Hi, I’m Jim Applegate. I worked as a web developer for over twenty years, but I quit to find work that was more meaningful for me. I was surprised by how difficult it was to find it.
Now, I’m exploring ways that we can all find meaning by helping create a better world.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time job that you can believe in or want to do something more meaningful in your spare time, this is a great place to start.
I’ve written an article that outlines a simple process that benefits both you and the world. Check it out below!
Begin Your Creative Practice
You have important life experience and knowledge that no one else has. You can use that knowledge to start making a difference right away. In the process, you’ll learn more and become stronger, more resilient, and capable so you can make an even bigger difference. And you can do this with whatever time and resources you have available. It’s both simple enough to start right away and challenging enough to provide you with a lifetime of meaningful work.
I’m writing a book!
I’d love to get your feedback.
Send me a message if you’d like to be involved.
