ChangeThis
The original idea behind ChangeThis came from Seth Godin, and was built in the summer of 2004 by Amit Gupta, Catherine Hickey, Noah Weiss, Phoebe Espiritu, and Michelle Sriwongtong. In the summer of 2005, ChangeThis was turned over to 800-CEO-READ. In addition to selling and writing about books, they kept ChangeThis up and running as a standalone website for 14 years. In 2019, 800-CEO-READ became Porchlight, and we pulled ChangeThis together with the rest of our editorial content under the website you see now. We remain committed to the high-design quality and independent spirit of the original team that brought ChangeThis into the world.

By Kristi Hedges

Bringing Passion and Evangelism Together in Your Business: The Unquenchable Spirit of Co-Creation
By David Nour
"Do you co-create value with others? Do you understand—deep in your gut—that you cannot succeed in the future by going at it alone?
Co-creation means banding together with another organization or person to build something together that you could not have built alone. To do this
