Ok guys today we sit down with my good friend James Blake.

Ok guys today we sit down with Louis Rosenberg.

Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs….I would not be surprised for future generations to be referencing the brilliance of Louis Rosenberg in the same light.

He is an innovator and by that I mean he sees things before they happen.  Not only does he think outside the box and see what could be…but he also makes that vision come into our physical reality.  To be able to see it…and then do it.  Talk about two simple concepts but very few ppl on the planet have done what Louis has done.

In this conversation we get into his journey starting as a kid from Long Island, NY…how he was diagnosed with dyslexia but instead of dwelling on the difficulties of that dx he really leaned into the creative doors that it allowed his mind to open.  Which leads us into his journey West to study at Stanford where he gets his PhD… and then its an exploration of his path thus far… starting companies, creating technology, writing screen plays that have turned into films, and books….

We talk about his latest endeavor which I personally am very excited about called Unanimous AI.  This part of the conversation begins around min 52 for anyone that likes to listen out of order.

Unanimous AI is fascinating because Louis invented the technology to allow humans to leverage the swarm intelligence that is present in Nature.  The possibilities and potential positive contributions to humanity that will come out of this technology is really exciting.

People are smart. We want to connect. We want to belong and contribute to something greater than ourselves in a positive way.  Louis leaned into these truths and listened to nature to build us a technology to access a collective super intelligence.  Thank you sir!
