Why Maverick Was Created
As a successful entrepreneur, I founded Maverick1000 after being a member of many other CEO groups, masterminds, and peer-to-peer networks that left me a bit flat. I simply couldn’t find an organization that combined everything I wanted to not only grow my companies but also bring more joy, happiness, and greater meaning into my life.
Maverick1000 was created to intentionally give you the push and support that are essential to accomplishing something that truly matters.
You can tap into other like-minded peers who really get where you’re going and where you’ve come from. The right group of kindred spirits is eager to celebrate your wins, challenge you to greater accomplishments, share breakthrough ideas, and reinvigorate you during the natural emotional roller coaster of breaking new ground.
Quite frankly, the bigger the future you are working on creating, the more support, resources, trusted input, connections, and energy renewal you’ll need beyond the “ordinary.”
My role is to catalyze the catalysts and spark a bit of Maverick mischief!
I truly believe business can become one of the biggest levers for good—while actually being good for business. That’s the theme behind my latest book, Evolved Enterprise.
The same thing that got you where you are now won’t necessarily get you to the next destination on your journey. The only way to grow is to continually express your deepest essence of your greatest gifts.
I see my lifetime goal as connecting visionary leaders and game changers to catalyze innovative business models and new ideas for solving 100 of the world’s most impactful issues by the year 2100, truly changing the way business is played. (Perhaps that includes you!)

Vision
Our goal is to instigate the instigators, connect the connectors, and catalyze the catalysts – with a dash of maverick mischief thrown in.
We believe business can be the biggest lever for making a meaningful difference in the world. Collectively, one community of impactful entrepreneurs can change the way business is played!
Maverick1000 members are nominated for their accomplishments, reach, influence, and capacity to be a “sun” and light 1,000 more suns. They are seen as lighthouses in their industries or marketplaces. Maverick1000 members bring their distribution channels, capabilities, and connections in support of fellow members and impactful business ideas are incubated.
Maverick is one part of the entire interconnected EcoVerse and our mission to “change the way business is played.”
