Maverick Entrepreneurs Rewrite the Rules of Business for the 21st Century...

Here I am, sitting on my sofa thinking about my journey over the past few years…

For a long time, the common gospel was that you could only do one or the other.

Many old school industry titans would recommend getting wealthy and then giving it all away.

Not so anymore…

You can now have “AND”...

You can actually do good and make more.

I know because when I finally figured this out (the hard way), we ended up with an 823% profit jump over a 3-year period.

Not only can this concept grow your bottom line but it can actually create a truly sustainable, competitive advantage and reignite everything you do with more joy, happiness, and meaning to fulfill a higher mission.

I know it may sound like a pipe dream, but it’s already happening… Read More>>>

An 80-Foot Steel Kraken Will Create an Artificial Coral Reef Near the British Virgin Islands

All images via Owen Buggy

This past April a massive 80-foot steel kraken was purposefully sunk into the Caribbean Sea on top of a decorated WW2 ship. The former Navy fuel barge and its monstrous passenger were placed underwater in order to jumpstart a new coral ecosystem, while also serving as a cutting-edge education center for marine researchers and local students from the surrounding British Virgin Islands. The project is titled theBVI Art Reef, and aims to use sculptures like the porous kraken as a base to grow transplanted coral.

The Kodiak Queen, formerly a Navy fuel barge named the YO-44, was discovered by British photographer Owen Buggy approximately two and a half years ago on the island of Tortola. Instead of letting the historic vessel get picked apart for scrap metal, Buggy approached former boss Sir Richard Branson about collaborating on a restorative art installation. Together with nonprofit Unite B.V.I., artist groupSecret Samurai Productions, social justice entrepreneurial group Maverick1000, and ocean education nonprofit Beneath the Waves, the project was established as both an eco-friendly art installation, and a philanthropic measure to rehabilitate native marine species.

It's envisioned that within just a short space of time the ship and artwork will attract a myriad of sea creatures, said Clive Petrovic who consults on the environmental impact of the BVI Art Reef. Everything from corals to sea sponges, sharks and turtles will live on, in, and around the wreck. The ship will become valuable for future research by scientists and local students alike.

To sink the massive ship, the project sought the help of the Commercial Dive Services who safely submerged the vessel off the coast of the islandVirgin Gorda. It was the first time the ship had been in the water for nearly 17 years, and was lead to its final resting place by a bevy of boats and helicopters.

Filmmaker Rob Sorrentifilmed both the construction and sinking of the kraken and its ship. The full-length documentary is currently in post-production, with an estimated release early next year. You can watch a clip from the upcoming film below. For information on visiting the BVI Art Reef, and to learn more about its educational programs, visit the project's website and Facebook.

If you’ve been involved with the marketing space for longer than about 5 minutes, then you already know what I am about to say.

There’s a whole lot of “gray” going on….

With the “fake news” and the “alternative facts,” it has become essential to dig into any claim being made just to see if it truly holds water.

That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised to see the data and global trends that Yanik Silver put out on his new business philosophy….

Richard Branson’s Latest Travel Project Is a Caribbean Dive Site

Skift Take: Let's just hope scantily clad women in bikinis won't be making an appearance at the grand opening.

— Deanna Ting

Richard Branson has launched many a business venture. Rarely has he intentionally sunk one.

But that’s exactly what he’ll do on April 10 (weather permitting), when he cuts the ribbon for his latest endeavor, a historic naval ship turned scuba site just south of Mountain Point in Virgin Gorda, part of the British Virgin Islands. When it sinks into the Atlantic Ocean, the Kodiak Queen — one of five surviving ships from the attack on Pearl Harbor — will officially become B.V.I Art Reef, a man-made marine ecosystem and otherworldly dive site crowned by an 80-foot-long Kraken sculpture.

It may be located near the billionaire’s exclusive Necker Island estate, but Branson’s new project is as democratic as they come.

