I spent the latter half of this week at an incredible retreat center called 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley, California (the sunrise photo this week is from the trip). My friend and the co-founder of New Story, Brett Hagler, hosted a small event called Camp Redwood for social impact founders and senior leaders. I served as emcee […]
