Alyssa Mastromonaco worked for Barack Obama for almost a decade and long before his run for president. From the then-senator's early days in Congress to his years in the Oval Office, she made Hope and Change happen through blood, sweat, tears and lots of briefing binders.

This is evolutionary strategy, iterative innovation, and rapid prototyping all at once.

Mankind and science will come to understand our framework of reality is far from what we think it is. Our understanding of who we are and how we create our own reality is about to make the kind of paradigm shift that no one sees coming, except for a few. Journey with J. Adrian and learn: what consciousness is; why the idea of a universe is outdated; where the theory of everything is hiding; and much more....
