Hey CJ . . .
Oddly, you aren't the first person to ask that recently. As I noted to them, TED is a community and process that you have to apply to, typically through local TEDX things and then you get invited to the big leagues maybe. Can't be arsed.
I'm getting invited to talk regularly these days, with an Australian clean energy webinar, an NZ multi-city talk series to geologists and mining engineers, a Chinese business executives talk on geopolitics of decarbonization and a Glasgow shipping debate being top of mind for the past few months, and a global institutional investors grid education, a California university student talk about radical electrification and what it means for their careers, and a green building conference keynote upcoming. Better than generic TED audiences in a lot of ways due to focus, although typically smaller numbers.
If TED reaches out and invites me at some point, I'll say yes, but I'm not holding my breath or working the system. ;)
Shipping articles on Medium... err... I guess I've published more articles on this than I'd realized.
