Here's what I'm wondering... Who is in control of the context you inhabit? Mainstream culture's context has a purpose. The purpose is basically to survive. From a very early age... → Walls get made. → Defence mechanisms are deployed. → Impenetrable fortresses are built. Then we wonder... How did we end up here? → Isolated from community → Working and being alone → Numbing your feelings → Disconnected from nature → Lost inside of your head → Stuck in unescapable cycles → Displaced from home and belonging If you’re NOT in control of the context you inhabit… Guess what context you’re inhabiting? Default Context. Inhabiting default context is like being a pawn in somebody else’s game. → You’re never in control. → Everything happens to you. → You are a victim. → You just have to survive no matter what. → You’re a user and not a creator. What kind of context are you sourcing? The proof is in the pudding. What you create is directly connected with the context you’re sourcing and inhabiting. The results don’t lie. → If you’re sourcing a context of Low Drama, you’ll create Low Drama around you. → If you’re sourcing a context of Extraordinary Human Relating, you’ll create Extraordinary Human Relating. → If you’re sourcing a context of betrayal, jealousy, and inferiority, guess what you’ll create and see all around you. Context is for a human what soil is for a plant. Setting, holding and navigating contexts are skills that we're not taught in school, at home or university. I have bad news and good news for you… The bad news is that learning these skills is not as easy as learning to fry an egg or change the oil in your vehicle. The good news is that nothing can stop you from learning these skills right now. There are tons of free resources at startover.xyz to learn how to set context. There are teams practicing every day setting the context. The question I have for you is... Have you had enough of living in somebody else’s context? Let’s go! Love, Jorge P.S.: If you’re looking for a team to support and empower each other building our projects… I’m building a project empowering team you might want to join. P.S.2: Worktalk happening next week on Growness, a way to structure your projects and offerings that replaces business.

Hey, my weekly support and empowerment team is starting next week. We focus each week on one team member's projects. Reply "teamwork" to this email, and I'll send you the details. Ok, let's be blunt. Humans have feelings and emotions. You can stop hiding now. Humans are way more irrational and unreasonable than we like to think. → The way that we buy stuff... → The way we choose our partners... → The way we make friends... → And just generally the way we make decisions... These are all...
You are carrying seeds of regenerative culture… You are building cool stuff… You are either in the design phase… Or you are actively experimenting with your design… You want to collaborate with others… A support team to help you build this thing… A core team to create a regenerative ecosystem… You’ve learned that doing it by yourself is not regenerative. You might be facing challenges with:- Navigating emotions within yourself and the team - Burnout, discouragement, fatigue - Going in...
You can only be in one of two teams: 1) The looking-good team, or 2) The learning team. You cannot be in both. Learning requires NOT looking good. Imagine trying to learn to play guitar but you're not willing to make mistakes. Learning starts with being with your incompetence. Learning that you are incompetent can be terrifying. It can trigger your box defence mechanisms dedicated to: Maintain the status quo Keep things normal and unchanging Maintain the image you have of yourself Maintain...
