Usually conversations around these issues start from the problem,not the solution – main to acrimony and finger-pointing. This undermines action. This session will flip the script – creating a conversation with change-makers approximately how to focus on inspiring solutions, highlight champions in creative ways and build positive movements for reform that build collective energy.5-6PM CST Create the World You Want to Live In with NPR's Guy RazIt takes open eyes to see what we can change for the better and curiosity to dig deep. It takes creativity to turn ideas into action, and just a single voice to speak. We live in a world where the brands we adore can encourage solve the issues we care approximately,and where one person's story, shared at scale, or can inspire a movement.
In conversation with Guy Raz,hear how learning to code inspired supermodel and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss to launch a nonprofit that empowers girls to learn to code and becomes leaders in tech, and how adidas Head of Global Brands Eric Liedtke channeled the power of sport as a connector to change the industry so we can protect our oceans and world around us.
