Special Introduction to my new book “Buggering it all up.”
This unusual, outrageous, and educational autobiography of one of the great business geniuses of our time, is titled “Buggering it all up.”
A great celebration of terrible yet ultimately successful Lifestyle Choices, where creating new technological inventions, new medicines, new communications, new financial products, new environmental solutions, and all new Physics discoveries, from theories to applied Physics, in Medicine and beyond, is the only appropriate way of making pasta stick to the wall…
After all, experimentation os the Mother of Invention, and the Handmaiden of Innovation, as Dr Churchill is often heard saying.
Dr Churchill applies his vast knowledge of Physics, Medicine, and Technological innovation to solving the wicked problems all around us, by creating, founding & supporting solutions that protect us from disease, climate change, and even from Nuclear War events, and other evils of our lives, such as our dread disease nemesis, our physical imperfections, our time bound and rather limited sojourn upon this earth, and our propensity for wanton war & destruction.
This is Dr Churchill’s modus operandi, in life and spirit, informed by his eternal belief as is writ large in his always learning, improving, and serving life of a Gentleman. He is inspired by a great line in the Book of Changes: “Just as Heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman makes unremitting efforts to perfect himself.”
And as an always evolving student of Physics, under Albert Einstein’s mental prodding that “Creativity is Intelligence having Fun” — Dr Churchill is constantly creating,
Flying High, Smoking great Cigars, drinking Whiskey, Flying SuperSonic, Flying Environmental, Making New Friends, Saving the World, and its people, one at a time, or in multitudes, through new medicines, or personal involvement, and writing about it all, during night long excursions in the world of creating erudite and informative books and articles like this one…
So now you are welcome to attend one of Dr Churchill’s iconic speeches and participate in a gathering drinks & cigars party about Innovation, Courage, & Resilience, in the face of the World’s brokenness, strife, and inordinate inadequacies … that threaten to turn our civilization into a dystopia only fit for the idiots who seek to mislead all of the masses and remake our democratic republic from a mercantile empire, into a slaver’s banana boat.
Dr Churchill’s personal courage, resilience and strength has stopped that and his great style, has allowed him to thrive as a great leader, and hopes to imbue us all with a level of Optimism, that is required is we are to solve the most vexing, bewitching and intractable problems of our Civilization.
He shows us how to do this through Innovation; a super power that allows us not only to survive, but to thrive, as a People, as a Species, and as a nation.
We are the very Darwinian model of a People that are flexible and adaptable enough, to survive major extinction events in our History, all the while seeking to move further the wheel of Progress, enhance our Civilization, and solve the most wicked problems facing Mankind, all the while having our quotidian of bracing fun.
In little more than fifty years, Dr Churchill founded the great institutions of Environmental Parliament, the Lincoln Party, and the Lincoln Project, and spawned nearly thirty successful ventures, out of 1500 failed ones. From Seattle Wireless, to Hong Kong based Telecom Venture Partners that fist invested in China Mobile when it only had 300 users, to the New Green Concorde airliner manufacturing and flying business of today, to the Green Bank of England & UK, and the Green Bonds of the world, to the Green Bank of Shanghai and China, and everything else in between, along with the Tuberculosis antibiotic drug Pretomanid (first antibiotic against TB in half a century) and his work on the new vaccine against Antibiotic resistant Tuberculosis, to the AI businesses that he founded, to the Seattle Chips the Quantum Silicon Chip Fabrication Foundry, and many others ranging from financial services, to the Churchill Society Club, and the many other Great Ventures of his, funded through Advance life Science VC — Dr Churchill has a track record second to none.
Many of his companies were started in the face of entrenched competition. The experts said, “Can’t be done” whereas Dr Churchill founded Companies that harvested the ripest “Grapes of Disruption” another of his books, and found his “golden fleece” through opportunities in lively markets, and docile yet moribund asset sectors, in which people have been customarily ripped off, while the C-level executives operate like “Rentiers” who harvest the bread out of the mouth of the “Peasants” keeping them underserved, underrepresented, and confused.
His “Innovation Rules” another book of his, reigns supreme amongst University Business schools’ best syllabus for success through disruption.
Dr Churchill still works hard and continuously having an affinity for the well planned long game, of creating more disruption in business, and at all levels and layers of our Society, wherever the waters are stagnant, the markets are sleeping, and the competition is complacent.
