A behind the scenes conversation with Caleb Clark about what was going on in his business, where it was going, how that affected him personally and what came out of having gone through the development of his big dream and guiding document.

"I had no clear idea of what the experience was going to look like but my assumption was that we would come out the other side with a commonly shared vision, values, mission etc for once. I thought that it would be all figured out in one session." - Caleb

I've worked as an entrepreneur and creative professional alongside my wife Maya Corona for 15 years. During that journey I've come to accept that the traditional paradigm of business is just not setup to support the creative potential of human beings. The process lacks the special care and attention to make sure we don't kill off creativity.
