What an incredible first stop on Get Well Soon Tour (Founded by Summit Series, Benny Blanco and Austin Bisnow). The best recording artists in the world visiting and performing acoustic sets for sick children.
We set up a special screening of Justin Bieber’s new movie at UCLA Children’s Hospital. Can you imagine the kid’s delight when Justin Bieber arrived in person to surprise them.

Fast Company just wrote a fun piece on Summit at Sea. Of course Jeff gives crazy quotes as usual. And somehow, he compares Summit to a Large Hadron Collider.
I started going through my memory and I vaguely remembered that Dan Brown’s book Angels and Demons (his book before Da Vinci Code) was about the Hadron Collider…So, I check wikipedia..it’s the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator and is 17 miles in circumference and it collides opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 teraelctronvolts per particle, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 µJ) per nucleus.
How Jeff pulled an analogy like that is beyond me! Article here

Honored that Forbes listed Summit Series as names you need to know in 2011
We spent last Monday in Jamaica giving vision tests and fitting adults with reading glasses. We saw 250 patients. We gave out 180 pairs of reading glasses and referred 70 patients for advanced screenings.

Warby Parker founder Neil Blumenthal. Warby Parker sells trendy / high end glasses for under $100 (Neil is wearing them above). With each pair they sell, they give a pair of reading glasses to someone less fortunate around the world.
We are fans of companies like TOMS, FEED Projects and Warby Parker who have added giving to their business models.

There is a revolution in cool, and more than any other shift in the cultural zeitgeist, has the potential to change the world.
Historically, cool has been fundamentally about not caring about things. Anyone who went to high school passionate about academics, music, or just about anything other than sports knows how true this is.
…But there is a change afoot. All of a sudden, giving a shit is cool. Being passionate is cool. Getting involved is cool. Being creative is cool. Building real things is cool…a new Gap campaign which features actors, models, and…the founders of Foursquare?
There are some key individuals and organizations curating this shift, as well. None stick out as clearly as the Summit Series. Full Article Here
