To rally us around a “better catastrophe,” I’ve been on an international stand-up tragedy roadshow. It’s a cross between a TED talk, comedy hour, fire-side chat, grief counseling session, and “what can I (still) do?” workshop. I promise both laughs and a deep reckoning. (Management not responsible for any side effects including existential dread, being galvanized into action, etc.) See you there.
