My vision is a world where everyone can flourish. My mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion.
Great conversation requires great listening from everyone involved. But if we don’t actively practice, listening will become a lost art. The key to its preservation lies in cultivating our natural, genuine curiosity. That curiosity will lead to understanding, and then to compassion. I hope you’ll join me through my projects below, or by taking initiative in your own life, online or off.

What’s currently a challenge you’re facing?
I’m passionate about helping others have great conversations of their own. Do you have a project or an idea that would be improved with better conversations? I would love to discuss how I might help you accomplish your goals. Interested? Send an old-school email message to craig@constantine.name and I’ll write back with details of how I work.
Discovery. Reflection. Efficacy.
Those three words describe my practice—the journey of my whole life. As a part of my practice, this blog has a specific purpose: It’s a vehicle for my process of reflection. I encourage you to engage by reading along and I hope you’ll find what I share and write to be interesting. To keep up going forward, you can subscribe to my RSS feed, (learn about RSS,) or subscribe to emails.
Movers Mindset
The Movers Mindset project examines the nature and philosophy of movement by exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. The project promotes self-improvement through the podcast and Forum. In the podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. There’s a Movers Mindset tag here on this site, but for all things Movers Mindset, head over to https://moversmindset.com/.
Little Box of Quotes
I also have a bite-sized podcast, Little Box of Quotes, which is based on the ever-growing collection of quotes I keep in the little box on my desk. Search for Little Box of Quotes wherever you normally listen. And of course all the quotes are here, tagged Little Box of Quotes.

• There are a lot of tags. But you can see all the interesting tags on one page.
• A large number of my posts are “threaded” together into series. You’ll notice this if you land on such a post; it will have links to follow the series, in addition to the usual links to move in date-posted order. There is also a page listing all the series.
