My Name:
David Pearson

Official Title:
Director of Operations & Business Development

Unofficial Title:
Explorer

What's your role at Gaia Community?

I lead the development of relationships with key partners and I’m responsible for operations, advertising & the Pro Tools.  I’m also a member of the Executive Council, which is comprised of Jason, Siona and me.  As team leaders, the three of us support one another in our respective roles and make decisions regarding the community as a whole. I’m formerly the COO of Zaadz and have been around since the very beginning. I feel honored to play a part in creating this amazing community.

What do you most enjoy doing (or what are your greatest passions)?

My greatest passion in life is exploring (whether it’s in the physical or the metaphysical world). I’m constantly striving to grow, learn, and experience all I can about what this life has to offer. I enjoy the quiet (and the not-so-quiet) of nature, the depth of relationship, the knowledge of books, the wisdom of stillness, the love and laughter of family and friends, the fascination of looking into another’s eyes, the touch of my beloved, the experience of good music, the power of new thought, the adventures of the dream world, and the awe of nothingness. I do my best to cultivate balance in all areas of life, and I recognize and appreciate paradox. I strive to step out of my own box constantly and I feel most free when I dive deep beneath the surface into the unknown. Most of all, my goal is to laugh every day (often at myself) and to have fun while enjoying this show.

What's your favorite thing about our community?

I am constantly blown away by the energy and vision of the people who make up this community. It’s endlessly inspiring to hear all of the different voices - individuals, groups, and organizations - who are devoting their energy to making positive changes in the world. The different areas of focus here range from consciousness and self-development to spiritual, environmental, health and wellness, political, and even financial, and there is plenty of diversity of opinion.  But the common thread is the unwavering desire to make the world a better place and to be a part of that positive change, however each individual may define it. The members of this community are committed to bringing together these different points of view - even those that are seemingly in opposition - into a safe space where we can discuss, learn, share and grow with one another in more ways than we ever could have imagined. It’s truly amazing!

What do you love about working here?

I love the fact that my passion and ideals are aligned with my profession.  Plus... I get to work with a team made up of some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met.

Amen to aligning your passions with your profession!

There is a quote by Malcolm Forbes that I love. “The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy. ”
