360° Innovation
I work with CxOs and founding teams of software, climate-clean-green-tech, fintech, ag/foodtech, proptech and media companies as well as values-aligned family offices, corporate investment and M&A teams, and progressive venture and sovereign wealth funds as a fractional CxO, board member or executive advisor as a go-to subject matter expert seeing the business as a holographic system from a 360-degree, regenerative, circular economy and futures visioneer perspective to help crystallize thinking, hone go-to-market strategy, and find the quickest path to revenue, profit, and exit, all in context of ESG, the UN SDGs and COP26.

I Helped Launch
Our Great Inflection Point
We live in monumental times, a period of
great volatility and epic change, with many
seeming contradictory business and
humanitarian goals and needs.
As the world makes an unsteady transition
from fossil fuels and centralization to the
digitized, decentralized, and climate-centric renewables age,
how are you managing the shift?
Are you seeing “reality” the way it “truly” is?
Are you and your business and portfolio
prepared to weather the transformation?
Are you ready to embrace the new and thrive
or
are you contracting?
Our Wave Is Upon Us
Web 3.0, decentralization, IoT, and smart everything
has upended all facets of our personal and business lives.
So have renewables, EVs, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing,
Ai and Aei, massive big data, telemedicine, robotics, drones, AR/VR, gamification, the metaverse, social media, influencers, fintech, relatively cheap and ubiquitous global broadband, and
smartphone adoption.
Virtually the entire world has access to the same information,
human capital, and financial resources from which to
create, innovate, and build new systems
to usher in tomorrow, today.
Are you ready for what comes next?
Do you have the insight and market intel to make the right decisions -
the wise longtail decisions?
Are you ready to adopt a new mindset along with
new technologies and new business models to
successfully accelerate?
Fortune Favors The Bold
In the Chinese language, the word "crisis"
is composed of two characters,
one representing danger,
the other, opportunity.
Which do you see?
Which do you experience?
How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go?
Does it give you a thrill or scare you?
What is your propensity for risk?
How deep are your pockets?
What are your primal fears and concerns?
How far Into the future can you see?
How much courage do you have to
act on your instincts?
Who Are Your Heroes?
Plato posited there are only seven human stories.
Overcoming the Monster
Rags to Riches
The Quest
Voyage and Return
Comedy
Tragedy
Rebirth
Which ones are you acting out in your life,
your business, your portfolio companies?
Who are your heroes and why?
Where are you in your own heroes’ journey?
Are you going for the quest?
Your Reality Distortion Field
We all know Steve and his famous
– or infamous –
reality distortion field.
And we all know about quantum mechanics.
The question is,
are you trudging through
your personal and business life
from a Newtonian point of view or
are you soaring through from a quantum
flow-state experience?
Are you ready to think different?
Are you ready to be different?
Are you ready to act different?
What Is Your Legacy?
A stable future is no longer an assumptive
or foregone conclusion.
We all must consider all the key vectors that affect all of global humanity
– economic, geopolitical, climatic, demographic, social, and more –
as you plan for your, your family’s, and your company’s future.
Are you ready to see your world anew
and reframe your worldview,
your life, your business?
Are you driven by abundance or scarcity,
optimism or pessimism?
Are you on the precipice of the chasm
or
at the greatest hockey stick moment
in human history?
