The theme of his speech, "Who else could you become?" focused on personal transformation and the search for new opportunities after changing professional activities. Dmitry shared his experience of rethinking his career after the COVID-19 pandemic, when he left his job as an illusionist and began engaging in entrepreneurship.
According to Kim, many people become too attached to their profession or role, not realizing that they can express themselves in various fields. He emphasized the importance of experimentation and the development of new skills in his speech.
