Graduating during the pandemic and facing the closure of his nonprofit startup, Imran confronted a profound question amidst a seemingly meaningless job: ‘If I had only a year to live, how would I spend it?’ This led him to an extraordinary 84-day adventure, living out of his car and traversing 48 US states and 15,298 miles to gather life wisdom from 1,000 strangers. Imran’s story is more than a personal narrative—it’s a call to rethink the quarter-life crisis, not as a setback, but as a pivotal moment for self-discovery and reshaping one's life goals. This talk promises to enlighten and inspire, offering valuable insights into embracing life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. Imran Nuri is an artist, storyteller, and motivational speaker based in Chicago, Illinois. He has a background in nonprofits, marketing, and social media management and graduated from The Ohio State University. He is best known for his black-and-white photo series and book "Advice From America" in which he gathered life advice from 1,000 strangers across the lower 48 US states in 2022. 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
