Beyond the Bottom Line: A Vision for a Values-Driven Future

What if our obsession with money is actually limiting human potential rather than expanding it? This question lies at the heart of Yancey Strickler's revolutionary vision. As co-founder of Kickstarter, he witnessed firsthand how challenging conventional financial wisdom could create remarkable possibilities. His platform has channeled billions of dollars to creative projects that traditional investors would have dismissed as unprofitable. This success story isn't just about a company - it's about reimagining what's possible when we expand our definition of value beyond monetary returns. At a time when growing inequality and environmental challenges force us to question whether financial maximization has become destructive rather than constructive, Strickler offers a compelling alternative path forward.
