Take a former military logistics officer, a philosopher, and an entrepreneur and squeeze them into one person. That amalgam of skills, perspectives, and expertise is who Charlie Gilkey is. Charlie’s broad mission is to help people flourish in life and business. His work is strongly slanted toward small business because that’s his world – rather than being someone who’s figured it all out already, he’s down in the trenches of running a small business himself. While writing books, articles, coaching, consulting, and being a general change-maker, no less. Charlie’s work is one part pragmatic, one part conceptual, and one part innovative, although the parts aren’t always equally proportioned. The world is changed one small step at a time, but the way those steps need to be taken varies from context to context. Charlie is currently finishing his Ph.D. in Philosophy, writing a book, and running a thriving business. He is married and lives in Portland, Oregon.
