Co-Founder & Board Chair, The Holon Institute
Joel is a social philosopher, futurist, and burgeoning poet whose work aims to cultivate depth and circularity in the shallows of western culture’s linear meaning economy. In his cross-sector work, he practices "applied imagination" – a way of being, doing, and becoming that transcends disciplanary bounds – to concieve, incubate, and scale ideas conducive to an emergent future in which all life on earth exists in right relationship to both the parts and the whole of existence. Joel is a passionate champion of corporate heterodoxy and speaks globally about the critical role of human imagination and shared grief in shaping our collective future.
