 Synchronic: Neo-Urbanism Grand Rapids, MI I was so incredibly humbled to have been invited to speak at the most recent Synchronic series. A dear friend of mine named Felip Ballesteros was tasked with starting a new branch of GRCurrent - an incubator in Grand Rapids. The branch would go on to be called Synchronic. It was to run in a similar fashion to TED talks. About a month before my election ended, Felip called me up one day and asked if I would be willing to speak at the event. It was to take place just a week after the November 4th election and so I didn't have a great deal of time to prepare for it with everything else going on. While I certainly thought he could do way better than me, I'm never one to turn down a good opportunity. I managed to put together a 25-minute speech and presentation on the pre-selected topic of Neo-Urbanism. I had a fair amount of experience with the topic having served as an Austin City Commissioner to the Mueller Neighborhood - a neighborhood strictly built around the principles of Neo-Urbanism. The event wound up being completely sold out and the audience was spectacular. It was a wonderful experience and I loved meeting everyone. |
