In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Ali Medhaoui

Network Marketer

16 years after moving to the U.S., I found myself still working 90 hours a week as a chef. I am a highly-motivated individual who put myself through college, and taught myself five languages. All I needed was the right Opportunity, for fewer work hours and more income. I found a company that possessed all three and I went to work. In less than two years part-time, I was able to replace a six figure income and fire my boss. Today I am blessed to say that every single day I wake up doing something that I truly love. I have a sense of purpose because I'm helping others change their lives for the better, too. My goal is to build a financial fortress around my family that will be impenetrable for generations. I plan to travel the world with the freedom I have now, trying to inspire as many people as I can to live the lives that they deserve. I'll enjoy money working for me, instead of the other way around, and instead of debt and liability, I'll leave a legacy for my children.
