The Bottomless Cloud challenges the scarcity-driven mindset by taking a hard look at how industrial-age business models are failing us by regarding data as a commodity and a cost that needs to be constrained, rather than a near-infinite resource that can be mined to build entirely new sources of value and insight. From Uber to Nike to Netflix, The Bottomless Cloud is defining the tenets of success in the 21st century by changing the way we view data, from being a byproduct of business to a foundational driver of radically new business models.

One of the best-loved composers of all time, Dvorák rose from rural origins to become not only a great but an influential composer. The first composer to put his native Bohemia on the musical map of the world, he was invited to do the same for America. One result was the famous "New World" Symphony, which made him a household name across the globe. Writing music of irresistible color, lilt and peasant vitality, he was also a melodist-in-a-million.

A topic talk about emotions, alcoholism, and recovery. Emotions are a thing we all have most of and know little about. I'm going to talk not about love but the negative feelings; my message on them is a simple one: Handle them or they will handle you.

What we focus on gets bigger, focus on negativity and unhappiness grows; focus on the good and beautiful in this world and happiness grows.
