I often got the sense throughout my studies at Evergreen that the more I learned, the less I knew. The world exponentially expands through inquiry, collaboration, research, dialog... Starting and operating my own business has been very much the same. Evergreen taught me to be flexible, creative and to not shy away from the untidiness of life-the questions that have no clean answer, the endeavors that seem improbable or impossible at the outset. After the who-what-when-where of the things I learned in college have receded from my mind, it is the intangible way-of being-in-the-world stance that I developed during my time at Evergreen that remains.
