    • How Desh is out to revolutionize the ultimate cool — intelligent conversations — and how this vision started by running large scale events for hip hop and R&B artists
    • Desh's passion for ‘edutainment’ — part education and part entertainment — and how he creates global movements led by scientists, philosophers, and the greatest thinkers of our time around this concept
    • How progress has happened throughout history in 2 ways — violence and conversation — and why now is the time to advance humankind and lead societal change through civil dialogue
    • Tools for productive conversations with people and communities we fundamentally do not agree with
    • The truth about overnight success: it takes over a decade of hard work to create it
    • The keys to living a life full of confidence, drive, and freedom
