Would you sit across from your one true love and feast whilst they starve? Would you close the door on them and have them sleep on the streets whilst you rest in your warm bed? Would you rather work with, than compete against, your one true love? Leonard Skinner is an Irish author, speaker, and passionate advocate for off-grid and sustainable living. His most recent work, Love in a Self-Serving World, ties in with his doctoral research in the philosophy of love, exploring the depths of human connection and the essence of what it means to love. Leonard's work is a reflection of his journey—one that combines a love for life, philosophy, and the enduring search for meaning.Instagram: @leonardskinnerofficial YouTube: @LeonardSkinnerOfficial This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

When her husband and business partner died suddenly, leaving behind their young daughters aged 7 and 9, Joni faced the daunting task of rebuilding their lives.

Nazmi Sinan Mıhçı konuşmasına ilk Dayı ile başlıyor, ama belli ki Dayı sadece bir kukla değil; içimizde susturamadığımız o sesi temsil ediyor. "Dayı" metaforu üzerinden geçmişle bugünü harmanlayarak, hepimizin kafasını kurcalayan sorulara mizahi bir dille dalıyor: Gerçek dediğimiz şey nedir? Hayallerimizle ne zaman yollarımız ayrıldı? Birlikte yaşamak, gerçekten mümkün mü? Dayı, dobra dobra konuşurken, Mıhçı bir yandan kendi iç çatışmalarını, bir yandan da toplumun aynasında gördüğümüz çelişkileri sorguluyor. Bazen hepimizin içinden geçen ama dile getiremediğimiz şeyleri söylüyor, bazen de bizi ters köşe yaparak düşündürüyor. Ama asıl mesele şu: Değişime ne kadar açığız? Farklı fikirlere kulak verip, ortak bir geleceği gerçekten demokratik bir şekilde inşa edebilir miyiz? Mıhçı, tüm bu sorulara esprili ve düşündürücü bir yolculukla cevap arıyor ve belki de en büyük cevabın, soruları sormaya devam etmekte saklı olduğunu hatırlatıyor. 1978 yılında Elbistan’da dünyaya gelen Nazmi Sinan Mıhçı, 1996'da İstanbul Üniversitesi Felsefe Bölümü'nü kazanarak büyük şehirdeki sanat yolculuğuna adım attı. İstanbul Üniversitesi Öğrenci Kültür Merkezi'nde tiyatroyla tanışan Mıhçı, sahnede yer aldığı çeşitli oyunlarla oyunculuk yeteneğini geliştirdi. 2010 yılında Atina’ya giderek, ünlü yönetmen Terzopoulos’un Attis Tiyatrosu'nda derinlemesine bir tiyatro deneyimi yaşadı. Oyunculuk kariyerini genişleterek, dizi, film ve reklam projelerinde yer aldı; aynı zamanda oyuncu koçluğu alanında da uzmanlaştı. 2000 yılından itibaren televizyon, reklam ve film dünyasında parmak kukla, bavul kukla ve canlı keçi gibi birçok yaratıcı kukla karaktere hayat verdi. 40 yaşında ise en büyük hayalini gerçekleştirerek, yazıp oynadığı "Bir Yıldız Batıyor" adlı tek kişilik kuklalı oyunuyla sahnelerde izleyicinin karşısına çıktı. Bugün ise "Kukla Kabare"de sevilen “Dayı” karakterine can vermeye devam ederek, sanat tutkusunu yeni nesillere aktarmaktadır.
