My mission in life is to help people see the world not as isolated interactions or “silos,” but as a series of integrated systems. In business, this means more intelligent deployment of resources and man-power, creating a culture of agility and responsiveness to changes in the market or geopolitical landscape. In politics, this means understanding historical context and applying an evidence-based approach to policy. In everyday life, it translates to a deeper relationship with people and place, and often leads to great respect and moments of awe with nature.
