Snafu Conference – March 5, 2026Organizations have to be resilient to survive in the modern world of work. So do individuals. One of the most overlooked skills in the 21st century is the ability to sell — to advocate, influence, and persuade. To complement Responsive Conference, we’ve launched something new: The Snafu Conference. This event is for anyone who needs to advocate for their ideas, raise funds, or lead with influence — especially if you’ve never thought of yourself as a salesperson. Like Responsive Conference, it’s built around real conversations, immersive experiences, and a community of thoughtful doers — but this time, the focus is on mastering the art of authentic persuasion. Join us on March 5, 2026, at the Oakland Museum of California for a day that will change how you think about genuine selling, authentic connection, and storytelling. Learn more about The Snafu Conference, the latest experience from the Responsive team.
Until next time, |

If you listen to AI nihilists, AGI is...
Hello, By now, you’ve seen the news coming out of Minneapolis – and elsewhere – about the use of force by ICE. It’s disturbing, unconstitutional, and not something we can just scroll by and ignore. The question becomes: What does it mean to act together? How do we participate, even when there are differences of opinion and no single clear path forward? Tomorrow, January 30, a 24-hour National Shutdown is taking place in the United States. The idea is simple: If you’re able to stay home from...
Hello there, It’s been a little while, and I’m glad to be back in touch. As we look ahead to Responsive Conference 2026, our focus is sharpening around a central question: The pace of change has become impossible to ignore. How is the job landscape changing – and what those changes mean for our work, our organizations, and ourselves? New tools are entering the workplace quickly and expectations are shifting fast. Roles feel increasingly less defined, and the path forward isn't clear....
