We’re it, man. We’re the reason for the season. Everything that has ever mattered (in the human world, not the natural world, to be clear) comes from people. Individuals and communities. Not from machines, not from corporations, but from people and communities who not only have (ideas but the wherewithal to pursue those ideas with effort, commitment, learning, and sheer teeth-gritting bloody-mindedness. I want you to feel that in your bones. I want you to feel the power you possess as a person in this world who tells stories. We’re going to what?
We’re going to win. How?
I want you to tell those stories. Your stories. The ones that matter most to you — not the ones that feed machines, not the ones that feed companies, but the ones that feed you, and by proxy, the audience beyond you.
