Dr. Vic Strecher at ZingTrain

Vic Strecher could talk to you eloquently and cogently about public health, adventures, the life of cows and dogs in India, dung beetles, modern neuroscience and ancient philosophy, entrepreneurship, disease prevention, innovation …. and if that’s not reason enough to come and listen to Dr. Strecher talk then perhaps this is. Vic Strecher recently emerged from a life experience that made him question his ultimate purpose and being the kind of person he is, he distilled his learnings from the journey into a book On Purpose: Lessons in Life and Health From the Frog, The Dung Beetle, and Julia. The book is a self-help guide, college lecture, confessional, and time-travel adventure all rolled into one. On Purpose uses a beautiful, fantasy-fueled, graphic novel format to tell a story of self-discovery and personal growth you’ll never forget. Please join us coming Wednesday, February 19, 730am-930am.

SESSION DETAILS AND REGISTRATION

A Beekeeper’s Dinner at Zingerman’s Roadhouse

Honey is honey, just that simple. But the life of a bee and making the honey is not. Did you know a hive of bees will fly over 55,000 miles to bring you one pound of honey? And that one pound of honey came from two million flowers? Considering one honeybee will only make about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her entire lifetime, that is not a simple task. Please join us at Zingerman’s Roadhouse this Wednesday, February 19, 7pm. Chef Alex has created a meal inspired by chef and spokesperson for The National Honey Board, Laurey Masterton and featuring recipes from her book, The Fresh Honey Cookbook. While Laurey is not able be at the dinner with us, her spirit and love of honey will shine through the meal.
