We’re changing stories. We’re giving people a place to stand, a place to hold on to
Our job is to stand at the edge and to roll the edges up into a new center, to bring the artists, the heretics, into the solutions.
Turning, we can see the remnants of our intact and beautiful world, the ancient wisdom we forgot, the brilliant experiments at the edges that can help us regain safety, the sacred and our sense of home again.

Entrepreneurs have always sailed over the edge of the linear economy to find new lands, new hope, to counter such flat earth nonsense as climate denialism.

Homo Sapiens is an interesting species.
We have incredible power to transform our environment to meet our needs, and yet we have this odd tendency to create a world, forget that we have created it, and then throw up our hands and
proclaim our inability to change the system.
Capitalism is not a set of natural laws that Adam Smith discovered.
It is our creation, and it is constantly evolving and changing – consciously or unconsciously…
