Together with entrepreneur Kate Maloney, Marc is the initiating visionary of the Success 3.0 Summit and RiseUp, which bring together key thought leaders and change-agents to collaboratively weave a bold new Integral vision of Success. A leading public intellectual and activist, Gafni is evolving a post-dogmatic shared language of meaning rooted in the entrepreneurial values of Wake Up, Grow Up, Show Up and Outrageous Love.
