Making the Impossible, Not Impossible: A Conversation with Mick Ebeling
What if the world’s “impossible” problems aren’t impossible at all—just waiting for someone to refuse to accept them?
In this episode of the Riveo Impact Lab, Emily sits down with Mick Ebeling, Founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs—an innovation studio dedicated to solving society’s “absurdities” through technology and storytelling. A three-time recipient of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of the Year, Mick has built a career around one core belief: if something feels unacceptable, do something about it.
From creating a $100 eye-tracking device that allowed a paralyzed artist to create again, to launching the world’s first 3D-printing prosthetics lab in a refugee camp, to addressing food insecurity through their groundbreaking platform Bento, Mick shares how bold ideas begin with helping one person—and grow from there.
In this conversation, we explore:
- What Mick means by identifying “absurdities” in society
- Why being a doer matters more than being a commentator
- The philosophy of “help one, help many”
- How storytelling amplifies impact
- What “frictionless innovation” looks like in action
- Why impact isn’t just what you do for others—but what it does for you
If you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, or simply someone who feels overwhelmed by the scale of the world’s problems, this episode will leave you inspired—and equipped—to start where you are.
Because sometimes, making an impact begins with refusing to walk past what doesn’t make sense.
🎧 Listen now and take one small step toward making the impossible… not impossible.
