What fuels you?
Listening to the honest stories of others and learning from their great successes and devastating failures.
What are you most proud of?
My wife and her gentle patience, our kids and their unconditional hope, and our garden and its bountiful wonders.
What has COVID-19 taught you personally and professionally?
Personally: That it shouldn’t take a pandemic (that has ground the world to a halt) to realize what’s really important in our lives. For me it’s been mental health and the community of kind participants in my life.
Professionally: The commerce model as we’ve known it is often flawed and visionless and that there are smarter ideas to explore that do both good for the world and the economy: self-sustainable, perma-cultural frameworks for businesses and citizens to thrive in.
