Detailing unexpected turns along his life, Terry Esau's TEDx talk walks us through a journey of what could happen when you follow your gut, embrace change, and take a chance. From small town punk, playing in a garage band with his Fender amp cranked to eleven—stomping on his wah-fuzz pedal, to becoming the Jingle King of Minneapolis, Terry Esau has written and produced thousands of pieces of music for TV commercials…from Target to McDonalds, Pepsi to Perkins, Harleys to Hondas, and Golden Grahams to Billy Graham.
Terry, a certified bike-o-holic, started a non-profit organization in 2010 called Free Bikes 4 Kidz, and has given away over 150,000 bicycles to kids in need. He holds the Guinness World Record for most bikes collected in one day—nearly 10,000 in Minneapolis! FB4K is now active in 20 cities with a goal of being in 100 cities and 1,000,000 bikes given away in the next five years. Recently Terry co-founded a new non-profit, Free Guitars 4 Kids, where he hopes to duplicate the success he has had with bikes, putting old guitars in young hands. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
