1. The Blueprint for System Change | Ash Sarkar Meets Extinction Rebellion Founder Roger Hallam

   An absolute surprise banger of a strategy and design podcast. So many sparks of ideas and quotes:

   When you're developing a strategy you have to do some sub optimal things to get to a better place

   Shut up and listen

   • Remote enables a diverse audience
   • The power of listening
   • Nonviolent Communication
   • Present something » move to a breakout space » do something… but NO q&a
   • Building solidarity with people (in-person) by embodied ‘doing’
   • Create a pathway to action – The Steps Collective
   • Breakout groups FTW: create empowerment by enabling everyone gets time to speak – Liberating Structures
   • A social conditioning that other people are disposable (similar topic in a recent Trashfuture
   • First pancake theory: accepting that your first try at something is going to be crap
   • Growth comes from working through the hard stuff
   • Sortition
   • Delegate conferences aren’t designed to foster deeper connection or change - Reminds me of a conversation with James Lang when curating Research by the Sea

   Props to Tom Scott for the recommendation.
