Podcasts about abundance the future

Chapter 1:Summary of AbundanceIn "Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think," Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler argue that despite popular belief, the world is actually getting better in many ways. They discuss how advancements in technology, specifically exponential growth in fields like artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology, can help address some of the world's biggest challenges, such as poverty, disease, and environmental degradation.The authors provide examples of innovative solutions that are already making a positive impact, such as 3D printing, solar power, and mobile technology. They also emphasize the power of collaboration and entrepreneurship in driving progress and creating abundance for all. Ultimately, Diamandis and Kotler are optimistic about the future and believe that with the right mindset and resources, we can create a world of abundance for all.Chapter 2:The Theme of Abundance"Abundance" by Peter H. Diamandis explores the concept of exponential technologies and their potential to solve humanity's biggest problems. The book presents several key plot points, character developments, and thematic ideas that contribute to its overall message:1. Plot Points:- The book opens with a discussion on the exponential growth of technology and how it has the potential to create abundant resources for all of humanity.- Diamandis introduces the concept of the "Six Ds of Exponentials" (digitization, deception, disruption, demonetization, dematerialization, and democratization) to explain how technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology are rapidly advancing.- The narrative follows various case studies and real-world examples of how these technologies are already making a positive impact, such as providing clean drinking water, affordable healthcare, and renewable energy.2. Character Development:- While there are no specific characters in the traditional sense, Diamandis himself can be considered the central figure in the book. As the author and co-founder of Singularity University, he takes readers on a journey through the possibilities of exponential technologies and inspires them to believe in a future of abundance.- Through his writing, Diamandis demonstrates a deep passion for innovation and a strong belief in the power of human creativity to solve the world's problems.3. Thematic Ideas:- One of the main thematic ideas in "Abundance" is the notion that we are living in a time of unprecedented progress and opportunity. Diamandis argues that we have the tools and resources to address global challenges like poverty, disease, and environmental degradation if we embrace the potential of exponential technologies.- The book also explores the role of entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries in driving positive change. Diamandis highlights the importance of taking risks, thinking creatively, and collaborating with others to make a meaningful impact on society.- Additionally, "Abundance" challenges readers to shift their mindset from one of scarcity and fear to one of abundance and possibility. By adopting an attitude of abundance, Diamandis suggests that we can unlock our full potential and create a brighter future for ourselves and future generations.Overall, "Abundance" serves as a thought-provoking manifesto for embracing the transformative power of technology and working together to create a more prosperous and sustainable world.Chapter 3:Meet the Writer of AbundancePeter H. Diamandis is known for his ability to convey complex ideas in a clear and accessible manner. In his book "Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think," he utilizes a straightforward and conversational language style to engage the reader and make the concepts he presents easy to understand.Diamandis also...

[3:19] I'm so pleased to present an interview with our RISKWORLD 2024 Opening Keynote Speaker, Peter Diamandis. He's a successful entrepreneur several times over, a thought leader, and a New York Times best-selling author of four books, including Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think.  [3:39] Peter Diamandis was named by Fortune as one of the world's 50 great leaders. He is also the Founder and Executive Chairman of the XPrize Foundation, which leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions. He is also the Executive Founder of Singularity University. [3:55] Peter Diamandis has a lot of experience with risk and risk professionals. He's going to be one of the standout opening keynote speakers in RISKWORLD history. We'll hear about his risk philosophy, what it will take for risk professionals to become organizational leaders, and a preview of his May 6th RISKWORLD 2024 Keynote. [4:19] Peter Diamandis, welcome to RIMScast! Peter has aerospace engineering, molecular genetics, and medical degrees from MIT and Harvard. He started numerous companies in the space world and the exponential technologies world. For the last decade, his focus has been on longevity, adding decades of health to a person's life. [5:33] Peter has written several books he's proud of, focused on optimism and abundance. Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think, Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World, The Future is Faster Than You Think, a few books on longevity, and exponential organizations. [5:59] Peter has a large venture fund, Bold Capital, which has six or seven hundred million dollars. He's investing heavily in AI and longevity. A lot of his work is helping people to change their mindset, which is one of the most important and relevant things we can talk about in the realm of risk. Peter asks you to consider your mindset. [6:31] Imagine the most extraordinary leader on the planet, whomever you consider that to be. Ask yourself what got them there. Was it the money they had, their friends, technology, or was it their mindset? Peter posits that their mindset is what enabled them to be such an extraordinary leader and success. [6:58] The next question is what mindset do you have, where does it come from, and what mindset do you need for the decade ahead in this period of extraordinary accelerating exponential change? [7:41] There are a multitude of risks on the horizon at all times. Pandemics have been and will continue to be a global risk. We have risks on that scale from asteroid impacts. We have risks that are mounting in the realm of AI. We have risks from manmade biological disruptions. [8:26] People don't take into account the accelerating countervailing forces. We live in a day when individuals can come up with new strategies and technologies to combat problems. Individuals can also cause problems. [9:20] Peter defines entrepreneurs as individuals who find juicy problems and solve them and the more entrepreneurs empowered with more powerful technologies, the more problems get knocked down. Then we are left with only first-world problems. [10:02] The fundamental problem is, humans have a hard time truly judging risk accurately. The amygdala scans all of our sensory data. If it sees something that's potentially dangerous, it puts you on “red alert.” It raises your blood pressure, narrows your pupils, and gets you ready for your fight-or-flight reaction. [10:58] We tend to be easily tipped into fight-or-flight even though the chances of real danger are orders of magnitude lower. Peter describes loss of life through the violence of warfare or crime, through time. People would think from the news that we are living in the most dangerous time in history but we are living in the most peaceful time in history. [11:46] The Middle Ages were disastrous. We romanticize the past. Today, your chance of dying from a violent act is minuscule compared to what it used to be. [12:05] RIMS plug time!

