The TED story
I have been listening to TED since my senior year of undergrad back in 2008. It opened my world to learning powerful bits of information in 12 min segments. I watched the start of TEDx and decided (with a friend) to launch a TEDxCoeurdAlene in our town. Our first year was 2016 and have had a sold out crowd ever since. I how my mind feels when I can discuss and talk about ideas.
