Johansson’s delivery is a bit scattered and confusing, but he’s enthusiastic and raises salient points. He cites examples of great ideas brought to completion, including the “burqini” (a burqa-type swimsuit), Muhammad Yunus’s Grameen Bank and the ice hotel tourist attraction in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden.
