The Art of Mindful Acquisition - Building a Startup with Soul
Take a trip through the process of lifting an idea from the page of a sketchbook and bringing it into reality - the building of Eqogo, a tech company created to solve one of our most pressing issues: overconsumption. This image-rich presentation seeks to inspire people to step outside their silos and comfort zones to make their voices heard and ideas seen.

I’ll show examples of my personal path as a futurist and commercial-artist-turned-entrepreneurial-activist to illustrate one such journey to making a profound impact in our collective behaviors.
