Peak Prosperity Is Hiring!

Peak Prosperity is Hiring!

I have big plans. In the years to come Peak Prosperity will continue to be a place where free-thinking people can gather and explore ideas. A bit of foreshadowing, we will also be charting a new course over the coming months and years. Much has changed in the world since Peak Prosperity was founded, and I have grown and matured and changed too as has this community. While all the basic themes and content will continue, emphasis will increasing shift to solutions. Big, world shaping solutions as well as more personal solutions.

More immediately, if not urgently, I need to fill the role of general manager of Peak Prosperity (actually, for the LLC that will house Peak Prosperity and its related activities).

So, I’m hiring! My strong preference would be to find the right person right here in this community.

This role is of vital importance to the future of Peak Prosperity, and it’s a long-term gig. It starts immediately or as soon as possible.

While this role will be posted broadly, I am hopeful that there’s somebody right here, reading this right here, right now, who is the perfect fit. Somebody already well-versed in the messages and is a part of the Peak Prosperity tribe would be preferred.

Here’s the job posting:

Candidate qualities

Is familiar with and in strong support of the core messages of Peak Prosperity.
Knows and believes in the message and methods of Chris Martenson and his assembled tribe which values truth seeking, freedom of expression, has an unquenchable curiosity, and fully believes in the ideas that humans have exceeded the carrying capacity of the earth (at current per capita rates of consumption) and the need for a massive shift in consciousness and behavior for the future to have any believability.
Is a complete self-starter. Wakes up and works throughout the workday. I am not a manager, and I don’t want to become one.
Gets the job done. When something needs doing, it gets done, no matter the size of the task.
Takes direction well, but doesn’t really need any.
Understands and works to support the creative process of the content creators.
Will be excellent at managing (and mentoring as needed) staff in their tasks and development, as well as all business relationships.
Has advanced emotionally maturity and has done enough inner exploration to ‘own their own stuff.’ [Note: This role involves interfacing with customers and the public who are often at all different levels of emotional processing as their world changes rapidly and shifts from beneath them – we have to be the steady rock for them. Internally we resolve and work through our issues in a mature way. Externally we help others do the same.]
Great sense of humor, not easily offended or triggered.
Initiates easily and often, especially when confronted with a brand-new concept or task. “Fail early and fail often” – we learn by doing.
Is comfortable making decisions and moving forward on the basis of incomplete information.
Calm and collected in high pressure situations.
Capable of changing direction quickly based on new information (when the data or situation changes, so do we)
Is comfortable with who they are.
Is extremely open-minded. At Peak Prosperity we explore all sorts of concepts and ideas, many of them non-conformist. If you are threatened by ideas, or have strong views that aren’t open to exploration, this won’t be a good role.
