In 2016, a federal appeals court struck down an Ohio law that provided penalties for lying during political campaigns. The reason? There is, in fact, a constitutional right to lie. Sure, you can be prosecuted for things like fraud, perjury, and libel, but those are exceptions. In general, constitutional protection for free speech does not depend on whether the speech is true. And when the topic is politics, untruthful speech is not only protected under the First Amendment, but enjoys the highest level of constitutional protection. Why? That’s what this talk is about. For twenty minutes or so, we’ll step back from the fray of partisan politics to take a look at the history and ideas behind our current system.

This talk explores the topics of youth entrepreneurship & innovation and finding purpose in one’s business, career, and personal life.  Youth entrepreneurship has impacted the world globally. Learn about this impact and how we can collectively encourage and support it. 

Furthermore, the concept of purpose is interesting because when we think about it, everything and everyone has a purpose for existence. We’re told to do things like “discover” and “find” our purpose as individuals. Businesses communicate their purpose to consumers in the form of  mission statements, values, and slogans. But what’s the true meaning of “purpose” and why does it matter?

Miracle will share her personal story and how it has influenced her questions about purpose and her goal to make her community and the world better than she met it, leveraging her proclivity for business and entrepreneurship. The goal is to inspire the audience and provide them with practical takeaways that they can apply in their business, career, and their personal lives.
