Howdy! 

It’s been forever since I stopped doing the Yi-Tan podcast calls. (They ran from 2004 to 2013 and are all in the Internet Archive.) In fact, there’s been a podcast Renaissance in the meantime. I hope you're all doing well.

If you found Yi-Tan valuable before, now you can upgrade: I’ve just launched a video blog (a vlog) called Inside Jerry’s Brain. Like Yi-Tan, I’m hosting thoughtful conversations around topics that matter. But now these conversations are in video, and they draw on (and feed) a single mind map I’ve been curating for 21 years. (Next month will mark 21 actual years. Learn more at JerrysBrain.com.)

The next IJB call starts tomorrow morning at 9am Pacific, in my Zoom room. The topic will be amnesia. Not so much individual memory loss, but cultural amnesia brought about by the ever-growing info-torrent, with few tools that help us remember. I just I just published these 5 short videos demonstrating my use of TheBrain as an appetizer to the topic. 

Feel free to join the call tomorrow, and also to forward this note to anyone you think might be interested. To get notified of upcoming IJB calls so you can be in them, live, join this mailing list. It'll feel like Yi-Tan, only with leather fringe.

IJB isn’t the only way we can stay in touch. I’m inventing a new design practice called Design from Trust. Using those principles, I've proposed companies work above The Joy Line

In fact, last year I realized that Trust is central to my quest, and set up a Patreon page around it. If you’ve found some value in questing with me over the years, please consider backing me at any amount. 

I'd also *love* to bring any of these ideas to your organization as a speech, workshop or consulting engagement. 

If all of this makes you think of a couple friends who would benefit from joining in, please hit “forward” and send this email their way. This is how we build our tribe. 

Lmk how you’re doing, or what questions you’d like me to try to answer. 

Cheers,
Jerry

Sounds great Jerry, hope to make it! But your "my Zoom room" link goes to YouTube - help?

Oh poop! Wrong link! 

My Zoom room actually lives here

Thanks, John! Much appreciated.

So glad to see this - what a wonderful surprise! Count me in, though doubt I can make this first one due to scheduling commitments.

Jerry, I was super jazzed to see this, as I still regularly tell people about Jerry's Brain (and Jerry's brain!!!)

I'm maxi-slammed with the growth of Sovrin (global public utility for self-sovereign identity that started up 2 years ago and is now gaining serious traction), so I don't know how often I'll be able to join, but please do keep me on the mailing list.

Best,

=Drummond  

Cheers, Michael

Thanks, Drummond! 

I'd actually love to have an IJB call around Sovrin; up for that? 

In order for me to add you to the IJB list, would you send me (off this list :) the email you'd prefer I use? Here I'm using your old connect.me address. 

Dipping in and out of the IJB conversation is perfect. I imagine many people will have a similar rhythm. And I'll be posting all the calls to YouTube afterward. 

Cheers,
Jerry

Yes, definitely. Just a matter of timing as I have some really crazy travel coming up (on Dec 2 I will be out of the country for 5 weeks).

Already done. Ironically, what's old is new—connect.me lives in a new form (it's the brand name of Evernym's Sovrin wallet/agent app), so that address still works fine.

Excellent, thanks for starting this up again Jerry.

Jerry,

I’d love to share with you in a public call about self-sovereign identity. I recently did a Meetup on its Ideology & Architecture:
