Biotech CEO (and chaos enthusiast) Dr. Emil Kakkis breaks down how creative thinking has fueled his entire career – from developing first-ever treatments for rare diseases to founding two nonprofits that champion youth creativity and scientific breakthroughs.

In this conversation,  he makes the case for planned chaos, curiosity as a strategy, and why sometimes the best ideas start as “wrong.”

Watch the full convo to hear how divergent thinking shows up in real-world problem-solving, and why the most effective teams are built like mosaics: a mix of minds, perspectives, and beautifully unmatchable talents.
