"The energy, honesty and enthusiasm that Rosie brings to the audience are what conference organizers dream of seeing. She literally had them dancing in the aisles!"

................

It's time for mass human flourishing.

Rosie lives for speaking with people as a voice for what's possible now.

Joyfully unconventional, Rosie is a comedic storyteller weaving together the wildly unexpected: a long history of working with Burning Man globally, Wall Street finance, and engaging the US Army, Navy, and Marines.

Prior to focusing on her life's work of Mass Human Flourishing, Rosie served as a board member of a prestigious US national finance organization advocating for diverse and women investment fund managers in the institutional investment industry. She is a public equities trader, and holds a certificate from MIT on Blockchain Technologies and Business Innovation (but she's pretty poo-poo on the cryptocurrency and NFT grift space). Rosie is an advocate for regenerative economies and political systems. Uniquely, Rosie is one of the world's rare historians of Burning Man culture and philosophy -- as such, she was featured in Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal's Stealing Fire. Rosie is a protegé of Riane Eisler, whose work on partnership and domination systems informs Rosie's thinking and realistic optimism about human flourishing.

"Rosie has her finger on the pulse of what's next for humanity."

bestselling author of The Chalice and The Blade
