Ep 9: Interlude - Introducing near/distant
Introducing near/distant, aka the rebrand of the podcast formerly known as 2023. Near/distant is a space to imagine a future we actually want to live in. Think of it as an antidote to anxiety and frustration about a future which might be looking pretty bleak.
Once a month I’ll talk to someone who will describe their current reality and then paint a picture of the future they want to see. Then we’ll brainstorm some actionable steps we can take right now to move towards that future.
