b'Kaila Colbin is the Curator of TEDxChristchurch (New Zealand) and TEDxScottBase. She\'s also the founder of Missing Link and the New Zealand Ambassador for Singularity University, a co-founder and Chair of the non-profit Ministry of Awesome, and a force of nature. I learned a lot about Christchurch during our conversation and how she came to NZ in the first place.\\n\\nIn 2009 she did a talk at TEDxAuckland and was hooked. She\'d set a goal to speak at TEDx and achieved it. She also set a goal to produce a TEDx in Antarctica and rallying other Kiwi TEDx Organizers to the cause. We interviewed Trent Yeo about his role in that enormous effort. I loved her quote about that effort, "We married the hurdles of working in Antarctica plus producing a TEDx."\\n\\nYou\'ll want to listen as she tells the story of the 2011 earthquake that destroyed 70% of the city, just weeks before TEDx. I won\'t spoil the surprise. How they managed the crisis turned into a talk that she gave at TEDActive in 2011.'
