In this candid, hour‑long conversation, veteran consultant and entrepreneur Stuart Thomas shares his personal journey—from a purpose‑driven kid and 25‑year founder of Aero Performance Group to his latest “reinvention” as a change‑agent for democracy, social capital, and the future of work. He reflects on his family, past Rotary service, global experiences (Rwanda, Burning Man, Europe), and the evolution of his consulting practice. Stuart then unveils his new strategic focus: Future Voices—researching what Millennials, Gen Z and Alpha want from society, packaging the insights into data‑driven reports, learning‑circles, and subscription content. He explores how to monetize these ideas through coaching, corporate sponsorships, grants, and a data‑market model, while staying true to his mission of “reinforcing democracy and re‑energizing himself.” The session blends storytelling, systems thinking, and actionable brainstorming for anyone looking to pivot their career, scale impact, or create sustainable revenue from purpose‑driven work.
