we’re running out of time
yes we are running out of time and the
trouble is I think we have lots of it
time to make new friends time to explore
new careers x 2 xored changing our lives
what happens however is life happens new
jobs very you know kids we have that
first mortgage and the weight of what we
become exchange difficult I’m a death
and the owner of a black lab named
Pretty Boy Floyd and also a marketing
professor researcher a teacher and I
work with a lot of students and I’m
worried about them they’re trained to
become almost too successful focus
singular pathway of study captive to
their major and through this they become
what I mean by that your school they’ve
been I didn’t hurt it by strictly
defined rules and guidelines befall
lubbers and I get that eight plus a
project or a paper you know that ten
steps to success and through this they
become resistant to change all through
school
they take the classes they pursue their
major and then they graduate and they
enter what we call the real world and
life and change for that matter is not
comfortable instruction in this harmonic
that for that many of these digital
natives born after 1995 their dream jobs
of tomorrow we not even see the job
today for them when the Indian college
in the safe compounds of the campus it’s
all about change upon change upon change
I worry about the only people like me to
since 2007 I’ve had this recurring dream
of me as some middle-aged buying the
classroom trying to teach you stuff to
internet-savvy millennial and Gen Z
students so in this dream of mine and
this is where it gets really good I see
myself desperately clinging to the rock
face of relevancy as I slowly slide this
dream of mine was stained ramen began
back in 2007 by 2007 2007 was the year a
squad reached 50 million users today by
comparison
one third of humanity when 2.2 billion
people have Facebook accounts 2007 was
here YouTube celebrated his first
birthday 2007 was the year of people
began tweeting on Twitter 2007 was near
computing became a thing an apple
introduced is simply put we’re living in
a time of exponential active celebration
where everything is changing and really
fast everything including the babies
socialize the way we eat people the way
we date them waiting
we commute the way we travel we source
food is a crazy high and in fact if you
think about the pace the exponential
pace of the changes of Technology for
the first time in history that
exponential pace of technological
changes outpacing our more linear and
human ability to adapt to these changes
so how do we cope and adapt one way is
through in the ignition
personal reinvention in this age of
acceleration 250 years ago we saw well I
didn’t see because I’m not at all but
again that’s one revolution the
development of the printing press
we saw the Wright brothers being flanked
and before the Model T and the advent of
motorized travel that was 250 years ago
just in the last two decades we’ve seen
a lot more this is thing called the
internet happen you have the Internet of
Things where our kitchen appliances talk
to each other and engage in my apartment
manner without from the step is a
household term uttered bicycles at the
dinner table the app the smartphone our
computers that sent the first rockets to
the moon this all hit me like a brick
one night in Amsterdam I was sitting in
a cafe in Amsterdam with the colleague
of mine from Northeastern University in
Boston
she has just gotten her new I thought it
was back in 2007 then no-flip earpiece
those stubby antennae you know loves to
push it was just a sneaky design thing
that fit in the palm of my hands
slightly bigger than a deck of cards so
I pushed in hope instead of swiping and
revolutionary radical change that I held
in the palm of my hand what amazing was
I was able to watch Michael on the new
blue Patriots of the greatest
all I’ve got radical change was the site
yeah this period all in yesterday and I
also learned how to navigate the city
the primary form of transportation
they’re worried what if I got hit by a
car
what am I get a car what if I buy one of
those trams that are seemingly
everywhere what if I get a person
crossing the street well spoiler alert
none of these things happen but I’ve
learned that worrying about all of these
things that could have happened didn’t
necessarily make me a better cyclist
navigating Amsterdam yeah navigating
Amsterdam out of I did teach me that and
why I was capable of figuring things out
and overcoming obstacles while moving
sometimes pretty fast and technology is
moving really fast and you love it is
there something missing this piece book
post was written I am a child is part of
an elementary school writing project the
assignment was tell me about an
invention even like and the child rights
if I had to tell you what invention I
don’t like I would say I don’t like the
phone I don’t like the phone because my
parents are on their phone every day Oh
sometimes I’m really bad I hate my mom’s
phone then I wish you never had I can
say if we say that the equal change in
my life is not going to occur through my
phone
speaking of change tick tick tick if
you’re 25 years old you have 1.5 billion
second stuff I’m ninety two thousand
three hundred forty five days if you’re
45 years old give 1 million seconds for
just over twelve thousand days what do
we do with our remaining time you go to
school we get jobs you do a bunch of
