Show Notes
We made it to the Season Two premiere! TNWID is finally BACK and ready for action. This season's opener is jam-packed! Listen in to hear Stephanie chat about:
-- the struggles AND triumphs of 2020;
-- what's new for season two; and
-- her TEDx talk on being a living ancestor.
As an exclusive BONUS, you get to hear her full TEDx talk which has not been publicly released anywhere else! TED released an old version and if you missed it, go watch now on Youtube (https://youtu.be/AAk1j3yyBJA) so you can compare the two. Stephanie breaks it all down in the episode as to why there are two versions.
AND, as a listener, don't forget to take the TNWID Survey (http://bit.ly/TNWIDSurvey) so we know what YOU want to hear more of for this season!
Stephanie's #TNWIDTakeaway for this episode is: "Legacies are made while we live, not just how and when we die...Each of us as living ancestors, we are shifting the course of human history by who we are and what we practice on a day to day basis."
