Justin Baird, innovationist

Life is too short not to pursue what lights your soul on fire. We get so caught up in the glorification of busy and the achievement conveyer belt, but what is it all for if it doesn’t ignite your passion and expand your world? The Essentialists bring these questions to the forefront of our attentions in an age where we need it most.
