]read the first chapter here.
By the way, many thanks for your thoughtful comments that you left in the first
chapter.
It's clear that we are surrounded byrevolutionarieshere at empowr.
I can promise you that each and every comment, each and every word that you
leave is being carefully, read and digested. Thank you!
I'll try and post a new chapter every day when there's not another
announcement.
Chapter 2: My confession
I'm neither a professional writer nor an expert in all of the fields that I
discuss in this book, but I am a pretty good computer scientist who is just
pigheaded enough to believe that he can make the world a better place for
millions of people if he works hard enough, keeps getting back up every time he
gets knocked down, and surrounds himself with the right team.
Before we go any further into what has motivated and driven me and my team so
hard and for so long, I want to make a small confession. I'm not a professional
writer, so I recognize that this book may have shortcomings. I'm not a
political scientist or economist, either, and don't pretend to be an expert in
many of the fields that I write about in these pages. I have great respect for
those people who have a deeper knowledge than I of those areas. To achieve my
goals, however, I don't need to be an expert.
One of the goals of this book is to encourage a lively discussion around the
problems that I present and my proposed solutions. I sincerely hope that
experts, intellectuals, and specialists in each of the referenced fields will
become part of that discussion.
Now that I've been candid about who I am not, I do want to tell you about who
and what I am.
I am a computer scientist that was fortunate to discover at a very early age
that he had a talent (software development) and who was inspired by a handful
of economists, a few self-help gurus, and some psychology theories. Those men
injected big ideas into my head about my own capabilities and motivated me to
pursue a life of purpose (or "self-actualization," as Abraham Maslow calls it)
without self-limiting beliefs. And they did that with impeccable timing:
precisely at a time when I was experiencing monetary success and realizing how
empty that felt because it wasn't accompanied by a strong sense of purpose.
It's worth noting that I was also lucky enough to be born into a family that,
starting with my grandmother, has given away the majority of its wealth to
charitable causes, primarily for the building and operating of orphanages that
have enabled thousands of children to receive a respectable room and board and
a solid education all the way up to and including a higher education. And they
did it quietly and without the usual chest-beating, look-at-me, and
stick-my-name-on-everything fanfare that we've somewhat grown to expect from
philanthropists. If you ever meet my parents or had met my grandmother before
she passed, you'd have a hard time believing the level of their contributions
because of how much humility they possess and how simply they live their lives.
When you have that type of real-life example to look up to in your home, and
then further hit the jackpot when you discover your talent at a young age, you
can't help but feel like you simply don't have the right to live your life in
the service of yourself.
It turns out that pursuing a life of purpose can be a hell of a lot more
difficult than it sounds. But, in setting and pursuing that goal over the
years, I've created a number of businesses designed to make the world better in
the hopes of finding the personal and professional fulfillment that I have been
chasing. That said, I'm not so delusional as to believe that anything my team
and I come up with will change the world overnight or that any of them will be
wonder drugs that cure the world's ailments.
Always faced with the next big challenge or obstacle, my team and I live in
constant fear that not only won't we ultimately succeed, but that we may not
even make it to the next chapter of our evolution. So, with this book, I also
hope to inspire others to pick up the ball if we drop it. We'll gladly share
our experiences, strategies, and even patented technologies.
I know that a bunch of people and companies claim to be open to sharing their
patents and technology; behind closed doors, though, they make sure their
lawyers keep everything locked up tight. I take pride not just in talking the
talk but also in walking the walk when it comes to this aspect of what we do.
For proof of this, please feel free to look at all of the companies that use
our patented technologies but against which we are not pursuing any form of
legal action, including Facebook, Twitter, and virtually all social media
platforms in existence today. If they offer third-party application developers
the ability to launch apps in their platforms; or utilize transactions, a
credit system, virtual currency, conduct transactions over mobile devices (or
any of a few dozen other critical technologies that are essential to their
revenue models and existence), they are using technologies that we invented and
patented.
To review our patents for yourself, simply visit www.Google.com/Patents and
enter my last name (Pousti) into the search field.
The primary reason for our strategy is not generosity or altruism; rather, it's
selfishness. We freely share our intellectual property because we believe, in
doing so, our own personal and professional goals will be achieved more quickly
and thoroughly. And for us, achieving those goals is more important than the
money and prestige that could come from monopolizing our patents and
technology.
Thank you for purchasing this book and taking the time to read it. I've
purposely written it in a concise format. Most of the people interested in
reading a book like this are consumed by their own projects; reading a long
book is a luxury they can't always afford. So I've edited each section down to
bite-size. Even the busiest person should be able to find time to flip through
it. I have also encapsulated my key concepts in the titles and topic paragraphs
of each section.
I very much hope that you get a lot out of the reading experience and that, by
the end, you will share at least a small part of my passion for what the empowr
team and I are trying to accomplish. Perhaps you'll even gain some inspiration
and launch your own start-up, which would delight me and my team. So, with
these caveats behind me, I'll give you the quick and dirty on what you're going
to read about.
