Hello from the Nerd Stalker gang at Macworld / iWorld. We were busy this AM on day one of the opening of Macworld / iWorld.

Nerd Stalker's Greg Viloria aka SocialGreg was honored to spend some time with  Ekaterina Walter , social innovator at Intel and author of Wall Street Journal's Best Selling book "Think Like Zuck". Greg sat down with Ekaterina at New People in SF Japantown and interviewed her on her new book. Ekaterina explains how Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg works as organization and leadership interdependence culminating with the success that Facebook has seen to date. This book covers not only Facebook but other companies as examples of companies that start with two or three people and become great.

Most people who we talked to here were always skeptical but after a few weeks of trying the Bulletproof Diet , they were converted. The words I hear from the true believers before the diet was "lack of energy", "super tired", "lack of focus, after a few weeks of the diet they said words like  "changed my life", "more energy and focus","enjoying many things I didn't used to enjoy".

The theme of the 2nd day of the Bulletproof Conference "Bio-hack Your Life" was "Life Changing".  "Optimal Performance in Life" Day one of the conference, Jay Schroeder and Charles Maka demonstrated some tools like the EVO ARP POV Sport instrument which allows the body’s systems to respond more efficiently to work.
