What if the solution to food insecurity is technology? In today's conversation, host Ari Kaplan sits down with Mick Ebeling, Founder, and CEO of Not Impossible Labs, and Sanjay Srivastava, Chief Digital Officer of Genpact, to discuss how technological innovation is helping solve food insecurity amongst at-risk populations. They both have diverse experience and are veterans of the business and technology worlds, which has afforded them the skills and knowledge to create and drive their current project, Bento. Using existing tech Mick and Sanjay created Bento, software that is improving health one text message at a time. Bento connects marginalized and under-resourced people with nutritious, stigma-free meals from nearby restaurants and grocery stores. It was created by Not Impossible Labs, a ragtag team of misfits, scientists, and geniuses using innovation to help change the world around them. Although Mick knows the people and concept end of the business and how to drive broader outcomes, he needed help with the technology and innovation end, which is where Sanjay comes in. Sanjay is well versed in data, technology, and AI, skills much needed to make Mick's idea happen. Together, they have created a platform that uses existing infrastructure to help people get a fundamental resource for survival; food!The role of AI in Bento is essential, but it may not be what you think. Generally, when people think of artificial intelligence they think of self-driving cars or large data processing algorithms however, it does not have to operate on such a large scale. As Sanjay explains in the interview, Bento uses a ‘simple' AI that helps them collect the data they need in order to drive the associated solutions. Although on a smaller scale, this component is essential to the underlying technology of Bento.The takeaway message from this conversation is the power of combining data, technology, and people to innovate and solve big problems in society. It is the belief of both guests that being able to orchestrate people, processes, data, and technology in a synchronized fashion is what drives real change in our societies. Tune in to learn more about the superpower of people and technology with true innovators that are making real change.Key Points From This Episode:The definition of food insecurity and how it manifests in society.Reasons for our guests getting involved with solving food insecurity. What the differences are between invention and innovation. The impact that Bento has and the potential it has to grow in the future.Technology and data challenges that they have or may need to overcome.How artificial intelligence helps them with their business model.Outcomes that they have achieved and hope to achieve in the future.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Mick EbelingNot Impossible LabsBentoEyeWriterSanjay Srivastava on LinkedInGenpact

Dr. Mark Lyons (presenter) was joined on the ONE Mainstage for the closing session by Mick Ebeling, founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs, and world-class blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer.  

In this episode of The Digital Patient, Dr. Joshua Liu, Co-founder & CEO at SeamlessMD, and marketing colleague, Alan Sardana, chat with Dr. David Putrino, Director of Rehabilitation Innovation at The Mount Sinai Health System & "Chief Mad Scientist" at Not Impossible Labs, about "Using Technology to Re-humanize the Patient Experience, the Problem with Funding Healthcare Innovation with Research Grants, and Being Mission-oriented vs. Compliance-oriented".

Today, our expert guest is Mick Ebeling, founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs. Mick has seeded a movement of pragmatic, inspirational innovation as a career producer, filmmaker, and inventor.  He's been named by Fortune Magazine as one of the Top 50 World's Greatest Leaders and is the only person to be honored twice as TIME Magazine's Inventor of the Year. He's also the recipient of The Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award and listed as one of the World's 50 Most Influential Creative People by Ad Age. Like most good origin stories, a series of coincidences led Mick to his main inspiration for Not Impossible Labs.  A friend convinced him to go to a gallery event; he begrudgingly went. It turned out to be a fundraising event for a graffiti artist, Tony “TEMPT ONE” Kwan, who had ALS. Mick ended up talking to Tony's family, where he realized the event was to help raise money for Tony's hospital bills. Only knowing the imagery of Stephen Hawking when it came to ALS, Mick was surprised to find out how difficult communicating was for Tony, and he promised to himself and Tony's family that he would find a way to get him a communication device.  Better yet, he committed to finding a way to let Tony create art again. With some of the smartest people he knew, they invented an $80 device that allowed Tony to do just that.  It was through that experience that Mick realized what change was possible and within his grasp. He set out to create Not Impossible Labs to start changing the world and inspiring others to do the same. Now, he helps others do what he did – find one person, change their life, and change the world.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Go out and change your world – and the world. That's the first thing, right? Just make a decision, find an absurdity, and go out and change that absurdity and help one person. Full stop. Case closed. Shut the door. Shut the computer.

