Facing fear | Sean Wilson | TEDxIronwoodStatePrison

As a kid, Sean Wilson had big dreams....but he gave up on those dreams because of fear. But he discovered the power of education while he was incarcerated, and now has a 4.0 GPA and lives free of fear.

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)
