Based on this rather poor response, I should probably just drop this and wait for a time where the conditions ameliorate, or read about how some other bod has managed to manifest sufficient trust with their network of interesting bods. However, I was speaking to Rick Ulfick from We, The World, and it just so happens he needs something in the order of $75 to $100 thousand, and I realised I was talking to a social artist. This has made me rethink the selection I had in mind.
I want to make a move on this in March, when I return to London. I will have a list of people, some links and information to things on the net, kind of like a portfolio, and the companies they recommend I should approach on their behalf.
Michel Bauwens, because of his efforts. He is below the radar a little, and his writing a book would help, and getting into a higher talk-circuit. I need to confirm the info, the companies (two please), and how realistic it would be for him to appear if we got far enough in a conversation with a company.
I have just spoke to Rick Ulfick but think he is ideal and we have arranged for a second conversation later tonight.
I would like to recommend Iain, but I have no info, however positive he might be in person. And I believe Phamie is well enough established too.
These three are social artists and have experience and are well placed in terms of evidence to support what they do. I am not entirely sure what they hope to achieve this year if suitably funded, and again this would be useful to have some inkling.
The next band of people are impressive and are ripe with potential this year, and so I would recommend them. Tav, Sofia, Dougald, Vinay. Some of you I know quite well, and others only briefly, but the fire that burns in you all means this year could be incredibly significant. If you are assisted in making this year successful not just in terms of your own projects, I believe the influence you may exert could be significant in globally strategic terms in years to come. It is not of course that you are unique in the world, since we all are, and indeed there are plenty of others who share the vitality you have as well as the will and ideas. But I have come to know you over the last few years, and since my circle of aquaintences is small, and I hope it remains that way, I offer my services to you.
The next group are young and have huge potential, and I am not sure how they would deal with £100,000. It is a big relationship, but I believe they are bright enough to use the money well, and perhaps seek advice from the others should they require it. I include Dan and Sonya.
I would like to include others, but their response has not been incredibly positive even in person or I haven't seen them for a while. I would include Matt, Zang, and even my brother Ricardo.
I would like to ask people to follow this blog, whatever that may mean, contact me through twitter (@happyseaurchin) or skype (happyseaurchin), so that I can be in a position to make the move. If I do not get enough people, I will not be in a position to move and this is an opportunity for those who wish this opportunity to be realised. Please consider the others mentioned here. Also, if there is anyone you know who you think would benefit from this, then please send both them and me contact details so that I can move on this.
The way I work is fast. An opportunity arises, and if we are awake enough, we catch it as it begins so that we can ride it as it manifests. Make use of my faith in you, exercise your trust, so that I may be of service to you and to everyone else on this planet.
Be well.
