Changing mindsets in a convenience culture | Ted Montalvo | TEDxUniversity of Montana Western
In an age of convenience, distraction, and increasing isolation, Ted Montalvo challenges us to reconsider what truly enriches our lives. Through personal stories and reflections on growing up in rural Montana, he makes a compelling case for embracing the "inconvenience" of human connection and investing in the communities that help us thrive.Sponsored by the Fund for Experience One, our conference provides a multidisciplinary forum for academic minds to gather and exchange ideas worth sharing. Speakers selected to present at TEDx University of Montana Western are directly connected to the local community or have topics that support Montana Western’s mission and values. TEDx University of Montana Western showcases the diversity and academic fortitude of our institution while providing a venue for speakers to submit their research to a global network.
This conference was filmed in front of a live audience on March 21, 2026 in the Beier Auditorium.
