Mick Ebeling founded Not Impossible, a multiple award-winning social innovation lab and production company, on the premise that nothing is impossible. His mantra of “commit, then figure it out” allows him to convene a disparate team of hackers, doers, makers and thinkers to create devices that better the world by bringing accessibility for all. This unconventional approach brought to life highly acclaimed initiatives -- the EyeWriter, Project Daniel, Don's Voice and most recently Music: Not Impossible -- that brought the ability to draw back to a paraplegic street artist, 3D-printed arms to Sudanese amputees, a ‘voice' to an ALS patient who hadn't spoken in 15 years, and wearables that let deaf and hearing people alike feel music in a “surround body” experience. Ebeling's book, Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn't Be Done, recounts the life experiences that led to the founding of Not Impossible. Published in a multitude of languages, the book was hailed as “a unique and inspiring tale of brave abandon” by Nicholas Negroponte.

You look around and you see people doing some pretty amazing things in the world. Whether it's business accomplishments or changing the world for the better, things that seem impossible. Mick Ebeling is certainly one of those guys. It makes me wonder, is doing the impossible relegated to a chosen few? Or are any of us capable of doing what currently seems impossible, and if so, what stops us from breaking through believing that nothing is impossible. A recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the year Award, and listed as one of the most influential creative people by The Creativity 50's, Mick Ebeling has sparked a movement of pragmatic, inspirational, innovation. As a career producer and filmmaker, he harvests the power of technology and story, to change the world.

WARRIOR of Not Impossible “If you look at things that are impossible today, statistically, they are on the trajectory to being possible”- Mick Ebeling Highlights - Mick created the eyewriter from scratch, with really no knowledge of how to do it The day after creating this open source device, thousands of outlets were covering it The Eyewriter was the start of Not Impossible Ideas start as inconceivable, and then impossible, and eventually, possible Even if you can't fathom something becoming possible, you can fathom statistics It's not about having proof that it can happen or it will happen, but believing in the possibility that it can happen The Department of Accessible Prosthetics is the next step for Project Daniel This project will make prosthetics accessible to thousands and thousands of others in need If not now, when?

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

"The philosophy that nothing is impossible isn’t religious dogma. It does not require faith. It is 100% statistical." - Mick Ebeling Honored by Advertising Age as one of the “Top 50 Most Creative People” in 2014 and the recipient of the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award, Mick Ebeling is a film/television/commercial producer, philanthropist, technology trailblazer, author, entrepreneur and public speaker. After befriending ALS patient and renown street artist TemptOne, Mick and his team of inventors developed the EyeWriter, a low­cost eye­tracking device that allows those suffering with ALS to draw and communicate with their eyes. The EyeWriter was named Time Magazine’s “Top 50 Inventions of 2010,” honored at Advertising Age and Creativity’s 2010 “The Idea Conference” and resides in the permanent collection at the New York MOMA. In 2013, after reading the story of a young boy who had lost both arms as a civilian casualty of war, Ebeling flew to the war­torn region of Sudan to 3D­print prosthetics for children. He established the world's first 3D­ printing prosthetic lab and training facility. Project Daniel was winner of numerous awards including SXSW ­ Innovation Award, Cannes Titanium, Gold and Bronze Lions, Telly’s, AICP, and One Show awards. Mick’s motto, Technology for the Sake of Humanity, is defined in his book Not Impossible: The Art & Joy of Doing What Couldn’t Be Done. His book is now in it’s 5th printing.

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.

When will it be done?” That is the first question your customers ask you once you start work for them. And, for the most part, it is the only thing they are interested in until you deliver. Whether your process is predictable or not is judged by the accuracy of your answer. Think about how many times you have been asked that question and think how many times you have been wrong. Now think about how much harder it is to answer that question when practicing Agile at scale. Your customers most likely feel like they have better odds of winning the lottery than they do of your next Agile project coming in on time. That you don't know your odds of success is not necessarily your fault. You have been taught to collect the wrong metrics, implement the wrong policies, and make the wrong decisions. Until now. This session will introduce how to utilize the basic metrics of flow to more effectively manage the uncertainty associated with very large scale software development. In it, we will discuss how to leverage the power of advanced analytics like Cumulative Flow Diagrams, Cycle Time Scatterplots, and Monte Carlo Simulations to drive predictability at all levels of the organization. Your customers demand better predictability. Isn’t it time you delivered?
