#Introduce Yourself - Connector - Collaborator - Inquisitor

My name is Jay Moore, I am on Steemit to learn, share and explore. 

As a hopeless optimist I feel conflicted by imagining possible futures where AI, climate change and income inequality are not addressed urgently so we can reach our true human potential. 

I believe Steemit is part of the solution.

I was most recently inspired by Elon Musk May 2017 Ted Interview when he concluded by saying:

 “When I think of the future I don’t want to be Sad”

(start the video at 35:00 if you want to catch his desire to make the future inspiring). 

Born an entrepreneur, I’ve started 11 companies and 3 non-profits long before it was cool. I enjoy advising founders and startups. I’ve worked for the last 25 years with a primary focus on video games. The majority of my effort has been in branding, business development and marketing roles and I have a strong bias toward starve-ups vs. the venture funded churn - building quality lifestyle businesses I believe is the future.

I am interested in ventures that explore the inflection point between crypto, entertainment and consciousness raising.  

I wish to contribute as a voice to create awareness of how we can shape a future we are inspired to live in.
