Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge: A Journey into Passion and Innovation

Welcome to Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge, a podcast for tech executives. In this episode, we have Jeremy Lasman, the founder and CEO of The Passion Company, as our guest. Jeremy is a visionary entrepreneur who is pioneering a public utility that addresses the universal basic human need for passion. His mission is to use his invention of imagination technology to accelerate the world’s conscious evolution to superhuman. With a background in SpaceX and a passion for innovation, Jeremy brings a unique perspective to the table.

The Power of Passion as Fuel

Jeremy believes that passion is the fuel of human energy. He sees it as the driving force behind our imagination technology, which encompasses our minds, bodies, and spirits. By understanding passion as a basic human need, Jeremy aims to address the problems that arise when this fuel is not running at its highest performance. He states, “When you look at it in the metaphor or in the story, that is a fuel. You can more precisely address the upgrading, the leveling up of how this fuel is running throughout our whole system.”

The Birth of The Passion Company

The idea for The Passion Company came to Jeremy as he was researching and developing his invention of imagination technology. He wanted to find an area of the world where his invention could have maximum benefit. Inspired by the infrastructure built around basic human needs like water, gas, and electricity, Jeremy envisioned a whole new utility sector for passion. He explains, “What we’re doing is creating a whole new utility sector for passion side by side with water, gas, and electricity, not only to support it, but really supplying it.”

From SpaceX to The Passion Company

Jeremy’s time at SpaceX was a formative experience that shaped his thinking and approach to innovation. He joined the company when it was still a startup and had the opportunity to witness the excitement and groundbreaking work happening in the field of space exploration. One of his most memorable projects was working with Elon Musk to create a music video commemorating SpaceX’s first successful launch. Jeremy reflects, “Just being part of history… every single mark, even if it was a little delayed, like success, everything got proven wrong.”

The Challenges of Innovation

Innovation often faces resistance and skepticism, especially when it challenges established norms. Jeremy acknowledges that his vision for The Passion Company may seem outlandish to some. However, he believes that the key to overcoming pushback lies in effective communication and marketing. He states, “I’ve really had to experiment and refine the message… It is an out-there concept, and I’ve gotten so much better in communication and marketing with the help of my team.”

The Importance of Teamwork and Delegation

As a visionary entrepreneur, Jeremy understands the importance of surrounding himself with a talented team. He recognizes that he can’t do everything on his own and that delegating tasks to others is essential for success. Jeremy shares, “I think that’s vitally important, that you surround yourself with other people that are really passionate about the things that you’re not passionate about so that you can create something bigger than any one of the individuals, including me.”

The Culture of Passion

Creating a culture of passion within an organization is crucial for fostering innovation and success. Jeremy believes that the internal culture should be a role model for the user experience. He emphasizes the importance of aligning the company’s values with the passion it aims to deliver. Jeremy states, “The company culture should be the example of what the user experience is that you’re putting out there.”

The Future of The Passion Company

Looking ahead, Jeremy envisions The Passion Company expanding its reach into businesses, corporations, and even government sectors. He sees the potential for his invention of imagination technology and the concept of passion as a utility to revolutionize the way we approach human evolution. Jeremy concludes, “The vision is certainly big… we’re talking a very big scope of where it can go.”

In conclusion, Jeremy Lasman’s journey from SpaceX to founding The Passion Company is a testament to the power of passion and innovation. By recognizing passion as the fuel of human energy, Jeremy aims to address the challenges and bottlenecks that hinder our personal and collective growth. Through effective communication, teamwork, and a culture of passion, he believes that we can accelerate our conscious evolution to superhuman. The future holds immense potential for The Passion Company and its vision of a world fueled by passion.
