In fact, we rather obsess about it.

For without a transformative culture, we cannot begin to elevate and celebrate the lives of our resident-heroes, and be ourselves changed for the good in the process.

So, we seek great hearts, other people like us, who care and want to do work that matters.

We select people like us who believe that the most satisfying life is one that is outward-bound and rooted in servant-leadership.
