If you’re reading this, chances are you’re part of the Singularity University community—this ever-growing crew, nearly 200,000 strong—spread across the world, working to make impact. You understand the global grand challenges faced by humanity, you see the potential of technology to transform our world, and you’re with us in a mindset that we, as individuals, institutions, and companies, can move the needle on the most pressing issues of our time.Reflecting on this a few weeks ago, I realized that something was missing. I was thinking about how, whenever I need to solve a gnarly problem or find some inspiration, I put on one of my favorite playlists. I have playlists for all sorts of purposes: ideation, reflection, even one for cranking out long Google Docs. (Ugh.) But I didn’t have one for rolling up my sleeves and making the world a better place.It’s about more than just head-bopping or the one-song dance parties that go down in my office once a week (yes, really). As we begin to deepen our understanding of digital biology, we can actually see how music activates our minds. And companies like focus@will (an SU Ventures Startup Portfolio company) are using music backed by neuroscience to induce flow states and enhance cognition and mood.So, as it is my sworn duty to support members of the SU community in achieving their impact goals, I’m happy to share with you a completely non-scientific, entirely chair-dance-induced piece of support, perhaps the most valuable you’ll ever receive.Impact BeatsWant to change the world?
