TEDxWaiakea-Jay Fitzgerald-Why "Authentic Experience" is so Important to Our TIme

Sharing his unlikely voyage of discovery and the lessons learned and why "authentic experience" is so important to our time.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Wait a tic Jay, aren't you the guy that drives a relatively new Toyota Tacoma pick up that uses a gasoline powered internal combustion engine?

WTF?

Is not it the height of hypocrisy is to show up at the Earth day rally in a gasoline powered vehicle?

Thanks much for the feedback, I appreciate it. It's pretty tough for those of us to advocate for modesty and responsibility to get much of a chance to get our message out, as our views are generally buried by the massive PR of more "commercial" interests. That's unfortunate, and it only makes issues worse at the cost of all.

Thanks again!

Great topic, great stage presence, great voice but if possible, get rid of the notes ( maybe just prompt cards ) Looking forward to the next instalment :-) Cheers.
