Back in April 2023 I visited Italy for the first time to attend the final Plant Power Italia retreat hosted by Rich Roll and his wife Julie Piatt. We stayed in a gorgeous renovated farmhouse villa nestled in the Tuscan hills between Florence, Siena and Arezzo. Our...
The Story That Nearly Started an Argument and What It Taught Me About Connection
Yesterday I grabbed a coffee with my friend, Simon, who is visiting us in Portugal for a few days. He shared an update on his RegenChoice project, designed to help people connect with the job, community, or partner they're looking for. Kind of like a matchmaking...

Tell me what lights you up, where you’re flummoxed, and how I can help. We’ll set off for a conversation that surprises and delights us both.
