Don't Wait To Be A Hero

Scarsdale resident and volunteer fire fighter, Mark Bezos, is the development director of Robin Hood, a poverty-fighting charity in New York City. He joined Robin Hood following the sale of his advertising agency, excited to have found a way to use his powers of persuasion for good.

In Scarsdale Bezos serves as a volunteer firefighter and at a recent TED Conference he told the story of an act of heroism that didn't go quite as expected -- but that taught him a big lesson: Don't wait to be a hero.

Bezos, who lives here with his wife Lisa and four children, agreed to share this inspirational video with you. Click here to view this memorable moment.
