We are all watching our screens (all the time) and have created our wisdom around that source of information. What if the very advice you have grown up hearing — about success, personal branding, perfection, and passion — is what’s holding you back? In this compelling TEDx, KKB (K.K. Bhagchandani), challenges the modern myths that dominate our thinking. From “Just chase your passion” to “Keep everything perfect” to “Build your personal brand and everything will follow,” he breaks down the narratives that have quietly misled everyone and especially the newer generations. There are 3 stories to bust these 3 myths of modern world. With storytelling, relevant visuals, and powerful analogies — like the farmer who lost his farm to branding or the treasure hunt metaphor for career clarity — KKB offers a refreshing path: for building credibility, embrace imperfection, and pursue purposeful excellence. Highlights include:  Why personal brand without substance is a trap.  How perfectionism creates burnout  The truth behind chasing passion vs. building competence  A powerful metaphor using Kintsugi — the Japanese art of embracing flaws.  Questions to find what truly gives your work meaning. Whether you’re a student, young professional, or someone at a crossroads — this talk will shift how you think, work, and grow.
