In this episode, Don reflects on the difference between having a vision and building the systems that can actually sustain it.

He also explores the personal side of that work: how we begin to close the gap between who we say we want to become and how we actually live.

He is joined by Barrett Takesian, founder of Portland Community Squash, for a conversation about founder energy, organizational growth, the discipline of sustainability, and what it takes to build something strong enough to carry a mission beyond one person’s passion.
