20 days that changed my life | Patrick Lehoux | TEDxNickelCity

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Patrick shares what Inspired him and the unique opportunity that presented itself by a crowd-funding platform. As an inventor, Patrick set out to invent something. Little did he know that the next 20 days would not only change his life but also his children’s lives.
Two years and several patents later, Patrick now owns and manages a small but very profitable company. His products have contributed to the development of new programs for recycling glass in third world countries allowing small communities to not only enjoy the use of Patrick's product but they are also having a positive impact on the environment.
This life-altering change has inspired him to share his story with others around the world in hopes that they too can bring about similar changes in their lives.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
