In this episode we review some amazing people helping their communities, we discuss the amazing life and achievements of Edwin Land, the advancements of extoskeletons, and a great book that reviews the key inventions that have impacted the world over the past 500 years.
It has been so much fun putting together these episodes as it reminds me all the good happening and the need to stay positive, focused, and avoid negativity and blame. It is too easy to make assumptions and take things personally, but it is not about what someone has done or what you think their intentions are – it is your mindset and how you make assumptions.
