Hi, I’m Iggy
There are at least two kinds of games; One could be called finite; the other infinite.    - James P. Carse
Finite games may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander.

I am committed to being an infinite game player and a lifelong learner.
