Course overview

This is quantum growth — structured, accelerated, and real.

Once upon a time, not a thing in the world terrified me the way that public speaking did.


And so my journey began: one stumbling speaking engagement after another, I kept going — shaking, anxious, and oddly relentless. Every repetition was… a battle.


Until one day, something clicked into place. It wasn't just easier—it was exhilarating. And most shocking of all, I loved it.


Years later, I published a book and keynoted at Harvard. A random stroke of luck, perhaps a fortunate happening after all the hustle, and most certainly a fluke—or so I thought.


Another random occurrence.


This time, I found myself speaking at the World Economic Forum.


Slowly, it started to dawn on me that perhaps this wasn't just a series of happy accidents — that "luck" was happening far too often for that to be the culprit.


I discovered a rhythm beneath the surface, almost a familiar feeling that would kick in — just as the impossible began to feel inevitable.


And I could see what felt like a miracle unravel before my very own eyes.


More than anything, I realized there was a pattern. And that it was repeatable.


What happened from there is something I could only have described as a downright unraveling of how I believed the world worked


And here’s what’s seldom spoken aloud: you know exactly what I’m talking about, because you’ve experienced this too


You’ve felt it — in those rare, electric moments when time melted away. 


When every move felt effortless. When it seemed as if the next step unfolded before you, almost without thinking


When the idea landed fully formed.


This isn’t about running after another milestone, hoping it will finally be enough.


It's about becoming the person who can hold more — powerfully, creatively, and on your own terms.


The real power is tapping into your authenticity and returning home to the rhythm that lives inside of you, ready to be unleashed. 


It's a remembering, not a reinvention.


We often treat creativity and high performance like mysteries - sparks that flash and disappear before we can catch them.


But the truth is simpler.


Flow isn’t luck—it’s rhythmic. Creativity isn’t chaotic—it’s a craft. And genius doesn’t emerge fully formed—it’s raw, unshaped. It’s something you refine into a living masterpiece.


Tesla spoke of entire inventions appearing before him - fully formed, in intricate, perfect detail.


And he didn't just stumble into flashes of genius.


He trained the conditions under which genius could emerge. He crafted a mental environment so precise that visions would arrive—full, detailed, inevitable—before he touched a tool.


Leonardo Da Vinci lived between two realities — the world as it was, and the world as it could be.


Michelangelo believed his sculptures already existed inside the stone — his work was simply to reveal what was already there.


This is where your real work begins.


Because more than anything, Built To Change The World is a recognition


It’s the acknowledgement you’ve been craving, for the version of you hidden just beneath the surface. 


This is the place where that shift happens.


Not with more noise. Not with more strategy. But with a system that anchors your genius into something that moves, breathes, and builds impact at scale.


Most programs teach you how to achieve more, do more. 


This one creates the space for you to learn how to hold the full weight of who you already are — and everything you came here to do.


You've brushed against your own genius — just enough to know it's real. Now it's time to build the system that lets you stay there — and create from it at the highest level.


You'll master the tools and frameworks that history's greatest minds used to turn vision into reality — from visualization and mental models to science-based physiological tools to make high-performance flow states accessible on demand


You'll learn to move with power, presence, and influence — and unlock the mindsets that transform capital and entrepreneurship into forces for changing the world.


Everything around you was once just an idea — no more real than the ones you're holding now. It all started as something unseen — a spark, a whisper, a knowing.


A thought brought to life


When you master your own creative rhythm, you don't just follow the future — you create it.


The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark” - Michelangelo


This is YOU, coming home to a version of yourself the world hasn't seen yet.


Some moments quietly change everything.


This is one of them.


Moments like this don’t wait forever.


Trust the part of you that already knows it's time.


The only question is — will you take that step forward?

Stop waiting for inspiration to strike. Learn how to trigger high-performance on demand using a neuroscience-backed physiological toolkit.

WEEK 5) Execution Power: A Playbook For Turning Ideas Into Impact

Harvard University ("How Women Can Create World-Changing Companies")

Startup World Cup ("Global Startup Ecosystems"), Women's Venture Summit, Texas Venture Gala ("Global Family Office Trends") and several others


Aroojina’s background is marked by her hands-on experience in venture building, having worked with over 25 ventures, including a handful that she founded. She designed a boutique venture studio in San Francisco and engaged in a number of ecosystem builder roles, which helped her develop her creative problem solving abilities and design thinking capacity.


Driven by her conviction in the transformative power of finance and entrepreneurship to create positive change, Aroojina's journey naturally evolved into an exploration of an inter-asset class approach to designing for impact.


She now serves as the Founder and Executive Director of The Nature Inspired Finance Initiative (NIFI), an organization committed to promoting an interdisciplinary approach to impact — for example, drawing on the principles of nature to design financing mechanisms for climate (biomimicry in finance — bringing nature to finance, as we bring finance to nature). NIFI supports impact-oriented family offices globally, engages in project advisory for designing blended finance funds for impact, and advocates for sustainable finance on a global stage.


An adventurer at heart, Aroojina embraces slow travel and living abroad seasonally, having immersed herself in diverse cultures across Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Sarajevo, Australia, San Francisco, Austin, and Singapore. Her deep curiosity about humanity has led her to form meaningful connections with individuals from every corner of society—from those facing extreme poverty, to key figures in international finance and governance, indigenous communities, and everything in between. This journey has shaped her profound understanding of the human experience.
