In the early days, David and I started gathering people—leaders, thinkers, and changemakers—for honest conversations about what needed to change and how we could help. These weren’t formal meetings; they were moments of raw connection, brimming with ideas about what was possible.
Our first gathering happened in San Francisco, right in the midst of the pandemic—a time when the world felt like it was on pause. Navigating uncertainty, balancing the demands of raising a young family, and trying to keep teams afloat, we felt a spark of hope amid the chaos.
Those conversations made one thing very clear: the solutions we need already exist. The technology, the capital, the will to act—they’re all there. What was missing was a framework to bring it all together.
MAD is not just a foundation or a single initiative. It’s a movement. A call to action that brings together the best of humanity—our ingenuity, compassion, and determination to build a better future.
It’s about believing in what’s possible, even when it feels out of reach.
It’s about turning frustration into action and hope into solutions.
This work isn’t easy. But we know it’s possible.
When leaders, innovators, communities, and everyday people come together, we can create a world where sustainability and opportunity go hand in hand.
A world that doesn’t just survive but thrives—not just for now, but for generations to come.
This is MAD. This is our call to action. Together, we make a difference.
