Mick Ebeling Biography

Mick Ebeling is an innovation keynote speaker, inventor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist recognized as the founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs and the Not Impossible Institute. Ebeling leads a "DO Tank" focused on addressing complex challenges in health technology, accessibility, and humanitarian innovation. His approach centers on committing to solve significant problems before knowing the solution, a philosophy that led to the development of the EyeWriter, a communication device enabling graffiti artist Tempt One, paralyzed by ALS, to draw again. This project became the catalyst for Not Impossible Labs.

Ebeling's methodology drives scalable solutions across the Not Impossible Labs portfolio, including EyeWriter, Project Daniel—which introduced 3D-printed prosthetics in South Sudan—Music: Not Impossible, a wearable haptic technology for the deaf community, and Bento, a health-tech platform delivering millions of nutritious meals to high-risk Medicaid and Medicare patients. Project Daniel received recognition such as the Titanium Cannes Lion, multiple Bronze Lions, and a Gold in Product Design. Teams led by Ebeling have earned three TIME Best Inventions and two Fast Company World Changing Ideas Awards. Not Impossible Labs has also been recognized by Fast Company as a Best Workplaces for Innovators winner.

Ebeling has been named by Fortune Magazine as one of the Top 50 World's Greatest Leaders and received the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award. He has been listed among the world's most influential creative people by The Creativity 50's, recognized as one of Wired's Agents of Change, and is a two-time SXSW Innovation of the Year Award winner and a two-time Tribeca Disruptor innovation winner. Ebeling is also a fellow with The Nantucket Project. He has delivered keynotes and workshops for more than 570 organizations, including over 50 Fortune 500 companies.

Ebeling developed the "Commit Then Figure It Out" leadership framework, which encourages organizations to pursue breakthrough goals without predetermined solutions. Through the Not Impossible Institute, he collaborates with executive teams to address organizational inertia, accelerate innovation, and implement strategies in areas such as artificial intelligence and market transformation. His book, "Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn't Be Done," published by Simon & Schuster, details his work with Not Impossible Labs, focusing on EyeWriter and Project Daniel. Ebeling continues to engage audiences worldwide through his work at the intersection of technology, social impact, and innovation.

Mick Ebeling Speaking Topics

  • The Fallacy of “Impossible”

    For the last 10 years, since the launch of Not Impossible, Mick has passionately studied the concept of “Impossible.” All the modern conveniences we see around us were once considered “impossible” by people who didn’t know any better. Synthetic fabrics, cell phones and digital watches (not to mention cars and computers) were all figments of the imagination until inspiration met execution and the impossible became a reality. In this talk, Mick dives deeper into “Impossible,” the underlying psychological effects it has on an organization, and how to overcome “Impossible” so true creativity and innovation can take place.

  • Radical Collaboration

    Take a Hollywood producer, a NY professor, a fine artist and a hacker with a criminal record…Put them together and what do you get? A device that helped a paralyzed man create drawings using only the movement of his eyes. Collaboration comes in many form, some of them unexpected. In this talk, Mick discusses the tools necessary to become a stellar collaborator, and to recognize the traits of collaboration-worthy individuals for your next big idea.
