Exponential Wisdom

Dan explains why entrepreneurs struggle with procrastination and introduces a new method he uses to implement new ideas. Changing the thought process from “how to do this” to “who can do this” is a game-changer. In this episode: Peter explains using the “Who, Not How” method in his company, and why instead of creating a to-do list, he spends the year creating Impact Filters (a Strategic Coach client tool) explaining why the project is important, defining criteria for success, and then picking a point person to implement the task. Dan explains why first-time entrepreneurs start with how — because at the beginning, there’s no one else to delegate to — but as time goes on and the company grows, this becomes a bad habit. Peter gives an example of gaining back hundreds of hours of time, an Abundance of time, by delegating a project to his summer interns.

Peter and Dan discuss Google Duplex, an AI system capable of conducting natural conversations to carry out “real world” tasks over the phone. The technology is directed towards completing specific tasks, such as scheduling certain types of appointments and makes the conversational experience as natural as possible, allowing people to speak normally — like they would to another person — without having to adapt to a machine. In this episode: Peter talks about the Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, as a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human, and why he believes Google Duplex has conquered this feat. Read the Google blog here. Dan and Peter discuss the implications of technology like this, when AI’s master realistic voice-synthesizing, and the societal and legal ramifications. Will AI’s be required to self-identify by law? Should they? Peter describes a future where AI’s impact the education industry and believes we are less than 5 years away from this disruption.

Peter and Dan discuss a recent trip to Vatican City, where the XPRIZE Vision Circle & Innovation Board members met on the annual Adventure Trip to discuss longevity and regenerative medicine, piggybacking on the United to Cure conference hosted by the Pope. In this episode: Peter discusses his opening remarks at the conference with fellow panelists George Church (one of the creators of gene-editing CRISPR technology), Martine Rothblatt (CEO of United Therapeutics, whose goal is to regenerate human organs), and Lou Reese and Mei Mei Hu (co-CEOs of United Neuroscience, focused on creating vaccines against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease). Dan brings up three keys to longevity: 1) Friends who are progressing, not declining, 2) Enough resources and income to be independent, and 3) Having a purpose, so you look forward to a future that is much greater than the past. Peter and Dan discuss how morality has evolved over time, and how some ideas that were once considered immoral are now considered miracles.

Peter and Dan discuss a powerful use of the Blockchain: a basis for exponentially expanding trust among individuals within a global society. This could help the millions of people born without national documentation, who are stuck in no man’s land without an official identity.   In this episode: Dan and Peter discuss a fundamental new political idea in which individuals would have self-sovereignty, and why the blockchain is the best place to securely store identification. Peter describes reinventing democracy: a future where you can choose what sovereign association of individuals to be part of. In this digital existence, the individual decides how to spend time, income and even political votes. Peter outlines a few industries that will be completely disrupted — like real estate, the financial industry and politics — when you cut out the middleman.

Peter and Dan discuss takeaways from Abundance 360, Peter’s executive summit where four rockstar longevity CEOs summarized new capabilities in the healthcare industry. These cutting-edge companies, whose early experiments have produced amazing results, will have therapies and drugs on the market in the next one to five years. In this episode: Peter mentions Mark Allen, the CEO of Elevian, on the “young blood” research he’s commercializing. He also explains the research and early stage experiments to give GDF11 to humans in the next five years. The second company mentioned is Celularity, where CEO Bob Hariri, a pioneer in the stem cell business, has developed the best stem cells available to help rejuvenate the regenerative engine in your body. The next company is Unity Biosciences, a company backed by Jeff Bezos. This company has created the ability to identify and kill senescent cells, and are entering human trials in the next five years. The final company is Samumed, and its CEO Osman Kibar. Peter explains the company’s miraculous mission to regrow cartilage to a youthful state with a single injection and its wrinkle-eliminating cream.

Peter and Dan imagine a future when AI saturates everything in our lives and every object becomes intelligent with the ability to learn about you.     In this episode: Peter shares stories from his recent trip to China, including his experience with $5 machine learning chips that transform any object less than $100 into an intelligent machine. Dan describes tasks that currently annoy him and his belief that annoyance is where innovation happens first. Peter and Dan discuss things they don’t want an AI to help with, and why certain things in life will stay analog to give humans pleasures.

Peter and Dan discuss the future of advertising products and services, including new possibilities when personal AI’s are in the world. Peter describes a near future in which artificial intelligence is so good at predicting desires that we will ultimately give them control of our purchasing power.   In this episode: Dan shares his history in the advertising business in his early days out of college at a large agency in Canada, where they did print, radio, and television ads for big brands, and how this business has dramatically changed. Peter paints a picture of the future when personal AI’s with perfect knowledge will have enough data to correctly predict which products and services we will want, even before we ask. Dan and Peter agree that human-AI collaboration will ultimately level up humanity in a way that will dramatically change many industries, including advertising and marketing.

Peter discusses three tactics he believes have contributed to Elon Musk’s massive success as an exponential entrepreneur.

Peter and Dan discuss the Polak Game — a diagram with four perspectives on the world — and why they believe entrepreneurs share the mindset that the world is getting better and we have the ability to make it even better.   In this episode: Peter discusses his practice of sharing three daily wins, and why he uses this method with his kids to reflect on the positives from the day. Dan and Peter describe confirmation bias and why they knowingly choose to see the world in a positive way. Peter shares his belief that mindset is the most important asset, more crucial than wealth and knowledge, and that how you protect your mindset is critically important.

