S01E28 - Dr. Mike North - Futurist & Inventor, Shiftwave - Wonderland Miami Interviews

On this Mindfulness Experience Podcast at the Wonderland Miami conference, I interview Dr. Mike North, or “Doc North” as he is, more commonly known, a futurist and inventor with a passion for using technology to improve the human condition.

Doc North is an undaunted anything-but-mild scientist/engineer. He’s a four-time Discovery Channel host, including the hit series Outrageous Acts of Science. He’s taught at UC Berkeley and has been published in Nature. As a thought leader Doc North has delivered hundreds of talks, including the commencement address at UC Santa Barbara, and emceed MIT technology reviews emtech Singapore.

Our conversation focuses on creating the ShiftWave zero gravity chair, a vibrotactile stimulation device to help individuals improve performance, reduce pain, and restore vibrancy to the human condition. Doc North is a frequent keynote speaker and thought leader. We talk about the autonomic nervous system and the power of the chair to realign the body, spirit, and mind.
