If you want to come down with a case of highly infectious positivity, spend 15 minutes with Naveen Jain. By the time you finish your conversation you’ll be compelled, inspired and motivated to solve the world’s biggest problems. That’s because when Naveen talks about what he does on a day-to-day basis, (which is literally “solving the world’s biggest problems”) you start to realize that even your wildest dreams are within reach. Naveen teaches us that there’s a plausible career in thinking big.

As the founder of Moon Express, the World Innovation Institute, iNome, Talentwise, Intelius and Infospace, Naveen is living proof that one person can accomplish a lot in a lifetime. And he’s just getting started. He’s boldly going where no private company has gone before – the Moon. His big idea is to create a completely new fuel and energy market by mining Helium3 from our celestial cousin for use on Earth. And the best part, he makes a truly out-of-this-world announcement on this episode. You’ll have to watch to know what I’m talking about.

Naveen is a font of indispensable knowledge, wisdom and inspiration – his infectious nature has led him to be one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the world and I cannot wait to see what seemingly impossible idea he’ll next turn into a reality.
