SVI Hudson Valley: Retreat for Social Entrepreneurs
This new initiative ranks up there with TEDxLongDock as one of the most personally stimulating things I’ve done throughout my varied, meandering career. I hope you can join me and the world-class entrepreneurial talent we're gathering at Omega Institute in May.

TEDxLongDock: This is What Community Looks Like
Save Us. Be Creative!
Think about how many of your friends and acquaintances work for themselves — not just those with their own business, but also those who freelance or consult (whether full or part time).

While the positive impact of cultural institutions is pretty much conventional wisdom at this point, the larger creative economy that includes DIY (do-it-yourself) makers and small, creative businesses is less understood.
