Craft-Building Series — Late Summer Grey Swan Guild Pursuits
Going Deeper into the F,G and Hs of the Craft, Art and Science of Making Sense of the World — Editions #37–44
We have climbed behind the curtain over the last year discovering not just the “what” of making sense of the world but also the “how” in our craft-building series for the Grey Swan Guild. Come join as we explore together.
On all topics, we’ll explore some:
- wide and fresh perspectives
- the topic in context of today’s and tomorrow’s worlds
- burning questions
- hindsight, insight and foresight
- top debates
- the under-observed, overlooked, or miscalculated
- best approaches and disciplines
- great examples
- some pop culture and fun thrown in for good measure
- leading resources to turn to
- a recap of what the key highlights and conclusions we arrived to
