Platforms of Engagement
In addressing the challenges that I see the world facing, at the scale and speed by which they are growing, I have always looked to develop, and be engaged through, a range of platforms. Platforms, that on their own are focused in solving a problem, bringing balance to a system, or to catalyze others, and when brought together are able to leverage the power of the network to have an outsized impact.
It’s a dream, I know, but when it works, it’s a beautiful thing to watch.
