My dream was to speak at a TEDEX or TED before I turned 50, but I didn't think I had a new idea. My idea is a very old one. Connect one person at a time and the world will be a better place. I realized that dream and now I'm 56. I'm still working on making the world a better place one connection at a time.

Organizing things.
