Last night, I gave my talk at TEDx Walden Pond. I’m not even sure I have words to express the experience.
Walden Pond has a special place in the history of thought in America, and I knew I had something to say here, in this spot. To be able to say it in this format, in this location was an absolute honor and privilege. I can feel the thread that runs through all the great thinkers of the past that shared their ideas here too.
Going through this process with this particular TEDx team shattered all my expectations. I know I’m a better speaker because I was here. Every board member contributed to my growth and success.
The other speakers were phenomenal. Not only were their talks inspiring and insightful, but they are also each amazing wonderful human beings and I am so grateful that we got to take this journey together.
This is just the beginning, because soon we will have our videos to share with the world, but this is definitely an experience I want to remember.
