Scott believes if we're going to hand this country off to our children better than we found it, we will have to overcome the distrust and disengagement in this country by bridging beyond our groups. We’re going to have to get back to a level of connection that transcends race, gender, and politics. We’ll investigate and unpack the mission he is on.

Books Scott mentioned during this conversation

  • Jocko Willink - Extreme Ownership 
  • Shawn Coyne - Chaos to Order
  • Robert Putnam - Bowling Alone & The Upswing
  • Sebastian Junger - Tribe
  • Scott Mann - Gamechangers

OUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY
NAVIGATING THROUGH COVID-19

The world is grappling with an issue of enormous scale and human impact, and our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

At TEDxSantaBarbara, we believe it is our role and responsibility to prioritize two things: the health and the well-being of our community while also playing a constructive role in supporting local health officials and government leaders as they work to contain the virus. Through that lens, we will continue to make decisions with vigilance and courage informed by the latest science-based information.

As of now, we are postponing our main event in the Fall, to the first weekend in November 2021.
