Good CONVERSATIONS

Leadership through story.

This is probably one of the deeper conversations I've ever had (shout out Planet of One podcast!). In it, you'll hear me rant about a lot of things re: culture, communication and leadership. I also talk about where I come from, how I came to be where I am, and where I hope we all will go together.

If you don't have the patience for all that, here are some highlights below.

LINES | ANGLES

In this photo there are countless lines making countless angles (don't actually count, it's more about the metaphor of the thing here).

Those are human efforts made real. Those are plans in rooms, blueprints created by decree and collaboration, hammer-and-nail crew work, curses and symbols, laughter and lunches, expertise gearing into expertise. 

​Buildings are some of the most human stories we can tell. Every inch a decision, an increment of time; every colour connected to a preference or a metaphor. 

Also, you'll notice, the result is arresting.

HOPE ISn'T EMPTY

Can you explore without it? Can you create? Are there any futures ever made absent hope? Is that too many questions? I hope not. 

I disagree with the notion that hope is something idle, inert, amounting to little more than wishful thinking. Maybe it's a matter of definition or semantics — hope could mean something flighty to you and concrete to someone else. But if expectation is the birthplace of suffering (and it is. Prove me wrong.), then I think actionable hope is its antidote... and maybe its benign cousin. 

As the old proverb says: the last thing to die is hope. That it's a Russian proverb feels significant just now.

Reacting to Reactions

The DIFFERENTS are coming!
So I don't listen to or watch or consume or imbibe or wink at podcasts much anymore. That's too broad a statement now that I see it written, but not entirely untrue.

There are a few I'll still dip my toe in here and there, but for the most part, I've left that behind. It used to be a place to hear uncommon minds discuss a lifetime of uncommon work. A place to learn where to look for excellent, mind-changing discovery.

There were always the proto-mutterings of bro-bullshit, but the good always outweighed the bad. Now I'm lucky to find solid land in a desolate sea of screamers filibustering a dark-skinned Ariel because of... well, racism.

ASSESSING THE WOUNDS

Two years of necessary, rapid adaptation has taken a toll on how I hear the world. Everything's loud, volume up, the noise screaming that this and now are it, don't look up from the immediate road ahead! There's no time!

GOOD SHOES

Jenna Arnold calls it the sacred grey. I had a mentor once refer to it as the precinct of patience. I've heard a few (those who dabble in astrology—not for me, but have at 'er if that's your speed) name it the "in-between" or the "under-up," I can't quite remember. The point is, plenty of people have phrases for that space between states or binaries in which folks get real uncomfortable real quick.

ICONIC

I've been wanting for a while to create some sort of icon suite to use in places like my Instagram but I'm at best a middling designer and at nearly-always a bad one.

But! (and this is an excited but), I know a few uncommon designers. One such extraordinary talent is Miranda Hebert, founder and CEO of Earth to Miranda, a small start-up with a big mission: to end human-caused extinction. I urge everyone to follow and support her work. I wouldn't bet against her.

I love what she did here so let's talk a bit about the designs!
