The Marketer Who Went Off Consumption at Mandala NYC

Yesterday, I spoke about my off consumption experiment at the Mandala NYC “performance party” organized by my new friend David Friedlander.

Inspired by the TED conference, David organized the first Mandala NYC event in August with the intent to kick off meaningful conversations about ideas that matter in an informal, accessible, and affordable setting. Since then, David has hosted an impressive list of speakers (August, September and October) and created a small but engaged community of regular attendees. David’s next event, under its new branding — Lucid NYC — is on 20th November and, if you are in NYC, you must not miss it.

At yesterday’s well attended event, my fellow speakers were relationship coach Michael Jascz, artist Steven Hirsch (do check out his Courthouse Confessions project) and green energy enthusiast Jonathan Colby.
