What One Invention Would You Uninvent? | Brian Mohr | TEDxGrandCanyonUniversity

When Brian Mohr asked a group of 150 business leaders, "If you could uninvent any past invention, what would it be and why?", the nearly unanimous answer he received triggered an exploration of the intersection of technology and human connection. In this riveting talk, Brian will share with you the massive, positive impact smartphone technology has had on the human experience, as well as the shadowy addictive side of the supercomputers in our pockets. He provides a simple practice you can integrate into your daily routine to help you cultivate deep, meaningful relationships. You'll walk away with a profound sense of the importance of doubling down on the one thing that separates us from our technology...real human connection. Brian's career-to-date has been a learning-based journey with an intense focus on people, purpose, values, culture, leadership, and advocating capitalism as a force for good. Brian has an insatiable sense of curiosity and thrives in any environment that allows him the opportunity to make meaningful connections, whether it’s connecting with people or ideas. He is on the Global Board of Trustees of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., a member of the Board of Directors of the Better Business Bureau of the Pacific Southwest, the host of the ‘Built on Purpose’ podcast, and anticipating the launch of his first book, "Hiring on Purpose - How the Y Scouts Method is Revolutionizing the Search for Leaders". Brian's most important and cherished responsibilities are being the lucky father to his two daughters, Taylor and Riley, and the proud husband to his wife, Jackie. In his spare time, you'll find Brian practicing guitar and enjoying an occasional game of Texas hold 'em poker.
