The latest remarkable stats about internet penetration, social media usage and the breakdown of traditional media models - as well as the possibility for innovation in media through big ideas and taking them into multiple platforms with new revenues streams, freeing creatives from the control of the gatekeepers
Presentation given at launch of Wisdompreneurs (Wisdom 2.0) community in San Francisco, Feb 2016 on the unique history of how business evolved into share-holder / casino capitalism from a core Christian / Western idea of the individual Self. Then we look at the changes in Operating System (O.S.) of human evolution and what the networked economy means for hierarchical / market-based corporations. We finish by looking at a potential paradigm shift in business when we place love / unity not separation at the heart of the concept of enterprise / business and look at examples (from the Quakers to B Corps) that show this to be a viable possibility.
Keynote for Conscious Life Expo introducing a revolutionary new framework that drives breakthroughs towards thriving in any human system. It's a comprehensive integration of science and wisdom focused on encouraging transformational change.

In 2017, we believe that in order to succeed, we’re going to have to find ways to bring together multiple tracks in technology and innovation before trying to envisage what comes next when they start interacting with each other and multiplying their effects, rather than focusing on progress in isolation.
In short: to Multiply & Conquer!
