[Applause] It's 2:00 a. m. and David is still awake.His laptop glows in the dark as he stares at his unfinished essay. His eyes are blurry for staring at the screen for so long. He's exhausted, but sleep won't come.The next morning, he wakes up. He eats breakfast and makes it through the day, pretending he's fine, but he's not. Inside, he feels like he's drowning.Later that evening, he's doom scrolling through reals, comparing his life to the polished Instagram posts of others. He feels trapped in a cycle h ...

[Applause] Think of those impactful people in our lives that eventually got phased out either due to them becoming unrecognizable to us or to external circumstances. Sometimes this may be a painless transition and sometimes it may cause people to break down into the most vulnerable form. I'm here today as I believe that this generation is going to have more connections and yet have less meaningful ones that they are able to generate.This is because not of how we are born, but because of how we've been shape ...

So, let me start off today with a question. Who here thinks forgetting is a bad thing. Yeah, I see some hands.We've all had that one time when we forgot our partner's wedding anniversary or we forgot our friend's birthday and they scold us for it. One of my favorite examples of a forgettable offense is a story about a mom, my mom, and a bakery she absolutely despised. Uh, the owner apparently was really rude and condescending towards my mom and cuz he had a bad day.So, ever since then, that bakery has been ...

I wonder how this image makes you feel. When I first looked at this image, I didn't just see it. I felt it in a really profound and visceral way. I experienced the incredible healing power of photography. It changed my life and it became the catalyst for everything I've done since. Let me tell you a story. I'll take you back to my early 20ies. I'm sitting on the edge of a hospital bed. I'm there because I've just tried to take my own life. The room is cold. It's very bright. It's really noisy. People are sp ...

Imagine [Music] this. Whenever you're sad, angry, frustrated, or irritated, you might not you might hide those emotions inside a bottle and you might not show it. Have you ever experienced pentup emotions.Or how many of you here have been forced to smile inside but actually felt like screaming in the outside. Well, if you pay attention to depressed people, their most common replies might sound like, "I'm not sure." or "I don't know" or "I don't remember." This is because they either don't know their own emo ...

[Music] [Applause] So, you're telling me that when we're in the workplace, we can talk about our broken ankle. We can talk about our torn ACL, but we can't talk about our depression and anxiety. We can talk about our bad back, but don't talk about menopause.What fool made up these rules. And what fools are we if we follow them. This lore crashes directly into the goals of having an optimized and productive workforce.In the 16 years since I opened my first restaurant with my business partner, we've grown our ...

You pick up the phone when your best friend, partner, or child is calling and you know from the moment they say hello how they're feeling. We all know there's a big difference between hey and hi. You know this person so well that the most subtle tone change says it all.And you know exactly what kind of conversation you're about to have. But let me ask you, do you know your own body this well. I want you to imagine your physical being on the other line.Our bodies are constantly calling us in the form of feel ...
