Mick Ebeling is the founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs. He brings brilliant engineers, designers and collaboration-worthy people together to solve problems that matter. If your audience wants a big idea that leads to action, Mick delivers.
Mick develops creative solutions that address real-world problems, then shows teams how to build their own solutions. His talks mix story with forward thinking ideas that leaders can use straight away. Business leaders book him when they want people to stop admiring problems and start fixing them.
This is where inspiration met execution. Tony “TEMPT1” Quan, an LA fine artist, was paralysed by ALS. Using over the counter supplies such as a PlayStation Eye camera, IR LEDs, sunglasses, zip ties and simple open-source code, Mick’s team built the EyeWriter so he could create art using only the movement of his eyes. A paralysed man could create drawings again. EyeWriter went on to feature in MoMA’s Talk to Me exhibition.
After reading about a teenager in South Sudan who lost both arms, Mick set up a low-cost 3D-printing lab so prosthetic arms could be made on site. Project Daniel enabled Ebeling and the team to train local makers, proving how do it yourself technologies can compete against seemingly impossible odds.
Lorraine asked for help for her husband, Don, who had not spoken since 1999 due to ALS. The Not Impossible team created a simple interface that mirrored the paper letter board he already used. Don said “I love you, Lorraine” out loud for the first time in 15 years. Hearing people discuss Mick after this story, you can feel the lift in the room. Many say it gave them just the break they needed to start.
Recent spin-outs take this approach to scale.
