The Incredible Joy of Being Small | Katie Biber | TEDxSFUHS Youth

Students are often told they are destined to change the world, and that expectation can feel crushing. In this TEDxSFUHS Youth talk, Katie Biber, Chief Legal Officer at Paradigm, argues for letting that pressure go. She suggests that a good life and real impact come from millions of small daily moments rather than a few big ones. Biber's background includes work as Chief Legal Officer at Brex, General Counsel at Anchorage, an early lawyer role at Airbnb, and earlier work as a political and election lawyer. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event.

• Pressure on students to change the world
• Why small daily moments can matter
• Speaker's background in legal and crypto industries

Katie makes the case for letting it go: a good life and real impact come from millions of small daily moments, not a few big ones.

She was also an early lawyer at Airbnb, where she managed US regulatory and litigation issues. Earlier in her career, Katie worked as a political and election lawyer, representing candidates, political party committees, and nonprofit groups in high-stakes enforcement actions, congressional investigations, and litigation.
