My response: “I’d rather use whatever time I have left figuring out what does work and then scaling it.”

Been hearing a lot of folks say that there’s nothing that can be done about meta crisis, rising conflict, manufactured division, etc.

[Mark Eckhardt @MarkEckhardt]

This is zero sum thinking rationalized by pointing at complexity and saying “there’s no way to make a difference.”

@meta and @facebook removed my post condoning political violence and the assassination attempt on former President Trump. I protested and it was restored within minutes. That’s good, yet I wonder how many appropriate and constructive posts are not being published.

@AOC I’m so tired of reductionism.

Last week’s design summit was full on. Now back in the countryside to reflect, integrate and restore. Feeling grateful!!

My job is to create space where there currently isn’t for something new to emerge within the group.

Morning meditation. We begin the design process today and will focus on connecting and connection using many different modalities: walks, movement, reflection, exploration and discussion. Attunement is the organizing principle: to what, where, and to who are you attuning.

[Mark Eckhardt @MarkEckhardt]

Dropping anchor. We have arrived. Next move is to make it to the island where later today we will welcome 60 people from all around the world for the design experience of their lifetime.

PS: And ohh... that impulse you just felt. Act on it.

Friends and Collaborators. Read this.

If your 2024 marketing plan includes landing coverage by mass media and press outlets, I'd like to put you in touch with Dianna Bari.

[Mark Eckhardt @MarkEckhardt]

In just a couple of months, she had us in TIME, Variety, and featured on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, not to mention the hundreds of doors she kicked in with high-level executives, politicians, agencies, and more.

DM me here, and we'll go from there.

Thank you @MorrisMedici for another profoundly important conversation about the path to new expressions of virtue and ethics and a world beyond the dynamics of separation.

This @J_Bielenberg. He’s a dear friend, collaborator, and co founder of @commonworks. We look to John for clues about how thinking wrong is thinking right.

At some point you need to turn on the thing you created/built and become it’s biggest opponent. The process is called falsifization and it reveals all the gaps, delusions of grandeur, etc. that ultimately undermine what your doing.

[Mark Eckhardt @MarkEckhardt]

The day I forced my friend @LeslieCollin out in the Boulder snow and cold for a pic. He’s a brilliant strategist doing incredible work to forge new paths.
