I know this picture is old (note the number on the sash), but I love this one for the look on the Baby New Year’s face — and the uncontrollable fall into **whatever this is** down below.
Good luck, kid.
2023 is shaping up to have some very interesting, and useful, stuff that I wanted to make sure you knew about. Here’s the highlights:
Future Here Now has hit its stride, with a good dose of analysis that helps you understand how the future is affecting your community and your work, plus additional wide-ranging resources and a special guide to putting what you’ve learned into action. Thinking and Doing.
You might get a partial FHN once in a while, but full subscribers get a twice-weekly dose, plus other goodies AND a private personal chat space with me and other Change Makers. And all for less than your latte. Upgrade to the real deal here -
Younger people, new technology….it’s hard to get your head around how fundamentally our communities and organizations are changing. But you can’t work with what you don’t understand, right?
Not to fear!
You can get your own FREE handy Guide to Surviving the Fusion Era, and see the forces that are driving once-in centuries transformation, right here.
And since you’ll probably have more questios about how to transform your work and your community, the Future Ready Change Maker’s Kit can help you build the insight and strength you need.
The Kit includes the FHN twice-weekly newsletter, a copy of The Local Economy Revolution Has Arrived, and a NEW guided journal that helps you make sense of the big changes and put them into action — for yourself, your work and your community. Learn more about the Future Ready Change Maker’s Kit Here.
Trep House, the online platform for accelerating Black and minority entrepreneurs, has developed a suite of trainings and learning experiences to help your young innovative Kings and Queens capitalize on their full potential. Check out the current catalogue of the Young Owners University right here - and send me a ping if your community or organizations wants to build Young Owners!
Finally, as a lot of you know, I’ve been the COO of a Black-led, Black-centric company (Trep House) for more than two years, and I’ve gotten a unique perspective on how white “Allies” can best help — and too often hurt — efforts to grow Black entrepreneurs and communities. And a lot of what I thought I knew turned out to be wrong.
I’m interested in talking to white people who are interested in becoming truly effective allies - I want to understand better what they want to learn, what assumptions they have, what scares or intimidates them. Trep House is launching programming and growth opportunities specifically designed for Allies, and no surprise, that’s going to be my responsibility. So tell me what y’all need, so that we can make it happen!Thanks for reading. Also, your hair looks great today.
