As a leader for several community organizations in recreation, education, arts, travel/transportation and entrepreneurship, I have been studying the difference between employment (through Indeed and Zip Recruiter) and the CORE calling of individuals to grow where they are planted, develop the skills they are naturally given and nurtured in, and match their disposition, nature/nurture, and aptitude with the needs of the communities they serve. So many of our communities face challenges in economics, ecology, and education, and the solutions can be solved by responsible entrepreneurship.

Taking Responsibility for Starting Something Good

I have always known what I was going to do and what my Soul Work is, and what it boils down to is communications. As a trained journalist, artist and musician, I have adapted my work to areas that needed my services: health care, presentations, education, recreation, arts, travel, and entrepreneurial endeavors. Media, marketing, acting, voice work and singing, publishing and broadcasting have been part of my communications practice for over 56 years. When I have been involved in the communities I serve, the work has been most satisfying. Most of my career has been performance-based pay — cultivating support, creating, producing and distributing product, and advertising. In community work, sponsorship and membership have been key factors in my revenue. That is part of being responsible for my personal and local economy.

Community Profiles

Every week, on a Wednesday or Thursday, I cultivate a number of entrepreneurial opportunities, training and mentorship, licensing and investments. None of these are franchises. With Leadon Family Foundation, Sound Century Academy of Recording Arts and Broadcasting, and Valley Parks and Recreation, we do not have employees — we run on entrepreneurship and mentorship. You don't need a job; you need to do the work you are called to.
