Good ideas don’t sell themselves

If we want solutions to social and environmental crises to gain traction, we must:

💗 Play a meaningful role in people’s lives—just like strong brands do.
🐕‍🦺 Guide, don’t preach—meet people where they are.
🏄 Create engaging and enjoyable experiences that draw people in instead of shutting them out.
🧑‍🎓 Invest as much in audience growth as in product development.
🎯 Embed purpose and principles into every part of an organization.

That’s exactly what I do.
