Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

I am obsessed with figuring out how to make school awesome for everyone. I want to see a world where kids LOVE school, where they grow up in academic environments that empower their individual spirit’s to flourish. Most specifically, I want to eradicate the U.S. school-to-prison pipeline, which disproportionately marginalizes students of color and students with disabilities. I want kids to be thriving in the classroom, regardless of ability, race, gender, or background. The magnificent potential that lays in the minds of children must be protected and celebrated at all costs.

I would love to be mentored by someone who embodies courage and an ability to be bold in their ideas without fear of failure. I want to be surrounded by people who have no reservations regarding the destruction of oppressive systems. I want to learn how to not be intimidated by systems of authority, and more assured in capacity to impact tangible change.

I love diving into topics of race, justice, and equity. If someone is struggling to figure out how to have a conversation about these issues with a loved one/co-worker/friend, I would be more than happy to workshop ideas that will get the message across in a way that is rooted in compassion, patience, and integrity.

Sunshine cannot be your constant state of existence- it’s ok and NECESSARY for you to break down sometimes and show the world when you are struggling. You’re not weak when you feel broken or lost. Those experiences are what build your beautiful story of transformation.

I am a botany student from Denver, Colorado who is currently studying at the Kalu Yala Institute in Panama for the Spring 2016 semester. I have a deep passion for plants, positivity, and permaculture ethics. I hope to someday harmoniously integrate the deep wisdom that plants and ecosystems have to offer within our modern-day societies. When I’m not exploring the forest, you can find me tearing up the dance floor.

And I would recommend that everyone listen to any podcast by Radiolab

If I could activate the global HATCH network on a specific challenge, it would be bioremediation of our Mother Earth. Whether that is bioremediation in the form of mycelium devouring plastics, using plants and fungi to purify and clean our waters, or finding new bio-solutions to other environmental problems we presently face. I think the HATCH network could be key in designing efficient ways to globally apply these solutions. Most importantly, though, I would like to see HATCH educating and, in turn, empowering the public about these solutions that exist.

I want to learn about how to face the fear of failure head on with confidence, courage, and grace. I would love to dive even deeper with a mentor into the tangible solutions for making a local, positive environmental impact. Also, being mentored by a medicinal plant whiz would be a dream come true.

Having faced an immense amount of adversity and hardship already in my 21 years, I feel like I can offer mentorship to others on how to face hardship with a positive attitude. I excel in cognitive reframing and positive perspective shifts.

Feeling sad and despaired won’t last forever. Everyone has at one time or another felt just as lost and as lonely as you are feeling. Have patience, compassion, and love for yourself.

It would be to review and discuss the current available advanced educational research in order to produce interesting and viable practical alternatives so that we can begin replacing our current education models; helping bridge theory and practice. Also, send HATCHers to public schools in order to motivate students to develop personal success paths apart from those provided as cookie-cutter models by the school system.

Intuition. My intuition is magical, vivid, strong, sparkly; an intricately woven spider’s web which lures, inspires, captivates and creates.

Frankly I am not band-saavy...

Tim Ferris podcast and the book "BIG Magic Creative Living Beyond Fear" by Elizabeth Gilbert

My carved tree sculpture sanctuaries offer comfort, contemplation, hope and healing in hospitals and cancer centers. People feel a connection to nature and comfort in my work, which embraces the dark and light moments of being human. I would like to activate the HATCH network to support me on Patreon – a site created to crowd fund artists. I am a maker and a giver. HATCH network can help spread the word so I can make art that makes a difference.

Always learning. Often lost. I would love an accountability partner for action plan commitments. Mentorship in PR and social media resources/campaigns would be helpful.

My intuition is a strong tool for mentoring. I have a keen sense for motivating stuck and scared people. Wisdom acquired through challenge backed plenty of stories and humor to illustrate, I help stuck people look creatively at solutions. Inspiration and spark.

Don't be afraid to ask. For anything.

A social activist to the core, Amy Westberg is a passionate advocate for those who have been marginalized, experiencing homelessness, and at risk youth. At the young age of 17 she asked herself, "How do we end the cycle of poverty?" This question has driven her to find best practices in alternative sustainable housing, experiential education, and local food security.
Amy currently resides in Panama as an Agriculture Intern for the Kalu Yala Research Institute. While here, she hopes to understand how to build empowering communities which inspire individuals to be their creative selves.

