I have a dream for this place we called Earth. Hell I even have a dream for us beyond Earth.

I believe humankind is at a crucial point in our history. Before us lies the possibility of a more connected and abundant world, where our best values of compassion and unity shine. Yet the world as it’s operating right now is far from that vision.

Simply put, our systems for running the world, and our models for understanding it need a massive upgrade – especially when you consider that:

And in the midst of this, we’re about to be hit by massive exponential growth in technology. From AI, to robotics, to extended lifespans and the singularity – we as a species are unprepared.

Nelson Mandela said, “if you want to change the world, change education.”

This means a lot to me, coming from a family of educators, and where education was one of the credos growing up.

This is my biggest focus.

A new type of education system that can be deployed across nations, schools, businesses and large populations that allows us to reach our next level as a species.

With the advancement of AI, human education will inevitably evolve. It will be less about facts and learning, and more about creativity and transformation. 20 years from now the world will be very different. Robots and AI will take over most jobs. Working hours will drop to 15 hours a week. And with Universal Basic Income – work will essentially be optional.

In that world, I believe that the No. 1 thing we’ll be doing with our abundance of spare time is personal growth. Productivity is no longer just what you build — YOU become the product. Your soul, your body, your mind become the focus of your human drive to build, create and invent. And we are striving to be the company that provides the best tools for this future.

This is why education is key.

But this goes far beyond the traditional mode of education. We’re building some of the world’s most cutting-edge education technology and methodologies, and deploying them in national schooling systems, Fortune 500 companies and direct to consumers.

I dream of creating and partnering with great companies, organizations and men and women to transform education. Our goal is to create the biggest rise in human consciousness our species has ever experienced. And fundamentally upgrade the human experience.

Apart from evolving our education, and our university and schooling systems, I believe it’s vital that we also pay attention to the other systems that shape our living experience, including:

And finally unifying all the people of the world under a Flag for Planet Earth. A flag that represents a form of ‘memetic inoculation’ against nationalism and short-term business interest that sacrifices the environment.

These pressing global issues are challenging to tackle because our world is driven by business need. And saving the world is often not seen as a viable business model.

Except that we found a viable way.

I believe that when we have the greatest minds of business, not-for-profits, engineers, writers, artists working full time on these challenges then they will be solved. Some of the people doing this are Minvalley and XPrize Foundation.

To transform the planet, we need to change the mindset of individuals – one by one. A billion lives would create the necessary tipping point we need.

We’ve given ourselves till 2050 to make this happen.

We’re not here to win awards, do an IPO or report to any investors. We prefer to be singularly obsessed with transforming our species and saving our planet.

Consciousness ripples. Each person we touch, goes on to touch another. The end goal is 1 billion users on all our various connected platforms by 2050. It’s a tough mission, but we’re making solid progress.

If this mission resonates with you, read on to discover the various projects my team and I are currently working on.
