Support Love First
Help us build a better world by supporting Love First.
There are several ways you can support Love First at this time:
Go Love First and make a public declaration post
By far the most valuable way to support this movement in its earliest stages is to join it, Go all in on Love First, and make a public post about it. Being part of Love First will always be free, so this is also the cheapest option.
Subscribe to the Love First newsletter
Signing up for the newsletter, whether as Free or Paid subscriber, is very helpful. Commenting on posts made there is doubly helpful. You can even ask your big questions about Love First in comments there and I’ll reply to them as newsletter items. (But do check the FAQ)
Connect Faruk with relevant podcast & event hosts
Right now, my goal is to get the word out to as many people as possible and introduce them to Love First, and have them join or at least ask questions, offer feedback, and so on. A great way that I enjoy doing that is to have in-depth, meaningful conversations about the big topics of our generation. If you know of (or have) a podcast I might be a great guest on, please reach out!
I also enjoy public speaking, and so any events—evening events, in-company talks, multi-day conferences, you name it—where I could give a talk about Love First is a great opportunity for me.
Fiscal sponsorship & donations
If you’re in a place to fiscally sponsor Love First, let’s talk! Subscribe to the newsletter to get my email address, or use your brilliance to guess it.
Want to make a small or one-time donation? Feel free to send me something via Venmo @FarukSpeaks or CashApp $Faruk. Donations that help me drink more matcha lattes are wonderfully supportive 🙏🏼
Hire me for consulting
I offer consulting with Love First, which can take many different forms. The simplest way to put it is this: you should hire me if you want to add more Love to your life, product(s), or business, and do so in a structured and methodical manner. For products or businesses, “adding more Love” means that: people will love the product or your company more, and buy your products or services more; your employees will be happier working there, and so on.
What you can find on this website so far is only the first volution of the Love First framework and way of life, featuring about 8 Pieces. The entire work comprises more than 55 Pieces, and as a total-life philosophy, it can be applied to pretty much any situation, conflict, or problem.
My professional background includes: writing & editing (journalism), software engineering, web accessibility, UI/UX/Interaction Design, product design, startup founding, product management, coaching, facilitation, public speaking, and doing performance art.
Note: I no longer offer product design & product management consulting, but I still make use of my knowledge and expertise in those areas to further inform my Love First consulting.
