Vacancy expired!
I am looking for a community builder and personal assistant to help with four initial projects. The most important factor will be to find someone we, my partner and investment team, can trust with sensitive information, access to our homes and resources.
We should get along well and all enjoy spending time together. There is a high likelihood this will be the case if you already know how to chill and enjoy those moments in life where one sits back and feels the connection to the world around them without always needing to be entertained. We think this role will be a great place for someone to get started in community building and expand their network. We want all relationships with people we work with to be symbiotic, we should be helping you to grow too! Other key qualities will be the ability to create a welcoming environment, charisma, and the ability to talk to just about anyone.
You should love music like Pink Floyd naturally, art, and spending time with people who are like minded as this will be a big part of your role, organizing those moments of ataraxia. One way of describing ataraxia is an untroubled and tranquil condition of the soul, free of dogma and judgment of others. Another way to put this would be a collaborative meditation. We often use this atmosphere to develop new ideas and technology. You should feel comfortable around people who alter their state of mind in various ways where it is legal. There are many way to experience your consciousness and we are starting to explore some of the science behind this. Hence the following.
This role will require occasional travel to the West Coast to meet talented people from all walks of life and backgrounds as we build the investment team, design partners, and find folks to run the projects we fund. You should love road trips and driving cross country is no problem for you. We will share the driving :)
Everything after this is a possibility, feel free to riff. How would you invest to bring your life to the fullest and help the people around you at the same time?
Onto the projects, a typical day will involve arriving in Cottonwood Heights at 8:00am ish
Project #1:
Help me create more focus and health in my day to day routine. I currently meditate daily, eat mostly fresh vegetarian and have a light exercise routine but I want to take it to the next level. Some interests are getting into rock climbing and mountain biking. You should also have good habits and health so we can create a morning plan to practise before I head to my day job. This will include a drive to my office in South Jordan at least a few days a week around 8:20 am where we sync on ideas for the rest of the day. I sometimes work remotely
Project #2:
Build a community around our home in Cottonwood Heights. This will include organization of the home to include basic cleaning and optimization. Finding ways to make these tasks efficient for us, yourself or whomever you determine we should hire will be an early priority. You should not mind getting your hand dirty and doing the work but generally, this will be more about coordinating that work. Make it easy for me to clean, whatever works. The home should always be ready for events and guests to stay for a week or so at a time. The house is already pretty clean generally so this should be easy. Additionally, you should be comfortable organizing remodeling work and being in the house while the work is done.
Together we will develop weekly events and a monthly event based around art, music, and learning. You will plan workshops, classes, and coordinate invites etc¦ We have already had a few events at home and they are really fun. The house has about 4000 sqft of space and amazing views of the valley and mountains. We can also think about group events to all the amazing places in the Western US.
Project #3:
Use Project #2 to expand the investment group. We want to attract people from diverse backgrounds and maybe from other parts of the world. Each investor should share a set of core values including recognizing their position of privilege and wanting to help others achieve the same freedom. We will only invest in ideas and people that take a holistic approach to the impact on the world around them. We want to improve the human condition not extract it from those who are less fortunate.
Project #4:
Build a retreat center on 200 - 1000 acres of land in the Pacific Northwest. A place to unplug, connect with nature, learn, and access creativity. We will need your help to search for the perfect place and get all the logistics in place. We will also be looking for people who want to live on the land fulltime and maintain it.
Compensation can be project-based or hourly initially ($20/h to start) and grow into more of a salary position over time as we build trust. Skill trades and co-living are also a possibility for the right person.
A little bit about our investment team:
Our first goal is to raise $1.5 Million and invest in private land in the Pacific Northwest. This land will act as a retreat center and school for the team. To learn more about Systems Thinking and our philosophy here is a quick resource from Professor Peter Senge at MIT

Why would we build this school and investment team?
If you want to go fast go alone if you want to go far go together.
There are many people interested in this and unfortunately, I have not had time to return a message to everyone. To help keep me organized please fill in this google form to apply. Thank you!
