When lawyer, lecturer, and entrepreneur Taís Bahia began questioning the version of success society tells us to pursue, she uncovered a more authentic way to live. As she prepared to shift careers and move from Brazil to China, the pandemic forced a pause, leading to deep self-reflection. What followed was a bold solo journey across 13 countries. Solo but never alone, Taís met people who inspired her to rebuild from the inside out. In this talk, Taís shares personal insights and challenges us to rethink success, reminding us that embracing our uniqueness and chasing our own dreams may be our most radical and rewarding achievement. Taís is the founder and CEO of Xianzai现在, a Ph.D. candidate at Peking University, and a Corporate/M&A lawyer.
