00:07Comunicación no significa simplemente hablar con otros.
00:11Especialmente escuchando lo que otros quieren decir.
00:15Y me encanta escuchar a muchos de los voces.
00:30Comunicación no significa hablar con los voces.
01:00Comunicación no significa hablar con los voces.
01:02Cuando yo era joven, mi padre siempre dijo que para mi vida siempre debemos ser apasionados y curiosos.
01:10Mi madre trabajó en el medio internacional, que es una gran influencia en mí.
01:22Ellos me inspiraron y seguían sus voces.
01:26Así que viajaba.
01:27No quería seguir la tendencia de ese momento.
01:30En los años 90, la mayoría de las personas querían estudiar en los Estados Unidos.
01:34Yo elegí Europa.
01:36La mayoría de las personas querían estudiar negocios o tecnologías.
01:39Yo elegí liberal arts.
01:41Hola, Marikaban.
01:42Good morning.
01:43Good morning.
01:44Hey Heath, this is your job.
01:45I started working in the international media and I realized that what moves the world,
01:58what makes it running is humanity, it is creativity.
02:01Can I?
02:02Can I?
02:03Can I?
02:04Okay, I'll open it.
02:05At this moment, I'm both an educator and an entrepreneur.
02:10Educator in the sense that I teach a program called creative business.
02:16And as an entrepreneur, it's everything about adding creativity into the business and adding humanity into the technology.
02:29Cultural broker is a specialist who serves as a mediator between diverse cultural groups or persons from different cultural backgrounds with the goal of reducing conflicts and generating changes.
02:48Culture gets into everything and navigations are incredibly illuminating.
02:53Cultural broker is a very interesting word and I think it is very important for the current world.
03:08Cultural broker is someone that acts as an intermediary, connecting different cultures and also to avoid conflicts.
03:19At this moment, I've been working on several projects and all the projects has one mission, that is to connect the West with the East.
03:37I see myself more as a connector of 360 degrees, so it's in many dimensions.
03:44It's made to be bringing the Western brands to the Chinese market or bringing Chinese brands and companies or cultures to the Western market.
03:56Also connect the physical world with the digital world, connect Web3 with Web2, as well as connecting what we call nowadays the metaverse with the real world.
04:14I'm Dutch-Chinese by definition at this moment, but I see myself as a Chinese.
04:23I am Chinese in my heart, in my tradition.
04:28But at the same time, I understand Dutch and European culture deeply.
04:46If I'm missing home, of course I am, constantly.
04:49China is a part of me and living so far away, it's complicated sometimes.
04:56Now after 22 years living in Europe, I married a Dutch husband, I have two kids, I embrace the differences and have learned so much.
05:10One of the latest projects I've worked on lately, that I'm really, really proud of, is The Twelve.
05:23The Twelve is a very exciting and I would call it also a sexy and stunning project.
05:33Basically, you can call it, it is an NFT or non-fungible token collection that we launched and it's inspired by the Asian Zodiac.
05:57So it kind of brings the East culture into these new technologies and it is a collection of 12,012 NFTs or non-fungible tokens and we're releasing and it looks amazing.
06:13Creativity for me is very important and I fully believe in creator-driven projects and that is also where I invest all my energy and my time in.
06:34I would like to say to my students, my kids, so basically the young generation that keep trying, keep exploring and keep changing.
06:53Be fearless, be curious and be passionate and change is not just about revolution, it's also about evolution, so go for it.
