Quest for the Digital Fountain of Youth Awakens “After Life Technology”

Humans, both poor and rich have continued to seek out the greatest quest since the dawn of mankind; how do we stay alive in this world? Fortunately, (or not fortunately) new technologies are emerging both now, including some fascinating developments by leading think tanks, including Stanford. [After Life Technology emerges to store, replicate, and even reanimate the deceased based on the digital data we're emitting every day] Whether you find it creepy, narcissistic, or a thoughtful way to connect with future-generations, this is a choice we’ll all be forced to reckon with.

Chris Adams is a former Hollywood Exec from Participant Media who would “green light” and develop movies like An Inconvenient Truth and Syriana.

How you can be a better conference speaker + how to establish credibility and likeability « Chris Adams Project (CAP)

Chris has strong experience as a conference speaker at film conferences and more recently about social media. He also has strong (often contrarian) views on what makes a good conference speaker. I’m keen to learn from Chris because I do some conference speaking on the topics of How to Work with the Media and Persuasive Communication – and I want to get better. I study and learn from youtube videos of Chris’s presentations – plus I have the advantage of being able to ask him questions directly when we catch up every month or so when we record a batch of videos for the Chris Adams Project. Chris is happy to pass on lessons he has learned over the years including important lessons he has learned from mistakes he has made.

How you can communicate better with both the “creative” types AND the financial “money” people « Chris Adams Project (CAP)

How do you communicate with, persuade and win the trust of “creative” types? Movie exec and Facebook exec Chris Adams has to communicate with both types. He shares tips on how you can adjust your “communication style” so you connect with these two very different styles. In his movie and facebook days, Chris occupied very important “ground” between creative artists, writers and software engineers (who he argues are artists) and the venture capitalists and “money boys” (as he called them). He described himself as a “suit” with a PhD in poetry and a love of storytelling. I was keen to learn from Chris – how to bridge the gap.
