How we can change the world together

I want to start off introducing myself so that you understand how, together, we can change the world.

Lucas, my editor in this big adventure of producing online content, says that changing the world is too big of a thing and that people won’t get it. But I’ll insist on changing the planet with you.

I am, by training, a Journalist. And I was officially a journalist for almost 30 years — curious minds obviously tend to drift off and never are a single thing at once, but we’ll look into that another time. I’m now a specialist in mental, behavioral, and emotional health. I am, by vocation, passionate about bringing compassion to the world. In search of answers to the dilemmas of conflicts, hardships, differences, and unnecessary suffering, I became an eternal student of behaviors to bring about compassion.

I’m extremely rigorous in my research and studies. I want to talk about it to place you facing a new map: the global map of communications, from where most of the world’s information comes from.

When I co-created the Repórter Eco show in 1992, which was the first television program to tackle issues such as ecology, environment and sustainability, the most powerful way to spread a thought, a lifestyle, a solution or a doubt about how to lead our lives on this planet was the TV.

Nowadays, the Internet allows us one of the most extraordinary things ever. With intelligence, wisdom, and conscience, you can throw out there on the net an idea, a question, a solution, and help thousands of people with their fears, their frustrations, or even answer questions that were never answered before.

So, here I am at more than 50-years old and trying to put out there in this good web the information I’ve collected throughout my life. Incredible research, classes, and all types of educational experiences from all around the world. Radical experiences with my body, always with two things in mind: ethics and the desire to share what I read, see and study from scientists and the so-called life experiencers.

I believe myself to be a good translator for complex understandings. I’m able to learn, use, practice, and then pass it on in a simpler way, believing that you too can live great experiences.

When we tell a story to an unlimited number of people, we simply receive much more than a new path — we actually get to exchange knowledge with thousands of people that didn’t exist before in our lives.

That, to me, is the most incredible thing of life.

When we have the possibility to interact with people from all over the planet, we leave our little world and go on to become an extraordinary aggregation of ideas, knowledge, tests, feelings all else a huge number of people are able to do together.

Dr. Sanders is a doctor from the University of Yale and she’s a consultant and the inspiration for the show House. She’s one of the world-leading scientists in unexplained diagnosis. She considers herself sort of like a Sherlock Holmes of Medicine. I’m telling you this because even she, one of the world’s most acknowledged doctors, uses the Internet as a way to reach a larger number of people and to rely on experiences from all around the world from people who she couldn’t possibly meet on her office.

In this instance, the distances are eliminated and the dreams, possibilities, and sometimes answers happen, precisely because we’re in a global communication network.

One of the most important things in Medicine at the time of diagnostics is the meeting of several doctors with different expertise in a room with the patient. What’s essential is knowing who is in that room. What Dr. Sanders proposes in Medicine is absolutely fantastic. She abandoned this “office” space and let it transform into a gigantic room of unlimited space. The more people, the more experience.

What I propose for my work today is precisely that. I want to invite you to research with me ways to scale our possibilities of living better in our work and our life. Just imagine, you may have observed some things even further and now we can chat over it and share it with everybody! I think that sharing, collaborating, exchanging are all possibilities of changing the world. By now, Lucas is writhing on the ground desperate because, in addition to wanting to change the planet I actually invite you along for the ride. Lol

I really believe crowdsourcing, that way for creating or producing something bases on collective knowledge to develop solutions and create products is our big encounter. I mean, hundreds of minds and experiences are better than a single one.

Are you with me on this?
