I write, speak, invest, network, and question to stimulate fruitful conversation. Let's talk about human flourishing! It begins with freedom. Holy leisure is the key to human being, freedom and generativity. Please join me in the adventure of realizing Christ!
Do you have an idea for a ‘Catholic cultural initiative’?

Catholic – Hint: nuns on the bus R not us!
Local – Lawrence, KS and surrounding area, or local to friends and family of JOY
Open – May involve Catholics and non-Catholics
Seed – Has potential to grow and multiply
Leverage – Creators leverage small financial capital by investing labor, passion, time
