You Are Enough: The Courage to Feel Complete
What if success isn’t about doing more but finally feeling enough?
Blake Mycoskie – entrepreneur, philanthropist, author, and founder of TOMS – joins us for an unfiltered conversation about what happens when chasing achievement stops working.
After building a $600M brand and giving away millions of shoes, Blake hit a wall that success couldn’t fix. What followed was a personal reckoning and a complete rewrite of what it means to live a meaningful life.
In this candid live session with MEA CEO Derek Gehl, Blake shares the hard-won lessons behind his shift from relentless striving to grounded self-worth. You’ll hear how he helps other high performers step off the hamster wheel and reconnect with who they are beyond the résumé.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, Is this it?, this conversation is for you.

Pass It On: Mentor Young Innovators Building a Better Future
May 18, 2026
8:00 AM PT
11:00 AM ET
In a village in Sub-Saharan Africa, a young entrepreneur is building a smokeless cookstove to protect maternal and child health. In another, someone’s engineering a water purification system from scratch. In a third, a fellow is rethinking food packaging to cut waste.
These are real ventures being built right now by fellows at beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship – a global program for eco-innovators aged 16 to 28. MEA co-founder and event host Jeff Hamaoui has spent the past year mentoring a cohort of them.
Right now beVisioneers is looking for more mentors.
Join Jeff and beVisioneers’ Seán Gallen and Coralie Jacquot for a conversation about what mentoring through this program actually looks like — and what it might offer the work you take on next.
They’ll cover:• What beVisioneers is, who the fellows are, and what they’re building
• How the mentorship model works – the time commitment, the format, and the support mentors receive
• Why decades of “ordinary” career experience is exactly what these young founders need
• What Jeff has learned (and unlearned) coaching his Rafiki cohort of young innovators this past year
• How to apply, and what to expect once you do
Several of Jeff’s mentees will join us to share what this relationship has meant for their ventures and their communities.
If you’ve spent your career building something and you’re ready to put that experience to work somewhere it’ll matter, this hour is for you.
