I shouldn't be surprised about the power of TEDx to hunt down stories most worth listening to- I was reminded of this the other day. As I plan for TEDxCalgary 'Wilderness' in the fall- one of the speakers I had in mind was Dr. Gabor Mate- I encountered his work whilst working at the Calgary Young Offender's Center.
As Curator I am constantly scanning, remembering and connecting stories in my head, as soon as I engaged with his work I knew that one day he needed to be a TEDx speaker. He would be a perfect speaker for the Wilderness them I thought about a month ago- I finally sent him an invite last week. As coincidences have it- a good friend of mine- posted this talk on FB Dr. Gabor Mate at TEDx Rio+20
His work connects with a number of other stories that I have wandered into in regards to the Human Condition. I think I might have to add it to the TED talks lineup I share at TEDxCalgary 'Wilderness'.
