The Brilliant Minds summit is a global leadership conference held in Stockholm, Sweden, housing some of the "edgiest" minds in music, art, and technology. The summit was founded by Ash Pournouri and Daniel Ek in 2015 and quickly grew into a hub for creatives and free-thinkers from all around the globe including the likes of Pharrell and Jeff Koons. It will be held from the 7th to the 8th of June and will focus on the "Fenomen" (Swedish for "phenomenon" - a leader against all odds, a creative solution or person that exists even though it goes against all common logic that it does) in three areas - health, leadership, and education.
This year's speakers include Anna Malmhake (chairman and CEO of the Absolut Company) and Steve Stoute (founder and CEO of United Masters) to name a few. Anna has been CEO since 2016 and has seen the Absolut grow and be part of a creative revolution in the culture. Among the artists at the conference is Khuli Chana who will be sharing the stage with Ms Malmhake to talk about their views on leadership, creativity, and progressive thinking.
While many people know Khuli as a rapper and well, the "MotswakOriginator," not enough know that his brand has evolved way beyond the music. While at times spending a fraction of his hours being lost in time, Khuli's hard work and talent have expanded to various creative domains such as him running a record label/entertainment company (MyThrone Records) which allows him to groom young creatives. He's also one of the founders of the annual Maftown Heights event, and he just added the One Source Live Festival in partnership with Absolut to his belt. Khuli shared his excitement at the opportunity and how making music got him to travel the world and basically got him everything ae batlang. He also expressed that he had "something big coming up" and we can't wait to follow the story, RHAA!
