In this segment, the speaker discusses how he is designing Wisdom Councils to outlive his personal involvement. He explains the creation of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to provide an organizational backbone, appointing a separate president to run it, and establishing a clear succession plan. The speaker recounts the first co-facilitation in Istanbul, where a trainee facilitator was mentored, and later experiences in the Scottish Highlands where he participated as a member while another facilitator, Charles Noonan, led the session. This process has expanded the facilitator pool to four, illustrating a deliberate strategy of training, co-facilitation, and role transition to ensure the councils' sustainability beyond his lifetime.
