Memorable Lines from Daniel:
"You know, Bucky said that of all the tools we'd ever invented, and we're talking about a naval engineer saying so. He said of all the tools we ever invented, language was by far the highest order.”

More On Daniel:
I am someone frequently considered for and tasked with making the complex simple, and accessible. I like to think that I am a doorway to genius.
I am an Impact Investor, a producer, and a technology translator who combines concepts, talent, and investment capital, to move people and bring ideas to life. The UK based venture studio I co founded, Impact Launchpad, is especially focused on expanding the capital pool ready to invest in the the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We think that humanity has already invented all the technology we need. We have an implementation problem, not an innovation one. In fact, we think survival and sustainability can be more rapidly produced by a new ownerless social impact bank that can be dedicated to that focus. We have a plan to produce that result. #leaders are #welcome to join that effort.
I am also the accidental voice for a globally enjoyed conversation of inclusion called #IsThereEnough, a new approach to survival economics and human collaboration that seeks to make the world work for 100% of humanity just as it was defined in Buckminster Fuller's World Game. It's a game of conversation we have played in 30 countries. Based on that research, we plan to make it available everywhere . I am the author of a book about #IsThereEnough and its role in human survival. It is called The First Agreement. I will support it with a tour. As a speaker and a trainer with 600+ live events to audiences up to 10,000, my events are known for their their blend of theater, gamesmanship and strategy .
As a media producer, I was an early streaming innovator co founding iDiscovery TV, a network with over million fans on social media (2012). It arose from years of business and technology consulting where I was often called on for transformative projects involving significant organizational change. This led to a treatment for a TV series, and eventually, a full blown network. Launched with 9 shows, 240 hours of original content, a social video discovery platform, and a production incubator. Company went from zero to $20 Million valuation in 11 months.
I am also a service management expert. As co Founder of 1-800-GeeksOnTime, I was the key architect behind its award winning service management model achieving Best Customer Service nominations in 2005 and 2006 from American Business Awards (aka The Stevies) with a win in 2006 against Wyndham Hotels. I was also an early adopter of IT Managed Services project managing over 100 business technology optimizations before the launch of my solo consulting career.
