What is the Force For Good Project?
The FFG Project was born in my mini-talk at TED 2025 in Vancouver. Half the speakers shared inspiring "Big Ideas," however the other half shared alarming warnings of looming crises. It was clear, will we focus on what we can control or on what we can't. What is ours to do?
What Does It Mean to Be a Force For Good?
We are all born innocent. At some point, we encounter corruption, hardships, injustice. Will we rant, rail, rage about what's wrong? Or will we create, contribute to, and collaborate with what's right? How can we lead a life that matters today - and every day?
An Example of Being a Force For Good
Let’s hear it for making your dreams come true… now, not later. That’s exactly what this inspiring family did when they left their home of 35 years in California to save draft horses from slaughter and create a ripple effect of good in their new Texas home.
The mission of The Force for Good Project is to support and showcase individuals who are acting in integrity, adding value, and creating ripple effects of positive change.

Dewitt Jones, a National Geographic photographer, has captured some of the most breathtaking places on Earth. Yet it was a bold 5-year-old with a juice-box camera that reminded him that one way to be a Force For Good is to truly see and appreciate the beauty that is all around us every day.
Stop Hiding

Her journey shows the power of going first and how revealing our "real self" results in a Force for Good ripple effect.
