In the video, a man is standing on a stage and giving a speech. He is wearing a black and white checkered shirt, black pants, and a black tie. The man is holding a microphone in his hand and appears to be speaking into it. The stage is dimly lit, and there is a banner with the words "TEDxColumbus" visible in the background. The man is gesturing with his hands as he speaks, and he appears to be engaging with his audience.
