In this talk, Macy Baxi explores how feeling invisible is often rooted in our own self-perception and lack of communication skills. By engaging in 100 intentional conversations, young adults can transform their ability to communicate, build stronger relationships, and assert their presence in personal and professional settings. Through personal stories and practical advice, Macy shares how active engagement, self-awareness, and repetition can lead to meaningful connections and personal growth. At years old, Macy Baxi launched her groundbreaking podcast, “What Would You Say to Your Younger Self?”

In 2023, she introduced another podcast, “Why I Love Flagler County,” which spotlights over 150 local business owners, highlights the vibrant community and entrepreneurial spirit, promotes local gems, and generates a sense of unity and pride.

Macy is writing a book titled “7 Critical Career Skills They Don’t Teach in School.” Aimed at bridging the gap between traditional education and real-world skills, she hopes to provide an invaluable resource for parents and children.

Macy’s journey from a curious teenager to a respected podcaster and author is a testament to her passion, dedication, and powerful influence in creating a space for meaningful conversations. These feats speak to her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and experience and remind her of the impact young voices can have on the world.