Winner of the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year award, Mick has also been listed in the Time Magazine Top Invention of the Year category – two times. First, Mick and his team invented the EyeWriter, a low-cost device that enables paralyzed individuals to communicate and create art using only eye movements. Conceptualized in Mick's living room, they originally developed the device for a paralyzed graffiti artist that enabled him to draw for the first time in 7 years. Then Mick's team went on to develop a 3-D-printed arm for Daniel, a kid whose arm got amputated from the war in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, enabling Daniel to feed himself for the first time in 2 years. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How Mick conceived the EyeWriter Overcoming self-doubt The value of self-direction and the virtue of selfishness The story of Daniel The founding design principle of “help one, help many” Nothing is impossible Developing frictionless solutions to solve food insecurity Notable quotes from the Episode: "Technology for the sake of humanity – make technology that makes the world a better place that helps people." “At the beginning of every project, we always start by asking the question, who's the one? Nail this, and then we can open up the aperture and help more people.” “What happens when you just double down on trying to help someone? Look at what comes out of that.” Connecting with the Guest Website: Not Impossible Labs Book: Not Impossible: Do What Can't Be Done Bento: www.gobento.com Instagram: @NotImpossible Twitter: @NotImpossible Facebook: @NotImpossible Connect with our growing community: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gobundance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gobundancegbl/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoBundance Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoBundance Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eodconfections?lang=en Not a millionaire yet but want to be a part of our ecosystem?

Entrepreneur and philanthropist Mick Ebeling believes that nothing is impossible, forever. In 2009 Mick met Tempt One, a graffiti artist who had been paralyzed by ALS. Without any experience in ocular technology, Mick launched himself into a project called the EyeWriter to help Tempt communicate and draw again using his eyes. That project helped launched Not Impossible Labs, an award-winning incubator and content studio that develops creative, technology-driven solutions to real-world problems.

Ep. 2 - From an L.A. Art Benefit to a Refugee Camp in Sudan / Mick Ebeling, Founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs In this episode, Mick Ebeling describes how a date night with his wife at a  Los Angeles gala for a graffiti artist with Lou Gehrig’s disease convinced him to coalesce technology warriors from around the world to help the artist, known as Tempt, draw again. He then shifts his focus from his thriving production company to start Not Impossible Labs and dedicate his life to building technology to help those with disabilities. Ebeling reveals how this shift ultimately took him from the comfort of his home in Venice, California to the refugee camps of Sudan to build prosthetic arms using 3-D printers for a young boy named Daniel wounded in the civil war. He shares what he learned about leading both in the process of helping Tempt get back in touch with his artistry and as he undertook the Sudan mission to help Daniel regain his mobility and independence. Ebeling shares his insights through those anecdotes about the power of narrative to change the world.  Transcript Download the PDF Chitra:    Hello, and welcome to When it Mattered. I'm your host, Chitra Ragavan. I'm also the founder and CEO of Goodstory consulting, an advisory firm helping technology startups find their narrative. Chitra:    On this weekly podcast we invite leaders from around the world to share one personal story that changed the course of their life and work, and how they lead and deal with adversity. Through these stories we take you behind the scenes to get an inside perspective of some of the most eventful moments of our time. Chitra:    On this episode, we will be talking to Mick Ebeling, founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs, and author of the book Not Impossible. Mick was most recently named one of Fortune Magazine's world's greatest leaders. He's a recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award, and he's listed as one of the world's most influential creative people by the Creative 50s. Chitra:    Mick, welcome to the show. Mick:    Thank you so much. Chitra:    Tell us a little bit more about yourself. Mick:    Well, Not Impossible Labs, I think, like a lot of things in this world, was launched on accident. It wasn't something that I had intended to do, and it was a byproduct of my wife and I had a date night, and on date night a friend hijacked our date, and took us to an art benefit, and we were exposed to an incredible artist, graffiti and street artist, named Tony Tempt Quan, that we had never met or heard of before, but we learned at this event had Lou Gehrig's disease. Mick:    He had ALS, and the event was a benefit of his family and friends coming together to support him, and help to pay for his hospital bills, because he didn't have health insurance. Mick:    And it was one of those incredible nights that had this echo effect on my life, essentially, because at the time I ran a production company. We made television commercials and films. We had just done the James Bond main title sequence, and things were going incredible. Mick:    But then this night happened, and it just left this impression on us, and we found out that this artist was unable to talk, and unable to communicate, except through a piece of paper that had the alphabet on it, and people would run their finger along it, and when peoples' finger would get to a letter, he would blink, and then they would write it down. Mick:    And for us that was just, that was absurd. We didn't, just, that didn't make any sense. And so I said all right, well, that makes no sense. I live in Los Angeles. We have a GMP greater than most developing nations, 13 miles away from where I live in Venice Beach there's a dude who's having to talk through a piece of paper because he doesn't have health insurance. Mick:    And I know, through videos, and commercials, and things that I've read about Steven Hawking,

