Standing In The Red Circle - What It’s Like To Speak at TEDx

One of the first big ʻthingsʻ to result from its publication was an invitation to present at TEDxSonoma County.  I had been a fan of TED for years and the chance to be part of this esteemed franchise, and maybe gain a little of the halo that comes from being on the TEDx stage, made the four grueling years writing the book feel like it was worthwhile.
