So I’m still working out my schedule and regular routine having jumped into 2009 so I’ve been a bit slow on blogging (I’m getting there!) . On Monday I attended for the first time a League of Kick Ass Business People event! While there werent any super hero’s present like in the League of Justice or anything else you would picture in a comic book it was still pretty ‘Kick Ass!’. 
Along with hearing some of the insights from members of this elite ( or L33T) group, the theme of the night was ‘The Kickass Green Event’ talking about green business, and the Canadian environment. All in all really good speakers:
-Leslie Domenico from Green Enterprise Toronto spoke about sustainable and green business within Toronto ( big focus on local sourcing and equitable business)
-Linda Mortsch from Environment Canada gave an intense wake up call about the state of global warming and how its going to affect our planet.
-Andy Thomson blew me away twice, first with his amazing presentation skills ( when you can tear 50+ business people from conversation to pay attention to you, thats what I call having presence!) and after with his presentation on green homes with the interesting idea of a green trailer park which was less trailer trash and more loft living in a forest.
I unfortunately had to dash to another meeting I had, but afterwards there was a presentation from Bikes without Borders which probably rocked as well, they sound like an inovative not for profit organization which I look forward to reading more about, perhaps getting involved sometime in the future(Linkage).
Overall, it was a good night even despite having to cut it short. I’m really exited to become more involved in the LOKBP ( for more about what they are check out here! ) this is definitely a group that while making me feel insignificant because I’m not fully kick ass (yet!) it also makes me want to learn and expand myself and bring myself to that level.
If you perhaps are a kick as business person who just happened to stumble upon my blog twitter @SeanMoffitt as not only is he the ‘big kahuna’ of the group , I’m sure he’d be happy to have you aboard. The next LOKBP event Kick ass Design, will be happening March 4th ( so far away!) and Sean is also begining to get together a group of Under 30 years KBP group as well! Pretty exciting stuff.
Thats it for me, back to my chill friday night! Got any Questions/Comments? Contact me at kevin.richard@ryerson.ca or send me a twitter message.
