Jordan and Peter 2022.11.29

You are not broken.
Forge or join a resonate group.
Tendency - to want to get whole first...
the rate of opening vs. closing loops
convening... and then making people feel like they are working on same goal... superpower.
The problem -
- When we get together... we can feel like we are accomplishing something just because we are together...
- The yin yang balance

OODA and other cycles

No "brave enough" to X...
Jordan has loops with each person and can't get us all through all the loops
"governance" problem
My gut / intuition says ...
- that the sovereign thing would work
- in lieu of large scale coordination...
- it is enough for each Sovereign - to decide what it is going to do.... don't have to worry yet whether and how it "fits"
- The important thing is that it execute what it believes in effectively...
Many people didn't feel part of a 'sovereign' - and didn't know how to start...

To have a directory to say here are the things I am working on...
- Problem - it is hard to describe... what the piece is...
- Hard enough to describe to a friend...
- The way through the sovereign thing - is negotiation. small scale.
- If you have a small sovereign - negotiate with another small sovereign if you can help one another...
- and trying to do that through a directory is a impossible thing.
Negotiation - then agreements
- especially pair-wise negotiation, at least to start

Some individuals are in groups
Some are not...
Some of my reasonably enlightened friends who get this don't necessarily play well in groups...

Getting lost in abstraction
Trying to get too many minds around too big of a thing
Jordan (or anyone) having individual loops and not being able to bring them together (maybe or maybe not a problem)

Jordan in several sovereign autonomous groups doing meaningful things.
Prefer groups - where like ithing - I am willing to spend 5 or 10% of time and resources exploring higher coordination.

Can't say yes to every deal that comes along - have to evaluate the time you spend and relationship in light of resrouces constrains and goals.
Learn how to do business development, say no to potential opportunities and yes to the ones that will really advance.
Hierarchy of Partnerships
- Is this potential

my org can source deals that it wants, rather than just depending on what comes in over the transom
- actually out hunting and sourcing
Defining in advance the decision making criteria / matrix around potential deals
evaluating the deal from our org's point of view - do we think this will this be good for us?
expressing a potential deal to a partner - what's in it for them? what's in it for us?
negotiating terms of the deal
executing on the terms of the deal
learning and iterating this deal and other deals
learning to terminate bad deals
"negotiating is maybe a gateway drug to learning the rest of it"

Break building a mind and building Lionsberg down into parts... and discuss possible immediate next steps.
