Doug Menuez was given unprecedented insider access to document Steve Jobs and the greatest innovators of the digital revolution as they invented the technology that changed our world. Now Doug is sharing his rare images and stories from his photo book “Fearless Genius,” in a keynote presentation.
Doug brings observations and insights from his time inside over 70 companies, many of them startups that failed. His photographs reveal the passion, emotion and idealism that fueled the innovations that created millions of jobs worldwide, along with untold wealth. There are relevant takeaways from Fearless Genius we can apply to the challenges and opportunities innovators and entrepreneurs face today.
Themes explored include:
How super successful companies must “kill their babies” to avoid being disrupted and keep innovating.
Building the new culture of innovation required for breakthroughs.
Diversity and why it matters beyond social justice.
True leadership in the face of impossible odds.
Creativity, education, sustainability, risk-taking and overcoming failure.
Today a new wave of amazing technology is coming fast – sensors, 3D printing, genomics, nanotech, quantum computing, machine learning, robotics and more, plus the possibility of the singularity. If anything is possible, how can we design the best possible future?
“Ultimately, “Fearless Genius” is not about technology but what you’d be willing to give up to accomplish your dreams.”
