Lucky Jack is the story of a man who realizes that it’s never too late to chase your impossible dream. It’s the story of a man who finds purpose by pursuing his best self - the ancient idea of Areté - and challenging others to do the same.

Lucky Jack is also the story of his son, Steve Edwards, who, in this TEDx talk, finds his purpose by helping others find their Areté, their “highest sense of self with moral excellence of character.” Areté means that individuals should strive to pursue their passions and realize their dreams regardless of their circumstances or adversities.

Named one of the most influential New Jerseyans in 2015 by NJ Business Magazine, Steve Edwards is on a mission to help people find their heroes and realize their dreams through the New Jersey Hall of Fame. As president of the foundation board of trustees, he co-chaired a capital campaign raising $20 million for a state-of-the-art entertainment and learning center at American Dream and helped create inspirational exhibits throughout the state.
