In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of events that bring people together to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. One of the world's foremost entrepreneurs, Sir Richard Branson, bootstrapped his way from record-shop owner to head of the Virgin empire. Now he's focused on encouraging his companies to employ people freshly released from prison, and even some who are still inside and working towards release. "Everybody deserves a second chance," he says. “From separation to togetherness. From punishment to rehabilitation. From despair to hope. I am fortunate to enjoy all kinds of experiences, but few have been as transformative and moving as the first ever TEDx talk held in a California Prison”.
