What's your potential to improve the world?
Ahmad Devji makes the case for leaning into your passions and talents to improve the world.

At 16, speaker Ahmad Devji was pondering about the purpose of life when he came across the Aristotle quote, "where talents and the needs of the world cross, therein lies your vocation." From there, Ahmed began a journey of self-discovery where he learned that leaning on your passions and talents is a gift to humanity, and "improving the world? It's not charity, it's fulfilling your potential as a human being."
