Get Charged | Eduardo Garcia | TEDxBigSky
“Bag of bones with a heartbeat” The description given by the Doctor on call when Eduardo Garcia was admitted to the burn trauma ICU after being electrocuted by 2400 volts. In a stirring and emotional talk Eduardo Garcia digs into the human experience with pain. He proposes a scenario where by we rethink positive or negative experiences and instead utilize all of life’s experiences as fuel towards being continually forged into stronger representations of who we are. Eduardo Garcia is a chef, outdoorsman, athlete and motivational speaker & the co-founder of a national food brand, Montana Mex. During a Montana backcountry hike in October 2011, Eduardo was electrocuted by a buried high voltage power source, where he suffered extensive, life-threatening injuries and had to have his arm amputated.
Today, five years after his experience, Eduardo is the subject of the award winning feature length documentary “Charged” and is working on a number of media projects including “A Hungry Life” - a TV concept which follows him into the wild places of the world as he creates exceptional food over a campfire - and is on a personal mission to help those who are dealing with trauma. He is a spokesperson and athlete for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, a NGO that provides support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles.
To unwind Eduardo spends his time at home in Montana, tending to his garden, collecting fresh eggs from his chickens and roaming the hills with his family. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
