The opportunity to share my passion at TEDx!
Speaking at a TEDx conference has been on my wish list for a long time. When I saw that a local TEDx event—TEDxChilliwack—was being organized, I jumped at the chance to apply. I was fortunate to be selected and also to be able to present about my passion—financial education. Here's the recording.
Talk description: Millennials face financial pressures that will jeopardize and limit their economic opportunities. This, combined with a lack of financial aptitude and overconfidence in financial matters, can be a recipe for a grim financial future for the largest generation since the Baby Boomers. Engaging over-confident, over-stimulated young adults in financial education has become the mission of Chilliwack's Tim McAlpine.
