“…push the envelope and recognize the interconnectedness of all.”

Alright, all my favorite people seem to have birthday this month : ). Here is to a visionary who works for the long run - Jochen Zeitz . His work for conservation and sustainable development in business is incredible. Check out his projects like the B Team, the Zeitz Foundation and Segera Retreat to see how its done. It’s a man who came from the corporate world of relentless pursuit of profit, yet manages to keep his head on his shoulders, sees the big picture of things and continuously promotes a balance of conservation, community, culture and commerce. Wish there were more good men like him.

Here I illustrated him with his Segera team in Africa, with Mount Kenya, elephants and the iconic g-aamy plane (the exact one from out ‘Out of Africa’ btw) in the background.

“If each of us were to do our own share of good whether small or large to improve the way we live, think and act, to push the envelope and recognize the interconnectedness of all, then the world would undoubtedly change for the better.”
