Guiding Principles

We operate from the assumptions that…

  • Knowledge is power, and fluency in physical skills fosters confidence & self-sufficiency

  • Monetary wealth is not more valuable than skill

  • Both money and knowledge are to be shared

  • We must model the behavior and industries we wish to see

  • Cultures & systems of oppression are built

  • Shifting culture is an ongoing project

Furthermore, we…

  • Are rooted in equity and the processes required to achieve it

  • Ask one other to learn and grow with care & humility

  • Allow ourselves to grow, change & make mistakes, knowing growth is not possible without discomfort, and questioning our underlying assumptions

  • Must mobilize for change in our own businesses and our industries at large

  • Are committed to offering what resources we do have to support the building of a more generative, inclusive future
