I really enjoyed talking to Rickard and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too

Key take aways

• Innovators are optimists by nature, but pessimists are not always wrong and this conflict is positive for corporations
• Don't let pessimism darken your life and prevent you from enjoying it
• Our view of the world is biased by mass media cycles. Stop sharing shit!
• The killer application of connectivity is bringing everyone online and nothing anyone behind
• Disrupting predatory or abusive business models through innovation is the best way to help society
