I've been thinking about leadership in our moment, and the lack thereof.
In this week's letter, we look through the lens that Marshall McLuhan gave us: "People experience far more than they understand; and it is experience, not understanding, that shapes behavior."

New essay on why stories don’t work without coherence. How what people perceive matters more than what they’re told.

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.
But ProPublica did.

New essay: "Something Goes Wrong!"
Most stories hinge on a break—the moment “meaning” starts. Great for drama, bad for imagining the Circular Century.
“Perfect Days” shows another way: nothing breaks, and that’s the point.
If circularity needs belief, it needs new story forms.

Donald Trump Is a Commie
Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Second in a series about great ideas from strategy and philosophy that inform circular transformation. This one is about Clayton Christensen’s Jobs To Be Done lens. It gets a little weird! #strategy #circulareconomy #JTBD

Ignore the stories about how terrible spotted lanternflies are.
If you own a vineyard, they're a pest. If not, they’re no big deal: a new ecosystem member, eaten by other animals.
You don't need to feel bad about them, or squash them, or cut down their trees. You have permission to enjoy them.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