[13:14] Quick shout-out to our friends at the Spencer Educational Foundation, which funds the education of next-generation risk management and insurance talent. Spencer's scholarship program is open but coming to a close on March 1st for Ph.D. applicants. [13:29] Students and risk management and insurance faculty with interest can visit Spencered.org for additional details. [13:54] Leading risk managers who are data-driven decision-makers would make good organizational leaders. Peter believes that depending on the human “gut” is no longer viable. Gut feelings based on years of experience are irrelevant. What is important is what the data shows. [14:47] Peter states that risk managers who can gather the data, analyze it, and make data-driven decisions are going to be great leaders. [15:12] Storytelling is how we convey means and ideas. We evolved as humans to tell stories and receive stories around the campfire. As long as humans are involved in a decision process, which they will be less and less in the future, an emotional connection is going to sway an individual. Great stories connect you with individuals. [15:56] If you tell a great story and connect with a person emotionally, you can sway them pro or con, yes or no, on the decision that you want. So storytelling is fundamental. All day long, Peter seeks investments. Investments are selected by an investment committee that believes in the entrepreneur and the company and what they're doing. [16:33] When you're trying to raise money, it's super important to tell a great story about “Why me? Why this? And why now?” The data will sway at least equally, if not more but today, as flesh and blood, hearts and minds, storytelling is still critically important, whether you are selling or being sold. [17:23] Peter is the opening keynote speaker at RISKWORLD 2024 on Monday, May 6th in San Diego, California. Peter says the world of risk assessment, risk balancing, and risk-taking is more important than ever before. Peter's job is to tell stories to the audience to help them understand the role they have to play. [17:44] Doing anything big and bold in the world is risky. If we take the risk out of everything, then we're stuck, stagnant, and moving backward. There needs to be a way that entrepreneurs, companies, and even governments, can take risks that have the upside potential to transform society for the better. [18:14] Peter wants to infect people with the positivity of this increasing world of abundance. A key area Peter wants to hit is that the world is getting better; we need to take risks to transform insurance. Fire insurance should prevent fires. Health insurance should keep you healthy. Life insurance should keep you alive a lot longer. [19:17] The most exciting thing about all these exponential technologies is the reinventing of business models. How do we reinvent business models not only to financially protect against the risk but also to use technology to remove the risk, if at all possible, and change the way we think about all these areas? [20:06] Peter loves Q&A. The more questions, the better. He wants to make several points. First, he wants people to see the data that the world has been improving at an extraordinary rate in terms of increased access to food, water, healthcare, and education; with reduced child mortality rates, maternal mortality rates, and violence. [20:41] When you look at the numbers, they're awesome. The question becomes … why is the world getting better on all these different dimensions? … It's not that we're getting smarter or that we have better politicians; it's the impact of technology. Peter wants to share that to begin. The next point is to talk about what's going on in the meta trends. [21:03] Meta trends are the forces that are heading our way and changing everything. The meta trend in energy is from whale oil 100 years ago to fusion energy in the near term; looking at reinventing transport with flying cars and autonomous cars; and humanoid robots coming. [21:23] Looking at longevity and the ability to add 10 to 30 healthy years to your life, and how that will impact society. Where we are with AI today and where it's going; what are the challenges? How do we think about these challenges? Everything we've ever known is about to change. [22:01] Artificial intelligence, in its current use and capabilities and how fast it's evolving, and where it's going needs to be a conversation in your board room, at your dinner table, and with your children, everywhere! [22:28] Peter's parting words: “I think the world of risk is about to be transformed and it's going to be transformed by exponential technologies, sensors, networks, AI, robotics, all of these areas; AR, VR, and blockchain, and I want to show you what's possible today and where these technologies are taking us in the next two to five years. It's awesome!” [22:49] “It's an amazing time to be alive and I think that business models, companies, and the future of the entire risk industry are going to be refined and transformed. So that's our conversation; I'm looking forward to it!” [23:07] Thank you so much, Peter Diamandis! Looking forward to seeing you!

