Quick! Connect Someone!

This my great friend Kimberley and me looking chuffed on my first day in Bali. Our fortnight there was so full of fascinating experiences and great work outcomes, wonderful conversations, incredible food, exploring (❤️North Bali), learning, hugs, grins, kindness, new friends, increasing mutual understanding and of course increasing ESP / shared intuition as has happened for both of us for years. To truly, unconditionally love and understand another gives such richness to and gratitude in life.

As I deepen friendships and let some friendships go, I’m reflecting on the incredible gift given in introducing and recommending someone to another. The gift of your intuition, a gift of possible deep understanding, of a combination of shared interests and fascinations.

Introducing someone is so special. These days it’s so easy – a message between people on Facebook messenger, LinkedIn messages, email,… sometimes it’s as simple as ~

“You two are awesome. Coffee! 😄“

Highly relevant, curated experiences, insight and people is what can make face to face and online experiences so rich. Help others to find their people.

I’ve also reflected on the awe-inspiring steps it took to meet someone as special as Kimberley and how it might have not happened.

Thankyou to Priscilla who introduced me to Gravbrot Lodge in the 90’s, to Barb & Randy Reusch, the Boxers and Paul for the inspiration to do Mark Impey’s skiing clinic in ’09 in Red Mountain (where I met Kimberley), to Michel for her Bali haven, to K’s Dad for his integrity (inspiration) and to Ms Kim for her everything. x

What has enthralled and delighted you online recently?

Enjoy these gems ~
Nick’s engaging LinkedIn profile. Could it be because of the deep blue image? 😁

I’ll be watching this one again [thanks Rossco and Eddie]. Chris Dancy on taking your devices to another level.

On the way out of Bali a lot of ash went into the air and my flight was delayed so I was attracted to this image with the “STUCK IN BALI” heading. It was great to see officials, businesses and locals trying to provide clear advice on what to do while it was unclear when the airport would re-open. Quick pickup headings like this work so well.

Enjoy the *connections*,

Ways to feel happy about your future.

Elon Musk says his massive visions are all about not wanting to feel sad about the future. He suggests people need things in our future to feel excited about (such as the real possibility of a civilisation on Mars). Such simple perspective that’s leading to significant global progress, innovation and inspiration.

“Fundamentally, the future is vastly more exciting and interesting if we are a spacefaring civilisation and a multi-planet species”

“You want to be inspired by things, to wake up in the morning and think that the future is going to be great. And that’s what being a spacefaring civilisation is all about.”

His insights have inspired me across topics from entrepreneurialism to intentional visions to being playful while aiming high – perhaps they will for you too via this easy YouTube playlist. Press play and watch each one.

One of the fascinating things is that Tesla’s mission is about influencing the industry (not just selling cars) and if they fail, they’ll have influenced other car manufacturers to progress their sustainable energy cars.

He recently promoted GM making electric cars:

Elon’s Top 5 Areas for Humanity.

The five areas Elon sees as important to work on now for humanity:
  1. Doing Artificial Intelligence (AI) “in a good way”
  2. Reprogramming genetics – including higher bandwidth to the brain.  Whoah.
  3. Self driving cars
  4. Sustainable energy
  5. The Internet

One for the history books!

Since we reuse airplanes, we might as well reuse rockets! Go SpaceX!

Favourite reads & listens

  • “Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy” by Adam Grant and Sheryl Sandberg is a guide for being a great human, a great friend, to those going through the grief of losing a loved one and tips for people who are directly going through mourning. There were snippets in there about resilience and adversity that could apply to other aspects of life though it was predominantly about Sheryl’s story of her husband unexpectedly dying at 47 years old and how she coped and performed with the help of supportive colleagues at Facebook, friends and family and includes the wisdom that helped. An emotional rollercoaster and a book for life that I recommend. 6 hour listen on Audible.
  • Melburnians – Dior is here ’til 7 November. The scale of this exhibition at NGV is brilliant as is seeing the House through the years. Worth a couple of hours. If you’ve seen the Dior and I documentary you’ll enjoy the familiarity. I was mesmerised by this Autumn/Winter 2017 show on the big screen:

  • Simple, short watch to support you and the other high achievers you know.
  • Ski like a girl talk by Lynsey Dyer. Lynsey started She Jumps which teaches girls and kids to: Find your own magnificence and sense of belonging through: 1. Have a goal 2. Lighten up on yourself 3. Be your own best friend 4. Listen to your intuition 5. Accept all the parts of yourself.   
  • My new airpods are as excellent as people say they are. Effortlessly (so fast) changing and connecting  between computer, watch and phone, and comfortable. Ohhhh yeahhh….
  • Enhancing Human Intelligence (HI) via a chip in your brain. What’s possible? Bryan Johnson provides food for thought and insight.
  • “Work should light a fire in your soul!” Go Tina.

Great online presence

  • It was wonderful to be part of Type.Human‘s launch today. Get in touch with them if the idea has you curious.
  • Oh NASA, of course, you’re AMAZING!
