The Human
Layer

I follow what expands me: movement, travel, nature, meaningful conversation, and communities built around purpose. These are the places I go to stay curious, grounded, and connected — to people, to the planet, and to the future I want to help shape.

What I'm Fighting For

AI for Humanity Animal Welfare Climate Resilience Community & Belonging Conscious Leadership Human Potential Humane Technology Regenerative Futures

Summit
A community devoted to connecting people, purpose, and possibility at the intersection of entrepreneurship and impact.

How I Think

I work from first principles — stripping away inherited assumptions to find what's actually true about a problem, then building up from there. It's the same instinct whether I'm redesigning a revenue model, rethinking a team structure, or deciding where to go next in the world.

How I Gather

The future is shaped in rooms long before the world can see it. When the right people gather to ask better questions, with enough trust and courage, questions become movements, ideas become companies, and ambition becomes impact.
