15. TEDx, Gender and The Power of Curiosity
In 2023, Kai took to the TEDx stage with a powerful talk on gender and the ever-widening divide in how it’s understood. For some, gender feels simple; for others, it’s layered and complex. Kai’s talk was all about building bridges between those perspectives - bringing people together to learn from each other, reflect on their own experiences, and deepen their understanding through connection and curiosity.
In this episode, El and Kai pull back the curtain on what it really takes to prepare for a TEDx talk - the story behind his message, the countless hours of preparation, and the emotional energy that went into crafting something so impactful. Kai also shares a really powerful story that didn’t make it onto the stage (lucky us!) and the lessons he picked up along the way.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of TEDx, or if you’re looking for ways to approach conversations about gender with curiosity, connection and openness - this episode is for you!
