I have always found arlingon a strange place close to DC (poliical- madness) so arlington is world epicentre of social entrepreneurs www.ashoka.org who dont seem to scale; now where bezos has impact; it used to host extraordinary 1776 hub with over 500 tech incubators but thats closed; there are probably 20 people at organisiation of american states, idb, world bank I could ask to join in or zoom in ; while jim kim was at world bank they had lot of belief at least on health and annual youth summits- if its worth a go at a fortnightly meet please suggest a time best for both of you and lets start; if the cafe idea doesnt work but we can advance something via linkedin or lunchclub lets try that - over to you both!! ps i am looking at NFT crypto financing - while most madden me its a bit like go fund me on steroids in earmarking money for one community as potential world change gravity- 6000 educators are uniting round one nft ED3- I aim to meet its founder as my number 1 diary call- I have put many additional links at www.sdgoats.com (greatest of all time) and www.un2dao.com -also i gather mackey retires from whole foods in a few weeks - I dont know if this means he's unwell or going to regroup around empowering conscious connectirs- theres a hell of a lot to do on food because of putin- I do know the person who has been at world bank main person on food index data for 16 years if his intel can help anyone you know i can try and facilitate that; in fact even if the prize doesnt work - cataloguing who has intel by each goal is something I aim to do and release the last version of www.2025report.com - a quest for sustainability solutions dad at the economist and i started publishing 1984 after dad had since 1951 meeting von neumann applied his journalist scoop what to do with 100 times more tech per decade; ironically it was dads 1976 survey entrepreneurial revolution (italian advocate romano prodi) which inspired drayton to start ashoka but I have never been able to find out which of the 5000 entrepreneurs in his stable scales and collabs -its much easier to go in ashoka and start getting quorum if you are not a 71 year old white man.
