    Some friends and fellow members of Brain Drain and myself are taking part in GOOD Ideas for Cities (St. Louis edition), and will be presenting our solution to the following problem on March 8th at CAM.

    Have an animated conversation with a young transplant or multi-generational loyalist and you will understand the passion people here have for St. Louis. But, too often, the message falls back on empty boosterism. Whatever the cause, we must understand it, admit it and fix it. How do we deepen the pool of diverse people who love St. Louis and are personally invested in its progress?

    We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this, as this is something quite close to our hearts. If you can, please come to the event. It should be a ton of fun.

  3. You’ve heard of voting with your wallet? Now you vote with your actions. That’s how a service-driven culture operates. Each of us are dynamic nodes in a highly connected system, and we need to fully grasp that responsibility.

    — GOOD, which has been absolutely killing it lately.

  4. I see more clearly how little need there is for all the consumption and waste. I like what [the inventor] Saul Griffith once said. Everyone should receive a Montblanc pen and Rolex watch at birth, and then they’d never need to replace them in a lifetime.
