World Domination
It’s July 5th, 2013 and I’m heading to the World Domination Summit in Portland, OR. This conference has had a tremendous influence on how I’ve built my blog. It has been life-changing to be surrounded by the energy of a bunch of people trying to dominate the world with good work.
WDS is a group of 3000 amazing people who do good for the world in various capacities (with a tech twist). Last year I met and saw some incredible speakers:
Chris Guillebeau – is the ring leader of WDS, a man who writes and speaks about “how to live a remarkable life in a conventional world.” This is what we want education to empower our children to do.
Brene Brown – looks at how shame and vulnerability affect our lives. She has many important insights which also apply to our children!
Jonathan Fields – created The Good Life Project, a collection of in-dept interviews of amazing people who contribute to the world powerfully.
Scott Harrison – is a truly inspirational man who turned his life of selfishenss into a life of immense service to humanity through CharityWater.
Cal Newport – has important perspectives on what it means to live our passions.
What really strikes me about the WDSers is that they are people who are trying to live their dreams. Ultimately this is what real education should empower us to do. It’s my vision that schools will someday teach kids to really write their own scripts in life so they can have the phenomenal lives they deserve.
In service and gratitude,
Seth