Not enough is being done for war and environmental refugees fleeing for their lives as they enter into unknown countries. The HATCH network is capable of developing an organization system within specified countries to be an advocate for these particular families and individuals. Such establishments could point to resources helping refugees adjust to the culture shock, find housing and suitable education systems, gain supplies, along with treatment for post traumatic stress disorders.

I would like to have a mentor in understanding how to start up a sustainable community center focused on the marginalized communities. I want to know the techniques in how to network and raise money in order to make something like this happen. Also, I am particularly interested in sustainable architecture design and would like someone to walk me through best practices which can be applied to urban development.

I have an extensive background in working with juvenile delinquents along with families facing extreme poverty. I can offer personal advice and a small glimpse at what it is like within the homes based off of personal experience.

To the younger version of myself, never let fear or doubt cloud your mind to express the creativity you hold or think you are not capable enough to make the changes our world needs. We all contain a special gift, a voice, which should be freely expressed for all to hear. Innovation cannot take place without it. Keep following your heart and always hold onto the fire burning within you to make a difference in the lives of everyone around you.

We need to build more schools for children in the interior of the country so they can learn and have the same opportunities as those that grow in urban areas. They are the future of this country and most don't even know they're missing out on living life to its full potential.
I would love to collaborate with any Hatch member on bringing light to a project or issue that he or she feels passionate about.

In the financial aspects, how to handle my money would be nice.
I think it'd be cool to hear how a rockstar journalist made it big in his or her field so I could follow in its footsteps.

I can help with how to organize charity events or events or any social activity in general.
I'm great at writting "to do lists" and following thru, which I think has helped me be more organized at work, so I can help with techniques on being responsible, as well as translating spanish and english.

I'd tell myself to not worry. Everything will work out in the end and everything does happen for a reason. The future looks pretty good from where I'm standing and just make sure I'm living the moment so it doesn't pass me by without me noticing. Keep having fun.

Motivation and perseverance are key but the majority of the entrepreneurs usually run and spend all their resources in the dark. Closing the gap between what the entrepreneurs think customers think and what the customer actually think, asking the questions people don't like and an ubiased evidence seeker for decision making. 🙂

Life, business, education and things like passion, entrepreneurship, innovation, even happiness have become so complex, confusing and filled with requirements, tools, concepts, vocabularies, you "must" do or "have" this before you do that.

However, at its core they all sit on fundamentals, intuitive and elegant principles. We must learn to untie ourselves of what exists and what others say, to find the "Why's" in everything we believe and around us until they become so simple and so clear that we enable ourselves to live, build and do things that matter to us and becomes valuable to others.

Sister Outsider

To address the issue of the crisis of water. How we drink it, how we care for it, how we have access to it, how we interact with it, and how this all plays out in our social constructs.

I would like to have a mentor in community engagement work. In finding ways to engage across power differentials such as race, economics, gender, sexuality and all the things that cause wedges between us and hinder authentic connection. How do I have a genuine connection with someone who does not have enough to eat while I have the privilege to chose to live abroad and pursue endeavors of sustainability. How do I connect authentically with someone who has access to resources I can't even fathom. The question goes both ways. I want to bypass these to true friendship and creative partnership.

I can offer mentorship in the areas of community engagement. Sometimes when we speak about community work it sounds sweet and pretty. It is a popular thing to talk about right now. The reality though is that it takes time. It takes building relationships and learning the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the people within that community. It takes seeing their strength and being humbled by the craziness that life brings. It can be ugly and painful. It is rich and it is life.

Relax. You are so beautiful. (These were also my dad's last words)

Children's education! Kids are naturally creative though not all kids have the support and foundation to reach their full potential. Additionally, their creativity is often stifled rather than scaffolded. Children's educational media drew me in because of its ability to reach kids who might not otherwise have access to certain experiences. It also delivers content through a comfortable, inviting, and non-intimidating medium. I also want to support parents and provide them with the tools to be agents in their child's learning. I believe this enhances the potential of fostering curiosity.

1. Singing: Since I moved to NYC I haven't found the time or partner to perform with. I'd love advice for finding a musical collaborator, ideally keyboardist, and jumping into the NYC musical scene.

2. Kids TV/Games: As a formative researcher, I am always looking for new opportunities and technologies to explore and test to expand my repertoire. I'd love to connect with individuals who work in this field or ancillary fields.

As a formative researcher, I am fascinated in the art and science behind improvement. I'm happy to brainstorm and design studies to evaluate programs or products. Additionally, I'm happy to act as a sounding board for projects related to children's media, or informal learning.

