Just a quick share today, three people in particular who I have had the pleasure of spending time with lately and who have been up to remarkable things:
Peter Diamandis
One of his many TED videos
Peter Developed the organization XPRIZE, which has inspired teams to develop private aircraft travel to outer space (multiple successes!), cars with 100mpg (just announced the winner last week), human GNOME mapping innovations: “To stimulate breakthrough innovation in the field of genomic sequencing, the X PRIZE Foundation has launched a global competition with a $10 million prize for the winner of the Archon Genomics X PRIZE”. He talks about innovations in Space Exploration, competitiveness, creativity, employee engagement, human genome research among many other industries - anything is possible
Robert Tercek
Robert Tercek is one of the world’s most prolific creators of interactive content. He has created breakthrough entertainment experiences on every digital platform, including satellite television, game consoles, broadband Internet, interactive television and mobile networks. His expertise spans television, telecommunications and software. More information to follow (will edit this post shortly and insert links for you)
Leroy Chiao
Leroy is a former astronaut and commander of the International Space Station-- who spent a record 229 days in space. He speaks five language, is very intelligent but he has a nice gentle and personable demeanor. .
His presentation is really a great personal story with a global view of the world due to his extensive international experience, working in Russia for 3 years and living on the Space Station for 6 months. He has hands-on experience as a leader in one of the most high pressure and exacting fields known to man, managing a diverse team, and constantly evaluating and re-evaluating potentially life or death implications of his actions for that team.
Who are some of your favorite innovation speakers out there?
