Speaking Hope into the Lives of Others
Sandeep Kapoor, MD, MS-HPPL
A voice stating, “you are not alone,” left a longstanding imprint on the life of our TEDx speaker. The journey of life we travel is populated by an inherent need for acknowledgement— that feeling of being heard, understood, respected, and valued. Dr. Sandeep Kapoor describes the chronic illness SUD (substance use disorder) represents, and the resounding necessity for improved care, compassion, and empathy.
“Hiring People with Differing Abilities Is Good Business”
John & Mark X. Cronin of John’s Crazy Socks
The United States faces a labor crisis and part of the solution will come from hiring people with disabilities. They make the business case of how hiring people with differing abilities not only fills open jobs, but improves morale, productivity and retention and helps recruit other workers. John and Mark X. Cronin are the father-son team that founded John’s Crazy Socks, a social enterprise with a mission to spread happiness..

Rabbi Michael Klayman of Lake Success Jewish Center
A discussion about racism from the personal perspective of a white Jewish guy from Newark NJ: Rabbi Klayman talks about taking advantage of our backgrounds to fight racism and overcoming our backgrounds to do likewise.
