There is a high likelihood that most of the greatest, life-changing, and transformational ideas never see the light of day. This is because many people are too afraid or do not know how to act on their ideas and it's likely that most of those life-changing ideas will come from advancements in technology. To get those ideas to the forefront, we desperately need to change our current system and allow for the best ideas to make it out of the idea stages. How do we do this? We need to deconstruct and redesign how our great ideas receive attention by bringing these advanced technologies into reality through collaboration.

Have you ever experienced a life altering moment? An accident, a cancer scare, or the sudden loss of a loved one? Suddenly everything that is important comes into focus. Like life has slowed down to a crawl and clarity is the byproduct. Many of you have had these experiences, while others have not, and yet, until you do, you never truly know what is real and what isn't. Who your real friends are, who is going to show up when you're down, answer your call when everything is broken, or show up to the hospital when you're sick or unconscious. 

Today, we were going to talk about what that looks like. When you lose everything, and you've surrounded yourself with people who aren't really in it for you, people that leave you undelivered in your darkest moments. But better than that, we’re going to talk about redemption. How you can rise from the ashes and thrive again. This could be your story, and for our next guest, it is his story. Brian Esposito is a true rags to riches story that could have ended in unfortunate tragedy, but ended up being a wake-up call that has led to new blessings and opportunities. He is the founder and CEO of Esposito Intellectual Enterprises that currently has over 65 entities within it and over 150 joint ventures that have been accumulated around the world over the last 20 years. In 2020, he was named as one of the World’s Top 10 CEO’s. Although these are impressive, he would argue that none of these are his greatest triumph. No, coming back from a tragic and near-death experience put things in perspective and would be his greatest accomplishment to date.
