How a TEEN Became a TEDx Organizer | Alessio Toniolo

June 18, 2025 • Ryan Brady • Season 1 • Episode 55

TEDx Speaker Ryan Brady sits down with Alessio Toniolo, a high school senior who got rejected by TEDx three times and then went on to organize his own TEDx event. In this episode, Alessio shares how he went from overlooked to in charge, what most people get wrong about TEDx, and why your age or resume doesn't matter nearly as much as your idea.

The SpeakingToExpand podcast, hosted by Ryan Brady, features value-focused conversations with top speakers, business leaders, and TEDx organizers.
