What's Next? Peter Buffett

- Samhälle och kultur
Getting from “here” to “there” is rarely obvious - or a straight line. But radical imagination is always part of the process.
"What’s Next?" is a series of conversations in which my friend Jimmy Buff and I invited some insightful humans to share their ideas on changes to come and how we might help to create that change. We also talked with folks who shared their wisdom regarding how we got here. This is both a time capsule of moments gathered between 2015 and 2017 and a harbinger (we hope) of change in progress.
Einstein said "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
"What’s Next?” will get you thinking about creating new solutions to some of our current problems.

Joe Concra & O+ Festival
A conversation from September 2016 featuring Joe Concra, painter, activist, and co-founder of the non-profit organization called O+ (pronounced o-positive, like the blood type). O+ creates opportunities for community members to care for each other including their most well known offering, the annual O+ Festival, now in it's ninth year in Kingston, New York, where artists, health care providers, musicians, and volunteers collaborate in the co-creation of a community festival of art and wellness. All are equal, all are one at O+. This episode also features some interesting introductory conversation with Jimmy, myself, and my wife Jennifer that is still very timely despite being recorded approximately two months BT (before Trump).
