Grab my starter kit for ecosystem builders!
I help entrepreneurship practitioners become holistic ecosystem builders.
A rising tide lifts all boats. We can only drive meaningful, lasting change if we take a systems approach and facilitate the flow of information and resources within these systems.

This is a martyr-free zone.