For one thing, it’s not meant to be a massive moneymaker. Proceeds will come in through diving operators — a majority of whom charge a modest $100 for single-tank dives at other sites in the B.V.I. (The site itself is free to access if you happen to sail there on your own.) What’s raised from local outfitters will be funneled out to support various regional causes, from marine preservation to social justice initiatives. Boosting youth swimming-education programs at Branson’s multifaceted, not-for-profit foundation, Unite B.V.I., is one big-picture goal.

“The B.V.I is a collection of small islands surrounded by beautiful coral reefs full of life, yet many people from the B.V.I have never had the opportunity to witness this thriving underwater world because they have never had the opportunity to learn how to swim,” Branson told Bloomberg in an interview, citing a statistic that one in 10 children is unable to get across a pool. “One of the reasons why I have been supportive about this project is that I believe it will inspire people to want to learn how to swim, snorkel, and ultimately scuba dive—and my greatest hope is that, as that happens, they will fall in love with the world that lives beneath the surface and will become passionate to protect and preserve it.”

While marine conservation is a personal passion for Branson, B.V.I Art Reef began with an entirely different preservation story, that of the decommissioned Kodiak Queen. Despite the ship’s historic significance, it had decayed past the point of repair; an unknown owner had abandoned it in the B.V.I., and it was scheduled for demolition after spending years in a junkyard. In short, the Kodiak Queen had become an eyesore.

“In the B.V.I, we have a lot of derelict ships that are aground on the main island of Tortola,” explained Branson. “They detract from the natural beauty of the place.”

One of Branson’s team members, a marine mechanic and photographer named Owen Buggy, saw an opportunity: “[Buggy] pitched the idea to me of cleaning this ship of any environmental hazards and then intentionally sinking it to become an artificial reef and recreational dive site,” recalled Branson. It didn’t take much convincing for the serial entrepreneur to get on board.

Restoring the Kodiak Queen has been a nine-month endeavor. Though the investment sum was undisclosed, the project is likely to have cost more than $4 million, which is what it cost to create and sink another artificial reef in Palm Beach, Fla., earlier this year. The project was made possible by funding from Maverick1000, a global network of industry disruptors; engineering help from B.V.I-based Commercial Dive Services; and the artistic vision of six creative masterminds from Secret Samurai Productions, Art Reef B.V.I.

“We’ve been fortunate that, through collaboration, we’ve been able to accomplish what would have been very challenging—well, impossible—to do on our own,” said Branson.

At a private party on April 12, after it’s had a couple of days to settle on the ocean floor, Branson and his team will take an inaugural dive around the site and then honor the 15 founding members (and other helping hands) at a party back at Necker Island.

A robust coral grafting program will follow. In time, Branson expects the coral to propagate naturally and create a thriving ecosystem — one that he hopes will bring back the endangered goliath grouper. (Having the massive fish in these waters doesn’t just make for good diving; grouper are also natural predators of invasive lionfish.)

Simultaneously, marine researchers will come in and start studying the effects of artificial reefs on rehabilitating over-trafficked dive sites. And the Art Reef team will also work with local operators to create “dive adventures” (think: scavenger hunts) throughout the site, encouraging travelers to support small businesses, rather than tackling the site on their own. A portion of those proceeds will then cover site maintenance, making the project fully self-sustained. It’s almost as if one of the world’s smartest businessmen came up with the proposal.

Luckily for travelers, it’s never been easier to get to the B.V.I: The first direct flights from the U.S. to Tortola will launch this summer on B.V.I Airways, with departures from Miami. As a bonus, Laurance Rockefeller’s 50-year-old resort on Virgin Gorda, Little Dix Bay, is soon to emerge from a multimillion-dollar facelift courtesy of Rosewood. It’s closer to the Art Reef than Branson’s flamingo-filled Necker Island, which sits on a private spit of land on the northern end of the archipelago. Then again, yachting over from Necker doesn’t sound quite so bad, either.
