Failure isn't about throwing in the towel. It is about knowing when to level up by moving on. I have cancelled the August 27th production of The Speakers Collaborative. - Lack of speakers making the commitment. - - Lack of interest from the community. - - - Lack of resources to produce. 🏫 Most important: It is the first day of school for my daughters, and likely many other daughters. So I am going to be home. Lessons learned: - Don't rely on ChatGPT to tell you which markets to go to. I wanted a place in size and demographics like my other successful events. - Don't try to do all the marketing and outreach yourself. - Find a local who is interested to be your local lead. - Check the calendars. August 27 isn't just the first day of school here, it is also the date that the local chamber hosts a big event, etc... What next: - I have assembled an advisory board to help me navigate the growth. - - I am considering launching an official channel with apps and all. - - - I have a few more in the pipeline that I will announce once we sync. I have had great leads from this community, and I would appreciate even more leads. My new sites will be based on the level of interest in those areas, rather than arbitrary demographics. I still have the stage. Get on it, Cody Hand PS - tell me in the comments where I should go next. PPS - I am not finished with Texas, it just won't be in August. #failurefriday #publicspeaking

Public Narratives — From Curation to Overload to Perma-Rage With today’s social media algorithms and mobile devices, public information has shifted from being curated by editors and reporters to an always-on tsunami in our pockets. In the 20th century, traditional media’s dissemination of information moved at a radically slower pace and on a smaller scale compared to today’s free-for-all. Citizens could digest news incrementally, allowing public conversation to evolve at a steady pace. For better or worse, this fostered a more muted and measured public discourse. Citizen input was mostly confined to quieter forms of expression, such as letters to editors, phone-ins, vox pops, and interviews. Now, digital platforms offer instant connectivity and exchange. It’s widely accepted that this amplification of immediate interconnection has fuelled impulsive, adversarial, and misinformed hysteria. Rapid escalation and cancellation have become the norm. Tristan Harris (Center for Humane Technology) and Jonathan Haidt and others continue to advocate for positive interventions in this space. In response, newer niche platforms like BeReal. Nextdoor, Somewhere Good, minutiae and Sunroom are developing more nuanced engagement strategies. Features like cooldown periods between posts and limited daily posts aim to promote more considered discourse. However, the dominant business model for online interaction remains driven by algorithms optimised to a simple formula: #HumanAttention + #TargetedAdvertising = #MaximisedProfits It is well established that negative content increases and prolongs human engagement—a seismic consequence that shapes our daily interactions. The ubiquity of these targeting algorithms, championed by figures like Sheryl Sandberg (Google 2001–2008; Meta/Facebook 2008–2022), now drives much of our civic discourse. Echo chambers and the rapid spread of misinformation have become the new normal. As we navigate this reality, balancing the benefits of instant communication with the need for meaningful and constructive dialogue is critical.
