Vivid Ideas – Ram Castillo

Don't aim to make a million dollars, aim to help a million people.

If we were to lead with generosity and follow with care, would everything else follow? Design Director Ram Castillo once believed that having more money would provide him the ability to be ‘more’. He discovered the truth in the exact opposite. Being more is the catalyst for having more.

In this discerning talk Ram will ask you to think about the role creativity plays in society today, what society desperately needs, what can sustain our purpose as creative people and how we can be empowered to create meaningful change beyond our self-motivations.

Ram believes that we have the creative power, collectively, to change the entire world. That it all starts with solving micro-needs, action through consistent practical decisions and above all, to emerge from a place of service. By leveraging our creative identities, guided by our consciousness and fuelled by collaboration—anything and everything is possible.

Ram is an award winning, multi-disciplinary Design Director, host of top-ranking Podcast Giant Thinkers, is an international speaker, and author of two books 'How to get a job as a designer' and 'How to get a mentor as a designer'. He’s also recently started a new venture called Unrushed Experiences—which is a premium degustation of the senses event to help overworked professionals undo the damage of busy.
