Meanwhile, Taiwan has now gone 200 days without any domestically transmitted cases of covid. (Yes, it’s a small island. But effective management matters).

2020 has been a brutal year for the wine industry. I know I'm living it. Fires destroyed crops, smoke tainted juice and #covid shut down restaurants, bars, airlines and many points of distribution. Still many of us were able to grow our businesses by making the great digital pivot and selling direct from our wineries in #california to our customers in over 40 states, and maybe win a few awards along the way! #innovation #entrepreneurship #digital #marketing …see more

Just minutes ago, my dad sent me this photo at Kobe's Mamba Sports Academy, where Kobe was reportedly on his way with his daughter in the helicopter. The academy is in my hometown and my little brother has played tournaments there. All games have been cancelled. Kobe was one of those icons who influenced people of all ages. He not only did so much for the basketball community, but also inspired others to strive for excellence. He was an example of how to utilize your influence for the good of others. He will be missed.

Igniter of the Year 2016. Well I know that I'm an optimist. I'm an idealist. I see a world different than the one we live in today. Imagine a world where the vast majority of us feel inspired to go to work, feel safe when we're there, and return home at the end of each day feeling fulfilled. I believe fulfillment must not be a luxury for the lucky few. Fulfillment is our human right. When I come across someone who, not only shares in this vision, but they advance it in a hugely meaningful, significant and impactful way, I want to recognize, honor and thank them. I'm so delighted to present the Igniter of the Year Award to Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40. Some of my team members and I got to surprise him with the award this afternoon in San Diego. Inspire on!! Together, we can change our world. #startwithwhy #ignite #igniter #igniteroftheyear #igniteroftheyear2016 #WD40 …see more

I took this image from the center of #Greenland while working on the documentary series #ProjectEarth for Discovery Inc There was no life there, not even a single insect. We were completely dependent on helicopter food drops. Once it stormed for four days in a row and we were cut off. This picture happen an hour after the storm broke. The human guiding in the chopper looks so fragile and insignificant on the vast moonscape of ice. …see more

It takes a genius, someone who is strong-headed to ignore all naysayers, with delusional self-conviction and iron-will of determination to make this happen despite all odds. Very few are born that way, made that way. Congratulations Elon Musk and Tesla . …see more
