Why community?

We always have one thing in common, we are all becoming something.

I see myself as a compassionate community organizer who looks to best allocate the resources of any size community or group.
All of the resources I need or that you need to solve complex problems are at the fingertips of any community. I bring those hands together.

Why creativity?

Issues and opportunities are complex.
Creative solutions that involve all stakeholders are necessary. I keep the spirit and soul of many in mind. This encourages creative solutions that include ownership.

I discover new ways to turn multiple visions into practical reality using my cultural, social, business and economic knowledge.

Music builds community, share a song with me and you just might see it in a post, tweet, training, exercise, or with my non-profit Community Records Foundation.

When the end is just the beginning

By: Justin - December 15, 2009, at 12:49 am

I’ve just finished my class “Social Web for Social Change,” an elective at my progressive MBA program here at Bainbridge Graduate Institute. First and foremost, I am a social being (we all kinda are) and my generation’s upbringing leaves me destined to being online. This influence doesn’t not leave me. So while the class is [...]

Learning How to Share - A Dichotic Tension

By: Justin - October 30, 2009, at 12:30 am

Is it love from my parents? Should I have been coddled more? Communities form around sharing of some kind, the mutual fellowship or shared experience. I often question my ability to contribute to the communities I am in. This is especially unclear in how casually the word community can be used. Even Wikipedia states that [...]

Comparing Online vs. Offline

By: Justin - October 28, 2009, at 12:16 am

Tonight was a good night of work at the theater. It all went by quickly. This was due to jovial conversation, joking, and comradeship. Just fun. The tips were good and I didn’t seem to have much on my mind.
When I got home, of course after going out for a beer, stress via my living [...]

Where the Disscussion Should Be: Planning and strategic direction, a conversational fix to consistent failure

By: Justin - May 1, 2009, at 4:00 pm

I’ve heard many organizations talk and talk about creating visions, mission statements, a strategic direction, partnerships, and etc. Often all of this talk never equals much change. There is this disconnect between following the planning steps to a ‘T’ and actual success.
Let’s think a bit about the container for success:
[vision, skills, incentive, [...]

Building your own glass ceiling

By: Justin - August 9, 2008, at 10:54 pm

To overwhelm yourself, is to be human. I don’t think any of us are free of that. I think it is most often self-created, which is why it’s probably the most intimidating foe. Built with words of false perception, sometimes it feels like reality. Viewing it this way makes it seems [...]
