Playful Sincerity Talks
Six Talks. Deep Conversations. Ideas that Help the World.
Playful Sincerity Talks: We invite you to experience a curated series of six short talks from discipline-agnostic visionaries—founders, artists, and scientists—who are solving world problems with joy. Curated to inspire conversation and to playfully push the frontier of multidisciplinary innovation.
How’s it gonna go?
The Input (60 Mins): Six speakers present sincere, structural contributions to the world, delivered with playful audacity. No fluff. Just raw, helpful truth.
The Integration (60 Mins): The room transforms. Each speaker’s topic becomes a physical "node" in the room. You freely float between these conversation hubs to deep-dive, debate, and connect with the speakers and fellow builders. Come to learn the scaffold. Stay to build the network.

Alexandra Ciobanu:
Alexandra is a Senior Business Analyst at Ubisoft, where she has just marked 10 years of translating complex ideas into working systems - bridging people, technology, and business needs.
For the past three years, she extended the journey of “acting as a bridge” – also between indigenous voices and the western world- by supporting nonprofit organizations that recognize Indigenous wisdom is threatened with extinction and are working to support the people who carry it so that it can be preserved and carried forward.
She is committed to safeguarding indigenous wisdom by planting and bridging the worlds of indigenous and Western cultures. Her mission is to protect the Amazonian rainforest while honoring and preserving the rich traditions of the Yawanawá people through her visionary projects.
Liz Cahill:
Liz Cahill is a community builder, poet and artist tirelessly scheming to make the Bay Area arts ecosystem more accessible, and sustainable — and to get artists paid.
She is the Executive Director and co-founder of Decentered Arts, a San Francisco–based arts nonprofit building resilient community through art of all mediums. She is the creator and steward of Eventracker, a crowd-sourced, AI-enabled community calendar for Bay Area arts events, and she also administers two Buy Nothing Facebook groups totaling more than 130,000 members.
Her work is rooted in the belief that climate collapse, social polarization, income inequality and late-stage capitalism are deeply intertwined crises and that strengthening grassroots community is one of the most effective responses. Liz uses the arts as a Trojan horse to bring people together across superficial divides, fostering collaboration, trust, and shared purpose.
As an artist, she works with Piles Collective, transforming trash into fine art. Her first poetry book Garbage Age Lady is forthcoming on Decentered press. In her free time, Liz can often be found biking around San Francisco, exploring new parks, and quiet side streets.
Wisdom Happy:
Founding Steward of Playful Sincerity, Wisdom is a long time systems thinker and solutions designer, who cares deeply about contributing to improve the world in every way that he can while enjoying it along the way. His main projects are The Universal Language Project and The Unified Theory of Gravitationalism. Wisdom develops solutions for any problem he can see across disciplines from engineering to emotional intelligence. He loves to find deep patterns, execute in a real way and develop meaningful, playful relationships.
