The Growth of Mindful Sustenance
Kayla Yang Best is a systems thinker with a drive to do the on-the-ground work in addressing some of the most pressing issues of our collective community today. With a broad range of experiences working in government, entrepreneurial and philanthropic sectors, she brings an informed perspective of changemaking. Her most recent initiative is Seasoned Specialty Foods, which enables micro producers to bring their food products to consumers through co-retail, allowing them to retain 100% of the proceeds of their goods. Here we discuss:
-Humility as a tool for understanding the community better
-Doing the most good for the most people with the most people
-Cultivating the ability to mindfully choose which ideas we focus on
-Being an advocate for your own mission
-Making progress toward cross-sector collaboration on societal issues
-The providing of experiential perspectives through storytelling
-Developing a common language for which to talk about change
