What Our Stakeholders Are Saying

  • "Christian has been a key advisor and fire starter of our psychedelic social club. We would not have the strength of our mycelium network without him.

    —Jacob Tell, Chief Dreamer, District 216

  • "Writing a recommendation for Christian is not easy - describing him with the typical labels or placing him into a single category doesn't do him justice. He's more strategic than a connector (making that talent alone extremely valuable), develops immediate trust and credibility with everyone he meets, and is simultaneously passionate and soberly blunt. He is comfortable staying in a narrowly defined objective to be productive or managing the complexity of giant hunting. Bottom line - he chooses you rather than the other way around. If he believes in you, your business or your mission, he'll make something valuable happen."

    - Marc Ferguson, CEO and Cofounder @ Regenysis | Climate Infrastructure

  • "Christian is masterful at generating meaningful connections not because he must, but because he cares. I admire how Christian effortlessly weaves passion, purpose, and process. He's future focused AND fully present, he's outcome driven AND process focused. Clearly I'm a fan of Christian's capacity to hold paradox and get stuff done."

    - Eric Kaufmann, Managing Partner, Sagatica

  • "Your dedication and passion are truly remarkable, and your friendly approach made it a pleasure to collaborate with you. I look forward to continuing our partnership and achieving even greater success together. Thank you for being an invaluable asset to our team!"

    - Kyle Loucks, CEO, RollPros
