Mick Ebeling: It's Possible at Not Impossible. Real Life Motivation with Time Magazine's Top 50 Inventors

<p>Mick Ebeling founded Not Impossible, a multiple award-winning social innovation lab and production company, on the premise that nothing is impossible. His mantra of “commit, then figure it out” allows him to convene a disparate team of hackers, doers, makers and thinkers to create devices that better the world by bringing accessibility for all. This unconventional approach brought to life highly acclaimed initiatives -- the EyeWriter, Project Daniel, Don’s Voice and most recently Music: Not Impossible -- that brought the ability to draw back to a paraplegic street artist, 3D-printed arms to Sudanese amputees, a ‘voice’ to an ALS patient who hadn’t spoken in 15 years, and wearables that let deaf and hearing people alike feel music in a “surround body” experience.</p> <p>Ebeling’s book, Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn't Be Done, recounts the life experiences that led to the founding of Not Impossible. Published in a multitude of languages, the book was hailed as “a unique and inspiring tale of brave abandon” by Nicholas Negroponte.</p> <p>Key Takeaways:</p> <ol> <li>Staying true to values and ethics is important when facing challenges</li> <li>The company exists to create technology for the sake of humanity</li> <li>Despite difficulties, they have remained committed to their mission</li> <li>An opportunity presented itself and they took it, despite initial hesitation</li> <li>Helping even one person can make a difference and ego should not get in the way</li> <li>To learn more about the company, visit notimpossible.com or their social media channels.</li> <li>Everything we see or touch was once impossible.</li> <li>They helped someone without any agenda and it became Time Magazine's top 50 inventions. </li> <li>People want clarity and collaboration in advertising.</li> <li>The focus is on telling stories of real people making a difference in the world.</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>Follow Not Impossible Labs on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/notimpossible">https://twitter.com/notimpossible<
