Why we hide our differences — and how to stop | David Jiang | TEDxShahe Street
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-13 15:51
Core Argument - The speech emphasizes the importance of recognizing "invisible differences" beyond visible categories like race, gender, and age, arguing that these hidden aspects of identity profoundly shape individuals' experiences and well-being [4][5][7] - It posits that societal expectations and norms often force individuals to suppress or hide these differences, leading to emotional distress, isolation, and a loss of potential contributions to the community [8][10][13] - The speech advocates for empathy as a key tool for acknowledging and valuing these invisible differences, promoting a more inclusive and authentic environment where individuals feel safe to express their true selves [17][20][25] Societal Impact - The speech suggests that overlooking invisible differences not only harms individuals but also weakens communities by stifling creativity, innovation, and meaningful connections [12][16] - It argues that authentic diversity thrives when everyone feels safe to express their full selves, leading to a richer and more vibrant society [12][16] - The speech highlights the role of societal expectations in shaping individual identities, noting that people often internalize cues about which parts of themselves are acceptable and valuable [8][9] Call to Action - The speech encourages listeners to actively listen to quieter voices and value perspectives that differ from their own, even when they are initially confusing or challenging [23] - It promotes the idea that creating a world where differences are openly accepted requires daily commitments to truly see each other as individuals [24] - The speech concludes by emphasizing that choosing visibility means choosing connections, dignity, and openness, ultimately building communities where everyone feels seen, accepted, and free to be themselves [25]

How to build organic brand success | Amith S Kumar | TEDxSPIPS Indore
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-06 15:43
Startup Strategy & Value Proposition - The core of a startup should be the value it brings to society, addressing pain points and improving lives, which then leads to valuation [3] - The initial step for a startup with a brilliant idea but no market presence is human conversation to gather genuine feedback, rather than immediately building websites or funnels [4] - Asking for help and genuine feedback from potential customers is crucial in the early stages, with clear intentions to improve the product or vision [5] - Public relations (PR) is an underutilized yet impactful branding channel for startups with limited resources, as endorsements influence customers more than self-promotion [9] - Authenticity should be at the core of everything a founder does to increase personal brand and endorsements [14] Marketing & Customer Engagement - Endorsements are earned by sharing customer stories and learnings, highlighting the impact of the product on their lives [10] - In today's environment, people connect with people, so founders should focus on human interaction, using AI as an amplifier, not a voice [12][13] - The traditional "4 Ps of Marketing" are evolving to "Pain, PR & Personal Branding, Partnerships, and Personification" [15][16][17] - Personification, or humanizing the brand, is essential for earning authenticity and credibility in the market [17] Scaling & Partnerships - Partnerships are essential for scaling, as exemplified by Perplexity's collaboration with telecom providers to offer free access to their Pro version [16]

[Applause] I want more people to bump into nature so that we can experience more of our nature. And I've never told a story about why until today. And to share that story, I have to tell you a story by a tar of Nishapore who was a Persian poet.And he talks about three butterflies and the candle flame. And so the first butterfly went close to the flame and said, "I know about life." The second butterfly went close enough to let its wings be burned and said, "I know how love can burn."

My two love languages, words of affirmation and acts of service, he has mastered them both. It's almost like he was built just for me.

But to keep things simple, let's ...