The founder of Not Impossible Labs tips off his next landmark invention: a band that can stop tremors caused by Parkinson’s Disease. Not Impossible Labs has previously invented a device that allowed a paralyzed graffiti artist to create art using only his eyes, and 3-D printed prosthetic arms for those who’ve had their limbs blown off during the civil war in Sudan. The device that can curtail the tremors of those afflicted with Parkinson’s Disease is Mick Ebeling’s latest proof that anything we can imagine we can create.   TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: How redefining the word “impossible” can make anything possible. How committing to a goal before you know how to achieve it can jumpstart your journey toward it, and push you past the obstacles that will arise. How trying to solve one impossible problem can lead you to solving another. How you can incorporate Mick’s philosophy into your own life and do things you never imagined you could do.

People with ALS often lose their ability to move and speak. The Eyewriter technology allows them to communicate through writing with their eyes. Mick Ebeling and his team at Not Impossible Labs created the Eyewriter. Their mission is to create technology that helps people by "recognizing an absurdity [that limits people] and committing to figure it out." Mick's story, work and heart transformed the way I view life, business, relationships, challenges and possibility. Today, Mick will share how he turns the "impossible" into "possible" in his lab and how you can do it in your life. SHOW NOTES  Figure it out mode: Start talking to people and asking questions. The more questions you ask, the smarter you get and the more you realize who knows what they're doing. Maybe you've viewed it as being bad for too long and it's time to change your perspective. Instead of thinking of technology for the sake of making things pretty and entertaining, how about for the sake of humanity.

They're all stories of owning your life and making change. 2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? To play and turn anything into a game. As a kid I could have a pile of sticks and turn it into a game. I wish I had more of a sense of play, fascination and wonder.  3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? Photo album. Memories ground you in naivety; that sense of wonder of the person you are and the person you were and when you meld those together... that gives you the fodder for growth in the future. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Without a doubt my dad. He passed 11 years ago; before I started Not Impossible. What do you think he'd say? "Good job. Keep it up." 5. What is the best advice you've ever received? I was graduating from college in Santa Baraba, CA. My uncle said, "Responsibility is over rated. You're going to get a mortgage, school and car payments. It's going to come. Avoid it as long as you can." That was good advice. I should have heeded. 6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Don't take yourself so serious. Every mistake I've made has basically just been a contribution to my life MBA. If I was able to just reflect on that in the moment, I'd be able to get even more out of it later on. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? He absolutely did not believe in the impossible. *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe, rate & review wherever you get your podcasts. See you here next Thursday!

