Hi everybody, I want to show you this AMAZING website that a friend of mine outside EVOKE in turn showed me. Its called Kiva. http://www.kiva.org. It is a website that allows regular people to fund foreign entrepreneurs. As it is my dream to become an investor of this type I am more then over excited. Just wanted to let other people know of this amazing oppertunity!

Does this piss anyone else off?

So I private messaged my group of friends about my concern with safety when traveling abroad to unstable regions. Since then I have had a number of interesting replies and done a bit more research on the subject. I was asked by John Tsangaris to make this a more open discussion so here we go.



This is my original post.

So I have been thinking about doing some interviews with people I know who the community might like to hear from. The first person who came to mind was a teacher of mine named Chaz Maviyane Davies.

Hello everyone, I made this video the other week to introduce my proposal to the Evoke Network. Overall the response has been positive so I though I would introduce it to the rest of you. Please give me any feedback, positive and negative. Also if you are interested in getting involved I would LOVE that. This is a HUGE undertaking, and without your help I can't do it.

I love the act challenge and have been working to find social innovators who are doing the work that makes me excited. I have contacted Lebone, a company which works on creating organic batteries.

I recently realized that my talent in life is seeing the talents in
other people. I think that that the best way for me to utilize this
gift is to start funding people that I know will be successful. Ideally
in the year 2020 when Alchemy summons me to aid in Japan's food crisis
I will be living in the state of Nevada in America and spending all my
money and energy to help fund and support people who I can tell will
make a difference in this world for the better.

This is so great! look at all the people who are getting involved! I have been telling everyone I meet, even random people on the streets about the Urgent Evoke and the world changing implications of this, "game".


Good luck everyone on their first mission!!
