Markus Lehto

Utopian. Innovator. Entrepreneur. Developer. Musician. Joker. Seeker of the 4th Way.

Markus’s primary life aim is to make real the paradoxical vision he perceives within himself, in whatever format it seeks to manifest. Over his first 20 years, he was immersed in the bounty of Canada’s deep nature. He escaped. Now for the past 30 years, after exploring the urban metropolis and the intrigues of the man-made world in many different places and capacities, he wants to return to the embrace of nature. His big questions are: how will this time be different? Where should it be? With whom can it best take shape? Knowing what I know now, what should I do? What are the skills, tools, and perspectives I need to synergize people, nature, technology, love and beauty in ways that truly serve the mission of the unfolding universe? What is my true role in this story?

Markus pursues these questions as (co)founder of Joint Idea, Life Works Labs, Love Mafia, and Urbanista. He collaborates in selfless service with many people and communities globally. He speaks about his experiences when asked. Over the years, he has envisioned and led many projects and initiatives that have touched the lives and lifestyles of millions of people worldwide. His present mission is to do, to act, from an ever clearer understanding of what it means to be human in this lifetime.
