257: Guy Perelmuter — Reshaping The World Through Technology

New technologies are coming up everyday and it’s difficult to keep up. However, this actually has been true in our society for thousands of years. Our guest shares a couple of interesting history lessons about how our technology has developed over the years and why it makes sense that we’ve finally arrived -here-. 

 

Guy Perelmuter is the Founder of GRIDS Capital, a deep tech venture capital firm focusing on artificial intelligence, robotics, life sciences, and technological infrastructure. His new book, Present Future, was recognized as the Best Science Book of 2020. Guy is a first-generation Brazilian, having had both of his parents migrate to Brazil to escape world war 2. 

 

Things are changing really fast and we’re entering a new era of deep technology. Our society can now leverage 3d printing, robotics, machine learning, and self-driving vehicles are within our reality. In Guy’s book, Present Future, he provides context as to how our technology is both helping us, but also damaging the planet if we’re not careful. 

 

If you think things have evolved quickly over the past 4-5 decades, wait till we’re 3-4 decades into the future. It will be a brand new world that you will not recognize. Things will be getting even wilder and faster.

About the Podcast

Scaling Up Business Podcast
Scaling Up Business is all about how a few companies make it...and why the rest don’t. Our podcast shows are drawn from the lessons of our coaching clients, coaching partners, and the leading authors that contribute to our Conferences and the Scaling Up best selling book by Verne Harnish, and the Team at Gazelles.

We’ll share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities that come with scaling up a venture.

We want to turn what can feel like an anchor, into the wind at your back — helping you create a business where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money.

Each episode of the Scaling Up Business show focuses on one of the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. We'll share the tools and methods that have been used by more than 40,000 firms around the globe to scale their companies successfully -- many to $1 billion and beyond.

Running a business is ultimately about freedom. The Scaling Up Business show tells leaders how to get their organizations moving in sync, to create something significant, and still enjoy the ride.
