“Created in the spirit of TED’s mission, ‘ideas worth spreading,’ the TEDx program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.”

In July of 2012, Scott was given the chance to give a talk at TEDxDes Moines about ambition.

Be sure to check out all the other TEDxDes Moines talks from some wonderful speakers such as former Attorney General of Ohio Lee Fischer, CEO of Dwolla Ben Milne, fellow weird guy Mike Wagner, and an amazing talk by Sociology Professor Nancy Burns.

There are thousands of other TED and TEDx talks about a wide range of topics available for free online.
