Being a maker at heart he would talk about “building things"
Just like physical objects, even imaginary concepts are super important to reach the next level of consciousness.
Everybody has dreams -- but how many of us actually make any attempts towards realising them?
"making stuff" , "redesigning" and improvising can help us move forward, even if the initial pace is very slow,
to sum it all, the idea that "making" is integral to a person's existence will be the theme of this talk.
A brief bio about the speaker is as follows:
