👋 Hey there! I'm Geoff Shively, a leader, researcher, and change-agent on a mission to make the world better a better place through faith-centered creative problem-solving and innovation.

🚀 My tech/biz journey began early. At 12, I dove into tech, founded my first profitable company at 14, and launched PIVX at 16. PIVX grew to a $168M market cap, developing security standards still used by tech giants like Google and Apple.

👨🏻‍🏫 At 18, I became the youngest instructor in UC system history, creating their first cybersecurity curriculum. I've been fortunate to advise companies like TOMS Shoes, helping transform it from a small Venice Beach home-based operation to a global brand inspiring others to adopt their revolutionary giving model.

💡 Over the past 30 years (age 42 now), I've been at the forefront of numerous tech advancements:
‣ Privacy, e-commerce, and internet radio (1998)
‣ AI for Good, AI chatbots, AI cybersecurity (1999)
‣ Growth Hacking (2001)
‣ SaaS platforms (2004)
‣ AI Enterprise hardware and software (2007)
‣ Blockchain, 3D printing, hackerspaces (2010)
‣ Live-streaming and citizen journalism (2011)
‣ Drone food delivery (2012)
‣ Regenerative Agriculture (2017)
‣ AI cybersecurity (2018)
‣ Good / positive news (2019)
‣ AI trust and ethics (2024)

❤️ My work always aims to serve others and create positive change:
‣ Helped Knots of Love start + deliver 650,000+ items to cancer patients and babies
‣ Helped grow TOMS and evangelize new model
‣ Created and grew the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, reaching millions, helping change how farmers and others think about and grow food
‣ Created The Good News show, producing 107 episodes of positive content and helping catalyze a global movement
‣ Organized pandemic response teams supporting businesses, doctors, and high-risk communities.

🌱 Currently, I am blessed to run Three Labs where I research and develop AI for Good, and Media Lab For God (MLFG) working [top secret].

✝️ My faith in Jesus drives my approach to innovation and leadership. I believe technology can be a force for good, enhancing human potential and fostering positive change, while serving The Lord’s purpose.

🏄‍♂️ When I'm not in the lab, you'll find writing, hiking, surfing, biking, skateboarding, or otherwise exploring or creating!

🙏🏻 I am stoked to connect with purpose-driven people and AI's who love creating technology and media that aims to make a difference. Hit me up to talk about how we can serve God and create positive change together!
