Theme: Epoch: Capture Your Kairos

Epoch captures a crucial time in our journey when dreams and reality start to entangle and forge together. It’s a period when we have the opportunity to mold our future, as nothing is certain, and each decision we make can redefine our path. Understanding the Epoch helps us recognize the significance of this time and the impact of our choices during it.

During the Epoch of our lives, our cognitive biases influence our journey and decisions in both positive and negative ways. Addressing these biases helps us more effectively turn our visions into lasting realities.
