Hey friends,
I’ve been thinking (obsessing) a lot about where we go from here - how we are going to mend ourselves enough to salvage a country. But, the question I keep coming back to is: how are we going to elevate ourselves to *actually* move beyond the hamster wheel of chaos. I’m convinced it’s in the hands of civilians, not policy makers, in communities, not administrations. And, the only way to start is by talking to each other.
And, while I feel like we’ve been trying to do that for years, NOW is a different moment.
Along with other committed, (I’m biased) brilliant minds, I’m launching The Land of AND, a space where we can have real, unscripted, live conversations that go beyond soundbites and outrage. No debates where people just wait for their turn to talk. No easy answers. Just constant curiosity about the things that actually shape our world.
I’ve picked Twitch because it’s one of the few platforms built for real-time, interactive conversations and authentic community building rather than passive consumption. There, we can have a multi-directional conversation, not just a firehose from the TV or Insta or wherever into is coming. At the Land of AND you’re participation is required - not in comments, but in live interaction. Jump into the chat, ask questions, challenge ideas, and help guide where the discussion goes. And if you can’t make it live, we’re keeping the conversation going on Substack, YouTube, and social media, so there are always ways to stay engaged.
So if you’re tired of all the shouting and looking for a space where questions matter more than quick takes, I’d love for you to be part of this. Follow on Twitch, subscribe to YouTube, subscribe to the Substack, and let’s build The Land of AND together. See you there.
