Create a better world for more people: a futurist's call to action | Rebecca Ryan | TEDxBeaconStreet

Futurist and economist Rebecca Ryan asserts that America is seasonal. Bad news? We're in winter (2001-2020). Good news? Spring is coming. But it'll take some work.
In this deeply personal talk, Rebecca shares how a winter in her own life emerged into spring. She challenges us all to dive head first into the work of making the world better for the next generation and beyond.
Rebecca Ryan is a professional futurist, economist, and author of The Next Big Things: The Next 20 Years in Local Government; Regeneration: A Manifesto for America's Future Leaders; and Live First, Work Second: Getting Inside the Head of the Next Generation.