Peter and Dan discuss what it takes to earn acceptance of new products or ideas. How to make it go viral, how to launch it in a supercredible fashion, and understanding the desired outcome from the beginning are critically important.   In this episode: Peter describes his rule of thumb that if something is 10x better, cheaper, faster, or easier, people will switch their behavior and change. Dan gives an example of Acceptance Momentum in history: when Thomas Edison brought the light bulb to market in New York City, and how he used it to light up a public square area to become a huge attraction. Peter describes his idea of supercredibility, and why the first time you hear about an idea impacts your acceptance and confidence.

Peter and Dan give an update on the latest research in technologies extending the healthy human lifespan. Peter and Dan agree that “retirement” is one of the leading causes of death, and that mindset is a major factor in the game of human longevity.   In this episode: Peter explains how the human race is attacking the three major causes of death — heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease — and why entrepreneurship is a key to this success. Dan explores how the extension of human life will impact Social Security, retirement, and other large programs.

Electric autonomous cars, Virgin Hyperloop One, flying vehicles like Airbus and Uber Elevate, and Elon Musk’s Boring Company and SpaceX rockets.   In this episode: Peter compares today’s (2018 – 2022) transportation transition to early 20th century history, when mass-produced cars started to outpace the horse and buggy in 1908. Dan gives an example of the early adoption of autonomous elevators having an effect on the retail industry. Peter summarizes the implications of “car as a service,” which he believes will be 5-10x cheaper than owning a car because of the loss of car insurance, fuel, parking lots, not to mention fewer car accidents. Peter gives an update on Virgin Hyperloop One and a few companies creating autonomous flying vehicles. How does this change where you live? Where you work? As transportation becomes more agile, faster and cheaper, Dan and Peter discuss why humanity will spread out.

Peter and Dan delve into a number of dangerous ideas, including changing government, healthcare, and education, and discuss how these opinions are less than a decade away.   In this episode: Peter describes a world where the blockchain enables 100% trust among strangers, which will disrupt current governments and many industries. Dan discusses why he is constantly renewing relationships with people younger and younger. One key to his goal of extreme longevity is “you feel the same age as the person you’re interacting with.” Peter talks about his belief that we are rapidly heading towards the end of petroleum era and moving into an all-electric economy.

Peter and Dan revisit Peter’s 6 D’s of exponentials framework and discuss a new thinking tool created to help entrepreneurs measure how they are using technology in their companies and their lives.   In this episode: Peter describes the origin story of the 6 D’s of exponentials and why the concept has held true over this period of rapid change. Dan explains his thinking tool to help entrepreneurs measure their technology use and his belief that, when we first use a new technology, we must build confidence by finding a use case that fits with our everyday experience. Peter and Dan discuss humanity’s ability to make constant progress using tools to build better tools, and their shared belief that adopting new technology is going to allow us to do more.

Peter and Dan discuss a common conversation theme in Silicon Valley — namely, that most people have no idea how quickly things are changing — and how technology has caused the world to move at an accelerated pace.   In this episode: Peter gives short overview of Moore’s Law, the history of computation and the exponential growth in this field. Dan and Peter discuss the number people using technology being the driving force that is causing more innovations, new ideas and ultimately new technologies. Peter tells the story of interviewing Marc Andreesen, an American entrepreneur, software engineer and co-creator of Netscape, the first web browser… and how, during that interview, he came up with the idea of the “interface moment,” which is the moment an exponentially growing technology becomes usable by entrepreneurs to generate massive revenue.

Peter and Dan discuss a conversation they had in 2013 that led to the creation of the Abundance 360 executive summit and the 25-year framework behind the idea.     In this episode: Peter describes how the 25-year framework changed his life, why this mindset shift becomes an organizing principle, and how it allows you to patiently focus on the goal. Dan discusses the concept of “The Gap”: the permanent distance between the ideal and the actual, and useful tools to help with measuring progress to big audacious goals. Peter talks about the “accessible possible” concept introduced by Dan Sullivan, why it’s powerful and how this has shaped the curation of Abundance 360.

Peter and Dan discuss entrepreneurial commercial space. Why is this happening now? Which companies are the most exciting to watch?     In this episode: Peter describes three reasons this is happening now: individuals concentrating massive wealth, the explosion of material sciences, and how the field of artificial intelligence has taken simulation to the next level.

In this episode: Peter and Dan each give examples of digitizing processes in everyday life: for example, governments using Global Entry to digitize the analog customs process, ultimately saving time and energy. What are the three most important digital improvements you can make 90 days from now, and what’s the first step you’re going to take? Dan asks three questions that make this process easily applicable to entrepreneurs in their current business. Peter discusses the fallacy of “waiting to get it right” in the analog world, and why acting early, getting feedback from your audience, and then iterating rapidly and experimenting is the mechanism for success in today’s world.

Peter and Dan discuss setting boundaries for kids and their gadgets. They explore the potential benefits and pitfalls of kids using technology and growing up in a world where every toy contains exponential technology. In this episode: Peter discusses his belief that kids who are technologically literate often have a self-driven exploration that allows them to seek their passions. Dan believes during this technological revolution it is extremely difficult to make predictions 10 or 20 years into the future, whereas 50 years ago, teachers had a pretty accurate idea of what the world would be like in the future. Peter gives examples of toys and tools like YouTube Kids, and LEGOs that teach kids to be insanely curious, to have grit and don’t give up up until the task is completed.

Peter and Dan explore the history of innovation over centuries and the “adjacent possible,” a concept developed by Steven Johnson in his book “How We Got to Now.”     In this episode: Dan outlines how many entrepreneurs get caught up in future possibilities that aren’t immediately actionable, and analyzes the impact of this negative thinking pattern.
