Entrepreneurial Idealism and the Integral Model (Part 1)

Entrepreneurial Idealism and the Integral Model. Part 1. Introducing Zaadz.

”Brian Johnson is the co-Founder and Philosopher/CEO of social networking phenomenon Zaadz.com, a website which is one of Integral Institute’s esteemed “Integral Friends.”*  A 32-year-old font of idealism-in-action, Brian is a rather extraordinary example of the passion, creativity, and drive of an emerging wave of integrally-oriented twenty- and thirty-somethings worldwide.

“So what is Zaadz anyway?  Let’s start with the name: as Brian explains, zaad is Dutch for “seed,” and in the same way that an acorn has the potential to grow into an oak, each one of us has a “seed” within us that can unfold into our own highest potential, and Zaadz wants to support us every step of the way.  Following hot in the steps of personal transformation, the Zaadz mission is as follows: “We’re gonna change the world.  Our math goes like this: you be the change + you follow your bliss + you give your greatest strengths to the world moment to moment to moment + we do everything in our power to help you succeed + you inspire and empower everyone you know to do the same + we team up with millions like us = we just affected billions = we (together) changed the world”—bet you’ve never seen a social networking site say that before!”

I also like Brian's reference to the latent energy - within the seed - to transform itself, so to speak, into whatever it was genetically designed to BE and to provide survival instincts to cope with the environmental influences of life itself - such that planting 10 acorns from the same tree will produce 10 completely different oak trees !
