Orlando King is a multi-disciplined businessman and UN Ambassador based in Atlanta, Georgia. His two-decade-plus career has been devoted to improving performance, increasing revenue, and maximizing profit for a variety of enterprises. Orlando enjoys football, boxing, track events, and basketball when he has the time. Mr. King also has a strong background in project management, forecasting, and reporting. "When I have the time," he says, "I still aid some close business associates with consultation services." My knowledge is difficult to match, but available time eventually triumphs. I don't have much time these days, but I wish I did because I like supporting others in attaining their profit and performance targets."

To the uncontacted tribes of the the Amazon; I was told you were nearby when I visited but saw no trace: May you remain invisible to eyes who will see you only through the lens of profit.
To the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals deep in the earthâs belly, those that have yet to be labeled âoil reservesâ and even those that have: May you stay in the ground undiscovered, undisturbed and undisturbing.
To any plant or animal (human or nonhuman) trying to evade colonization, standardization, homogenization, manipulation, marketization, domination: May you stay invisible to those who want to carve the world apart.
Enjoy the time we have here on earth. Thatâs what I came here for. I came to celebrate the wonder of it and I donât need to know everything. There are people out there â âWhat about this?â â always trying to stay in control. I know I am finite. I wonât be here forever. I get to leave a little legacy here, a mural there.
May you be a powerful diversifying force. May you be seen only by those who will leave you be, and ⊠by kin.

Build your own momentum. Take something negative in the world, turn in into a positive
"The positives and the negatives you were born with are unearned"
People who donât believe in the science have their own science, a different version of science. So for me, it always starts with empathy â what is your common connection to the person youâre talking to and then use that as a basis to talk about things that matter to you: family, friends, loved ones and how do you save their lives. Use that as a way to move the conversation forward.
What is your story? What is the struggle you got through? And it has to be internal or external or both. Nobody wants to watch the movie where guy gets girl; they buy a beautiful car; they go to a beautiful house with a perfect fence, perfect child and perfect dog âboring. What they want to hear is that itâs hard, that you struggled and you got out to the other side, that you had these limited beliefs but you figured out how to get out of them.
Isn't it all about passing our story forward in a way that helps others?
I donât crave freedom. I crave the ability and the space to choose, and then I crave the actual act of choosing that every single day.
