When it comes to homelessness, we've been asking ourselves the wrong question for a long time. We've asked, "How do we solve homelessness. " But what if the real question is, "How do we return people to themselves. " Because if we're honest, we've built housing. But what we haven't built were places where people can be returned to themselves with stability, healing, and belonging. The state of homelessness in the United States is dire. Today, we have over 770,000 people experiencing homelessness in the Unit ...

Good morning everyone. Now to have great trade you have to have a great navy to protect it. Like Pandit Johal Nehu said to be secure on land we must be supreme at sea and that is the job of the Indian Navy.Apart from defending the 11,000 km of coastline, the Indian Navy is tasked with keeping our trade routes or our sea lanes of communication open. Now, ever wonder what it is to be on one of these ships. The first is the rolling and pitching, the constant motion. Rolling is the sideways motion of a ship and ...

blonde, tall, attractive. That's probably what you notice first. And in that split second, your brain already filled in the blanks.Is she dumb. arrogant, selfish. The truth is, you didn't see me.You saw a projection of everything society taught you about people who look like me. So, who of you didn't put me in a box right away. Hands up.If your hand is up, I'm sorry to disappoint you because the truth is, we all do it. Our brains decide in under 100 milliseconds, friend or foe, ally or enemy. This psycholog ...

Today I'm going to be speaking with you about the journey of hope, especially at times of adversity. But before I share my understanding of hope, I want to share with you all a little bit of a story that brought me to TEDex today. You see, back in 2017, a certain institution opened the doors to nominations for a TEDex speaker.They said that we'll keep them nameless, but they said that if a person got enough nominations, we would allow them to speak on our platform. And this has always been a dream of mine t ...

Imagine [music] [music] [applause] your body as a living city, fast forward, vibrant, full of motion and in constant. In our body, billions of cells work together in perfect harmony, in perfect coordination, each with a purpose, each in its destiny. But sometimes that's harmony break.A single cell loses its way and begin to grow out of control. An illegal, dangerous building rises in the city. A tumor.Now imagine sending a tiny invisible robots ghost [snorts] that can find this building and destroy it from ...

Why fail if you can succeed. Building a thriving high-tech startup company is easier than you think. Founders who build high-tech startup companies dream of great success, of fame and big headlines, of an exit worth hundreds of millions of dollars.But the reality is much darker. Only one in 10 companies have an exit and only a handful of those will be a huge exit. In my first company, Rush Intelligence Systems was one of the nine that failed.And here is me in my late 20s standing in front of the office. Rus ...

[applause] Not long ago, I was giving my dog a walk. His name is Martini. That wasn't even a joke. [laughter] Uh, my wife was out of town and I left my phone inside so I could get away from the incessant buzzing and took him on a nice long walk. And I came back inside and I had one of those moments where your stomach sinks because I looked at my phone and I had a lot of missed calls. And my first thought was, "My wife is pissed about something. This is a lot of calls. " But then I looked and it wasn't just ...

I have competed in thousands of BMX races in my life, but being that BMX racing is one of those Olympic sports that the general population really only follows for one day every four years, only three among those thousands of races count as among the most influential moments of my life. Influential and in turn consequential. We make a litany of decisions every single day.Some big, some small, and sometimes we are faced with a pivotal moment and the question, now what. Though we may not know it at the time, h ...
