Summary
Ceding control of content creation at Neighborhood Economics to the mostly younger team. Started to wander again. This also happened at SOCAP. I like this phase. I’m good at building businesses based on low friction collective intelligence pattern recognition within a community. We build a community where our business can survive and thrive. As I’ve gotten older I’ve become good at nurturing and helping younger entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life, staying engaged for a two or to five years, as an investor or co founder. Specialties: Repeated success in early market businesses, telling the story that builds the field and builds my business along with it. Building a community in which my business can thrive. A wandering community journalist who starts businesses. I began my career with seven years as a country weekly newspaper editor in the poorest county in Mississippi.I have two children and two grandsons and live on a farm by a river in North Carolina.
