Exponential Technology
Mark has spent much of his career taking action in many sectors of exponential technologies, so that they can be a force for good. Our goal as humanity should be to create a future of abundance for all.
Mark studied under Dr. Peter Diamandis for 7 years. Peter founded Singularity University, XPRIZE, and Abundance 360, and is a leading thinker in exponential tech and exponential entrepreneurship. Mark has been part of Abundance 360, which is an invitational CEO network and a community of those who are using exponential technologies to create a world of humanity’s full potential.
The above photo shows Mark and LifeGuides giving an Abundance 360 member spotlight presentation. Ultimately, LifeGuides was the Global Grand 1st Prize Winner of Abundance 360’s Impact Challenge, a competition among Abundance 360 members.
Mark also worked with Barbara Marx Hubbard in writing the forthcoming book Living in Exponential Creativity: The Future of Entrepreneurship, which outlines how exponential and entrepreneurial co-creation will help advance the evolution of our species.
Mark and LifeGuides Accepting the Abundance 360 Impact Challenge Global Grand 1st Prize
In 2019, Peter Diamandis awarded Mark and LifeGuides the Global Grand 1st Prize for the Impact Challenge from Singularity University and the exponential leadership organization Abundance 360.
LifeGuides received this award given its exponentially scalable solution to optimize humanity's largest "asset," which is our life experience, wisdom and empathy. As compared to actually being an exponential technology (like AI or Crispr), LifeGuides is a model of using many existing exponential technologies.

Mark was a featured member of Abundance 360 and had the opportunity to share how LifeGuides will help humanity accelerate empathy.
Mark has studied devotedly with Singularity University since 2014. He received a diploma in Exponential Technologies and Exponential Entrepreneurship based on his studies with Dr. Diamandis and an esteemed faculty of thought leaders.
As adapted from the diploma, there are 6 values guiding the exponential mindset:
We are creating a future of abundance that is bright, equitable, and leaves no one behind.
We are not bystanders. We act with purpose, leveraging exponential technologies to definitively solve humanity’s greatest challenges.
We lead courageously and set an example for changing the world. We do no harm and refuse to compromise others for our own benefit. Our passion for the well-being of humanity drives our action.
We are a community of inclusion, collaboration, and deep connection in which every individual is integral to success and the greatest ideas are often those never heard before.
We cultivate a critical mindset that is empathetic, understanding, and respectful of all points of view. We make decisions based on evidence and logic which push boundaries and redefine possibility.
We take Moonshots, thinking big and taking risks to solve problems and impact billions of lives. We believe that big dreams, strong collaboration, and powerful tools create an unstoppable force for good.
Break-Through Technology & Sustainability Impact Keynote at Babson College
