Loving Business
"I love the business world. As much as it gets a bad rap with the “greed is good” paradigm, and deservedly so, business to me is creative, innovative, collaborative, problem-solving, people meeting to do great and exciting things. It’s a place where we can feel we belong, have a function, a purpose - and at some point a place where we need to recon with who we are. I believe that if we can harness the creative power of business, and meet the sacred connection to all living things through the wisdom of our spiritual traditions, we can offer evolution a fantastic choice.
