My experience at Impact Hub Ticino fed my need for inspiration and stimulation. I treasure the positive and purposeful energy I breathed, the passion and values of the people I met, the many insights read, heard, seen and picked up with every sense, including the sixth. Like a precious pearl, IHT reminds me that every day the only thing you need "to begin, is to begin." The rest will follow.
