Brian, thank you for joining this conversation. It seems, we need the presence of the evolutionary entrepreneur-philosopher to take it further. You are a still rare embodiment of an archetype sooooo essential to creating a world where business (and all social institutions) are designed to help us realize our highest potential!
One of things I am passionate about in this conversation is the question of what Zaadz can do to make that archetype less rare? I know, it is already doing a lot, AND i see many specific, untapped contexts, tools, practices that could up the game. In fact, so many that it wouldn't be possible to jam them into blog entries unless I became a full-time "Zaadz development" blogger, :-) something that I couldn't efford beside my "day job."
What draws me here, what motivates me to include in my morning practice a contemplation about the fututre of Zaadz, then write about what comes up, is the spirit expressed in your words:
> you're correct. Our intention has been to create an oasis that honors the highest within us and gives us that much needed sanctuary that inspires and empowers us to live at our highest potential.
It is the same evolutionary impulse, the manifestation of the same Authentic Self that is working through you, the Zaadz team, and a good number of Zaadzsters, including myself. From our shared commitment to realize the highest potential flows something that I feel as a moral obligation. It is to put my professional talents--as evolutionary leadership coach, online community architect, and knowledge ecologist--in service of Zaadz. Same is true about the excitement of co-discovering a way that could bring together Evolutionary Nexus and Zaadz into a new, mutually empowering configuration.

i'm really enjoying these exchanges. and i'm very thankful for all the attention and time that you're putting here on Zaadz. keep it flowing :)
btw, just a suggestion. i find these exchanges really valuable and informative. i think it would be cool if we can setup a pod (e.g. public, private, or semi-private, invite-only) wherein we can aggregate all the relevant conversations into threads and invite select people to participate. i can set this up for us if you're cool with it. just let me know :)
thanks again!

Excellent idea! Please do, much appreciated. How would you call the pod? Regarding access, it would be good to set it up, for now at least, as private and give access to interested members of the Zaadz team, plus Helen, Albert, myself, and later, a few colleagues of mine. Not that we want to exlude anybody from these explorations, but it is my experience of presencing that if we want to co-initiate a higher possibility, it is better to start with a rather small group and let it grow, later in the co-sensing phase. Scharmer explains those terms in Chapter 21. Thanks ~C 4 your help.
understood. i prefer the pod to be by invitation too. you know what they say about too many cooks in the kitchen :)
as for the pod's name, i'd leave that to you. or we can discuss the general topics to cover and come up a name and a keyword based on that. i'll send you a private message where we can discuss the details.
thanks again for your time.
