SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --  LifeGuides CEO and Founder, Mark Donohue, was honored to provide a keynote address at the lead annual event of the Family Office Association. His presentation was titled: "Playing Big in an Era of Exponential Creativity - The LifeGuides Story."

Mr. Donohue stated: "It is such an honor to speak alongside two of my great mentors, Dr. Peter Diamandis, with whom I have been deeply studying for over five years, and Tony Robbins, whose work I have been studying closely for 30 years"

Thematically, Mr. Donohue believes that we have entered a radically new era of exponential creativity, which has become democratized, so that children born today have the power once attributed to God via the smartphone attached to their hand. Access to capital, knowledge, co-creative talent, open source software and turn-key software, expert mentor networks and incubators, and an entrepreneurial mindset, is an open system. Individuals have capabilities only within the reach of a Fortune 500 company of 35 years ago.

Humans now also have a clear perspective on the whole system, which is radically new in this era of evolution. As we see the whole system, the greatest crisis have become the greatest opportunities for radical innovation and wealth generation. As importantly, we have a much greater ability to live more freely in our full purpose and express our full human potential. If we have the choice to create a more purposeful living, and "Do Well, while we are Doing Good," then why would one choose another path?

As Barbara Marx Hubbard, Mark's writing and creative partner for 26 years stated so eloquently: "What is the meaning of our power that is good?" Given our new individual and collective powers, this 50-year old question has acquired seminal meaning.

Mr. Donohue believes that a rebirth, of sorts, is emerging as we see ever larger enterprises reframing their reason for existence, such as the recent Business Roundtable announcement stating a new "Statement of Purpose of a Corporation," and  their leading CEO's committing to "lead their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders - customers, employees, suppliers, communities and stakeholders."

Given Mr. Donohue's sole career focus, for 30 years, on "Business as a Force for Good," he feels that we have reason for hope, even as the crisis seem so prominent in the news. But, the underlying story is one of individuals rebuilding the fabric of our civilization and doing this for the betterment of all, as opposed to pure self-interest.

Mr. Donohue invites us all to "Play Big in an Era of Exponential Creativity" as we reinvent and improve society, and restore our planetary ecosystem. We are each pioneers and partners in re-building a more just and sustainable world, which accelerates personal freedoms, creativity and love.

Mr. Donohue's personal path  "playing big" is LifeGuides, a public benefit corporation, where he is CEO & Founder.
LifeGuides Mission Statement is:
"Building a Platform for Caring People to do Extraordinary Good.
The Goal: "To Reduce Struggle and Suffering for 1B within 15 years.
