Chad, Interior Designer (Creator)

"My first project was as a result of doing a TV show for HGTV.  I did an episode of Designer finals, which I auditioned for at California College of the Arts.  I was selected and set out to raise the bar on home redo reality shows.  We finished early, with a professional looking project, and I had proven what I was capable of."

Darley, Travel Journalist (Adventurer)

"With Equitrekking, we started the first online television channel dedicated to horses and travel.  This was new and innovative, and required learning a lot about new technologies and how to efficiently and feasibly manage to integrate online video and news at a low cost."

Ethan,Nonprofit Administrator (Nurturer)

"Yeah, I won Survivor.   But you don't need something like this to make a difference in the world.   When we started Grassroot Soccer, it was just four dudes who loved soccer, Africa, and saving lives.  We buckled down and learned how to start a 501c3, get a Board of Directors, and write bylaws and grants."

Charmaine, Conservationist (Adventurer)

"When I'm in the field, generally a typical day would include travelng to a remote area of the Chesapeake Bay and supervising volunteers on our research vessel and on one of the protected islands.  For a typical restoration event  like this, my team might plant up to 100,000 marsh plants!"

Kevin, Meteorologist (Data Head)

"The most important skill in my job is knowledge of forecasting the weather.  Despite what some think, I don't get my information from somewhere else, and a lot of energy and time go into making an accurate forecast.  This is especially true in severe storm situations."

Gina, Professional Organizer (Entrepreneur)

"People share the most intimate details of their lives with me.  I think our sessions tend to feel like therapy, and in a way they are, because we are purging 'stuff.'  Clients have told me things they haven't even shared with their spouses or children!"

Chris, Speechwriter (Networker)

"In grade school I was an active public speaker, and then I ran for student council in high school.  I fell in love with politics from there, and continued with it in college.  The love of writing came later, when I realized that I could help my clients articulate their thoughts in a way that would move people."