Hi there, I'm Judy Croon. Welcome to another episode of 'Laugh Long and Prosper' – Shelf Help with a dash of humour when appropriate. I believe that humour is one of our best coping mechanisms-especially when we are facing stress and unknown times like Covid. Today is Monday. That's means it's time for 'Just Another Mindful Monday'. I read a book recently, that made me feel just a little bit more peaceful…mindful shall we say. The book is called Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter H Diamandis. In a nutshell, this book gave me hope that the world is not going to hell in a hand basket. In fact, quite the opposite is happening. Unfortunately, fear sells. I blame a lot of this one of my old radio occupations – the news. We tend to live in a world where a lot of bad news is reported every day. Yes, bad things are happening all the time and it's sad but is there an ulterior motive behind some of those headlines? Let's face it, bad news sells. There is a reason why Fox made two billion dollars last year. As Bill Gates once said, ‘No one wants to hear small incremental good news'. However, there IS all sorts of small incremental good news happening every day -lots of good people continuously doing good things on a local and international level. Factfulness and Humankind Two of my favourite books (endorsed by Barack Obama and Bill Gates) are Factfulness and Humankind. They share the same message -the world is not going to end, just yet. However, what Abundance does is it put a little bit more specifics behind the dashboard. So, let me share some of this good news with you. If you like to catch up on all of my 'Laugh Long and Prosper' episodes, check me out Judy Croon On Spotify and/OR Soundcloud and/or Amazon and/or PlayerFm or you can go to my website www.JudyCroon.com Judy Croon is Canada's Keynote Humorist, Tedx motivational speaker, comedian and stand-up coach at Second City.

We will soon be able to meet and exceed the basic needs of every man, woman and child on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. This bold, contrarian view, backed up by exhaustive research, introduces our near-term future, where exponentially growing technologies and three other powerful forces are conspiring to better the lives of billions. An antidote to pessimism by tech entrepreneur turned philanthropist, Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler.

Understanding real estate market trends to make bigger profits during these crazy times can be a frustrating and challenging maze, where you can lose yourself and your money in a dead-end. But, in any situation, you have a negative and a positive. Concentrating on the positive is your first step out of the maze. To understand the real estate market trends for 2020 and 2021, Mike Wolf joins us today to offer his expertise. Mike is a self-made freedom lifestyle entrepreneur, seasoned investor, and international speaker. He has been investing in real estate for almost 30 years and has been a featured speaker on NBC, CBS, Yahoo Finance, and SiriusXM. But it wasn’t always profits and roses for Mike.

This episode of Flashback Friday was initially published: 9/17/2012 Jason Hartman welcomes guest co-host/listener, Brandon, from Portland, Oregon, as they discuss several things. First, a discussion of some of Jason's recent book consumption, including; Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler and Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson. Next, Jason and Brandon analyze Peter Schiff's most recent video criticizing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and QE3 (Quantitative Easing). Peter has some things right and others wrong. As Jason has pointed out in so many prior episodes, gold and silver are mediocre asset classes and shouldn't be considered 'investments' but somewhat defensive ways to save money, store wealth and keep pace with inflation.  An investment is an OFFENSIVE tool; gold and silver are only defensive tools. The real way to profit is to exploit the next housing bubble. Some of the questions covered in this episode are:  Abundance - Peter H. Diamandis & Steven Kotler 1. In what ways is the world getting better? It sure seems like there is a lot of negativity out there. 2. How will technology provide "top-tier" education to everyone on the planet, as Diamandis & Kotler mention in the book? Free - Chris Anderson 1. Chris Anderson mentions that some things can be too cheap to meter. What sort of goods is he referencing, and what is the cause of this innovation? 2. How will the big companies like Microsoft compete with the free model? 3. Who wins with "free" - businesses or consumers? 4. Will we ever get to the point where almost everything in our lives is free? Peter Schiff on QE3 1. Is the goal of QE3 to drive up asset prices? It seems to me that asset price increase in housing will only cause the illusion of wealth. 2. Why would QE3 work this time if it didn't work before?

