Hi peeps, writing from the Abundance 360 conference +abundance360. This is a conference for Entrepreneurs "passionate about generating extraordinary wealth while creating a world of abundance". Essentially, future focused decision makers and dreamers with exponential growth and change in mind.
My mind has exploded about two or three times just in the first module. (Thank you Roger James Hamilton for telling me I should come to this event) I totally thought I would be intimidated by these giants of industry and a bit reluctant to "network" but instead, found everyone here to be lovely, warm and totally like us: inspired by the future and excited about improving their businesses and taking life to the next level!!!
This was this morning's activity with Peter Diamandis that blew my mind: "Identify your 10x problem and its solution - and write it down like it's a science fiction story. What's the evidence that it's possible in the next decade?".
My big a-ha is that my businesses (ultimately) have all be about making healthcare sustainable in the face of massive and rapid technological change.
The example would be the vision of taking the 1970s reality of a solo 2 tonne computer and having the science fiction story of computers being small enough to fit into a watch and talk to other devices (and yet, here we are...).
In a discussion with another health entrepreneur, though, we had the realisation that it wasn't the science fiction writers that (arguably) created the most value per-say, but the engineers and business decision-makers that made the hard calls and thought creatively to step humanity in smaller bounds towards that vision. It took guts, determination, self-belief, lateral thinking, funding, community engagement and feedback. The gentleman next to me reflected on health as an orchestra, with a conductor and a composer and the various musicians doing their part.
So, not unlike all movements, or great opera of work: we've got to keep that momentum, that energy of a compelling future and take those shuffling steps and move them into single bounds.
Fail forward, keep moving forward, ever forward.

- What would the healthcare system look like if we lived to 150?
- What would we as individuals have to do differently?
