Daily dose of Optimism: As Peter Ducker said, "The best way to create the future is to build the future".
At The Earthshot Prize, we believe in the power of creativity and innovation to create the future. We believe in people around the world reclaiming agency over their future and fixing the world, one solution at a time. We believe in the game-changers, the change-makers, the creators, the builders, the dreamers and the do-ers.
Because of them, we wake up daily with optimism about the future they're creating for all of us.
We also wake up each day with a renewed sense of urgency. Time is ticking and history is being written. We must all go faster, bigger, braver and bolder.
This is our singular call to action to those with influence and capital: Speed solutions to scale.
Because the innovators can create the future, but together, we need to speed the future towards us faster than ever before.
And that is a collective endeavour requiring more courage and collaboration than ever before.
Thank you to our incredible Founding Partners Bloomberg Philanthropies for hosting and convening courageous conversations with incredible people. Thank you to everyone who has said yes to joining us on the 24th.
Together we are a movement for change and action.

🔥Columbus, Ohio for golf?🔥
Columbus, Ohio, often celebrated for its strategic business location and vibrant lifestyle, is also swinging its way to becoming a premier golf haven. With a twist of character and a dash of statistics, let’s tee off into what makes Columbus a standout city.
At the heart of it all, Columbus is about progression— and nowhere is this more evident than in its embrace of golf. With over 70 meticulously designed golf courses dotted throughout its metro area—home to a bustling population projected to grow by 5% over the next decade—Columbus offers lush greens for every golfer from novice to pro.
The city's love affair with golf doesn't end on the fairway. Annually, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, sprawling over 1.8 million square feet of prime downtown real estate, transforms into a golfer’s paradise. It hosts multiple high-profile golf expos and tournaments that attract thousands, showcasing the latest in sports technology and gear. This venue isn't just large; it's one of the most actively booked centers in the nation, with over 350 events a year, including a growing roster of major golfing events.
Imagine this: You land in Columbus for a conference. You’re a mere 20-minute drive from joining a local golf tournament or enjoying a leisurely round with potential clients and business partners. Here, business and pleasure not only meet—they converge on the green.
After the 18th hole, the city’s safe, pedestrian-friendly streets invite you to explore. Whether it’s dining at a chef-owned restaurant or catching a live show downtown, there’s plenty to do just a short walk from the convention center.
And let’s talk about the local vibe—Columbus’s golf scene is teeming with character. From historic public courses that tell tales of past legends to private clubs that offer the luxe exclusivity of modern golfing, every corner of this city speaks to a rich, vibrant culture that's as diverse as its landscape.
With Columbus set to expand its convention center to accommodate more sporting events, the future looks bright. The city is positioning itself not just as a hub for business but as a cornerstone for golf tourism and events, promising even more reasons to visit, stay, and play.
So, whether you’re eyeing a permanent spot in our community or just swinging by, Columbus’s doors—and greens—are wide open. Come for the golf, stay for the spirit, and let Columbus be your home course away from home!
P.s. I am not affiliated with the convention center. I just genuinely wish more golf business and events were here.

As the Sales Director for the Greater Columbus Convention Center/ASM Global, I often hear how surprised people are once they visit Columbus and discover our amazing city.
One weekend here introduces you to our food scene, including craft breweries, distilleries, and food trucks. We have a rich collection of museums and are home to the Museum of Art, Center for Science and Industry, and the highly regarded Scioto Mile, a collection of trails and parks along the Scioto River. Other gems include North Market, Short North, and German Village which are all walkable from the Convention Center.
On top of that Columbus is also the fastest-growing city in the US.
I'm not the only one who loves this city.
Forbes featured Columbus, yet again!
Rethink the way you think about Ohio!
In the spirit of “sharpening the saw”, I participated in a Design Thinking DC field session for the National Museum of American History this week.
Question: How might we create a more inviting and engaging Constitution Ave entrance?
So great to flex my DT muscles IRL with creative designers!
#designthinking#smithsonian#creativity#brainstorming#prototyping
What a thrill for our DT:DC community to partner with the amazing Mike Denison, Head of Design for the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History, to reimagine the Constitution Avenue entrance of the museum to make it a more inviting, connected, and inclusive public space. A big thank you to our brilliant workshop leaders, Evan Chan and Fabiola Alvarez Yurcisin who spent hours preparing an insightful and inspiring experience and to Caitlin Anderson for managing all the details. The energy and creativity of the group was contagious.
Here's a glimpse of what we achieved:
🔹 Fresh, innovative ideas to enhance the visitor experience
🔹 Collaborative designs that reflect the museum's rich heritage
🔹 A renewed sense of community and shared vision
Finally, a huge shoutout to everyone who participated and contributed their unique perspectives. #DesignThinking#Innovation#MuseumDesign#Smithsonian#Collaboration#Creativity
