From steam engines to the internet, innovation has driven immense progress — but are we now stuck in a growth trap? The entrepreneurs of tomorrow may be those who redefine success through sustainability, balance, and purpose.

#100 - Free to Speak, Strong Enough to Listen
The Speak Freely, Think Critically course explores the tension between free speech and social cohesion, showing how open dialogue, even with uncomfortable views, builds mental resilience. Drawing on neuroscience and personal reflection, it argues that emotional maturity and curiosity are key to navigating disagreement. True cohesion, it suggests, comes not from silencing others, but from staying open when it's hardest.
