Hi everybody, my name is Laya Bomar and at my first day at Tasis, I was completely lost. Not just emotionally, but literally lost. I was holding my schedule trying to figure out what all the different colors meant.And looking around, everyone seemed to have this place memorized. And standing there with my schedule in one hand and my brand new leather shoes giving me blisters before I got to first period. I remember thinking, I am definitely the most confused person on campus.When you're new, you're forced t ...

Okay. Hello everyone. I'm so glad to see you guys here and my name is Agniv and I don't have a lab and I'm not a scientist but I discover new things every day which feel completely new to me.And most people think innovation starts in a lab with big machines and complicated formulas. I think innovation starts somewhere else. It starts when a person asks a really small question.Why. Before airplanes were ex existed, someone imagined flying, right. Before light bulbs, someone imagined light in the dark.Yeah. L ...

[music] [music] [applause] [cheering] [applause] Hello. It's great to be back here and I'm happy to see a lot of really young people in the audience. Um, my parents were actually a little younger than you guys when Ghana saw independence.So that means they're literally older than Ghana and they lived through some of the most turbulent times in Ghana's history. There were there was the overthrow of Kwaming Kruma. There were coups, there were famine and long stretches of military rule and a lot of uncertainty ...

Good morning. Stay with me. I want you to imagine this.And it's best done with your eyes closed. So, close your eyes. Imagine you're in a box, a room 6x 6x 6, no windows, no doors.You can smell nothing. You can hear nothing. You can see nothing.And now you're 18 years old and one of the walls breaks. You can open your eyes. What do you see besides this.So we all live in a box and the box has boundaries. And if you were to step out at the age of 18 having felt nothing, seen nothing, heard nothing, smelt noth ...

Core Argument - The report posits that human conflict stems from a deeper struggle between the survival drive (self-protection) and the connection drive (openness and trust), both essential for well-being [1] - The brain prioritizes survival, triggering fight-or-flight responses to both physical and emotional threats, leading to disconnection [1] - Disconnection is detrimental to health, impacting the immune system, blood pressure, and increasing risks of heart disease, dementia, and depression, comparable to smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a day [1] Relational Dynamics - Relationships consist of "you," "me," and "us," each with needs that must be balanced; imbalance leads to relational issues [1] - Societal disconnection manifests as political sectarianism, dehumanization, and the inability to hold differing views without animosity, harming individual and collective well-being [1] Solutions - The report advocates for interrupting cycles of disconnection through curiosity (understanding others), compassion (recognizing and responding to suffering), and connection (prioritizing the "us") [2][3] - Choosing connection involves leaning towards love instead of survival, fostering health, friendship, and collaboration [3] - The report encourages choosing curiosity over judgment, compassion in action, and protecting the "us" in relationships and communities [5][6]

Brand Philosophy & Sustainability - The brand started with a feeling of creating something richer, more intentional, and more human, rather than a mission statement [1] - Sustainability should feel good, not guilt-driven, and creating plastic-free products should be about designing an experience people love [5] - Following instincts can be the first act of sustainability [5] - The brand emphasizes innovating the formula (waterless and solid products) to innovate packaging, rather than just swapping out plastic [7] Product & Packaging Innovation - Most lotions and creams are 80% to 90% water, contributing to the beauty industry's 120 billion units of plastic packaging annually [6] - Waterless and solid products eliminate the need for plastic bottles, pumps, and preservatives, reducing the carbon footprint [7] - The company uses predictive algorithms to monitor temperatures on shipping routes and corn-based dissolvable liners to insulate packages [10][11] Challenges & Growth - The brand faces challenges in scaling due to the melting of lotion bars in hot weather, requiring innovation to maintain product integrity and brand values [8][9] - The company partners with material suppliers to develop next-generation plastic-free packaging solutions [11] - To solve plastic pollution, the industry needs to reimagine experiences end-to-end, focusing on what replaces the bottle rather than just the plastic [13]

I would like to start this speech with a little bit of action. Can everybody please put your hands on your head like this. And let's take a moment to think of what's in there.The big B. I can see from the smiles you're thinking of Amitab Bachel. We're not here to talk about Bollywood.What I meant was our brain. As children, our brains are so free. They roam the world, explore, ask questions.But as we grow up, our brains start to get confined by limitations, by boundaries, and a heavy cage settles over it. A ...

[music] [applause] Max. Relax. You didn't accidentally wander into Farsy language class.That's the language of a country I was born. Iran. But I did this on purpose because I wanted to make you pose.And that pose will change everything. March 2021, rejection after rejection for all my job applications. I sat on the floor of my apartment and said to myself, I've had enough.Why is this happening to me. I've done everything right. Studied, worked, adapted, and followed all the rules I have been told will lead ...
