May 6, 2009 Short Writeup

Hello! My name is John and my interest in life is nonprofit work. Actually, I have been interested in the nonprofit movements and approach to life for many years and I am actually quite concerned that our world is based is more fixated on the profit paradigm than the sustainable one. My primary aspirations are comprised of the brainstorming and philosophical research that I hope Will lead to a better and corrected future on our planet. Humanity cannot continue to follow the path of profit and greed if it seeks to retain balance and harmony with nature and each other. The better future we all desire requires that we adopt a more responsible and altruistic approach to living, rather than continuing to allow ourselves to be motivated by selfishness. I produce a small but growing podcast radio show with my partner Thomas and we explore the difficult concepts that remain ignored by the vast majority of our planet's people. Our message is neither complicated or controversial and we continue to find it perplexing that it remains so distinct and unique. In all honesty we can't find rival or parallel shows with which to compare ourselves and measure our progress. I suspect that the commercial tradition on this planet has been so overwhelmingly entrenched that people are merely sluggish and unaccustomed to the nonprofit parity based message that we advocate. The world has been deadlocked with it's greed-based assumptions for eons but we have faith that in due time humanity will come to it's senses and awaken to a new renaissance of our own making. All that is required of us is persistence and the bravery to overcome the short-sighted and unproductive selfishness that has restrained our true potential for far too long.
