Not Impossible Labs

? We are thrilled to announce that Not Impossible Labs has been named a winner for Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech for Music:Not Impossible!!?? M:NI was first created as a way to promote music equality and offer the Deaf and hard of hearing community a way to FEEL music. Now, we are on a mission to change the way all people can experience sound by transforming audio into a unique, immersive full-body experience. Our cutting-edge technology consists of software and haptic suit, that takes a multi-sensory approach to translating music and sound into vibrational patterns felt throughout on the body –?essentially turning the skin into another “eardrum.” As FC’s global technology editor, Harry McCracken, noted in an article about how winners were selected , “with Next Big Things in Tech, our aim is to honor projects based not only on what they’ve already achieved but where they’re poised to go. Whether honorees are still in the lab or already on the market, they’re driving progress in a tangible way on an array of fronts.” We can’t wait to share more about how Music:Not Impossible is on the verge of revolutionizing how we all experience sound in the future! Thank you to the Fast Company team for including Not Impossible in the Class of Honorees for 2024! Check out the full list below. #FCTechAwards https://lnkd.in/e3t5h9Fa

Last month, we joined Slalom and Google Cloud for their Innovation Day panel, “Inspiration to Innovation.” Our Head of Strategy, Linda Jeo Zerba was asked one final question to close out the discussion: How do you dream bigger, move faster, and build better tomorrows for all? At Not Impossible Labs, it starts with thinking differently. Focus on the questions not the solution, because until you know what questions to ask, what question you should REALLY be asking, then that’s when you can begin to envision what that better tomorrow looks like. Thank you to Slalom’s John Tomik for including us along with these visionary leaders and trailblazers in innovation, Ronit Levavi Morad from Google, Jillian Crane from First Responders Children's Foundation, and Ted Schilowitz (entertainment industry futurist). Watch the on-demand video to learn more on how bold ideas can be transformed into groundbreaking innovations and harnessing creativity to build a brighter future.

In honor of International Day of the Girl, we wanted to celebrate the inspiring work of the "Darth Rappers" team—a group of four young girls passionate about making a difference in the world. Last year, they were inspired by a conversation with Chief Vibrational Officer, Daniel Belquer, LLB MFA, whose work with Music:Not Impossible sparked an idea for their own project, Dance: Not Impossible. The girls set out to make dance accessible to the blind, leveraging AI, robotics, and haptic technology to create a multi-sensory system that provides audio, tactile, and haptic feedback. Their innovative approach earned them the prestigious first-place Motivate Award at the FIRST World Festival. Today, we celebrate their creativity, drive, and commitment to making the impossible NOT impossible. These young innovators are a powerful reminder of how the next generation can change the world when given the right tools and inspiration. Happy #InternationalDayoftheGirl! Let’s keep supporting and empowering young minds to dream big and create innovations for a better future. #STEM #GirlsInTech #InnovationForGood

A little reminder from our Founder, Mick Ebeling, to help start your week: Change doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you commit, then figure it out. Sure, it’s uncomfortable, but if you commit to doing SOMETHING, no matter how big or small, that’s the first step to making the impossible, NOT impossible. Thank you to AHIP for having Mick close out #AHIPDigital last month, where he was able to share his simple yet unique approach to how we can all make real world-changing impact.?

Last week, we had the opportunity to join One Young World in Montreal, and it was AMAZING! In partnership with Deloitte, the Not Impossible Institute led a workshop for their emerging changemakers, sharing our philosophy that creating impact doesn't have to be this big, huge thing. It can start small! So to all the Deloitte delegates, remember: change is hard, change is hard, CHANGE IS HARD – but we do it anyway. As our Founder, Mick Ebeling, said … If you’re scared, if you feel like you’re not the right person to do it, PERFECT. You are exactly where you need to be. That’s the secret sauce. It all starts with finding that absurdity and dismantling the status quo – that’s how you change the world. Thank you to the Deloitte & Deloitte Canada teams for including Not Impossible!

When we invented Music:Not Impossible (M:NI) our goal was to launch a new way to experience music. We wanted to develop a NEW form of music creation and expression that transcended beyond just hearing the music. We wanted to create music equality for all. Well, what we’ve created has been revolutionary. When anyone puts on a M:NI suit – whether they can or can’t hear – the reaction is always the same: their minds are completely blown away! Music:Not Impossible is on the brink of transforming the music industry and the future of how EVERYONE can experience music and live events forever. Thank you NBCUniversal for including Mick Ebeling, and Chief Vibrational Officer of Music:Not Impossible, Daniel Belquer, as American innovators during the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Show and spotlighting the game-changing work we’re doing at Not Impossible Labs. What an honor to be included in the celebration! Video Description: This video features footage of audience members experiencing the Music: Not Impossible suit at previous events, interspersed with interview footage of Mick Ebeling and Daniel Belquer, Co-Founders of Music: Not Impossible, sharing more about the product and experiences.

Not Impossible Labs CEO and founder?Mick Ebeling wrote about our 'Help One, Help Many' philosophy for the Washington Speakers' Bureau. "[Help One, Help Many] is a powerfully reductive approach?that empowers you to take on any kind of seemingly overwhelming challenge, whether in your personal life, in your community, or especially at work. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve introduced our Help One, Help Many technique to our corporate partners who were bogged down in decision gridlock and were then able to regain their focus and move forward."

Music:Not Impossible won a Silver Edison Award last night in the Assistive Technologies in Accessibility category. Congratulations to the team for this incredible achievement!