Say yes! Take risks that force you to jump outside your comfort zone. Seize outstanding opportunities when they are close. Go the extra mile and push yourself when you feel those nervous excited butterflies. Do what makes you happy.

Problems can also be opportunities: they allow you to see things differently and to do things in a different way. how Panamanian weather can become an opportunity for the farmers. how can we take advantage of the extreme humidity and intense sun.

How to get organised, how to prioritise when you want to do it all at the same time, when everything is important and urgent, because tomorrow it will be maybe too late.

how to take away the tags that society put on us. we all have the capacity to change the course of our life. if we want.

Integrating conservation values with social systems to make them accessible to the general public and allow them the choice to live in a more sustainable manner. I believe with the right ideas and execution, the fusion of economics, conservation, and modern science is completely able to create a global climate that benefits both human society and the natural world, and I want to be a part of that process.

I would like to have a mentor to teach me the ins and outs of networking, and the avenues that already exist to pursue.

Better ways to research and access like-minded communities so I can get involved with people who have goals aligned with mine

Personal and mental health. I am very self aware and able to ask quality questions to get people to think of where they are coming from mentally and emotionally. I have pursued meditation and alternative philosophies for most of my adult life to gain more clarity on my own struggles and I have always found myself in the position of mentor to my friends and even strangers going through mental or social turmoil.

Don't do anything because you think you should, really consider what you want and be patient in pursuing it. Just because something takes a long time and you might not have the best resources doesn't make it impossible. Pursue your passion at all costs and don't let money or the lack there of determine your path. There will always be more money and if you put your mind to it and reach out to the right people you can accomplish anything.

After living abroad in Nepal for 4 months, I became very interested in women's education, which is a subject that eventually led me to the issue of unplanned pregnancy around the world and particularly in the US. More than any other factor, becoming pregnant limits women's opportunities, and without proper access and education about birth control, women across the US ages 18-26 are being denied the right to control their own bodies, and thus, their futures. If I could get HATCH to focus on one issue it would be this one, because I believe that would have the greatest effect on our world.

1. Revealing the power of story telling to a global audience- Maybe this is a film translated in every language- (theme of communication) Teaching it's consequences and successes throughout our personal lives, interpersonal relationships, and our collective story of humanity. Showing the dangers and the potentials. Looking at the source of prejudices and misinformation and even self limiting through the stories we tell.
2. Nature Deficit (in low income neighborhoods) - the young boy I mentor told me that the most impactful of positive memories was when I first took him hiking and into nature.

Taking a product from prototype to market. Outsourcing and tapping into the "global local." And most of all, the art of finding the right partners.

"Trend" forecasting in the visual market space. Aesthetics, composition, and fengshui in 2 and 3 dimensions.

I'm a student, software developer, entrepreneur and Sivananda yoga teacher who's lived a fair while in Zen Buddhist Monasteries. Perhaps the result of being raised by a Wall Street broker and a sincere Yogi for parents, I'm constantly striving to close the gap in life between spirituality, mindfulness, technology, and business. Currently, I've been developing a series of iOS applications merging neuroscience and deceptively-simple, immersive gameplay to teach complex topics to a wider-reaching demographic. Think flappy-bird and duolingo combined -- to teach how the brain works!

Yikes! Well, my humility may be one 🙂 If I had to say, I'd say I can communicate extremely clearly through scientific and emotional means.

I make electronic music and love it when artists push the boundaries in amazing new styles. Check out Kodomo - especially the 'concepts'

The Eight Gates of Zen (by Daido Roshi), and Structures, Or Why Things Don't Fall Down (by J.E. Gordon)

Finding ways to make learning and productive action as exciting and immersive, if not more so, than our usual entertainment. Example: using mobile platforms and high-quality gaming to teach important concepts in ways that don't feel like the classic 'educational game.' Additionally, finding ways to package mindfulness and meditation into education, and convincing our culture of its usefulness in daily life. Most likely, by using technology to demonstrate in an immediate, tangible way, the benefits of spiritual practice (experientially), and encourage further development.

I would love a mentor in game-design, software team-management, and simple (yet effective) ways to teach neuroscience. General entrepreneurial advice from those experienced would be greatly appreciated, as I'm in the beginning stages! Also, I would love to hear from any spiritual practitioners who have found ways to incorporate mindfulness and spirituality into their professional work. Of course, I'm interested in mentorship from any game designers, neuroscientists, meditators, app-developers, alchemists, and especially people who have find ways to blend these things together.

