We have the power to reshape reality with the connections we make and the stories we tell ourselves and each other.Three years ago, my startup to democratize manufacturing worldwide went under before it could launch and left me homeless.You hear "no one is coming to save you" but I found community saving me over and over through this journey. They say your network is your net worth -- I say true wealth is people.While rebuilding my life and navigating my own limiting beliefs about asking for help, I discovered something incredible:The solutions are out there, the future is here, we just haven't held the press conference.The solutions were everywhere I looked, we just didn't have any influencers telling the stories to inspire more people to create more of this.
Connection Engine is the sixth iteration of that original startup. A media company documenting how hidden economic solutions that rewire wealth and power can go mainstream.Through my publication The Saving the World Strategy Guide, I gamify world change - because joy, fun, and play are the way forward, not focusing on our problems, but on getting together with some friends and building the future we want.Despite moving over 20 times in three years, living on donations, and navigating challenges like autism and chronic illness, my content has reached over half a million+ views and consistently converts skeptics into believers.Strangers keep opening their arms to me, proving that community wealth isn't just theory.Through my research on Culture Science, I've found that we as communicators, influencers, and storytellers have the power to reshape reality through the stories we tell ourselves and each other.Community wealth is the new story.If the world understood true wealth is each other and this is already happening all around them, this would all shift overnight.I'm now continuing my mission to change beliefs about what's possible by getting these stories out into the world.Here's how you can help:

"I can't do great things.
But I can do small things.
And if we all do small things,
then together we can do a great thing"
Reece, G'Wed

You might not believe it, but a better world isn't only possible, it's already emerging.
And we're about to catalyse it.

Wellbeing economies are the future.
Community wealth is how we get there.
And connection is how we start.

What is Connection Engine?

Drivers Coop colorado

A community owned rideshare is gaining traction in Colorado, paying drivers more while riders still pay less, and giving back to the community. A network of these people-owned rideshares is growing across the US. With public support, we could replace the megacorps in this sector in a very short timescale. Read More.
