The Extemporaneous Life | Warren Etheredge | TEDxEverett

Warren Etheredge offers this examination of how most of us live our lives seeking comfort. Life should not be about comfort, It should be about engagement. It should be about living extemporaneously. This is a surprising talk that may or may not have been prepared in traditional fashion. Warren Etheredge is a Storyfinder™. He has conducted over 3,000 interviews. He is one of the founding faculty of TheFilmSchool (www.thefilmschool.com), helping filmmakers translate their stories for screens big and small, and The Red Badge Project (http://theredbadgeproject.org/), helping combat veterans work through PTSD and other issues by teaching them the art of storytelling. He hosts The High Bar (thehighbar.tv), his Emmy®-nominated television series devoted to “raising the bar,” Scene! & Heard for GreatMovieScenes. org and hosted Reel NW (kcts9.org/reel-nw) on KCTS. He served as the Chief Storytelling Officer for Enthrall Sports. He is the founder of The Warren Report (www.thewarrenreport.com), a published author, staged playwright, successful producer, veteran festival curator and much sought-after public speaker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
