Optimism is a powerful, self-fulfilling mindset. The founder who believes their Moonshot can work, commits the extra decade, they survive the near-death moments and attract the best talent.
Optimism gets called naive. It's the opposite. Naive is assuming things work out on their own.
Optimism is believing that you can solve a problem— and then going and solving it.
That's what’s behind every cure, every breakthrough, every leap we've ever made.
On September 25th, 2026 in Los Angeles I’m gather a room full builders, creators and optimists who are working to steer humanity and create an extraordinary future.
The event is called Moonshots Live. Hosted by Peter Diamandis and the Moonshots Mates: Dave Blundin, Salim Ismail, Alex Wissner-Gross.
Over $5M is awarded live on stage, across two XPRIZEs:
1) Future Vision XPRIZE — $3.5M for filmmakers who show us a future worth living in, told well enough that people believe it.
2) Build with Gemini XPRIZE — $2M for builders solving real problems with AI.
