  • Living On Under $30K A Year In 3 U.S. Cities | Millennial Money Marathon

    #CNBCMakeIt #MillennialMoney #CNBC
    Make It Marathon journeys to Washington, California, and New York to connect with three individuals earning less than $30,000.

    Chi Baik, 26, lives in Seattle, Washington and earns $27,000 a year as a Ph.D. student. Baik used to work as a teacher outside Washington D.C., but then moved to Seattle to get her Ph.D. in special education at the University of Washington. Despite earning less #money and having higher living #expenses, she is grateful for the money she is making and still finds ways to treat herself.

    Tiara Simmons, 39, is a lawyer in Long Beach, California and earns roughly $26,000 a year between her job as a law clerk and her social #media #marketing side hustle. She lives in a one-bedroom apartment with her husband, 3-year-old and chihuahua. Simmons is a below-the-knee amputee and has been disabled for nearly her entire life, and she wants people to know that those with disabilities are "disabled, not lazy."

    Hector Carvajal, 26, owns Don Carvajal Cafe, a Dominican-inspired coffee roasting company based in the Bronx, New York. In 2022, his business brought in roughly $190,000 in sales and from that, he lives off a $25,000 salary.

  • Making things that people love | Srijan Mahajan | TEDxSBSC

    What does the art, music, films & products we love most have in common? It’s not technical prowess or expert craftsmanship but this inexplicable feeling they evoke, something we can’t quite articulate but know exists.

    Srijan, a musician turned entrepreneur talks about leveraging emotion and putting oneself out there to create things that people love. Playing music since he was 8, Srijan has played over a 1000 concerts around the world taking over drumming duties for bands such as Parikrama, Shubha Mudgal and Koshish, Half Step Down, Cyanide and FuzzCulture at prestigious venues such as the Kennedy Centre in Washington, the Esplanade Concert Hall in Singapore and at the Music Matters Main Stage, apart from sharing the stage with icons such as Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Porcupine Tree. In 2012, he co-founded Studio Fuzz which has been the mecca for artists and film makers to help them realise their musical dreams.

    In addition to his musical career, Srijan co-founded, Pause, a platform for specialist mental health services by artists and for artists. Recognising the need for this service in India, Srijan Mahajan and Ankur Kampani founded Pause in 2021. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

  • Embracing a life of mediocrity | Crispin Thurlow | TEDxBasel

    It’s hard to accept life in the middle when the relentless language of superiority and comparison tells us we should always be the best or just better. Might the answer lie partly in rethinking mediocrity and perhaps even learning to embrace it?

    Crispin grew up in South Africa and England where he trained as a psychologist and then an actor. Long story short, he is now Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Bern.

    He previously held professorships at the University of Washington in the USA and completed his PhD at Cardiff University in Wales. As a sociolinguist, Crispin’s core research interest lies in the way people make sense of social difference and inequality in their everyday communication. He is currently finishing off a new book titled The Language of Elitism.
