The only questions that really matter right now

Dear Reader. Are you feeling just sick about what is going on in the world? Me too. And here's my take on the root causes of the polycrises unfolding right now. I'll share it here with the request that you test it through your own experience: Our economy arises from the investments of our life energy that each of make each day through our work. It's that simple. And, ugh. And with the dominant systems accelerating the erosion of life, instead of giving advice about how to change your career,...

Who do you need to become to serve the Great Turning? Dear Reader, Are you feeling that grief and change are themes so alive right now? And, what do they have to do with your livelihood? Soooo much. That's what I'm writing to you about today. With an invite to welcome in grief and change in 2025, as a North Star that points towards what you love. My Shifting Context My beloved Carol Sanford, a leader in regenerative business for decades, died in November. Carol prepared us for 2 years around...

Dear Friends, In an email I sent you last month titled "Don't Compete. Cultivate!" I shared that I recently received a lovely invitation from Silvia DiBlasio and Della Duncan to participate as a guest speaker in their Cultivating Regenerative Right Livelihoods course. In that process, I was requested to submit the usual bio and headshot. I used it as a developmental opportunity--to stretch into thinking about our default expectations, and what paradigms give rise to them. In other words, I...

Dear Friends, Here we are, welcoming in Gregorian year 2023. In June, 2022 I wrote you this: "I'm currently back in Upstate NY after almost 6 months in Costa Rica. I'm here for about a month, liquidating my home further, putting a few treasures in storage, and then going back out nomading. The newest evolution of my professional aim is around working hands-on with micropreneurs to discern, design, and grow regenerative biz ecosystems that become the seeds for a regenerative economy. This...
