Carol Paiffer traz à tona um retrato incômodo do Brasil: um país marcado por dependências emocionais, financeiras e culturais que atravessam famílias e gerações. Do endividamento ao medo de arriscar, esses padrões aprisionam e alimentam a descrença em nosso próprio potencial. Mas Carol nos mostra que existe um caminho, a educação. Educar é libertar, é transformar crenças limitantes em construtivas e romper a síndrome do vira-lata que tanto nos trava. Sua fala é um convite para enxergar o Brasil não como problema, mas como solução. Carol é reconhecida por sua expertise nos mercados financeiros, sendo investidora no programa Shark Tank Brasil, com papel ativo no apoio a empreendedores, somando mais de 60 investidos em todas as temporadas. Também é socia fundadora do grupo Êxito e CEO da Atom Educacional, única empresa de educação financeira listada na B3.

- 11:42When Fear Steals Hope | Annette Hines | TEDxForbesParkWhen her daughter Elizabeth was born at 29 weeks with mitochondrial disease, Annette Hines learned firsthand how fear can paralyze us—leading to missed opportunities, poor decisions, and stolen hope in a world of genuine scarcity. Through seventeen precious years of caregiving, Elizabeth became her greatest teacher, showing her the transformative difference between living with a scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset, even as she faced a world where belonging always required someone's special effort rather than being automatically expected. Now, twelve years after Elizabeth's passing, Annette reveals how we can act despite our fears, build community, and create a world where the next Elizabeth won't spend her life fighting for basic belonging—because hope, not fear, is what makes us stronger together. Attorney, mother, author, advocate, and host of Parenting Impossible - The Special Needs Survival Podcast, knows firsthand just how complex and overwhelming the legal systems and processes are for parents of children with special needs. Amidst the grief of losing her beloved Elizabeth, Annette realized that life was giving her a “second chance” to use her extensive legal expertise to help families who are going through the same challenges she faced. She authored her life story of her and Elizabeth’s powerful journey of hope in her memoir, Butterflies and Second Chances.
