My life is a story about how my frustration with the education of my children led to my latent discovery of my passions. This led to mentoring on hackathons and guiding startups on technology. Also started an incubator to accelerate the adoption of 3dprinting among companies, innovators and entrepreneurs. I talk about the state of technology and how a lot of the solutions for our problems are ready, but we have to change culturally to accept these changes. And the challenge of what you should teach your children in an ever-changing world, where 65% of the jobs our children will do, do not exist yet.
