Praying for a Miracle

Adam — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:28:16 +0000

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT -

It’s all about energy. You want to rule the 21st century? Create clean energy. Here’s to hoping that a philanthropist does it ahead of a corporation – otherwise the world’s poor are in trouble.

I am a big fan of the metrics related philanthropy that Bill Gates has fostered. Running philanthropy like a business. I like how there are more smart people than ever committed to creating change. Big dollars hopefully followed by big changes.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT -

Expectations are a tricky thing. For some they can be crushing – for others they can inspire. And for a select few – it comes with the territory.

Myron Rolle embraces his potential and embodies something that has been lost in our age of hyper specialized division of labor- renaissance.

Make your own expectations.

The most popular freshman class at Harvard is ‘Positive Psychology’ and the study of happiness is a cultural trend that can offer key insights into new modes of training, development and management. People always thought happiness was happenstance – but in fact there are significant agreed upon maxims that are standard for most happiness.

Health and Happiness

Adam — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:04:53 +0000

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT -

Jay Parkinson is leading the charge in re-imaging health under the 21^st century paradigm.

His new company, Future Well, will be a place to explore how to be healthy and happy. Spending your hard earned money on your health should not be a take it or leave it proposition.

Why are we so scared of innovation in the health field?

Human Capital

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT-

It does not matter what your group’s motivation is.

If you gather a committed number of 1,000 people or greater you hold tremendous human capital.

Then you can use that group to crowd source solutions, products, ideas, experiences. Gather a group and more or less you have a business or at least the capital to tackle somethin
