THE PURPOSE
Technology expands what we can build. But behind every innovation, business, and creative breakthrough is a person with a story, a vision, and potential waiting to be realized.
The Science of Human Potential Lab: Your Story Is Capital™ brings together motion picture writers and producers, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, scientists, creative visionaries, and community leaders to explore how personal alignment, technology, and storytelling can help move that potential forward.
This experiential mixer connects the person behind the idea with the story behind the opportunity. Together, we will explore what helps us show up with greater clarity and purpose, and how to communicate our vision so others understand its value and see a role in helping it grow.
ALIGNMENT: THE PERSON BEHIND THE VISION
Realizing our potential involves our physical well-being, mental clarity, environment, relationships, and sense of purpose.
Dr. Omer Deen will bring the gut–brain connection into this conversation, inviting us to consider how we care for the person doing the creating, building, and leading. His own entrepreneurial journey will also offer an opportunity to explore how a scientific mission becomes a story that others can understand and support.
STORYTELLING: MAKING YOUR POTENTIAL VISIBLE
Whether you are producing a film, building a company, advancing research, or creating community impact, your story helps explain who you are, what you are pursuing, and why it matters.
Through interactive conversations with accomplished storytellers, participants will explore how to bring their experience, expertise, and vision into a clear, compelling narrative. These exchanges will invite you to practice telling your story and consider how it can build trust, attract collaborators, and open conversations with potential funders.
FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT: CONNECTING VISION WITH RESOURCES
A compelling story gives context to a business plan. Financial information, preparation, and a clear purpose help others assess how that vision can move forward.
WaFD Bank will bring a banking perspective to the conversation, exploring why clarity about your business, goals, and financial needs matters when building relationships with institutions that may support your growth.
WHY LA TECH WEEK?
This Lab brings the human dimension of innovation into LA Tech Week.
From digital tools that support nutrition and well-being to technologies that help us develop ideas, tell stories, and connect with resources, we will explore how innovation can serve both our personal alignment and our professional ambitions.
The gathering creates space for science, creative practice, entrepreneurship, and finance to meet—with meaningful conversation, interactive storytelling, and connections that can continue beyond the event.
THE INVITATION
Your lived experience, knowledge, creativity, and purpose hold value. Your Story Is Capital™ is an invitation to recognize that value, communicate it clearly, and connect it with people and resources that can help you grow.
What becomes possible when you align who you are, the vision you are pursuing, and the story you tell?
Join us to explore your potential, share your story, and make connections that can help bring your vision to life.
