letter to the listener, I believe you have a larger purpose than working a third of your life away and worrying about money. You deserve a world in which your attention isn't monetized and a world that respects the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature. I dream of a world where profit alone doesn't inform decision making. Instead creating positive outcomes is the true driver of business and government decisions And I think something is broken when 80% of humans on planet Earth live on less than $5,000 per year. Can you imagine a world with not one child suffering from disease or food insecurity? It's now possible. An entire planet with opportunity for each person to become her or his best self is possible. A future that incentivizes you to be healthy and enjoy life to the fullest can be the reality soon. Technology and globalization are exponentially advancing and can bring us together if we transform our ways or tear us apart if we choose to do nothing, I see a world of abundance and opportunity but one that has been accidentally siloed away instead of skillfully shared. We are an advanced civilization and we can no longer operate according to rules of the past. The alphabet is a proposal to rewrite the rules, starting with the ways in which you and I can affect change to improve our individual livelihood For two decades. I worked tirelessly with little reward and little to show for it. Eventually I got lucky and had enough resources to lift my head out of the paperwork and the stress to take a step back. It was a rare opportunity to truly see the big picture. I was ready for a new path forward and thus began a journey to discover why, why do most of us work tirelessly for such little reward? Why is there so much innovation in the world but still so many problems? Why are businesses and governments still using 20th century methodologies? Why are people suffering when there's so much wealth and abundance to get answers? I began to meet with leaders of various future technology, environmental and social responsibility organizations. This led me to research further at Arizona State University, Singularity University and massachusetts Institute of Technology. What I found is there are simple solutions to some of the problems we have created as a society And there is already a massive movement that will change the way we live, work and consume during the 2020s decade. We can sit back and go for the ride or discover our individual power to guide these changes. A window of opportunity exists for just a few years right now, we can either keep operating according to business as usual or pause to seize this moment before the window closes. What really matters is your story, your trials and tribulation. Your experiences and unique abilities are the foundation of your legacy. You are the hero of this story. The world is better because of you and you will rise above any problems facing you. Now the alphabet is a challenge. Are you ready? three notes before we begin? One.
