In 2003 I studied my ass off for a fluid dynamics test. This was one of my favourite subjects. I loved fluid flow, and was really interested in the different equations and formulae we learned to use. There were late nights, early mornings prepping for the test. And, I did well. The thing is, I...

When a new technology or idea emerges, we often see four stages. These are part of the Gartner Hype cycle. Initially, we have the “trigger,” when the idea emerges and the hype starts. It catches a lot of us off guard… Then comes the peak of inflated expectations which follows soon after. Typically, we see...

Creating change might be hard sometimes, but it’s fairly simple. We can choose to take up a new habit or set of actions, create an accountability system, celebrate successes, reflect on “misses” and continue to commit.

“The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” And sometimes, the parts are whole within themselves, and are where huge opportunity lies. When elements converge, we get a bigger, more complex ecosystems. When we focus on singular elements, we get to understand their nuance, improve our rate of learning, and go “deep,” rather...

By 2019, Paul Moller had spent more than 50 years developing the Moller M400 Skycar. This was going to be micro aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, allowing anyone with a drivers license to jump in and fly by inputting speed and direction. After 40 years of development and over 100,000,000 in investment, the...

I sat down at the table and spread out my notebook, my laptop and my two pens. I always grab a table that’s slightly too big for one, as I need to spread a little… Now – I’m not here for long. Generally I have a rule that I don’t work in cafés, so I’m...
