Matt argues that the most effective social causes are those able to speak to people's own personal ambitions and sense of self. Journeying through his own career as a social entrepreneur, Matt shows the ways social change and personal motivations might be made to intersect.

Matt Kepple is a social entrepreneur and social change strategist, who aims to create ideas that mobilise people to do their bit in changing the world. He has since founded numerous organisations to mobilise tertiary students to collectively sponsor a child or to crowd-fund little known charities in the UK.

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)
