Let's explore how to live intentionally, embrace our multipotentiality, share our gifts, build authentic relationships, and have tons of gratitude. No prior experience necessary.

The Offers and Needs Market Logo

Imagine a place where what you offer matters and what you need is valued. That's the Offers and Needs Market – a lively, guided exchange where groups swap skills, stuff, and support.

Whether it’s free, bartered, or paid, people match offers and needs on anything you can imagine like tech help, a place to live, project partners, or some extra produce.

The Puttyverse Logo

What if you could build a life around all your interests instead of limiting your passions, skills, and creative outlets for a “someday” that may never come?

We and hundreds of our puttypeep (a.k.a. our members) agree that the Puttyverse is the place to be for multipotentialites of all ages, cultures, and experience levels.

Smart and Simple Matters Cover

My Smart and Simple Matters podcast explores the slower, simpler side of life: think mindfulness, real connections, and meaningful conversations.

No new episodes since 2019, but it’s still going strong with chats on meditation (hi, Andy Puddicombe), belonging (hey, Cormac Russell), and even death (yep, with Humaira Hamid) … among many other topics.

NeighborGood Logo

NeighborGood is a framework you can use to create cohesion on your block, cul-de-sac, road, apartment floor, or anywhere else neighboring takes place.

We’re just people who build community where we live.
