- Welcome back everyone.

I'm Alison Berman.

Right now, I have a very special guest,

named by Fortune Magazine,

one of the World's Fiftieth Greatest Leaders

and a really successful serial entrepreneur,

the co-founder and executive chairman

of Singularity University and Xprise,

Peter Diamandis, it's such a pleasure to have you here.

- Thank you, great to be here.

- So Peter, you have more passion and motivation

for your work than almost anyone I've ever met.

And I mean that sincerely.

- Thank you.

- What is it that sustains and fuels this level of passion?

- So that's interesting right

and I talk to people about the fact

that if you connect with your passion

and you're, as an entrepreneur,

that you can actually bulldoze down any obstacles,

you can sustain yourself through the multi-death experience

that you're gonna have.

If you're going to do anything big in the world

and so for me, I'm very lucky.

I connect with my passion as a child.

My first passion was space wipe.

It was Apollo and Star Trek that got me started

and it was this desire to wanna go into space

and this fundamental belief

that I was going to be able to be a part of that.

Right it was,

Apollo showed what was now possible.

I mean, for God's sakes, we were going to the moon.

I mean, we were on the - Yes.

- On the frigging moon

and then Star Trek showed what was going to happen

and that sort of two part just got me so excited

and I just got,

I felt early on

that I could exhibit that enthusiasm

and I started becoming an entrepreneur.

My first organization ever,

was an organization called SEJ Students

for the Exploition of Development and Space.

I started at MIT.

Jeff Bazos was running the chapter at Princeton University

and went great.

Then I started a university.

My first University, SU, a very proud

is modeled after International Space University

and so I realized I was at my best

when a few things happened

One, when I was tapped into my passion

and two; when I let it shine through.

When I gave permission for me to say

It's amazing.

We live in the most amazing world

and it's the most amazing time to be alive

and we're going to the stars.

We're extending human life span.

We're doing all these things.

- And when you say it, people feel it.

- And it's cause it's authentic.

It comes from my heart. - It is.

- And we really are living in the most extraordinary time,

so, I'm working on my 19th startup

and I've had some amazing fun adventures,

and anything I do has gotta be truly from the heart

and the soul, otherwise, I'm gonna, I'm not gonna care.

If the love isn't there, it's never gonna thrive.

- Completely.

It's like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

You're in touch with your purpose.

- Yeah.

- And so is there a current moonshot, you're most focused on

I know at Xprise, the current competition

started by storytelling, Google (mumbles), they're amazing

but is there one you really have your focus on.

- So I have a few.

I mean, one of them, we're gonna be,

I'm going to be going on stage here at the SU Global Summit.

Those of you who are not here,

come here next year.

It's an amazing.

This is like TED for Science and Technology.

All exponentials all the time.

Su.org, check it out.

Join us okay.

I'm gonna be going back on stage

and I'm gonna be bringing on stage with me,

Chris Lewicki, who's the CEO of Planetary Resources.

Bob Richards, the CEO of Moon Express.

And Erica Wagner from Blue Origin

and so it's been great.

So I'm madly in love

with what we're doing in Planetary Resources.

We are building AI enabled deep space space craft,

that are going out to near earth asteroids

to prospect them and then mine hydrogen and oxygen from them

water and ice and fuel.

So that's great.

So space has been and always will be one of my primary FOSI

and then the other is longevity.

Opening up space is slower than I wanted it to be.

I'm gonna have to live longer than expected.

So I'm working on a couple companies

in the stem cell business.

Just launched a new company called Cellularity.

Just raised $100 million.

It's a stem cell roll up.

I believe stem cells are the means

by which we're going to extend the healthy human life span

and then I'm working in partnership with SU

on something called Abundance 360 Digital.

- [Alison] Yeah.

- And I've created a year long curriculum

for entrepreneurs who wanna follow my work,

who wanna get, you know literally day by day

teaching from me.

So my goal is, can I light up initially 10,000 entrepreneurs

My moonshot is a million entrepreneurs.

And give them the tools, the mindset, the energy,

to go out there and go big.

So anybody interested in that,

it's a360.digital.

is the website weird for that

and so I've created a year long curriculum

It's in the SU family of content,

where you continue this learning.

So ultimately, it's really about igniting entrepreneurs,

helping them shape their moon shots,

encourage their moon shots

and supporting them to go after their moon shots.

- And so speaking about the entrepreneur's journey

and you said you founded 19 companies,

has there been a moment

that was pretty challenging to overcome?

Like one you look back on

that's been an overcoming of something

that's really pivotal to your career.

- Every one of them has ...

Nothing's been easy, right.

It all looks easy a decade later.

I like to say it's a overnight success

after ten ears of hard work.

- I love that.

- And so, you look at folks like Jeff Bezos,

look at folks like Elon Musk,

they all have their incredible near death experiences.

I mean, Elon's got an amazing one

where in 2008, he's going through a divorce,

SapceX just had it's third failure,

the government is not funding anything

and he's borrowing money to survive

and then all of a sudden there's a turnaround,

so for me, in every company,

in Planetary Resources, in Xprise, and SU,

every company's got that.

And so unless, going back to our original conversation,

unless you love, love, love what you do,

and what you're doing,

unless you're driven by

that internal massively transformative purpose,

their heart and soul,

you're gonna give up before you succeed.

