Last week I was privileged to get a 30 min interview with Peter Diamandis for Singularity 1 on 1.

Peter is not a very tall man but I have to say that he has the energy of a giant because interviewing him is like plugging into a nuclear power plant - afterwords I felt as if I got 10 gigawatts worth of energy straight into my batteries.

During our conversation we discuss issues such as: his personal background and early childhood dream to become an asteroid space-miner; his motivation, goals and aspirations for Singularity University; his personal 10^9 project (aimed at positively impacting the lives of a billion people within 10 years); the book on abundance that he is currently working on; his take on the technological singularity and our chances of surviving it.
