Dr. Maral Yazarloo-Pattrick paints a life lived on her own terms, part tradition, part fearless risk-taking. Born in Iran and later pursuing study and career across borders, she tells the story of how she stitched together scholarship, corporate leadership, creative entrepreneurship and a world-spanning motorcycle journey. Blending cultural pride with the conviction that “nothing is impossible,” Maral shows how discipline, dreaming and deliberate choices dismantle barriers.Through personal anecdotes, from boardrooms and bike rides to launching a fashion label and taking stage risks, she invites listeners to name their dreams on paper, own their choices and intentionally craft a life worth telling. An ode to courage, discipline and the art of stepping out of comfort, this talk asks: what story will you choose to live?
