Our Passion
Within every society there are people who are motived to build,
innovate, create, and reform. These are the visionaries, pioneers,
leaders and reformers. They can be found in every occupation, institution,
and strata of society. They are the non-conformists who question
everything and who are passionate about finding a better way to
do things. They are sometimes called "boat-rockers" and
"square pegs" but we call them "forerunners"
because they are the forerunners of the age-to-come. They see a
vision of the future and use their talents and passion to bring
it into the present. They are truly our greatest natural resource.
Many of our institutions
are not equipped to deal with forerunners. Most businesses and schools
are threatened by their attempt to reform them. They are widely
misunderstand, often isolated, sometimes suppressed and frequently
minimized; however, it is these people who are responsible for most
of the advancement in technology, education, government, law, arts
and entertainment and communications. Forerunners are compelled
to bring change and expand the boundaries of knowledge and professional
practice in ever domain of society.
For the past 60
years, the western world has experienced a sustained technological
revolution unlike anything in the past. Historically, after every
technological revolution there is a social reformation which follows
closely behind. Observation will reveal that business, science,
government, education, media, entertainment, the arts, and religion
are all in various stages of reformation. Considering the significance
of the technological revolution, this could be the greatest social
reformation in recorded history, and it is the forerunners who will
lead it. Reformation and transformation is the passion and the gifted
ability of forerunners. If the past 40 years have been the era of
the “geek”, then the next 40 years will be the era of
the “forerunner generation”.
This revolution
is timely considering the many serious challenges which lay ahead
of us. This generation of forerunners will have to discover solutions
to problems of cataclysmic proportion. They are, however, intrinsically
equipped to develop the technologies, concepts, and strategies which
will advance mankind and save the earth from ecological destruction.
It is of critical importance to our country, our people, and our
planet to invest in developing knowledge and systems to assist,
encourage and nurture forerunners.

in every domain of society, how to recognize, empower, facilitate
and encourage others to make exceptional contributions to better
our world.
Forerunners
and Social Entrepreneurs
What is the difference between a “social entrepreneur”
and a “forerunner”. The word “forerunner”
refers to the motivation to build, create, innovate and reform.
A forerunner may apply him/herself to a social reform or may invent
a new technology or innovate a medical procedure to make it more
effective and safer for example.
Therefore all social
entrepreneurs are forerunners but not all forerunners are social
entrepreneurs. The Forerunner Project is focused on the development
of the person and their gifts and motivations, and less on a particular
application of a person's talents such as social entrepreneurship.
We believe that there is room for reform through creativity and
innovation in every domain of society.
