How often do a group of global change-makers pause their busy lives to write a thoughtful response to this question: “What do I know to be true right now, and how did I come to that realization?” — Rarely, if ever.
Rays of Truth is what happens when this challenge is accepted. It is a book of short essays written by 25 people from the Corporate Unplugged Forum who were brave enough to answer the question and share their perspectives as part of a diverse collection. I am proud to be one of the co-authors of this collaborative book initiative, which was self-published and self-created from start to finish.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have. It is a wonderful journey of personal reflection and wisdom that will grow with you over the years.

2020 Global Game Citizen
I wanted to share an honor I received last week in the midst of the chaos and joy of having our baby girl arrive.
The Game Awards (“Oscars” of video game industry) named me a 2020 Global Game Citizen for my work with Neuroscape and Akili Interactive, and presented a video honor during their awards show viewed by over 45 million people.
It was challenging to film during the pandemic and I have since questioned the wisdom of rocking my COVID beard, but comments on YouTube made it worth it : )
– “This dude look like he walked outta ancient Greece”
– “Plato has nothing on this guy”
