Throughout history, the greatest innovators known to mankind have consistently credited this attribute for their amazing innovations and insights.  We are all hardwired with this very same trait, yet so few of us trust in its ability to drive innovation.  So what is this power we possess, and how can we use it to drive innovation and change? Geoff Haynes is a serial entrepreneur and President of Ra Power Pro, an award-winning U.S. portable solar company specializing in non-traditional commercial uses for solar.

Geoff began his career in the marketing department of BMW of North America, working on the highly regarded “Ultimate Driving Machine Campaign”. He loved the challenge, but was driven to become his own boss. Soon there after, Geoff joined the first of what would be a string of successful start-up ventures spanning the next 30 years.

Geoff earned an MBA from the McLaren School of Business, University of San Francisco and resides in South Florida. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
