INITIATIVES

Where ideas become action, and action serves a higher purpose.

I’ve launched and led initiatives that intersect environmental sustainability, human resilience, creativity, and systems change throughout my life and career. These projects span genres and sectors—from founding a global nonprofit to writing a novel, from rethinking capitalism to mentoring social entrepreneurs.

Each initiative is rooted in a simple guiding belief:

One choice. One act. One person at a time can change everything.
