Fake Lamb, Atlanta, Vision and You
October 2, 2006 – 8:19 amI’m sitting in Atlanta (yes, I was away again!) at a vegetarian Chinese restaurant. Have you eaten at one of these places yet? I’m eating the best lamb you’ve ever tasted. It’s really cool - the menu looks just like a real Chinese food menu, but all the meats are fake. If you haven’t tried one of these places - do! I don’t even like lamb, but I LOVE fake lamb.
I was so excited for my flight to Atlanta. 4 and a half peaceful hours with no children, no phone, no email. Can’t you just picture how nice it was going to be? It’s sad when you start looking forward to a long flight, isn’t it? I was going to read, listen to my iPod, catch up on some work and relax.
But, it didn’t happen. I was sitting next to a man who talked to me for the entire plane ride. Normally, I would have said “Excuse me, I’m going to put on my headphones and read.” But, this guy was so passionate about what he did (and it was pretty interesting) that I just couldn’t tell him to go away. And, if what he was telling me was true, he’s going to be on the cover of Time Magazine in the next couple of years as the man who saved the world.
Rob Brinson is the founder of IntelliScience and he has invented a software program that detects everything from cancer before it’s detectable by anything else to explosives going through airport x-rays to that perfect item you were searching the web for. What he was telling me was both fascinating and frightening. His software program could eradicate drugs in our communities and the transport of people across the borders. But, it does require a fairly big infringement on our personal privacy for it to work. Keep an eye on IntelliScience.
Rob helped me to expand my own personal vision for my business and my life. By sharing his personal vision with me and his dedication to pursue it even when he lost many of his friends and had many people telling him he could never do what he was doing, he kept going. And, now, he is going to change the world.
How can your personal vision expand? Are you ready to think bigger about your business and your life? If so, let me know how I can help.
