But you do not need to be a genius, lucky, rich or powerful to have a profound impact on our world. All you need is an idea and the determination to make it happen.

A natural born leader, an athlete with good looks and charm, he appeared to be the all-American kid pursuing his dreams. Underneath this facade, however, was an addict in the early stages of disease. After suffering childhood sexual abuse by a babysitter at the age of nine, Damon began putting chemicals into his body to alter the way he felt.

Adaptation until now has been incremental with governments and institutions tinkering around the edges of current systems. This will not be enough.

Should people be encouraged to move away from the coast?

The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now.

With everything at our fingertips, how do we stay relevant and thrive in a competitive new world? Today, the status quo has become a career hazard.