- The near death experience will be.

- Yeah it'll happen.

Another friend of mine, Bill Gross,

who is one of the most amazing entrepreneurs in the world,

Bill gave a great TED talk, you can look it up

and also a DLD talk which he said he looked at 200 companies

a hundred that succeed to a hundred that failed.

And he said what caused these to succeed and these to fail

and he categorized the elements

and at the end of the talk, he said,

when you look at the data, right,

always be looking at the data,

when he looked at the data,

it wasn't how much money they'd raised,

their previous experience in the successes or failure,

what technology, the size of the market.

Do yo know what it was?

It was - Their mindset?

That's part of it.

It's timing.

It was their timing.

It was that they were living long enough to live forever.

So it was Airbnb and Uber were alive just at the right time.

After 2008, when people were looking for extra income.

There had been experiments of that before that failed.

SpaceX was there after the shuttle was shut down

to take that over.

So at the end of the day,

being smart, having enough money,

having a great business plan, all that's great,

but unless the timing is there.

So one of the things I really tell people

is if you're driven by your passion,

you're gonna stick with it long enough to succeed,

- And that the time will.

- You'll intercept the right timing.

Right, so it may take you five, eight, ten years

but if you care about it,

if you love it,

if you're doing it because it's your highest calling in life

and not just because you're trying to make a quick buck,

you'll stick around long enough and intercept the timing.

- And so, you're a pioneer of abundance thinking,

the idea that technology can take what's scarce

and make it abundant.

I would say that that's an idea

that will take fundamental principle of today

and make it untrue in the future.

Is there another fundamental principle

that we currently live in

that you think technology will break in the future?

- Yeah, I think there's a number.

I think privacy is one.

- Okay.

- I think that, listen I want privacy as much as anybody

but I think we'e heading towards a post privacy economy

or post privacy world.

Why?

Because we're heading to a world

of a trillion sensors by 2020,

a hundred trillion sensors by 2030

and you know an AI watching me right now

without the volume on can read my lips, read your lips.

We're going to be able to shake you hand like this,

grab a few skin cells and sequence you

and know everything that's true about your background.

There'll be space-based drone-based imagery

imaging everything all the time

or timeless cars with light R imaging.

So it's going to be very hard to have any time

that something isn't known.

Privacy will become a fleeting element of our lives.

We're heading towards a post capitalist society

where money's going to have less and less value,

much more alike the Star Trek universe.

If I've got a molecular replicator in the future result

and I wanna print a Ferrari,

it's gonna be the raw cost of the materials,

the energy for printing and the information set.

So everything is demonetizing.

So a lot of change coming.

- Yes. - A lot of change.

- And so before we wrap.

- Yeah.

- Next generation, who is your favorite character?

- Oh God, so

- That's a hard one?

- You know I mean. listen

I head towards Bacard but he's the older bald guy, you know,

so Riker is definitely a thumbs up

and I have to, you know I love Data.

He's very

- It's hard not to.

- Yeah it's hard not to.

- Peter, thank you so much.

What a pleasure.

- Thank you. - Thank you

- A pleasure.

Kansas State University | Collaborating with The National Theatre of Ghana - Duration: 1:24.

These are the professional dancers in Ghana.

Dream is not even the right word … it was amazing.

I had such a great time.

We've been trying for over ten years to teach and do a cultural exchange.

It started first with meetings, and what's significant about the 2016 trip is we went

from just meeting to teaching and sharing and performing with each other.

Adding that element of traveling not only to visit The National Theatre – which is

an incredible space – but, dancing in the space and sharing in the space.

And they have fully embraced us, and want to learn from us, and we want to learn from

them.

So, the next step, it's time for The National Theatre to come to K-State.

Our time together in 2016 was incredible and I know that they want to come – and we want

them to come.

So, we here at K-State need to make that happen.

Kansas State University | Collaborating with The Dagara Music Center in Ghana - Duration: 2:23.

Our first trip to Africa was in 2008.

We planned this to go to The Dagara Music Center.

And it was while I was there that I saw the potential for African music and dance at K-State.

That's where it all started.

The DMC was established in the year 2000.

And the idea of the DMC is to bring culture, art and people together.

You can learn dancing, you can learn about all aspects of the culture in Ghana, and in

Western Africa.

And you meet people and spend time together and exchange culturally.

Our basic idea is to develop the potential of artists who may not have the opportunity

to become academics to go to higher school.

But in the meantime, they're very talented.

They use their bodies as tools, they use their training as artists – like the kente weaving.

So, I wanted to harness all of this potential from the youth in this community … and bring

them to a place of organized learning.

So we can share our talent, our knowledge, with people.

Seeing how everything was run at the Dagara Music Center, I saw the potential for the

source of material – I knew that there was going to be a wealth of things that I could

study, that it would take developing a long-term relationship before I could foster those things.

Thanks to the long-term relationship, we have not only added courses that K-State students

and faculty participate in, we have a successful West African dance and music ensemble that

performs not only on campus but out in the community.

And that ensemble is growing, and growing, and growing, and growing.

I think it opens their eyes up to the world and gives them different perspective on how

people live and what their life is about – and just connecting with people … that students

in Kansas normally wouldn't have access to otherwise.
