Chae, Author of The Dangerous Book of Life)▪ A practical Notion + AI workflow you can install the next day (Mini Nayak & Josiah Forgath, Notion Ambassador)▪ A small circle of four peers you'll actually want to keep in touch with▪ A letter from yourself, mailed to your door on December 22Full Schedule1:00 PM — Welcome & Opening1:10 PM — Session 1: Prompt as Mirror with Divya Pai2:00 PM — Session 2: Designing Your Own Pace with Christiana S.

It taught us how to brush our teeth, how to get along with friends, and how to understand care, empathy, and communication. These everyday lessons quietly accumulated, becoming the invisible references that shaped how we live.POPOPO begins from this exact insight.Even as adults, we still need references for how to live.At the heart of this journey is POPOPO Magazine.POPOPO Magazine started with a specific and grounded question:“What is the potential of a mother?”But this was never just about a role. It was about looking beyond socially assigned identities and illuminating the inherent uniqueness and agency of each individual.Through works such as 'Letters to Library', an essay picture book featuring stories of marriage migrant women, and 'A Guide for Mothers Who Want to Keep Their Work', POPOPO has continuously asked a deeper question—not “Who have you been?” but “What are you capable of becoming?”This content has expanded far beyond Korea.POPOPO Magazine is distributed across the United States, Europe, and Asia, recognized as an outstanding independent magazine by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and archived in the Library of Congress.This is not just a publishing achievement—it demonstrates that stories rooted in individual narratives can resonate on a global scale.But POPOPO does not stop at content.While most publications for caregivers focus on parenting tips or consumption, POPOPO Magazine centers on the 'sustainable growth of the caregiver as an individual'. Through both online and offline ritual-based programs involving participants from over 12 countries, POPOPO has designed experiences that turn one-time inspiration into continuous, accumulative growth. In doing so, it has naturally evolved into a community—an ecosystem that archives and connects the stories of people in transformation.This direction is deeply tied to broader societal challenges.As the world moves beyond declining birth rates into an era of aging populations, 'sustainable growth' is no longer a personal concern—it is a collective necessity. POPOPO focuses on “family” as the most fundamental social unit and “care” as a central theme, building a diverse archive of life references that foster empathy and understanding. Based on this foundation, it has taken a step further by initiating the “Future Policy Forum on Low Birth Rates,” expanding its impact from content into discourse and policy.At the same time, POPOPO continues to explore the future of content.At CES 2024, POPOPO introduced a Customized AI Video Book, combining personal narratives with AI-generated video and imagery. This is not merely a technological experiment—it represents a structural shift in how individual stories can become scalable, personalized content assets.Since its founding in 2019, POPOPO has steadily expanded its scope—from social contribution programs and preliminary social enterprise certification to global book fairs, a Silicon Valley-based lifestyle platform, and community-driven projects in cities like New York and Montreal.Its presence on Amazon, participation in the Frankfurt Book Fair, CES exhibitions, and exports to seven countries all point to one thing: this is not a local initiative, but a globally scalable model.Ultimately, POPOPO and POPOPO Magazine come back to one essential question:How much of your potential is still undiscovered?And POPOPO is building a system to answer it—starting from content, expanding into community, and materializing into programs and technology that shape real lives.This is what POPOPO does.Not just discovering potential, but designing it into something that can truly exist, grow, and sustain." } ] } ] ```
