Overview

FLOW is an emerging movement dedicated to liberating the entrepreneurial spirit and focusing it on the goals of sustainable peace, prosperity, and happiness for all, in the next 50 years.

The word FLOW, refers to an optimal state of human experience in which individuals are fully engaged in  creative endeavors, experiencing fulfillment,  happiness,  and well-being; and the means by which increases in the  free global flow of goods, services, capital, people, and information will accelerate  human  progress  and well-being.

FLOW's purpose is to serve as an entrepreneur of meaning to other organizations and initiatives; to put forth an inspiring vision, point to examples of the vision applied, catalyze inquiry, dialog, and action; and to cultivate awareness of the powerful role creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs play in the evolution and elevation of humanity, and to describe and foster those social, cultural, and legal conditions that will allow for increasingly effective entrepreneurial solutions to all problems.

As such FLOW's primary "actions" will consist of community building – on-line and in-person (including creating FLOW circles and participating in events), and media/education initiatives. FLOW's primary role now and in the future will be as guide to positive action rather than as an actor. FLOW's purpose is not to initiate projects directly.  There are already many thousands of superb initiatives already activated or in development.

FLOW's expertise and value-added will be focused on providing:

  1. An over-arching context and understanding of how to focus individual initiatives to achieve global goals of sustainable peace, prosperity, and happiness.
  2. A network of and for individuals who want to join others who are focusing their personal initiatives on achieving these positive goals through tangible and practical means.

FLOW was co-founded by innovative educator Michael Strong and John Mackey, co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods. For background on Michael and John, click on the About Us link.
