Today the Third Edition of the Festival de las Ideas, Puebla 2024, Concluded
The Festival de las Ideas, Puebla 2024 said goodbye with the Economy and Leadership segments.
The segment began with the participation of Roberto Salinas, a leading expert in trade, monetary policy and economic freedom in Latin America, who mentioned how important supply chains are in nearshoring. He also introduced the entrepreneurs and founders of Lula, one of Miami's most successful insurance technology companies, Matthew and Michael Vega-Sanz, who discussed how generative artificial intelligence will build a cheap, multilingual, unlimited workforce. Later, the brilliant Greek economist, Elena Panaritis, spoke of the informality in which 70% of people live and that only with conscience will we save humanity.
In the middle of the segment, we had the show of the artistic talent of La Chirichota, a comedy group that gave us a show of humor, music, theater and unparalleled joy. The segment continued with Per Bylund, the famous libertarian thinker and researcher of the wealth of nations and entrepreneurship, who talked about what processes entrepreneurs use to do something new. Finally Jeff Booth, the visionary executive of the technology-economy relationship for more than 20 years, closed the segment.
This part began with the keynote speech by Jay Shetty, inspirational author and former Buddhist monk, who not only told about purpose in your workplace, but also in your life. On the other hand, Ricardo B. Salinas Pliego offered us a talk about his life story and how not to give up despite the difficulties. Likewise, the fastest ultramarathoner in Mexico, Lorena Ramírez, gave us a conference about what her life has been like, how she started running in Chihuahua and what she has achieved as an marathoner. Then Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, one of the most sagacious politicians, journalists and intellectuals in Latin America, addressed a message to young Mexicans, asking them to defend democracy from populism and pessimism, and swim against the current like salmon. Later the Esteriore Brothers performed, who lifted all the attendees from their seats with their music; Tiago Forte captivated us with his speech on the power of digital notes apps and, finally, the scholar and doctor Joseph Michael Levry, pointed out that to activate our mega brain we need to have rhythm with breathing to achieve alpha waves and peace in the brain, among other things.
