Our guest on the show was 19 when he enlisted in the US Coast Guard reserve as a hospital corpsman trainee. He was sent to Government Island in San Francisco Bay to help and care for the troops returning from Vietnam and the Mekon Delta.
It was a life-changing event for this young man. He discovered how caring and peace are fundamentally connected. It set a career in the caring profession, not as a nurse or doctor but as a planner.
He went on to become a planning and design consultant. He facilitated innovative management operations and new facility development for more than 120 hospitals all over the USA.
His skill set was in demand outside the US, and he and his wife travelled the world advising hospitals and care facilities. His work was about creating environments for optimal patient and staff care.
.
Over his 40-year career, he has set up facilities worldwide, working in Vietnam, Nigeria, Kenya, and many others. He was particularly proud of his work in Myanmar, where they created a system to serve remote communities.
Jeff is now retired from the business he created and spends time writing and speaking on podcast stages. He believed that humanity needs a second evolution that leads to deep peace, which can only be found through caring.
We cover my usual question, but our conversation concerns the human bond of caring and community. It was about how society must learn from the past and stop repeating our history.
Jeff encapsulated his thoughts on caring and peace in his first book.
To care for peace - a global mandate to secure the second human evolution in perpetuity—THE PROCESS IS THE SOLUTION,
In his opinion, it is a process.
