TEDxVancouver - Nolan Watson - Compassion Kills

After becoming the youngest CFO (age 26) of Silver Wheaton, a multi-billion dollar public company, Watson went on to build Silver Wheaton into the largest metal streaming company in the world. Today, as Chief Executive Officer and President of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (a $280-million dollar company) and one of Canada's top 40 under 40, Nolan Watson has balanced his time by pursuing both business and humanitarian efforts. In 2004, he founded Nations Cry, an international organization building schools in Sierra Leone, Africa.

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)
