Leadership Spotlight: Fristo
@Fristo is a huge advocate for peer recognition. He is well known for the incredible work he's doing on his Appreciation Program and his Living with Leaders series.
Why did you nominate Fristo? Their perseverance to lead projects (its never easy), their passion to acknowledge and appreciate as much peers as possible. Stay kind, stay balanced, stay strong 💜
In 3 words Fristo is kind, supportive and compassionate.
A mini interview with Fristo!
What motivates you to be a volunteer? To be able to give feels a great blessing. Personally, it brings me a lot of peace. So I look to explore my talents and potential and give where I can.
Your proudest 7 Cups achievement? To be accepted for my wild creativity at times. I prefer listening and following my spirit when it comes to working for a change with the projects and ideas I lead at 7cups. My thought process is often intuition based than based on rational and safe thinking. My achievement has been to be accepted for the way I am or the way I work.
If you had one piece of advice for our community (leaders/listeners/members/whoever), what would it be? Listening/reading is important for anybody. Develop the skill of being quieter inside to be able to listen to your inner voice and inspiration. The quieter you are, the better you will be able to read situations and act in a wiser and more productive way.
What’s next for you on your 7 Cups journey? You never know! I love to lurk the community happenings and that often leads me to new ideas and ventures. I believe there is a living heaven in each human being, which manifests itself on the outside as one learns about themselves and little by little expresses their true spirit. As this purity expresses itself, the more peaceful and blissful one feels, and the deep sorrows of one's heart begin to heal.
Thank you Fristo for caring so deeply for our community and making a difference in the lives of many. Congratulations!

Fristo, we value your contribution here, and I also appreciate how helpful you're when listeners like me reach out to you. You set a good example for others on how to treat people with kindness and respect. And you don't make anyone feel left out, especially newcomers. You've shown consistency here, and you're such a cheerful person who's fun to volunteer with. This place wouldn't be the same without you.
This world is a far better place with you in it Mr. Fristo!!
@Fristo congratulations!
