In this episode of Granite Goodness, we meet Anna and Kaarin, the self described locomotive management duo behind TEDx Portsmouth. Anna (the freight train) and Kaarin (the brakes) share their love for New Hampshire and the magic of TED. They swap stories about their deep roots in Portsmouth and immigrant ancestors, then go on to discuss everything from matriarchal elephant herds to finding lost cats and the secrets of good public speaking (all while belaboring train metaphors to describe their relationship). During this rollicking 60 mins listeners may hear some lessons about what it takes to build one of the top TEDx events in the world and the thrill of creating extraordinary experiences with incredible people.