Anyone seeking to learn more about spirituality, the yogic diet (Ayurveda), meditation, yogic living, the tangible effects of these things and how to incorporate them into an extremely busy life (from personal experience). However, probably best of all, I can mentor any students in how to use their skills and creativity to carve out a life dedicated to their passions instead of having their path dictated for them externally.

Ignore the things in your life that, after trying and spending some time with them, don't fit you or make you grow. Even if people around you have hyped those things up from their own experiences, you may have a totally different personal reaction, and that's fine. Essentially, don't assume what worked for one (or many), will work for you. Your own path is beautiful, and it doesn't have to look like someone else's. 🙂

"Oh, The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss

I would like to see everyone in the world with their basic survival needs satisfied. Everyone should having access to clean water, food, shelter and education. I just came back from Ethiopia where we set up a school and clean water well for a village after raising 100,000. We have the capacity to do so much more than we are doing. In today's world, people shouldn't be dying due to lack of clean water and/or food. I believe everyone should have a chance at life and we all have a responsibility in this.

Balance. With a strong A-type personality and a very "all or nothing" mentality, I have always struggled with balance. I have a hard time turning off and am very hard on myself. I have high expectations of myself and of others on my team and would like to be nicer to myself and more patient/gentle/compassionate with my team.

Also, I would like to learn to let go. I'm a complete control freak.

I coached in a personal development program for 7 years and love working with people on their emotional limitations around money/goals etc.
Human behaviour fascinates me and I love working with people to help them see how they are limiting themselves.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Be nice to yourself, you’re doing the best you can.

Innovative products that help connect people with their creative and thoughtful self. Interactivity arts in the public spaces. Mass transit and vehicle design solutions that address the many issues coming from energy and manufacturing waste.

I would relish having a mentor that could guide my direction in product making and how to be better woven into the world of difference makers. Essentially, connecting to the legitimate ways to the betterment of things using my voice in design, art and collaboration.

I love to aid on solving complex issues. Teaching drawing and communication skills to those that share an interest in design and artful existence.

Literacy, more specifically access to literature. Rural education systems are plagued by the younger sibling syndrome- they only get what the other schools aren't using any more. This leads to unstimulated minds, both young and old, that don't have anything they feel proud and excited about knowing. So many of the world's issues are rooted in poor education, but I believe personal education, the ability to hold information in your hands, is the best way to activate young minds.

Empathy/Self-awareness. I tend to go a mile a minute and at times miss when I've left someone behind, which just leads to frustration for all parties.

I'm a great organizer and prioritizer. I see a lot of people shy away from the hard questions that would allow them to set better goals and get more done.

I believe technology is a great tool to change the world if used wisely.

Your most difficult obstacle is yourself. Don't limit yourself with your current knowledge and skills. Keep learning and step outside of your comfort zone by trying new things. Work hard but take it easy and be kind to yourself. Being a workaholic is not a good thing. It is the worst addiction one could suffer because society applauds it. And don't waste your time with people and things just to be responsible or nice. Learn to be assertive. The path to success is filled with failures. Every "no" gets you closer to a "yes". Success is living the life you want. What does that life look like?

the ability to listen, understand, and empathize with others by trying to put myself in someone else's shoes.

If I could activate the Hatch network to collaborate on one particular issue it would be child poverty and improving their lives through education, nutrition, and extracurricular activities such as sports, photography, or agriculture.

I would like to have a mentor in areas such as building my communication and confidence in my communication and networking skills. Another area would be to help activate my passions for creating things such as baking and photography and again- being confident in my abilities and to pursue more learning opportunities. Another top area of desired mentorship would be finding a way to make a world impact while utilizing my desire to travel and make a positive impact in the lives of the youth world wide.

If I could give the younger version of myself advice, it would be to really apply myself to things that interest me and not hold back because of fear of what others might think of me. I would tell myself to always be proud of who I am and never lose sight of my true values.

Connecting & simplifying. Connecting concepts, opportunities and people into something tangible and actionable.

U2, Jack Johnson

"The business model canvas" for business. "The 5 love languages" for personal life. One extra, as a classic, "A hundred years of solitude"

1) Connecting the parallel realities of the rich and poor in Latin America

If the path of people living in these two parallel worlds was to cross in a meaningful way allowing for a deep understanding of each other's needs and reality, development would be an easier conversation.