Cody is a fearless and sensitive 7-year-old boy diagnosed with a rare disease that is slowly robbing him of hearing and sight. The Not Impossible Labs team committed itself to finding a way for Cody to navigate the world. What they created – and built into a superhero costume -- allows Cody to feel what his eyes will soon no longer be able to perceive.

When producer Mick Ebeling met a paralyzed graffiti artist named Tempt, he made a promise that Tempt would one day paint again – and then wondered how he’d keep the promise. The results of the challenge reside in museums on both coasts – and the philosophy behind them launched Not Impossible Labs.

The Founder of Not Impossible Labs, Mick Ebeling, joins us @ CES 2018 to talk about how Not Impossible is changing the world through technology and story. His team of, punk rock, Robin Hood, hackers/engineers, travel the world searching for "absurdities" and create solutions that accomplish a specific social need.

On this episode, Dr. G gets into the fearless mind of Mick Ebeling, Founder of Not Impossible Labs. Media production artist turned world problem solver, Mick shares with us how he overcomes seemingly impossible feats with simple everyday hacks. You will hear stories of how he adventured through active war zones to help a single boy amputee named Daniel, and how we gave a paraplegic a second chance in life to continue his craft as a graffiti artist. Mick is a force to be reckoned with who always “commits first, and then figures things out”. He believes technology, if used correctly, can be a valuable tool to advance humanity. On this show, we discuss everything from the advantages of the novice mind over the expert, to how for-profit organizations can “do well while doing good”. Now, That’s Unusual. About Mick Ebeling: Mick Ebeling is the CEO and founder of Not Impossible, a “social innovation lab” created to address real-world problems via accessible technology. His upbringing in a family of philanthropists coupled with his background in media production led him to the idea of developing technology to benefit the most vulnerable. Ebeling is a two-time South by Southwest Innovation Award Winner, one of Ad Age’s Top 50 Most Creative People, and the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year. Beyond Not Impossible, Ebeling is a renowned public speaker and author of the book Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn’t Be Done. His inspirational TED talk has been viewed over 1M+ times, and counting. He lives in Venice Beach , California with his wife and their three sons. Key Interview Takeaways: Expertise is not necessary when working to find a solution to an impossible situation. In fact, not knowing can be a strength. The Not Impossible team starts every project with a “beautiful, limitless naiveté,” then assembles talent to create a workable, DIY solution. The Eyewriter, for example, affords ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) patients the fundamental human need to communicate by means of eye movement; its component parts include sunglasses, the wire of a coat hanger, duct tape and a webcam attached with zip ties. “Commit first, then figure it out.” Project Daniel stemmed from the story of a Sudanese boy who lost both arms when his village was bombed. Compelled to help despite a lack of expertise, Not Impossible built a team that developed a low-cost, sustainable solution: prosthetic limbs generated by a 3D printer. “Help one. Help many.” Not Impossible seeks to go beyond helping the individual by telling his story. Sharing the process that led to an innovative solution promotes further collaboration and inspires others to action. The hybrid business model combining nonprofit and for-profit can work. While maintaining the Not Impossible Foundation so that inspired donors can contribute, the organization has found a way to create value proposition so that funders get something tangible in return for their backing. It is feasible to “do well while doing good.” Learn More About Mick Ebeling: Not Impossible Labs Not Impossible Now Mick Ebeling Speaker Page TED Talk Twitter: Mick Ebeling Twitter: Not Impossible Facebook: Not Impossible Labs

