Enlightening powerful food for thought and informational perspective that everyone needs to hear that could bring the world back together. What's more important to our existence than addressing truth decay and getting people to understand the threat of fake everything but especially in social media. It's killing our kids....and causing undue stress and anxiety. Thx!! I saw Social Dilemma and Fantastic fungi. Great doc films that support your points you made in presentation. You must see Common Ground that opens in theaters across the US toward end of month and Roots So Deep if you love true innovation and truth telling to power structures that will create systemic change for people planet animals and most importantly help to ensure a just and healthy world and livable planet for our children and future generations. Now that's a run on sentence. I'm out of breath. Pls come to our Regen Ag session tomorrow if you're here in the morn......Laura Turner Seydel

If I had to describe this session to a friend or colleague, I’d say it’s a unique opportunity to hear from Rohit about how design, storytelling, and emerging technologies can come together to transform education. It’s not just a talk—it’s an inspiring and practical session that challenges the way we think about learning, innovation, and the future of work. You’ll leave with fresh insights and ideas you can apply right away, whether you’re an educator, designer, or leader in the education space.

Eu gostei bastante, achei q abordou assuntos q são óbvios mas que no dia a dia nos esquecemos deles: o vídeo dis rotulos nos trás um lembrete poderoso, sobre o amor a nós mesmos e ao próximo, o video da aula de música também nos mostra de uma forma bem simples e emocionante sobre o qto podemos mostrar mais o qto o outro é notável e isso é lindo. Falar sobre cultura e onde queremos ser parte. E resumindo: “Ser exatamente humanos é a nossa vantagem“ obrigada

Sorry to not just make the feedback about Rohit, but it was fantastic to hear Rohit and Meg on consecutive days here at SXSW. It was so valuable to be introduced to two very different perspectives and processes working in the same space and trends, and I really had a lot to think about after hearing them both.

Attendee

Everyone should catch it. It's easily digestible for people who have never thought outside the box and visually engaging to boot. It leaves those who have the propensity to think differently wondering how and where can we meet more like minded people and put our brains together to create a difference.

Attendee

How do you make a framework for thinking outside the box? It seems like an impossible task, but Rohit made a great framework to getting started. It will take your own unique creativity and ingenuity to make it work, but Rohit’s energy and enthusiasm can definitely help spark some of that inspiration.

Non obvious is my middle name :) I’ve being the weird one, looking at what nobody could see and say things that didn’t make sense at the time for my whole life and it’s refreshing to see someone with that ability and that was able to put together a guide to open peoples minds.

Attendee

The future will be shaped by the decisions and the choices of the people around us (in our industry) Rather than passively rehearsing the future reactively, based on their choices, there are ways you can influence the future (yours at least) by actively driving choice.
