This is a non-exhaustive list of recent ventures or projects I’ve either been directly involved with; or of people, whose character, personality, their respective works and/or companies have made a positive impression in how I view or interact with the world. If I had limitless time and resources, I would enlist them all and think of wonderful ways to introduce them properly.
