Mike is a socially engaged risk taker who is passionate about how we, together, can make the world a better place. In his talk he looks at the blockers to creativity and how we can remove them. Where will the new ideas and innovations we need for the future come from and how to free ourselves from the boxes we put each other in. Inspirational to say the least. He has spearheaded a variety of projects and startups ranging from music and culture to poverty and justice. He is also the founder of Vision skatepark, Flipside action camp, Zero Gravity Parkour hall, and now Makerspace Norway!
