At 6pm tonight, @ShriyaSrinivas3 (@MIT neural engineer) @Mike_Federle (@Forbes CEO) talk about Invention & Reinvention🔬 joinclubhouse.com/event/xewyAXn7 with @johnkwerner @alison_sander cc @thevonwong @lizheller @KunalSood. Turning the “what if” into “what next.” @imaginationxyz 
Musical artist Hayley Reardon kicking things off with some tunes
After @ColbyCollege , @Mike_Federle got his start doing reviews at Kayaking Magazine, then Ziff Davis. The transition from the editorial side to the business side happened quickly. The beginning of reinventing a media brand @Forbes today.
@Forbes bet the ranch (literally) by creating a contributing network of journalists and experts, enabling them to create a newsroom that they couldn’t have done otherwise. Reinforcing business model of building mutual audiences.
@Mike_Federle gives a shoutout to @edyson, past Imagination in Action imaginationinaction.club guest speaker, who was a fact-checker for @Forbes in the early days
After the foundational @Forbes 400, pay attention to the 30 under 30 (20 industries) forbes.com/30-under-30/20…
Audience of 140 million people now expands way beyond the old school archetype of business. So much more focus on #entrepreneurship #music #entertainers #gamers etc. More #women than #men (53%/47%). Demo age dropped by 10 years (into the 40’s).
25 new SPACS launched on a recent Monday 😳
At 23 years old, @edyson didn’t know the difference between a stock and a bond when she started as a fact-checker for @Forbes. Worked there for 3 years - loved being there, learning, and the experience of it all.
Side note - thank you to @Forbes for helping us shine a light on resolving #student #debt. I got to shine a light on that in 2019 forbes.com/sites/forbesbo…
The @Forbes contributor network is more curated than the original @HuffPost open network of contributors
On politics, @Forbes stays in the center and eschews taking a left or right position, as other media outlets have done. Objective appeal to both #Democrats #Republicans and others.
@Mike_Federle doesn't recall asking anyone in his career "will you be my mentor?" but actively does so with others. 💯
"You'll only come across game-changing opportunities a handful of times in your life - the trick is recognizing them." @Mike_Federle was asked by @ericschmidt in the early days to weigh in on this crazy thing these two recent grads were working on in their garage.
@realjflobeatbox lays down an impressive #beatboxing track! I was coincidentally watching @PitchPerfect this a.m.
@Mike_Federle fields Q&A with @KunalSood @swetac @TranshumanInc (from Australia) @thevonwong @LauraMuranaka @hardaway cc @imaginationxyz
Loving the musical interlude from Cory Ppesaturo on the accordion 🪗 and @hayleyreardon on the guitar 🎸 playing "Forgiveness," an original piece!
Now coming onto the stage @ShriyaSrinivas3, a current day "Leonardo da Vinci" & next generation inventor
@ShriyaSrinivas3, a Lemelson prize winner ("Nobel prize" for engineering), shares the huge opportunity for us to apply technology to improve #neuroscience and interface with the human body
@ShriyaSrinivas3 invented a new type of amputation with new tissue architectures (25 patients in the Boston area so far) to overcome the limitations of today's prosthetics and bionics: heavy, complex, expensive, uncomfortable and lack feedback
There are more neurons in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract than in the brain!
@ShriyaSrinivas3 now focused on this. Imagine swallowing a pill to help you control your diet with #electroceuticals. This is #healthtech on a whole new level of existence.
@lizheller with 🧠 crush on @ShriyaSrinivas3 💯 agree
Another 90-second snippet from @hayleyreardon hayleyreardon.com - LOVE THIS
@ShriyaSrinivas3 fielding Q&A, questions coming in fast "Noah's Ark"-style, two at a time, @allenrescue @matthewmj - how technology can improve mental, behavioral, and physical health
@LindaBENKACEM (from France) shares that @ShriyaSrinivas3's work has a global impact, hearing about her and her work in Africa
Rapid fire questions 5 at a time! @RiviaDN @amravatkar @globalcoachtom @RodrigoATCG - @ShriyaSrinivas3 has it in the bag
Last 5 questions to bring us home @RealRahulBajaj @kirkaveritt @thejetlagguy @michaelcmann @umeshthota - thank you all!
