My approach (how we work toward better futures)
Sobriety before optimism — meaningful hope starts with a clear view of the mess.
Rigorous mapping is care — navigational literacy is part of our duty of care.
Silos are traps — we traverse domains and integrate insight.
Mentorship is strategy — growing people is how we grow futures.
