About “Generation Wealth” (Rated R)
“Generation Wealth” is a multi-platform project that Lauren Greenfield has been working on since 2008, and is being released in 2017 as a museum exhibition, a photographic monograph, and a documentary film.
Lauren Greenfield’s “Generation Wealth” is an extraordinary visual history of our growing obsession with wealth. Weaving two and a half decades of work into an epic narrative, Greenfield has created a revelatory cultural documentation of wealth for viewers to explore through a retrospective film, book and exhibition.
Through riveting first-person interviews, Greenfield’s journey starts in Los Angeles and spreads across America and beyond, as she documents how we export the values of materialism, celebrity culture, and social status to every corner of the globe. We embark on this journey with Greenfield as she travels the world – from Los Angeles to Moscow, Dubai to China – bearing witness to the global boom-and–bust economy and documenting its complicated consequences.
We hear the stories of students, single parents, and families overwhelmed by crushing debt, yet determined to purchase luxury houses, cars, and clothing. We visit the homes and observe the rituals of the international elite—from Bel-Air to Monaco, Russia to China. We gain intimate access into the lives of those that rose to extraordinary wealth and then lost “big” during the global economic crash of 2008.And we encounter the A-list celebrities we follow on reality TV and social media, the same influencers who shape our consumer desires and sense of self.

Provoking serious reflection, “Generation Wealth” is not about the rich, but about the desire to be wealthy, at any cost.

Speaker: John O'Sullivan: Changing the Game: The Parents Guide to Raising Happy, High Performing Athletes, and Giving Youth Sports Back to our Kids; Underwritten by Telluride Mountain School
2019-02-12 17:35 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Sheridan Opera House

6:45 pm Coaches – Sheridan Opera House
The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

TEF Free Film & Speaker Series Presents: “LIKE” with Guest Speaker Patricia Greenfield
LIKE is an IndieFlix Original documentary that explores the impact of social media on our lives. Technology is a tool. It’s here to stay and social platforms are a place to connect, share and care, but what is really happening? Are we addicted? How do we stop? Where do we start? What do we need to know? By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain, on our lives and on our civilization, we can learn to navigate it more safely together.

The goal of this film is to inspire people of all ages, especially kids, to self regulate. It’s about looking in the mirror and empowering ourselves to create balance in our lives and to learn to be there for each other.

World-Renowned
Motivational Speaker
Jeff’s powerful, funny, and world-renowned keynote speech will leave your audience smiling, inspired, and believing they too can Solve for POSSIBLE!
Jeff hopes to amplify the power and potential, as a Sherpa of sorts, in 1 million people by 2020 with his transformational message and life-altering experience.
Be a part of the experience!
His keynote is based on the award winning book titled I’Mpossible: Desire. Dream. Do. which he considers to be one of his greatest accomplishment since he got a D- in English and was told he would never be able to write a comprehensive sentence. As a part of this experience you will be given the tools of courage, confidence, and the winning results to overcome the demons of doubt, fear, and complacency which has paralyzed you perhaps from chasing down your dreams in the past.
Jeff understands what it’s like to be paralyzed in the past. After a heartbreaking accident in college, Jeff was physically paralyzed and faced with life-altering decisions that would affect his attitude and future forever. He believes everyone has the power and potential to accomplish the impossible, if they are willing to take the proper steps forward.
There is a casual way and a careful way!
As an ordinary man living life from a wheelchair, Jeff has accomplished some extraordinary things. He played in the 2004 Paralympic games in Athens Greece and is a silver medalist for the USA men’s wheelchair basketball team. Jeff is a National Champion who played for the Utah Wheelin Jazz and is a four-time All-Star MVP. He was the #1 men’s wheelchair tennis player in the State of Utah and won the St. George Marathon. Jeff also has two Guinness Book of World Records.
He earned his Master’s degree in Education and Curriculum and created a worldwide peer-to-peer leadership program for third-world countries, which was recognized at the United Nations in New York.
In his spare time, you’ll find him with his beautiful family, mentoring youth, eating pizza, playing games with friends, and exercising!
He is passionate about progress and peanut butter M&Ms.
Jeff’s teaching style, humor, and personality, which has always made him one of the most liked and sought after teachers during his 16 year career, is what will assist you in making World Record Winners as well!
