Axiology & Teleology 

Axiology is the study of values and teleology is the study of purpose or the top value. This site is a snapshot into Jake's organization of values with a little personalty sprinkled in.

We all have a unique blueprint of values and when we are living congruently with our values life is an inspiring experience.


The majority of unnecessary suffering manifests for those who are living outside of their authentic values or for those who place expectation on others to live outside of their congruent values.  

 

To flourish is to live to true to your vision and values while encouraging others to do the same.

Never Boring
Always Fun
Board Meetings  

Appreciating the Sacred in Business 

Sometime's you'll find Jake in a boardroom and sometimes you'll find him on a paddle board, either way it's a board meeting.  Here is his philosophy: If we are going to dedicate the majority of our waking life to our calling and purpose it's wise to enjoy the process.  Being in our most natural state in sacred environments and professional settings alike can bring out the best in all of us.  Richard Branson was the first modern leader that Jake saw express his weird and authentic essence in a professional setting.  After Sir Richard gave a speech at a fundraiser he walked by Jake to the washroom where he used the facilities with the door wide open.  Jake glanced over and this made him laugh. Jake and Sir Richard had a fun chat about this together and they took a spontaneous selfie to send to a mutual friend because they knew it would bring him joy.   It left an impression on Jake and gave him permission to be seen as professional, successful and also whole heartedly unique.  

Telos and Vision 

Jake has committed the next 30 years of his life to flourishing in the 8 areas of life outlined above.
 

His top value is his spiritual practice and path.  With intention Jake integrates timeless wisdom teachings with modern mysticism pulling from the most integrous schools, texts and teachers so that he walks his unique path with nobility.  

 

Jake's second highest value is business where he has an inspired vision that he is building for the next 30 years. This longitudinal approach to business requires more objectivity, clarity and commitment to the building blocks required to actualize the plan.  Jake loves working with the best of the best as business partners, colleagues and collaborators who are technical geniuses, masterfully skilled operators and powerful leaders.  Mahalo Global is truly a labor of love.      

If you're curious to know more about Jake, his values and vision ask Aquarian the digital wizard. 

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love".  Dr. Seuss
