What Is A HuPerson? A Threshold for Business
What if being in business wasn’t separate from honoring what is sacred? What if the work we do each day—where we invest most of our time—was directly connected to caring for life itself?
The HuPerson Project is an invitation to those questions. At its heart, it explores what becomes possible when business is guided by deeper values—what some might call the good, the true, the beautiful. It’s a project for those who recognize that we are at a threshold, a moment in history where something else is being asked of us.
To be a HuPerson is to care about spirit—about meaning, consciousness, connection. It suggests that your leadership, your company, and the decisions you make are in conversation with something more than profit or efficiency. Not bound to any one tradition, it speaks to a reverence for life that many carry, even if quietly.
This is not about having it all figured out. It’s about being willing to ask:
- Does what I lead create conditions that honor life as sacred?
- Do our systems make space for care—for ourselves, our teams, our world?
- Can we lead in a way that regenerates what matters most?
To say yes to that—to being a HuPerson or a HuPerson company—is not a small thing. It’s a high standard, a living commitment. It may not always be comfortable or immediately digestible, and still, it may be what this moment is calling for.
Real leadership regenerates. It roots itself in what has meaning and emerges from the quiet voice within. The HuPerson Project exists to support that kind of leadership—and the redesign it invites.

Letting Go of Roads That Won’t Last
In a stable environment, laying down a road makes sense. You chart the path. You build. You follow it. And it holds—for years, sometimes decades. In a desert, that same road can disappear in a matter of days. The winds shift. The sands move. The path you paved is gone. This is what traditional strategy […]