Mick Ebeling (@MickEbeling, @NotImpossible) is an American film, television and commercial Executive Producer, author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Mick has been honored by Advertising Age as one of the “Top 50 Most Creative People”, also in Wired Magazine Agent of Change, the recipient of the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award. Mick founded the Not Impossible Labs, a company committed to creating technology for the sake of humanity. The two known projects are Project Daniel and The Eyewriter. The Eyewriter was created for Tony 'TEMPT' Quan, who is a legendary LA graffiti artist, social activist, and publisher who was diagnosed with ALS in 2003. Mick organized a crew of hackers and artists to invent a low-cost, open source DIY device that would let Tempt create art with his eyes. Through trial and error, The Eyewriter was born and Tempt was back to using his creativity. Project Daniel was for by a Sudanese boy named Daniel, whose arms are blown off during a bombing of his village and is incited to help. Mick illegally travels to the Nuba Mountains to find Daniel, make him a prosthetic arm, and teach the locals about the process as well. I met Mick at the FutureM Boston in November 2015.  His story silenced the entire auditorium and drew tears to my eyes. His message "Commit then figure it out" continues to echo in my mind and influences my decisions in choosing what I work on, people I spend time with.

I know a miracle worker. He's an entrepreneur, marketing man, and film producer who gets companies like HP to say, "yes" to him. You can learn a lot from him. I did. One thing I learned is there's more to choosing yourself. There's a part two. Part one is when you see things in your life that are absurd, decide you're not going to stand for it anymore and quit. You decide to become physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy. That's choosing yourself. Part two is when you see what's wrong with the world and say, "That's absurd. Let's change that. Let's hack that. Let's modify that so it's affordable." That's what Mick Ebeling does-- founder of the Not Impossible Labs and the Not Impossible Foundation. Through these two entities, Mick figured out how build whatever he wants, and solve impossible problems. Mick sees the world through his own lens. It's the reason he's successful. He creates technology that solves absurd problems like having your arms blown off. No prosthetics, no solution. Or being paralyzed and unable to speak to your family ever again. The technology to fix these problems does exist. But when you can't afford it, you have an even bigger problem. This is why Mick hacks. He disrupts the system, doesn't wait for permission, and believes in impossible things. You can, too, but more on that later. Let me tell you how he got started. Mick was just reading the paper. He read that thousands of people in the country of Sudan don't have arms because of war injuries. And they just live with it. They can't afford prosthetics, so they hand-feed each other, dress each other, and help each other with all the other daily necessities. Mick decided to do something. He flew to Sudan with no plan and figured out how to create prosthetic arms using a 3D printer. This is someone with no experience in medicine or engineering. He's just a guy with a big heart who decided nothing is impossible. On the show, you'll hear how he 3D printed arms for a boy named Daniel, and empowered an entire country to do this for thousands of other people missing limbs. I wanted to know how it's done. How can people quit their jobs and do things that really matter? Mick tells you how on the podcast. You'll also learn how to think like today's most successful innovators. "We're not trying to create the next $700 pill," Mick says, "We're trying to create something that totally disrupts a particular fill-in-the-blank, maybe it's a way of communication, a way of transportation." This is the winning mentality today: Uber, Airbnb, Not Impossible Labs. By making technology accessible, he's solving global problems. "Help one, help many," that's Not Impossible Labs' mission. Then Mick's team tells the story through videos that go viral and infect everyone with this bug- the not impossible bug. Besides a miracle worker, Mick's a story teller. "Each of our projects tells the story of a single individual. By helping one person, how many others can we help?" Stories bridge the gap between helping just one person and helping many. Mick's not just choosing himself... He's choosing the world. "Once you start to have the awareness of something you need, you start to see it." So how can you get the big idea, do the impossible, and become beautifully successful "First of all, you can just start to believe in this mentality that nothing is impossible," Mick says. Try it. Second, look for absurdities. They're everywhere - when you read or watch TV. When something bothers you, think of solutions. Be an idea machine. Third, disrupt. Don't wait for big government or big business to give you permission. Forget bureaucracy. Disruption starts now. We're hacking the system. Listen to today's episode. You'll hear Mick's miracle stories, find out where he gets his big ideas and his money, and how you too can do impossible things. Resources and Links: * Not Impossible Labs' Website *...
