Quick tour of my life included two decades on the air as a radio personality in major markets including my hometown, San Francisco. In this previous life I worked for ego maniac executives and discovered what life was like as an artist on the road across America. I met all kinds of big celebrities, turned down hundreds of bribes by record label executives and artists to play records preferentially on the radio. Everything you’ve heard about the entertainment business is true, especially the part about it being ‘cut throat’. The good news is, I still pinch myself over how much I got paid to simply talk into a microphone every day.

I grew up in Rohnert Park, CA. and knew as a little boy that I was destined to be a messenger of inspiration on the radio. With my famous family behind me, the “Grateful Dead” how could I not leverage all the talent of my late father, manager of the band and my brother, Mickey Hart, the drummer.

My parents raised me Christian, and I grew up believing that the Pentecostal Church had all of the guiding principles for my life. Only some of the principles remain part of my daily life and new principles were born when I almost died in October 2008. Immediately after facing colon cancer last year, the terror and resignation to dying, became the catalysts to measure if I’m coming from my heart and revealing my authentic true self, where the ones I love always come first before my materialistic needs. It works! I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Even if I do have a moment where I feel out of balance I turn to quotes like Winston Churchill and reflect on how grateful I am for all I have and don’t have.

“Success is going from one failure to the next without losing enthusiasm”

I started Hart of Green.com on my birthday, May 2009, as a major marker in my life, to live on purpose, where my word is iron, doing what I came here to do, on this earth, at this time. We all know why we love our hobby, because it takes us away to that special place where we get very present with our destiny. Hart of Green is that special place where I can be me and share quirks, questions, and queries about anything Green.

My mission is the essence of every discussion you hear on my show, enabling thought leaders, decision makers to share their purpose, passion and inner peace to living a sustainable, conscious lifestyle. The journey of life is about socializing; community and collaborating as one race, with no color lines, inspiring others to pay it forward and be deliberate with every breath they take.

I have the proof of what that is like to live in that radically transparent virtual place. Imagine how intimate the relationship was between my radio audience and my lips touching that microphone. They would walk up to me and tell me I was part of their family, woke up in bed with them, took showers, witnessed family arguments I never heard. My audience was not just a distant community; they had my back and would jump in front of a bullet for me and me for them. Two cities that I married was Fresno and San Francisco, and my next is this city you’re sitting here reading right now. The city is “The Virtual World” and what you feel about us, you and me is something I cherish. Are you feeling me here? The honor I feel that you’ve even read this far, is at such a soul level.

In December 2001, I had completed 17 years of radio broadcasting across the U.S. and then began my marketing agency in the Bay Area, and after 8 years, I discovered it was work without fulfillment.  Jobs that we define as work are only satisfying. Dreams we define as part of our daily life are fulfilling. Wow, it feels good to be here with you right now, in this moment, beginning what will be a relationship of appreciation for WHO WE ARE and HOW GREEN WE ARE.