2) Improving quality of education in Latin America

This is a must for improving quality of life of everyone, especially those living in poverty, and it needs to happen now. This implies rethinking what is education, redesigning the system that delivers it and the path to achieve it.

- Integrating family life and ambitious dreams.
- Staying connected to innovation and thought leaders from my new home, Panama.

- Changing paths and careers with confidence.
- Starting from scratch
- Connecting the profit and non-profit sectors.
- Travel and adventure as a vehicle for personal growth
- Working at a startup, family enterprise or a corporation.

Do not take life or things so seriously! Relax and enjoy the journey. Be kind to yourself, no one is perfect. Learn from every stumble and focus on your personal growth. You can change yourself but not others, and the actions of others are their own choice, not a reflection of something that you say or do.
Be humble, always listen more than you speak and do not forget to celebrate your achievements!
Never stop exploring the world and travel as much as you can. The experience will enrich you with new perspectives and memories.

Nigel Cummings is a New York born designer and student at Kalu Yala currently taking a break from his architectural studies at the Rhode Island School of Design.

My real life superpower is my ability to view problems from both sides of the arguments and then working with both sides to solve the issue.

I would recommend Grouper, the solo project of Liz Harris

The lack of incorporation of the natural world in design is an issue I am most strongly interested in. This is one of the main reasons for my deciding to study architecture and urban planning. I believe that communities work better together and foster environments ideal for individual and community growth when they have something to be proud of. This access to green space improves every aspects of life for residents and I would love to see future communities designed with the natural world in mind. In order to save our world we must give future generations something to be proud of.

I am an architecture + urban design student interested in alternative forms of design, the availability of well designed public recreation spaces, public health and wellness design and in community enrichment. I would appreciate a mentor who understands the world of architecture and planning and who is also knowledgeable in the world of uncommon design practices and materials. I am most interested in challenging the norms of architecture and design but know that I can not do so without some form of mentorship.

I do not believe that I can offer mentorship at this stage in my life.

As I am only twenty years old I do not believe that I have anything substantial to tell my younger self.

I can offer guidance in documentary: Getting to the truth, to the story and telling it in an effective way. Also, I can share my tips on how to live life as an independent artist and all that requires both outside and inside oneself to not just survive, but to thrive.

You are the engine and need to be maintained well to run well, long after the current challenge is accomplished. So make sure you take care of yourself, no matter what. Listen not just to what you know you need to do to accomplish the goal, but also when you need to rest and regenerate. Your instincts are honed when they are headed.

He started to work with his hands at a young age, when he was 15 yrs old became a classic car collector, moved to professional racing and served for 3 years in IDF. He was working in designing aspects of the night life scene of TEL AVIV for 4 years and became known the TEL AVIV art scene, as one of the most unique artists in ISRAEL.

Selina is only a year old, and is quickly growing from 2 locations to 10 by the end of 2016, and over 90 premiere locations within the next 4 years. To accomplish scaling at this rate with such artisan craftsmanship, Oz has been training ex-gang members to be carpenters, builders, and welders. Oz never studied in any college/university, always believed in his own way of learning and doing, and now he's mentoring,

It is an enormouos issue that is present all around the world, so tackling it may seem like a daunting task and perhaps useless. However, it is imperative that we, the minds of the present, begin to address this complex set of problems. How can we create a sustainable food system that nourishes our population.

Immigration. It is such a convoluted, worldwide issue. So much beauty has come of it, yet so much hatred and harm as well. Given it's complexity, it seems extremely difficult to find an adequate solution.

In México, farmers are having trouble selling corn because they're having to compete with corn that is imported from the U.S. It's becoming cheaper to import it from the U.S. since it's subsidized there, instead of growing it. This is very unfortunate since corn has been a staple food of the Mexican diet for centuries. It threatens farmer's livelihoods, as well as their ability to keep a natural, non-genetically modified strain from disappearing. Essentially, I'd love to help with trying to keep Monsanto from doing in México what they've done in the U.S. to strains of corn.

Entrepreneuriship. I've been working in the corporate world ever since I graduated college, and I'm now starting a new chapter in my life in which I want to dedicate myself to freelancing and consulting, employing the experience I've gained so far. I've never done this before, so an insight would be greatly appreciated!

I'd also love to have a mentor to help me understand the data science & analytics world. I'm seeking to start a master's degree in that field in 2017, so any prep work I can start doing toward that would help me be better prepared.

