About

BeLikeRowan.com is the web's home for the classic essay about initiative and responsibility, "A Message to Garcia."

Give More Media is the site's publisher. You can learn more about us here, but in a nutshell, we're a relatively small group of people in Richmond, Virginia, who've been trying to help the world be a better place since 1998 (before that, too... we just weren't all together at the time).

This work comes as a result of a great deal of initiative and effort that began over 100 years ago just after dinner by a man named Elbert Hubbard.

Actually, it really began when Rowan did the work he was asked to do.
