In a very special episode of Beyond the Talk, UF’s 12th and current President, W. Kent Fuchs, dives into detail about his non-traditional path to university leadership, his methods of remaining accessible to the student body, and his vision for the University of Florida’s future. President Fuchs helps to define and discuss the meaning behind “Legacy,” the theme of the 10th-annual TEDxUF conference. Few university presidents have become a relatable, visible presence on their campuses, but President Fuchs has managed to do just that, while constantly encouraging people to love one another and always have fun.

In this episode, listeners learn about what goes into the creation of a TEDxUF salon event from the salon curator herself, Hannah Lyons. Additionally, Hannah speaks to her extensive involvement on campus, career goals, and lessons learned while holding influential leadership roles. Listen to get a unique, behind-the-scenes look into the creation of four highly impactful events over the past semester and a half.

Though TEDxUF has established and bringing people together for ten years, a speaker event with a year-long build-up is bound to draw some questions. To give listeners more insight into how TEDxUF originated and functions today, this episode dives into the history of TEDx and TED, as well as the formation and meaning behind the infamous “salon” events.

Conversations about mental health are often regarded as taboo, especially on college campuses where productivity is lauded and academics trump all else. Valeria Hernandez, a past TEDxUF speaker, is all too aware of these stigmas, and has worked tirelessly to start the discussion about the ins and outs of mental health awareness, especially for the University of Florida student body. In this episode, Hernandez discusses her own development as an activist, attests to how the pressure to succeed can often be crushing, and shares her ideas about how to start taking care of not just the people around you, but yourself.

Back in October of 2014, I met with the organizers of TEDxUF, the largest TEDx conference in the southeast, about an idea for a talk. Over the past six years, salsa dancing has completely changed my life and I wanted to share my experiences on stage. The organizers loved the idea and so did I, so I got the green light for A Brave New Salsa Dancing World. Flash forward a month, and I've made no real progress on my talk. I had a rough outline but there were lots of holes in the story and, most importantly, I had no ending. Driving in the car, I was thinking of how to end this talk. Could it be with a dance, something motivational, funny? Then, I got a text. It was from my girlfriend (who I first met at a salsa social) and it read "Love you, muah". BAMMM!  It hit me like a train. I knew exactly how I was going to end this talk. I was going to propose to my girlfriend on stage. It both excited and terrified me at the same time. I spent the next 4 months living a double life. On one side, I worked with my girlfriend to build up the talk that she thought I was going to give, which included her dancing on stage. And on the other side, I worked on the talk I was actually going to give. The whole facade came close to crumbling down on numerous occasions: almost sending her the wrong draft of the talk for review or saying lines seemingly out of order to her as we practiced together. Then the day finally came. I don't know which made me more nervous, giving a complete TED talk from memory (c'mon, powerpoint is for amateurs) or getting down on one knee to ask the love of my life to marry me. Probably a little of both. Once I began my talk, all of the nerves that had built up over the past 5 months, the planning, writing, editing, re-editing, re-re-editing....it all just melted away. I was in the zone, hitting on every point in my Memory Palace. But as I neared the conclusion of my talk, something dawned on me. I was about to propose in front of 1500 people! You can see the exact moment where this realization occurs, right after we finish dancing for our second time. I sound quite winded from the dancing. Lies...all lies. I dance salsa all the time, so 30 seconds of dancing is not going to put a dent in me. Me sucking wind is entirely due to forgetting to breathe for a moment as I let my girlfriend head back off stage. I suddenly realize that I have 4 more lines before the backstage organizers will re-introduce her into the talk (push her back on stage). As I delivered those last few lines, it felt exactly like going skydiving. When you head up in that plane, the instructor --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thisweekinsalsa/message
