## Resource

Mathew Vetten is the hilarious , innovative, energetic visionary force behind Mad House, a BC-based non-profit community that does a little bit of everything. Branches of the Mad House tree include Mad House Builders (a home-building and renovation service), Mad House Gut Hut (meal delivery), and Mad House Events. Every Mad House initiative feeds its central cause: supporting artists-in-residence to realize their creative visions, giving creators the time and space to pursue their life's work. I sat down with Mathew to discuss: How the Mad House vision was born (from Mathew's initial idea ten years ago , to the Universe's timing); How trusting the Universe, synchronicity, and other people has been the key to bringing Mad House to life; How resources (people, places, and things) are the real currency, and how exchange economy works; Mathew's spiritual journey from church-based, to believing in self, the Universe, and the collective; The synchronicity that brought Mad House together: "It sounds like a made-up story: I met a man in the woods. But actually." How Mad House is representative of a movement that's emerging in humanity: less money worship, more trust in ourselves and each other.