Content strategy & social media, engaging audiences and knowing what makes them tick so as to elicit responses. If there are people out there seeking to understand the content & editorial world, I can help.

Also, soul-searching. I've practiced going deep within myself for many years, and have taken courses on spiritual psychology to get me there. I'm happy to share some of the knowledge I've acquired in this space.

I had a conversation recently with my 13-year old self. I told myself deep within that going through hardship at that tender young age was part of life, and that it was ok not knowing how to express thoughts or feelings when I didn't have the words or means to do so at that time. But it IS important to process life events as I grow wiser, so I tell myself to use the tools life has given me to go back and reshape my memories. Even if it takes decades, I'm telling my younger self to use life's learnings to remember past events in ways that serve my highest self and nurture my soul.

Get out of your shell and connect with people. Don't be afraid of anything.

I am focused making the world work for 100% of humanity, using the power of cleantech to create a healthier, more just, prosperous and safer world. Climate change is a lever - let's use it to create maximum good.

I work with Energy Excelerator, a non-profit cleantech incubator funded by the Navy, Department of Defense, Department Of Energy, and others. We fund 15 companies a year, up to $1m per company and use Hawaii as a test-bed to scale renewable energy (solar energy, wind power and more) water tech, sustainable agriculture etc.

Work hard, play hard.

I am focused on cleantech development and deployment, so any allies in that are great.

Last year I led an effort to help Burning Man create a sustainability policy/plan. Help, ideas on that are also welcome.

Anything in energy or environment - I'm a sponge and want to know more.

My pet interest is astronomy/cosmology/quantum physics and I always have questions that I need plain language answers to. Can I text you at random?!

Life, career, cleantech!

Be unapologetic about what you like and don't like, but don't be lazy or close-minded. Let your geekiness and your passion drive you into rabbit holes - you'll always learn something. Elevate your heart rate once a day.

Education- making it more accessible to all people in developing countries

I would love to have a mentor who could teach me about environmental issues, and alternative solutions to help resolve those issues. To have someone who could brainstorm ideas about education reform with me or someone with whom I could discuss feminist ideals and how best to bring about equality. In addition to these things, I would really appreciate a photography mentor who could help me improve my skill and knowledge of telling stories visually.

Although I am young, I feel as though I could offer help to those who want to travel and to those who are in school, studying. Additionally, I could help mentor people who want to learn Spanish or who want to learn more about feminism.

If I could give advice to a younger version of myself, I would want to say that
the world is a beautiful thing- although it may be scary and overwhelming and seemingly plagued with problems, don't hesitate to leap with open arms and search for good in all places.

I have never had a mentor, and have created my own direction in the field of design. I never formally studied business, so being an autodidact in that field, insight and support in bringing my vision for a sustainable design business to life would be ideal.

I would love pass my knowledge in all things design and sustainability to others.

Beatles and Ray Charles, now and always. Good is good.

Connective Leadership, Jean Lipman-Blumen: leadership for change. The Big Pivot, Andrew Winston: rings the bell for business & climate.

I am working on saving species and preventing suffering, human and other, by using art to convey science and engage people emotionally on climate change. I have been working on launching Climate Salons - facilitated working sessions that bring together creatives from all disciplines - to catalyze multidisciplinary teams in different cities to work on climate change solutions. I would love to collaborate with the HATCH network to launch Climate Salons faster and better - to have more impact. I also have created a sustainability leadership program that I would like to grow.

I need help making Climate Creatives financially sustainable and robust to grow. Help thinking about business model, governance structure, (Corp vs 501C3), new key relationships, funding sources. Getting ready for what might be some expansive growth this year and next. Planning for an enlarged team. Finding and managing pro-bono help and interns.

Sustainability thinking in organizations: how does a venture lower their carbon footprint, increase their humanity? What factors should they consider? Leadership/innovation team building. Building a network. Rallying volunteers. Personal reinvention and perseverance.

Follow your passion. Have faith in yourself. You can have a huge impact on the world if you think you can. There's no one out there more suited to doing what you want to do if you are fully committed. And if you're not fully committed, find something else. If something isn't working, make a change.

- Mentoring on education: to get a masters degree or not to get a masters degree ?

Take some time off after high school and try new things, meet new people, see what's out there and then decide what you want to study in college. Work harder. Pay more attention to the opportunities you are given. Read more. Get involved. When you don't know enough about something, research it, ask questions.
