Did you know that any work that you do with Nspir is helping to drive cultural understanding in our world?
We use our income to publish, translate, and donate books to schools around the world. The books teach about our world, countries and cultures, and understanding cultural differences through the eyes of a little stuffed bear who travels the world, meets wonderful new friends, and practices her superpowers of curiosity, courage, and compassion.
Whether we work with adults or children, we believe knowledge about differences creates greater cooperation and understanding. Studies show it also drives increased innovation, revenue, quality, and customer satisfaction.
Reach out for how we can help you See the Difference, and in return, you help us to build a more understanding future!

What’s one thing you learned in an education session this week? 💬
😳 Ten years ago, I began a journey to understand something that seemed foreign and almost incomprehensible—Bitcoin. Around the same time, Tim Draper made headlines for purchasing nearly 30,000 bitcoins seized from the Silk Road by the U.S. Marshals Service.
😱 Then a year later I distinctly remember reading The Economist’s 2015 article, The Trust Machine. At first, I wondered if Bitcoin was just another Ponzi scheme, but the more I researched Bitcoin and blockchain technology, the clearer it became: this was not just about currency—it was the beginning of something revolutionary.
✍ It was then that I started sketching out what would become the M5 edge economy—an inclusive system built on decentralized principles. I then got the courage to file a patent for the "Decentralized Title Transfer Validation of Assets" blockchain framework, believing that this bridge could extend the foundation laid by Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
At the same time, I was introduced to Stoicism through Ryan Holiday’s The Obstacle Is the Way, which taught me how to see challenges as opportunities—just like Bitcoin offers a chance to redesign financial systems from the ground up. Stoicism became a framework for not only understanding Bitcoin but also navigating life’s challenges, though I had no idea what lay ahead on this path. It would be one filled with betrayal, death, heartbreak, and brutal rejections, yet the combination of my core personal faith, Stoicism, and the foundation of working with like-minded people who have stepped into their true purpose has allowed me to keep shining my light. 🙏
📔 Over the years, books like Ego Is the Enemy, Stillness Is the Key, The Daily Stoic, Courage Is Calling, and my coach Setema Gali gave me new perspectives on life and the evolving digital landscape. Stoicism and Setema taught me to embrace hardship as a path to growth, just as Bitcoin represents a way to reclaim control over our finances and lives.
The patented decentralized title transfer protocol is designed into BRIDGE™ (Blockchain Registered Interbank Digital Global Exchange), built on the provenance of Bitcoin, to empower individuals, not big tech or governments, and to ensure the secure, transparent transfer of real-world assets.
☑ Now, we need your help to make this vision a reality. I’m asking you to sign the petition urging Congress and the President to pass the BRIDGE Digital Asset Act. This act will pave the way for a decentralized economy—one that is secure, democratized, and empowers everyone. Sign the petition today and Modernize the U.S. Financial Regulatory Framework to Support the Digital Asset Economy https://chng.it/nws45MCwcx#BRIDGEDigitalAssets#Bitcoin#DLT#TitleChain#StoicWisdom#DecentralizeTheFuture#EgoIsTheEnemy#RyanHoliday

Just finished 'A Life Impossible' and I laughed, cried, and felt the challenge of what it takes to change the WORLD while juggling trying to keep control of your own.
If you are looking for inspiration or just a new perspective on life, READ THIS BOOK by Steve Gleason and Team Gleason Foundation
Because of my hospital adventure, I couldn't attend a few scheduled book events and fairs. Some of the best parts about releasing a book are the readings, the Q&A, and "signing" books. So, while I cannot attend signings, if you purchase my book, A Life Impossible, from now through Monday the 23rd, we'll send you a signed Bookplate if you fill out the form in the link (or QR code) below. If you bought one at the recent book events, we are also happy to send one.
I always love to see pics of people with their books, and you can send those in with your requests, too.

There are few moments in life when a book comes along that truly reshapes how you see the business world. For me, that moment came when I read The Radical Leap in 2006. This book provided profound insights that have since guided both my personal and professional life. As a leader in the technology industry, I'm always looking for ways to grow, evolve, and better serve those around me. This book gave me the tools to think differently and inspires others to do the same. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. It just might change your life, too 🙏 ❤️ #LifelongLearner#BooksThatMatter#Leadership#ConsciousCapitalism
Sometimes, not being able to start a task can be disabling, but sometimes it is just our body or brain’s way of letting us know that we need time to rest, time to process, or time to think.
Being able to start any task on demand, without taking into account our needs, preferences or circumstances, is an unrealistic expectation that we can learn to let go of.

"Go back? How we would like to go back. Is that possible – to go back in time? If not back in time, is it possible to go elsewhere in time? There is another vast ‘trackless sea’ – the sea of space, and another kind of clipper ship – a starship. Perhaps some of us were meant to wander forever."
