As the days grow shorter and the wind is colder, nearly every culture has a holiday that celebrates light; over flames, many of us will tell other our stories this season. These tales can foster empathy—and, some experts hope, so can new technologies.

At the inaugural Maverick Live Summit in Los Angeles, teens took the stage to celebrate the new app’s intent to empower young girls to use their voices—and shared honest stories about their paths to incredible accomplishments. From being on “Grown-ish” to being the first African-American woman ever to qualify for a U.S. Olympic speed skating team, the passionate young women who gathered in Los Angeles for the summit showed the crowd of teens that anything is possible and encouraged them to be...

I have been told that I am too sensitive or too emotional. I’ve been told that I use too many capital letters. I have been told repeatedly that my emails scared someone, that I should tone it down to appear professional. (I was even named “Most Likely to Clap Her Hands for No Reason” in my high school yearbook.)

It’s true: I have always been enthusiastic and had more obvious feelings than others in a room. That’s why I loved reading The Feminine Revolution: 21 Ways to Ignite the Power of Your...

Dr. Stephen Petersen, head of conservation and research at Leatherdale International Polar Bear Conservation Centre, has only one word of advice for the environmentally conscious this week: “Vote.”

The Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, Canada, which currently houses 10 polar bears, is home to the Centre where Petersen helps polar bear cubs orphaned in the wild adjust to life in the zoo, where they have far greater chances of survival.

On the same campus, visitors can explore the Journey to Ch...

Heli-skiing is extreme—but everyone has to start somewhere. Here are five destinations, from Jackson Hole to the French Alps, where skiers can take it to the next level with sky-high descents suited to first-timers.

While watching the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang on television, I wondered how the athletes got started and how they had the perseverance to train long and hard enough to compete for their country. In Park City, Utah, some of my questions were answered by a teenage competitor.
Some might imagine that a person with spina bifida might not be top at her sport, sailing downhill at high speeds and winning medals.
But they would be wrong.
I had the honor to ski with 14-year-old Saylor O’Brien, ...

In his new book, Rise and Grind, Daymond John reveals how to become a better entrepreneur.

The television show, Shark Tank, has been teaching America about business. I have been on a mission to read the books by all of the “Sharks.” Daymond John, CEO and president of the Shark Group, recently spoke at Live Talks Los Angeles about his new book, Rise and Grind, which is about how to be a better entrepreneur.

My favorite part of his conversation was when he talked personally about his journey. O...

Growing up, I watched skiers at Park City Mountain glide down the slopes on monoskis and with bright orange bibs that said "visually impaired." I was a terrified and athletically challenged skier as a child and felt inspired by the fact that people who spent their days in wheelchairs, or who couldn't see, could do this sport. If they weren't giving up, I was going to figure it out.
Enter National Ability Center Instructor Patricia Stokes, who explained to me that we all need adaptions to ski....

Seventy five years ago, the Battle of Guadalcanal changed the course of World War II in the South Pacific. According to the National World War II Museum statistics, the Solomon Islands Campaign cost the Allies approximately 7,100 men, 29 ships and 615 aircraft. The Japanese lost 31,000 men, 38 ships and 683 aircraft. After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Japanese Imperial Navy wanted a buffer against attack from the United States and its Allies, and began occupying islands throughout the Pacific Ocean.
