I am grateful for the moments of awe and wonder we can train ourselves to appreciate even while the world resembles a dump truck on fire rolling downhill.

I am deeply grateful for the lessons I’ve learned through A Leader’s Journey—from the courage, humility, and heart of Hawai‘i’s leaders. Each conversation has been a reminder of what it means to serve with purpose and aloha. I am so thankful that our islands are in such good hands.

I’m grateful for my ʻohana and the people around me who took risks and supported us in building Shifted Energy from concept to acquisition. What a ride it has been, I’m grateful for the opportunity to show what you can do with vision, perseverance, and people who lift you up and support you to take on hard things. 

Alex Harris

I am grateful that I get to work on problems that matter alongside visionary leaders who inspire and motivate me. 

Karen Lee

I am incredibly grateful for my husband, who has been so steady, hilarious, loving, and thoughtful through a wild year of many transitions and tough times. 

Aki Marceau

I’m grateful to Maxine Burkett, Josh Stanbro, Ben Treviño, and all the other Fellows who supported our wildly mundane experiment of mindful meditation on Tuesday afternoons. I emerge from these sessions grateful to be alive, to breathe, and connect on this incredible planet. To quote Brian Eno, quoting a New York taxi driver, “Oh, life. I’m so glad I got in.”

George Yarbrough

I am grateful for my network, both personal and professional, that has helped me navigate this challenging year of professional pivots. I have been able to “land on my feet” with your help. Mahalo.
