The lead engineer for Boosted Boards, which creates automatic skateboards, died of a brain aneurysm when riding his own product in San Francisco. The incident led to the realization of the impact our creations can have on people's lives.
Jason Calacanis explains how after a conversation with a fan of his past work, he realized that he should continue creating businesses, which is what he loves doing the most. He also mentions his acquaintance with inventor Tony Fidel, creator of the iPod and Nest, in a Foundation interview.
In the wake of recent sudden deaths of individuals from brain aneurysms, a discussion on the fragility of life and the importance of not getting too caught up in day-to-day work and stress is presented.
