Hello All, 

I have been giving through Givewell to a charity for years (on and off) since hearing William MacKaskill on Sam Harris's podcast in 2016. 

I would absolutely love to get any feedback from the EA community on a movement / platform, called Value Life, that I would like to conceptualise. Or even where I could or should potentially post?  

A high-level overview is provided in my first Substack newsletter here (which contains a short (<4min) video about what the Value Life community and platform is, or is striving to be).

A direct link to YouTube is as follows:

The Value Life presentation was actually complete a few months before Mr MacKaskill made his first appearance on Sam's podcast (in 2016) and at the time I did not put two and two together and join this community, but now I am fully motivated with content to share and promote. 

I am actively looking for a job in the EA movement if possible too, but ideally, I would like any feedback to see if the idea for the Value Life platform has any legs (I know the movement with respect to the mentioned "Deep Trust" should - which is the primary purpose of the YouTube mini-series (a few more episodes are in the pipeline to wrap-up in the coming weeks)). 

If you want more information about me:

My mission statement in a nutshell, is as follows:

“To be actively involved with an ethical and moral organization and community, championing the causes to further humanity and make the world a safer, cleaner and happier place for children forevermore.”

I am a Civil Engineer by training and having passed my Professional Engineering (PEng) designation in Vancouver, BC, Canada, (have my black belt in Taekwondo) and I mention this because I am honour bound (having sworn oaths) to serve society and believe this is a strong foundation to further humanity. 

I am also a certified Professional Project Manager (PMP). I have worked on multi-billion dollar projects and managed multi-million dollar civil infrastructure and big tech projects simultaneously.  

I invite you to review my work experience and recommendations on my Linkedin profile from previous clients, employers and colleagues.

I would welcome any request to connect. 

I realise that is a lot for a short introduction, but any response, advice or direction would be very much appreciated - I would love to know what you think!

Thank you very much in advance for your time. 

I Value Life - Do you? ;-)
