Chapters

How do we accelerate the understanding and adoption of new ideas? And really importantly, how do we do that without coercion, without manipulation, while honoring people's agency, while giving full information, full transparency? There is nothing that your mind knows that your body didn't experience first. There is a huge amount of common ground on which for us to base our conversations with each other that we are not currently treading. A lot of changes, a lot of like product launches, a lot of offerings die at the point of first explanation. I sure I would love to make a bajillion dollars from it, but it's actually way more important to me to give people tools for getting new important ideas out into the world faster.