other stuff we did watch Desperate
and all along the way we notice the the
fascinating lives that other people seem
to be living you know friends colleagues
people we don’t even though those surf
trips to Fiji those pricey scheming
vacations in Mammoth those family
vacations in Tuscany it’s all documented
on our Facebook pages right now we’re
obsessing with smoke detector battery at
home or you need more paper towels the
point of this is that our lives are the
one big thing we have in this world
you’re the boss of your life I am the
boss of my life and you’re the loss of
our lives and our lives are a series of
odyssey’s and admissions I experienced
my first in reinvention and evident
Wiese some would say I had my first
midlife crisis I was an earth-based
engineer aerospace engineer working in
Florida for United Technologies it’s a
company that makes everything from
alligators and air conditioners to
complex jet engine systems for
commercial and defensive aircraft and
yes we did this kind of man there’s a
lot of fun but I was one of two thousand
other engineers at this company and I
decided it wasn’t something I wanted to
do for the rest of my life so I decided
to move back home to my hometown of
Detroit spend time with my mom I start
with the engineering thing and got a job
in a division of General Motors I am NOT
a big meeting person and in this job
there were a lot of meetings
literally I fell asleep with one head on
the table jewel on the chin and decided
right there and then well after waking
up that I was in move Australia – sounds
familiar it’s just on the edge of the
outback
so looking for a kind of cattle station
pick mangoes is about your worker that
was my first real crazy attempt at the
well ideas only lasted six go so I had
to come home without a job back home I
did a pit I committed to painting the
rest of my life on a fresh clean canvas
and I’m letting my dream job and
athletic court we’re designing the solid
run issues I also began training for my
first Ironman triathlon well after about
10 years of there should be an aesthetic
again so inside of the south to earn my
PhD and begin the second half of my life
as a college professor so looking back
on all of this I’ve lived my life in a
cycle where I read that myself every ten
years first ten years engineering work
second ten years or so designing and
selling running shoes there are ten
years earning my PhD in becoming a
marketing professor and in beginning of
the next coming here to LMU to continue
teaching and doing my research the
specialist program maybe Allison refers
to this as making the second half count
so just like in those figure skating
competitions where everything the skater
does in the second half of the program
cause for ten percent more points so if
you’re in your forties or fifties the
invention and change can lead to you
earning more points and making your
second half power
how will we adapt as this loud ride
knows the 21st century continues well I
could say that I survived and adapted by
the robot reading curious by number two
possessing a healthy dose of paranoia
and number three I tried to reinvent
myself before some outside force does it
for me justice imagine how just
particles reality after they collide
with are parted by other small particles
just as we might be buffeted
I see mediated events in our lives I
think this is how it must have felt when
I moved back to Detroit to help take
care of my mom who had been diagnosed
with brain cancer and for me this is
this experience taught me that in my
life my life wouldn’t necessarily follow
a linear pathway or or a series of steps
to success or happiness or achievement
or whatever higher
mission or purpose I was pursuing
whatever instead consists of summary
celebrations some decelerations and
maybe even some virgeen the impression
is simply a way for me to assert a force
and control over my life
the invention doesn’t necessarily have
to mean
moving to the FF to pick the angles and
work on the catalyzation it doesn’t
necessarily have to be training for your
first Ironman triathlon it doesn’t even
have to be joining the surface of life
the invention could mean taking the
courses design thinking or learning how
to code or writing that book you’ve
always longed to write the invention
could mean unplugging from your laptop
or your phone to spend two weeks on the
shores of some beautiful lake in
northern Wisconsin it can even mean
becoming a marketing press the invention
is what you do to deserve change in your
life so what will it take to adapt as
the pace of the pace of change in our
lives accelerates well I have a family
three beautiful kids long life and yes
that Bobbie employee and a priest
weekend here at all of you as a
marketing professor these days my degree
of adaptation consists of be natural
enough to pick up school carpool on
thirty minutes notice or knowing where
to find flies favorite dog food if the
local target is out of stock so the next
time you find yourself waiting in line
at your local coffee shop totally
immersed in your phone along with
everyone else in life smart some change
in your life talk to the person in front
of you or behind you and wherever you
are whatever you do whatever age you are
stay curious live a life full of purpose
and to pay homage to the great American
sport of baseball live life like is your
seventh game and maybe your game will be
I’m fired by what the users should
