Author Quotes:

“97% of those that could, are not participating in the greatest wealth-creation opportunity the world has ever seen.” 

Matthew C. Le Merle

“For most people, this most important of times is passing them by. The world is transitioning between two eras—from the Industrial Era that we have grown up in, into the Fifth Era of digital and biotechnology disruption and change—and most people are not sure how to participate.” 

Matthew C. Le Merle

“Imagine what could humankind achieve if 10 or 100 or 1,000 times as many people were able to bring their full potential to bear on our most pressing issues through the power of virtual learning, collaboration, and problem-solving platforms.”

 Alison Davis

“Humankind holds its own destiny in its hands, and some critical choices are upon us regarding our collective future. In particular, governments can kill our future of innovation and transformation by choosing a world of economic balkanization, government-sponsored cybersecurity attacks, and excessive and suffocating regulation.” 

Matthew C. Le Merle

“The wealth being built by the transition to the Fifth Era is being captured in the early phases of business formation. Entrepreneurs are changing the world, and angels perch on their shoulders.”

 Matthew C. Le Merle

“The women of the world are our most valuable underutilized resource as we enter the Fifth Era.”  

Alison Davis
