The discovery of penicillin enabled doctors to treat formerly severe and life-threatening illnesses.\u00a0 Also, there are so many new technologies that have been invented: Airplane travel is only 100 years old, and the internet and wireless technologies are even more recent.\u00a0 We have perfected metallurgy and built skyscrapers over just the past 80 years, but somehow we still worry about who will solve today\u2019s problems\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I believe that our today\u2019s youth are the solution, as they have access to so much information at their fingertips, and should be able to solve problems easier than previous generations.\u00a0 These young people do need one thing, however, to solve these issues:\u00a0 inspiration or passion.\u00a0 I recently met up with 20-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Aidan_Aird\">Aidan Aird<\/a>, and I\u2019m immediately less worried about our future.\u00a0 Aidan might be the most passionate person I have ever met, and he is ready to motivate anyone to follow their passion and solve today\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n<p>Aiden is a young entrepreneur, inventor, business owner, college student, Guinness record holder, and he might be the person who solves a great problem or inspires the next great inventor.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to be motivated, listen to the latest Born to Design Podcast here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/743953351&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out all of the Born to Design podcasts, and subscribe below so you will never miss an episode:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/solidworks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone colorbox-39485\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/soundcloud-button.png\" alt=\"Soundcloud\" width=\"115px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2jVW4hy7TG12CcDpqFqmgD#_ga=2.253466441.1355142135.1544219121-05d85400-65a6-11e8-b2a2-edcb4dfbff9a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone colorbox-39485\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/spotify-button.png\" alt=\"Subscribe to Solidworks Podcast on Spotify\" width=\"115px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/born-to-design-solidworks-podcast\/id1436186801?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone colorbox-39485\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/itunes-button.png\" alt=\"iTunes\" width=\"115px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/born-to-design-solidworks-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone colorbox-39485\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/stitcher-button.png\" alt=\"Stitcher\" width=\"115px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/music\/m\/Ivcwqfkjkyhfsfhb7kerpfbiqoe?t=Born_To_Design_-_SOLIDWORKS_Podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone colorbox-39485\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/googleplay-button.png\" alt=\"Listen on Google Play Music\" width=\"115px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tun.in\/pjarc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone colorbox-39485\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/tunein-button.png\" alt=\"TuneIn -
