This week on Paradigm Shifters:
Paradigm Shifters Matthew Griffi at one point serving in the US Military in Afghanistan and who started a business with and for the Afghanies. You know, to leave it better than he found it. Matthew, coming from his long military history, saw the repeat patterns of "saving" areas through war, but then when leaving it, leaving it to the devastation and invitation to guerrilla forces, to brutally maraud the area. This time is Afghanistan! Griff took a different leap to create "Business Not Bullets" an Entreprenurial life for Afghanistan where decades of wars, ignorance and poverty pulsed through the area. Matthew’s “Business not Bullets” became a magical business network to generate businesses run by the locals, developed with the wit and wisdom of the people. "Griff" as he is known, created - www.CombatFlipFlop.com which is still providing markets with products like flip flops, and other pieces of attire which are being developed piece by piece, marketed online and operated by Afghanistan citizens, to recharge the economies of these communities.
HIs book is STEPS ASCENDING. RISE OF THE UNARMEDS FORCES - a feisty look at creating a marketplace in Afghanistan. It still flourishes! You may decide to shop there! Check out Combatflipflops.com

A Message from Veronica --
Hi Everyone,
As the world boils up new craziness, we wonder how and when it will settle down, or will it? In new dimensions? So many people are finding ways to turn difficulties into products that are useful and add to the needs of the world. From flip flops to cars that reduce the amount of oil needed to keep us moving, to fabrics out of recycle, to learning any language you choose from one program, or programs that can translate language instantaneously.
This interview is from last year were inspired soldiers in Afghanistan, besides conducting war.
The Fascinating book, STEPS ASCENDING, tells how US soldiers and Afghanies designed flip flops of a very strong material that would last, created a profitable abundant market that unfurled into a series of products.
Isn't it great what incredible pressure to help can inspire? Maybe you have creative ideas or ideals you want to share. Write them to

Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter
Colin Martin began his musical journey as a child and has studied the craft with numerous wisdom carriers throughout his decades here on earth. Sometimes humble to the point of reclusiveness, Colin is devoted to the maintenance of music in our human experience. His primary philosophy around the art is that sound vibration and the infinite availability of it for creative expression, healing, and the transmission of information are as much a part of our foundation to life as water, air, earth, and energy.
As a writer, CJM is a true smith of words, cranking out song lyrics and prose on the daily that speak to countless corners of our humanity and inspire curiosity toward our purpose in relationship to each other and the planet on which we live. Grown in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and educated at The Ohio State University School of Music, Colin currently resides in California where he collaborates on creative projects with a variety of amazing people.
The Story Doesn't Have A Beginning…..
….as we experience the middle parts, we see that open doorways let us embrace the illusion of a new beginning……and that helps to make life fun. Over and over again. So open the door and BEGIN!
My name is Colin. I sometimes feel the need to BE AMAZING in life. My head and my heart whisper things to me like “you can do anything you put your mind to” and “follow your dreams and never give up.” And when I let my dreams form in my consciousness, they include music and community, family and compassion, Mother Earth and healthy people. I grew up in the east of the United States near the Pennsylvania/Ohio/West Virginia area. I’ve been with music my whole life and even chose to study it in university to further my understanding. I have traveled the world through North and South America, Europe and Asia, always with a guitar on my shoulder or a saxophone slung around my neck.
The journey has always been good to me and continues even on this day. The consistent mystery of life tosses me into the wildest experiences. Through those experiences I learn so many cool things that make me more prepared for this NOW MOMENT! What am I doing now? That’s what is important.
Well I can tell you this, I am singing in my heart and paying attention to the world around me. I have the responsibility to be amazing with my life. Shining gratitude on all the wonderful blessings shown to me: my inclination toward music, my loving and patient family, my relationships, friends, collaborators, teachers, my girlfriend, my health and happiness and my ability to create and nurture those things every moment, is a practice every day.
