Mick Ebeling
As a visionary and humanitarian, Mick Ebeling has dedicated his life to pushing the boundaries of what has been impossible through the power of technology and storytelling - impacting people's lives.
Named by Fortune Magazine as a Top 50 World’s Greatest Leaders, a recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award and listed as one of the world’s most influential creative people by The Creativity 50’s, Mick Ebeling has sparked a movement of pragmatic, inspirational innovation. As a career producer and filmmaker and now Founder and CEO of Not Impossible, a multiple award-winning social innovation lab, Mick has dedicated his life to tapping into the power of innovation, technology, and story to change the world.
Mick’s mantra of “commit, then figure it out” allows for a unique problem-solving approach, bringing together a community of passionate and talented engineers, doers, makers, idea generators and storytellers to create solutions that better the world. This unconventional approach has brought to life highly acclaimed and award winning initiatives such as the EyeWriter, Project Daniel, Don’s Voice, Project Bishop, and Music: Not Impossible.
Since its inception, Not Impossible has also spun off two independent companies: Bento (gobento.com), a simple text based service that addresses food insecurity, and Vyb Life, a wearable medical device company focused on mitigating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and currently in clinical trials in both the US and EU. To date, Not Impossible is the only company to win Time Magazine’s Top Invention of the Year twice, as well as being named winner of Fast Company’s World Changing Idea twice.
Partnering with a wide array of companies and organizations, Mick not only pushes the bar on innovation, he shares the emotionally resonating story of doing so. These narratives of overcoming seemingly impossible odds through a “Help One. Help Many” approach has inspired people across the world to do the same.
Ebeling’s book, Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn't Be Done, recounts his life experiences that led to the founding of Not Impossible. Published in several languages, the book was hailed by Deepak Chopra as “a true testament to the power of determination […] Bursting with optimism and new ideas.”
Named one of WIRED Magazine’s Agents of Change, a two-time SXSW Innovation of the Year award winner, a three-time Tribeca Disruptor Awards recipient, a fellow with The Nantucket Project, and recipient of every major creative and advertising award, Ebeling is on a mission to provide “Innovation & Technology for the Sake of Humanity.” By doing so, Ebeling is making the inconceivable, the unbelievable and the impossible, Not Impossible.
