Gregory Kennedy is the Director of Operations at W(e)IRD World (Wild Idea Research & Development at wierdworld.xyz). They support global charitable initiatives focused on some of society\u2019s most urgent challenges such as food insecurity, sustainable development, and climate change.\n\nGregory and WIRD work with people who want to do good for themselves, for their communities and around the world.\xa0\n\nFor the past 15 years he has been developing and producing media, technology and education projects utilizing mindfulness-based solutions to social and environmental issues.\n\nGregory sees his role as a Mentor and mentee who finds ways to include all the people together to serve their best roles in what he calls a Mosaic of people. He believes that Kindness is a superior business model that, within set parameters, can scale better than competitiveness, frustration, pettiness, regret, revenge, merit (whatever that means) or apathy.\n\nIn this conversation we talk about being a model of the world we want to live in. We unpack race relations and overcoming prejudice by being exposed to one another. We discuss blockchain as a way of creating trust when there isn't\xa0 trust. We reflect on how the philosophy and proliferation of nonviolence has changed the world. We also bond about the perspective that's gained by living abroad and seeing how other people live, and then being able to look back at the United States and current political trends from an outside perspective. And get really deep into sports as an analogy for politics. The take home is: Don\u2019t get overconfident, don\u2019t think that any win is an absolute win, and always try to play a better game.
