September 21, 2023 by David Gillaspie

GRASSROOTS WORK FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

September 20, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Grassroots work for the future is making noise. In our digital age ‘grassroots’ means something different than other times. The Attention Economy asks but one question: “Can you make me care about your cause?”

USEFUL BOOMERS FOR MATERIAL CULTURE

September 16, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Useful boomers should know things, the sort of things that show a certain level of awareness. Awareness is useful, so is cleanliness. Directing that awareness to history is even more useful. But it can’t be funky history, so let’s start with the basic question: What Happened? People need to know the right stuff.

RISK MANAGEMENT FOR MARRIAGE

September 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie
