<\/p>\nWelcome to 2020!\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m beyond excited to start a new decade! I\u2019m slowly wrapping my head, hands, and heart around what my next 20 years will look like. It\u2019s a daunting task to look into the future, but once you\u2019ve died and come back, like I have, life feels like a gift. We must make the most out of a gift this precious! The one thing I\u2019ve learned over that last 20 years is that we become what we commit to, even when starting with nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m committing to becoming a conscious co-creator in this new era, where conscious, intentional change is needed more than ever.\u00a0 Now is a time of major transformation, and we all have a part to play.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be raising the bar on my previous 20 years, where I took up the mantle of making myself into a change-agent, consciously working to create a more just and sustainable world for myself, my children, and our stakeholder families. \u00a0I became a regenerative farmer, an entrepreneur, an inventor, a policy advisor, and an educator for millions of consumers, helping them choose prevention vs poison\/kill as their approach to pest control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the past 20 years, I\u2019m happy to share that we (all stakeholders) contributed to moving the dial on each initiative; growing my company, EarthKind, into a national brand and fulfilling our mission of eliminating the need for reactive approaches from 98% to 90% of households nationwide. Personally, I\u2019ve seized my second chance at life and lived it with joy and gratitude, while always appreciating this schoolroom created by our earth and Mother Nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, as I embark on my next 20 years; raising the bar yet again, I\u2019ll be embodying an even bigger vision of opportunity for our stakeholders (people, planet, insects and animals) through co-creation and collaboration to drive healthy change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be creating climates for change that rethink and reframe our economic system, educational system, ecosystem, food system, and political system \u2013 all through the science and art of cooperation. I\u2019m calling it \u2018enlightened cooperation.\u2019 It\u2019s education at a higher level; one where everyone feels empowered and encouraged to co-create a more sustainable future together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be bringing my 20:20 vision to life in many ways. My first book that was written for the next generation of conscious entrepreneurs will be released in June this year. I\u2019ll embark on a book tour focusing on our college students \u2013 after all, they are our hope for the future. I\u2019ll be writing blogs and speaking with the most compassionate-change makers on this planet. These enlightened individuals are illuminating the path to opportunity for humankind to live work and play in an EarthKind way. Much like John Hancock (my 3x great uncle!) intended when he co-signed the Declaration of Independence, these change-makers will be the ones to re-balance and rebuild the systems required to truly uplift the human spirit to become co-creators in a collective future where all<\/u> stakeholders benefit, not just a privileged few.<\/p>\n
Lofty goals I know, but we have all been given a wake-up call and an opportunity to contribute to the future life and health of our home planet \u2013 a future where we can live and thrive in harmony. Let\u2019s not forget that we are doing this not just for ourselves, but for our children. They deserve a better future, and a voice in what that might look like. EarthKind will be giving them a voice, and I\u2019ll be sharing our new initiative with you soon.<\/p>\n
So, join me in my mission of co-creation and collaboration to drive healthy change by subscribing to our EarthKind newsletter, sharing my posts and interviews, and when it\u2019s released, reading and sharing my book for any enterprising souls that desire to turn their passion into purpose AND profit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
