The Cost of Seeing Clearly: How Wisdom Demands Its Own Price
Hi everyone, how’s your week? Mine was special! Very special! For the first time in a few years, I took some time off and travelled to meet a group of people I had been meeting with 2 or 3 times a week on Zoom for 2 years. There was a sereness to meeting a dozen people for the first time in person and yet feeling like you've known them all your life.

We're drowning in information and starving for understanding. I know because I've been there, and I'm slowly

The Age of Automation: Are We Forgetting How to Think?
Hi everyone, How was your week? Ours was busy; we just wrapped our 14th DCC Roundtable on LinkedIn automation. While preparing, I had an awakening. Something I’d been sensing but couldn’t name. And then it hit me: we’re on a more slippery slope than I ever imagined. I’m not a doomsayer, but I’ve seen this before - moments when disruption demanded our involvement. This one does too… but for how long? I’ve always admired the builders, those who turn chaos into structure and v