Can Optimism Increase Your Investment Returns? By Douglas Goldstein CFP® - helping olim handle their U.S. investments from Israel Are your investment returns determined by your worldview? Are people hardwired to be pessimists? Millions of years ago, if an optimistic caveman dismissed a rustle in a bush as the wind blowing, our ancestor may have ended up as a tiger’s lunch. As a result of this early conditioning, the part of our brain called the amygdala scans everything we see and hear for negative news. But according to Dr. Peter Diamandis, the founder of the coveted X Prize for Technology Innovation (and guest on The Goldstein On Gelt Show), this bias is more of a short circuit rather than an intelligent system design. He claims that in life and investing, it pays to be an optimist, as humans pay ten times more attention to negative news than positive news. Why optimism outperforms Technology is changing our lives for the better. A cursory list of human accomplishments over the past 100 years shows the future is indeed rosy – per capita income has more than tripled, extreme poverty has declined to less than 10% of the world, and human lifespan has doubled. This is a time of abundance, also the name of Dr. Diamandis’ book, Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think. The book’s most powerful message is that technology is “resource liberating,” as it makes once inaccessible resources available and abundant. The future is optimistic investing But how does all this optimism affect your investment portfolio? Dr. Diamandis does not mention specific companies but he does mention names, including Bill Gates and Ilan Musk – technologists behind inventions that are addressing scarcity and expanding resources, and the most successful companies in the world. If you believe the world is improving to be a better place, your optimism can find expression in choosing areas of the economy, and the corresponding stocks, in which to invest.

Are you looking to impact the world? Leave behind a legacy and really do big things? Ya I thought I was too until I came across Peter Diamandis' work and more importantly frame of mind. Having now read his books and met the man behind an enormously impressive carrera I must say it really made my small challenges in business and in life seem trivial and made me look to step things up in a huge way. For some background incase you are unfamiliar with Peter's work, he is the founder or co-founder of 17 remarkably huge businesses throughout su carrera so far including: X Prize Foundation - $10 million prizes and challenges for teams who solves some of worlds biggest problems Planetary Resources - Preparing to mine asteroids in space Human Longevity - a company mapping the human genome and making it affordable and accessible to do in hopes of extender average human life by at least 30 or 40 years Singularity University - "educate, inspire and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies to address humanity’s grand challenges." ...just to name a few... Oh and if that wasn't enough he is also a New York Times Best Selling co-author of Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think and now its prequel BOLD: How To Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World both of which are absolutely incredible books which will surely change your psyche on the state of the world and you're ability to affect it. Get BOLD for FREE with an Audible.com FREE trial Bold really is a how to guide on thinking big and actually putting your big vision dreams out there and making them happen. I was personally pleasantly surprised at how much he truly gives away and dives into the specifics of everything from crowdfunding to the idea that to become a billionaire, solve a billion person problem. I honestly have not met someone ever in my life who thinks bigger and bolder than Peter and I have to say - he is a genius. I don't say this to ass kiss or the same time what he has done all boils down to a few key elements none of which are just good fortune. Being bold is not easy but for years I had a hunch ese en dato if we got over our fears of failure or of exclaiming the "ridiculous" and actually striving for it that we would actually have more people join us and make it happen than if we were just operating in our comfort zone or not too far outside of it. I believe and am now beginning to experience how the more bold of a mission I embark on the more likely I am to succeed despite seemingly all rational logic. Peter is the shining example of such and in this episode we discuss everything from his childhood aspirations and superheroes - to what he means by being bold and some advice on how you can do it too. I highly recommend you read the book or listen to it on audible and visit his website for more info: http://www.boldbook.com Get BOLD for FREE with an Audible.com FREE trial

If we want to do a thing that is really worth doing, we must mentally grow until we are that thing which we want to see made flesh. This may take time, but we should be glad to use all of the time necessary to reach the desired outcome. -- Ernest Holmes Inspired by the book Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler, Dr. Patrick speaks about the power of abundance. Abundance is our future. We will invent, innovate, and create ways to solve challenges that loom over us. Our news sources, unfortunately, sell us primarily negative stories. We often fall into their trap of negativity. But we have the ability to knock down our problems. In fact, we are living in the most peaceful time ever in human history. Abundance is not about creating a world of luxury---it is about creating a world of possibility. We can take that which is scarce and make it abundant. We must increase our ability to express our love for one another, openly and freely. We can learn to socially engage as clear ambassadors of unconditional love. And we need to adopt an abundance mindset. We must think, "All our needs are met. Tomorrow all our needs will be met also." We can give our money to causes, we can give our money to people, but we can also give our money to magic. This gets us in the flow. It activates the law of cause and effect and the abundance that It knows.

The future is better than you think, and there is great evidence to back that up. Philip Frey joins me in this episode to review the best seller from Peter Diamandis, Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think, which dives deep into this topic. Does it improve your life to have an outlook of abundance, rather than on outlook of scarcity? As human longevity expands, just how old can we expect to live? What is dematerialization, and why is it important? Are free markets leading to innovation and the enrichment of the human race? What skills will be important to have in a world that is changing at an exponential rate? We discuss all of this and more! You won't want to miss it!
