What is the biggest opportunity about being in SA that most people don't realise?

the untapped energy that is in heaving stasis under the surface of this land.

The Cocktail Party Question - "what do you do?"

Apart from Epiphany, I currently lecture at UCT on globalization, innovation and the attention economy. Champion the radical idea that it IS possible to do good and do good business (!) through supporting and developing a host of Open Culture (open-source) ventures, online and realworld.

I develop blended-reality learning environments, thinktanks and innovation spaces online and offline to challenge hardwired learned helplessness. I offer practical tools to bridge into the future.

My passion project is creating Urban Co.labs for co-working and lifelong/leisure learning with some of the planet's pioneers in open systems who I believe are changing the shape of our world.

or The Existential Question - "who am I?"

Hunter of Genius: Not genius defined by a Stanford-Binet number, but by a visionary capacity, good taste in problems, the ability to forge unusual creative connections, the brave foolishness to fail gloriously and generosity of spirit to build something beyond personal gain.

I specialise in connecting and conducting intelligence. Particularly powering up the networks between those who have the capacity and fearlessness to believe in impossible things that may well illuminate the path into an enlightened generation to come.