Doing arbitrage admittedly is a long game but striking times are short, and in this age of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, Dr Churchill, gives us a new model for living, working and succeeding.
Being there. Showing up and buggering it all up, until solutions appear by the magical pivots, the disruptive innovation, and the marketing muscle of a genius of science, hardworking, & successfully engaged in entrepreneurship, in business, in political leadership, and in personal life…
Here is a man who lives life to the fullest.
Dr Churchill, like his namesake and grandfather, has written his own “rules” for success, by creating a chaordic business group of companies, with a global presence, yet without central headquarters, without multilayered management hierarchy, and with the most minimal levels of bureaucracy.
Friends, fun, family, children and adventure are all equally important as competition, business and politics in his life. “Buggering it all up” is a portrait of a productive, sane, balanced life, filled with rich and colorful stories, as the following vignettes prove:
– Sailing and winning the most adversarial, unsanctioned, & illegal yacht race, the uninsurable and illegal “King Aegis” race, in the Aegean Sea, during the Meltem winds season. A race that has demasted, destroyed, and sunk more boats, than any other race worldwide, and in history, save for the Spanish Armada, but that was an act of God and War, but not a race…
In the King Aegeas race, that he won, he persisted to the finish line, even after the race was called off due to ferocious winds and turbulent seas, the likes of which could only be recalled from the History books. And even then, Dr Churchill, continued on, saving the crew of a floundering boat, he sailed on towards the end, and he crash-landed his fast long ship, the yacht Argonaut, in in the Icarian island at Cape Carcinagri, after enduring a grueling storm, alone, naked, and unfettered at the helm, unfettered by the winds, and the storm frothing the sea all around him, while his and the rescued crew, were all tied safely in their bunks, sick as puppies from the exhausting fight with the elements, yet he remained steadfastly determined to have another go at being the first to win this race alone, demasted and de-crewd.
– Signing up as friends and colleagues some of the most brilliant minds of our Scientific firmament, in order to solve the wicked problems facing Humanity and create Philanthropic business around the solutions.
– Fighting back when errant Microsoft employees, attacked and hurt Dr Churchill during a Speech he offered inside Microsoft headquarters in Redmond Washington, and successfully suing this pillar of the American and the World’s software publishing business establishment.
-Enduring a gruesome, fearful, innovative and unsanctioned by the FDA, experimental Cryogenic Open Brain Surgery, that removed the amyloid dead cells in his cranium, and thus removed the nerve pressure inside his cranium, that had caused his paralysis, after receiving the head injury that caused the deep Traumatic Brain Injury, and the subdural and intra-cranium hematoma, after the Hate Crime that he endured and escaped from his attackers wielding cricket implements against him, inside Microsoft HQs, on building 28 “The Garage” on February 28th of 2017.
– Swimming across the English Chanel, across Bosporus, and from Cyprus to Turkey’s golden coast, unassisted by crew and support team, during the early decades of his life, and still swimming long distance every chance he gets.
– Staging a children and Mothers’ rescue from Afghanistan just before the final & terribly chaotic retreat of U.S. forces from Kabul Afghanistan, and continuing on to this day, as it is still needed to save those who worked for the liberation of that country, and yet were left behind as so many pawns in this Grand Game of Power GeoPolitics that our terribly blind empires still play as it it were just a game of chess with marble pawns…
- Creating the Lincoln party & the Lincoln project as the political party of Independents that are the pivot around which 7,5 million people vote to elect the President in the US presidential elections, thus according to some, making Dr Churchill, the King-Maker of our nation.
And much more, like writing his book, “Winston” after diligent research at the Churchill archives in Cambridge University inside Churchill College in 2015, when the fist tranche of Winston Churchill’s secret papers were opened to history researchers…
And with this new book “Buggering it all up” comes the ultimate tale of innovation, personal survival, growth, and rehabilitation from being a paralyzed disabled person, to a politically glorious, business grower, gardener of Innovative Startup Companies, and resilient international HERO, of a man who combines the Leadership skills of Alexander the Great, the Innovation genius of Steve Jobs, the Business genius of Rockefeller, the marketing wizardry of Apple, and the promotional instincts of Mother Teresa.
“Buggering it all up” might be the way forward, yet for now — come party with us...
Yours,
Dr Churchill
