I'm celebrating a new credential. I'm also celebrating the people who made it possible.
I'm proud to have received my Theia Institute | Founder's Badge yesterday. It demonstrates two years of work with some truly brilliant and inspiring people, all of whom are not only "Emerging Technology Thought Leaders" but also deserving of the title of "Visionary Founder."
While I still work for Theia Institute, I don't consider this my honor. The real honor is in standing on the shoulders of giants like my friends and colleages there including (in LinkedIn's pseudo-alphabetical order): Barak Engel, Daniel Kinon, Doug Shannon 🪢, Dr. Lisa Palmer, Jim Desmond (CISSP, CISM, CFE), Q Wade Billings.
A lot of credit also goes to donors, business leaders, conference organizers, educators, journalists, and others who not only believed in Theia's mission, but have actively supported us over the years. That list would be too long for this post, but they each deserve their day in the sun too. I hope everyone who made took part realizes the real honor is theirs.
