Peter Diamandis believes that because of forces already at work, the future will be better than we think.  He is an entrepreneur turned philanthropist, and the founder and CEO of the X-Prize Foundation, a non-profit encouraging and rewarding those who dare to make the impossible possible.  He is author of the new book Abundance: Why the Future is Better Than You Think.  Here’s his discussion with Dylan.
