The Economy & Future Trends How the World’s Biggest Economy Keeps Getting Bigger The U.S economy surpassed 15 trillion dollars in 2011, and it continues to grow and prosper in new and creative ways. Creativity, technology and wealth are driving new industries and business development opportunities unlike any period in American history. Get ready for the new U.S. economy that is borderless, un-tethered and the dominate force in world economic growth. Imagining the World of 2020 Cancer vaccines, bionic eyes, brain food, cyberspace marriages and virtual vacations are all part of six major technological, demographic and economic trends. Companies and organizations that embrace the new creative economy will find boundless opportunities in the new borderless world. Agriculture Food For a Smart Planet It’s organic, low gluten, free range, certified to the source and with a small carbon footprint- but it’s also feeding 6.6 billion people, providing energy and a major player in healthcare. Being successful means doing things smarter and with an eye on the consumer and a linkage to the producer in ways never dreamed of before and with technologies previous generations could not conceive—welcome to the new world of agriculture where the opportunities have never been greater. Healthcare The Revolution Healthcare is the largest industry in America and is getting bigger. The physician/hospital centered model is gradually being replaced with non-tethered technology and centers for excellence. It’s an industry that is borderless and holistic with individual’s lifestyles where health is the norm and illness an aberration. The gains in human and animal health and economic growth will stagger the imagination. Education E2 Education Teachers teach, manage and coach and schools certify and provide resources for students for life! The line between K-12 and higher education gets blurred in a world that needs continuous value added workers that are mobile (Everywhere) and wirelessly connected (Electronic). The new creative economy will reward individuals that are lifelong learners as well as those educational systems that know that a student today is a student forever. Motivation The Laws of Life Surprisingly, successful people live by three simple rules (laws)—one involving finance, one about health and one about attitude. Adhering to the laws is often difficult but the rewards remain for a lifetime. The major laws (and a few minor ones just for fun) are easily learned and apply to everyone.

"Over the last fifteen years, Dr. Lowell Catlett has made four encore appearances at the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association’s annual seminar and expo. Each time, he has received rave reviews and top rankings from attendees. His ability to deliver timely and sometimes complex information in an easy-to-understand, engaging and humorous presentation is why we keep bringing him back. It’s easy to get new speakers. It’s very difficult to get new speakers that can appeal to multiple business categories, multiple age ranges, and multiple interests. Dr. Catlett does it all seamlessly. He connects the pieces and draws mental images for our attendees, no matter what the subject. He was our highest-rated speaker again this year and you know that we’ll invite him back!" "Just a quick note to thank you for working with us to have Lowell at our event on Monday. I know you are not surprised that we were very pleased! Lots of positive comments.....one hospital CEO told our COO that Lowell was the best speaker he has ever heard at any conference. Not only is he a terrific, entertaining, and relevant speaker--he was so easy to work with.... such a kind and down-to-earth person. It will be hard to find someone to match this next year."
