Medium Short: Unplugging From The Matrix
A week of living and learning to tell my story
--
Welcome to the latest Medium Short, a weekly accountability practice highlighting what I’m up to along the unmarked trail to #IndustrialHealing.
I’ve been digging into what industrial healing will require, which really means digging into how industry got to be so harmful in the first place. Beyond the hand-wringing and sensationalized media, I aim to understand what possibilities exist for positive change. Tomorrow I will present at Medium Day — sharing what I’m finding out, even as the ink of this sojourner’s tale is nowhere near dry.
Here’s a bit of what all that meant this past week.

I shifted from an economy-serving life, to a life-serving economy.
That’s what I’m exploring at 2:30pm EDT at Medium Day on August 12 (tomorrow!!!), which I have been prepping for this week. Here’s a preview of my talk —
I also created a one-minute video that sums up the content and the vibe. (Side note: it cracks me up that you can’t change the thumbnails on YouTube shorts and it’s frozen me in a rather pained expression. I am actually having fun delivering this!):
