The World is Breaking, but We can Still Fix It.

You don’t even have to put your ear to the ground anymore.

You can hear it all around you.

Things are breaking, and they are breaking quickly. Our economic, social, spiritual, and physical infrastructure and systems weren’t designed to handle the load they are currently bearing.

Sometimes, it either feels like we don’t have any idea how to fix our broken systems – or we rely blindly on technology.

But technology on its own won’t save us.

If we don’t fix our broken systems, the technology used to power those systems is only going to make our current problems worse.

But if we fixed those systems?

We live in an era of enormous friction.

But even with all the friction, we also live in a time with enormous potential.

Regardless of what the news says, we can still build a world where everyone is included, a world where everyone can maximize their individual potential -- and do it in a collectively sustainable environment.

No matter how bad the current moment feels, we haven’t run out of ideas.

We just need to stop letting only those at the top of society’s pyramid tell us how we are going to get out of this mess.

Of course, the rich, the prominent, and the powerful don’t want things to change.

You can’t even blame them.

They have swallowed up an unimaginable amount of wealth by commandeering these broken systems.

But if that's the case, why are we only looking UP for answers and ideas?

Instead, we need to look in the mirror.

The best ideas for how to fix our broken world will come from the people who have to live in this world -- not people who have encased themselves inside walls of gold.

Because of that, a few friends and I have put together "The Big Idea Lab,” a forthcoming blog and companion LinkedIn newsletter designed to share ideas and work that can help humanity reach its potential -- and clean up some of the messes we've made.

And we want you to contribute.

Quick note, though: we won’t be impressed by your resume.

We care about you, your perspective, and your potential -- not whatever you have on your profile.

We want to be impressed by your ideas, and they can come as written content, videos, graphics – the form doesn’t matter, and you can use AI to create your content.

But the idea has to be all yours, and it has to address something big.

For example:

• How do we create economic opportunity for everyone that isn’t based on consumption?
• What type(s) of technology can help create more financial inclusion across the globe?
• ?How do we take advantage of remote work to create employment opportunities in the developing world?
• How do we create affordable, healthy, and sustainable food sources?
• Etc, etc, etc – we have too many problems to list, but you get the idea.

And you really don’t need to be an “expert” or “thought leader.”?

If you’re a parent who’s thought about a better way to educate your kids while you waste away the morning in the pickup line, let us know.

We would love to hear from you!

We will then share your content with our list of subscribers and my followers via “The Big Idea Lab.”

It might not be a lot, but we have to start somewhere – and we have to start sometime.

So, let’s start now.
