This document summarizes the origins and purpose of the Just Speak Up (JSU) group. It began in 2010 when two unemployed friends sought to gain knowledge and jobs by sharing ideas in a format inspired by TED talks. The group protocol aims to spread intriguing topics across all fields through 18 minute video presentations without limits on expressive styles. Members hope to build knowledge, presentation and logic skills, and relationships through the monthly meetings where up to three presenters discuss various topics. The overall goals are to have an awesome life and seek world peace through the JSU community.
