Meet Greg Apodaca | Explorer in our future of exponential change

We had the good fortune of connecting with Greg Apodaca and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Greg, how does your business help the community?
It provides a new approach to. finding climate emergency solutions, and also helps shift consciousness so we wont screw the planet up again, and nurtures a culture that enables a. peaceful coexistence.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I consider myself to be an artist whose canvas is our community and world, and with a goal to help save the planet from ecological disaster and make life better afterward.

What sets. me apart if my focus on the future and being. able to merge ideas from different disciplines and bring them together into a more effective hybrid.

I am most excited about. the opportunity to reach for my own full potential as the same time as helping humanity reach for its collective potential, which will be needed if we are to save the planet from the climate emergency.

It has been a 37 year journey of personal growth that got me to where I am. It was not easy at all in fact it was really hard applying personal growth in my life at the same time as applying it in my community.

I overcame challenges because early on in life I saw it was possible to live a passionate life, versus just existing, and I wanted that badly enough to keep pushing through the hardships and pain.

Lessons and ahas.
1. We have no idea of our potential to create the world anew.
2. Soon all of humanity will have smart phones and thus the possibility of us all being in on the same conversation: what will we discuss, who will write the agenda, how can I be in on that process, if we agree to do anything together how will that be possible?
3. We have the technology now to edit our own DNA and so influence evolution. 4. For the first time in history humanity faces a challenge, the climate emergency, that we have to overcome or perish forever. We have to come together globally or die.

I want the world to know I did my best and contributed what I could. I want to feel this myself too.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Locations: Drive PCH north near Big Sur in a convertible. Go wine tasting in the Anderson Valley north toward Mendocino also in a convertible, drive south. through the redwoods toward Mendocino.

Hang out and drink with my friends on the deck in my back yard and watch the sunset on the San Gabriel Mountains.

Watch the phiharmonic play at the Hollywood Bowl.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Several explorers come to mind when I think of influencers of my life.

Peter Diamandis and his book, Abundance, showed me how our future would be much different than our past.

Stephen Covey’s book, The 8th Habit, illustrated the importance of finding my purpose in life.

Peter Senge’s book, Presence, outlined a model for sustaining transformation.

Peter Drucker’s essay, Managing Knowledge Means Managing. Oneself, described how mankind would have to manage itself for the first time ever, and how society was totally unprepared for it.

PSI Seminars for introducing me to personal growth and transformation.

John Nash for explaining how the best way to achieve our individual goals is pursuing them together with others.
