John Collins is a nuclear physicist, an inventor, and an expert on commercializing disruptive innovations. He also just might be be the most curious person on earth. Born and raised in an impoverished area of London, John had 33 hobbies between the ages of 11 and 19 ranging from computer programming and electronics design to stone polishing. Despite his technical talents, John opted to study psychology at university after hearing rave stories about the field from a sex therapist friend of his. After having his fun in undergrad, John got a PhD in nuclear physics and went on to invent the world’s first lab-grown diamond at De Beers. Nowadays his life is focused on helping scientists commercialize their research in artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. And of course, he is hyper-focused on his purpose: to help others achieve their purpose.
