Greetings, I’m Michael Baker, also known as a Community Orchestrator. Over the past 15 years, my journey has been dedicated to understanding and designing communication, sharing, and exchange systems that empower individuals and local communities to establish decentralized economic systems. My passion lies in assisting fellow entrepreneurs in mastering the art of collaboration and creating innovative business models, open-source technologies, and social systems that benefit communities and their environment. Having had the privilege of founding and leading various businesses, my current focus centers on nurturing changemakers within local communities. I’m dedicated to leveraging community intelligence technologies to support locally connected, decentralized economic systems through initiatives like community innovation hubs or community action centers, with a focus on promoting regenerative agriculture, community entrepreneurship, immersive health education, and community-owned real estate development
