The “V” Crew is a group of virtues advocates volunteering their time to develop The “V” Channel.
THE LEADERSHIP TEAM
SCOTT FERACO Founder and Creative Director
After a decade working in theatre, film and television. Scott went into advertising working as a creative director on a wide variety of accounts. Twenty-five years later he realized he derived more satisfaction and felt a stronger sense of purpose teaching his son virtues than he did meeting client deadlines. Following his heart, he left advertising and is now following his calling as the leader of the “V” Crew.

THE V CHANNEL 
Hi Gail. Tell me more about your experience with the Virtues Project. Email scott@theVchannel.com
I just found you! I’ve been involved with the Virtues Project for about 12 years as a facilitator and in working with it in my own and family’s / friends lives on a daily basis. I have seen this work in action and know how powerful it is. Over the summer I read Dara’s book and expanded my activities in the Virtues work both in consultations & planning with Swedes & Norwegians, and in my daily life and work. I am so impressed with this website’s work and with Dara’s FB page that led me to this site. Thank you all for your invaluable efforts in effecting true change in our sorely troubled world.
This is amazing work!
Hello Eva. So sorry for the delayed response—The holidays swept me away for a few weeks. I’m back and thrilled to receive your comment. Yes, I wish you had a million dollars, however, your enthusiasm for The “V” Channel is an “emotional deposit” and will go a long way as we continue developing the channel in 2013. Thank you very much!
I wish I had a million dollars! Because i would give it all to you! Congratulations on an amazing project. I will send a million dollars worth of prayers, positive energy and do all within my power to promote your excellent site. keep on changing the world! And THANK YOU!
