Me, On TED.com

The talk I’m giving at TED Active next Tuesday is a follow up to this talk I gave at TEDxPhoenix, which was tumbled earlier today by the folks at TED. Check it out:

tedx:

W‪hy do Americans vote on Tuesdays? Jacob Soboroff recounts how asking the simple question “why?” led to an unlikely but popular campaign to change the American election day. He calls on all of us to ‬question — and then challenge — everything.

Each week, we’ll choose four of our favorite talks, highlighting just a few of the enlightening speakers from the TEDx community, and its diverse constellation of ideas worth spreading. Browse all TEDxTalks here »
