Key Person of Influence Progress
I am following Daniel Priestley’s Key Person of Influence Model and 5 P Framework (Pitch, Product, Partnerships, Profile, Publish) in order to grow my influence to:
1) Help take wellbeing economies mainstream
2) Simultaneously create a sustainable income for myself so that I can access healthcare, loved ones, and stay grounded in local community.
Here’s my progress for each of the 5 Ps.
Pitch
I have not really worked on this. “Wellbeing Economist telling stories of the new economy growing worldwide to support ALL life — not just the super rich.“
Products
Wellbeing Economy Finder Prompt, RETCOM Framework (Regenerative Evaluation Tool for Coordinating Operational Movements, Onboarding resources into the Wellbeing Economy
Partnerships
Several in the works!
Publish
The Saving the World Strategy Guide is in its first draft. Also working on a shorter Field Guide for earlier release.
Profile
Best performing post(s): Have now engineered virality on both Tiktok and Substack, now working on Youtube series, Fridays Economics
Follower count across all platforms: 22k+
Podcast Appearances: 1 Down!!!
Applied for TEDx London 2025 “All of us” in September, no response.
Research
I launched The Faros Project on Substack in July, slowly transforming it into a proper research project affiliated with Open Research Institute (ORI), and the R&D for Connectioning.
What’s Happened this Month
Last month, I made the choice to take the leap back to Beaufort County, NC to be close to my kiddo, whom I’ve been displaced from for over three years.
The first few days were taken care of with kiddo picking me up for the airport and then, off to his races for the weekend where we camped out in the truck.
