“Learn to Live” – TEDx Ashland

TEDxAshland.com – May 20, 2019

I was selected to be one of the inaugural TEDx Ashland speakers along with my friend, Trever Yarrish. Chief Experience Officer / Founding Partner of Coding Zeal.

We spent months after being selected, creating enough content to speak for several hours and write many books and launch a blog on the idea we came up with and refined into a 17 minute TEDx Talk.

The elevator pitch of the talk is that in 15 years 40 percent of the jobs are going to become obsolete because of robots and AI. We need to develop a new way of learning new skills rapidly using a derivative of the agile approach that Trever and I use in our shops, to write code.

The video of the talk should be posted on TED.com and/or Youtube soon and I will include a link to it when it is posted as well as a full transcription of the talk.
