New Leaf Initiative 2.0 sends out it's juiciest email yet

I've been studying the New leaf Initiative people and project for a while, I find their skills and approach fascinating.

 

They just sent out an email that I consider to have the largest chunk of new info on how to get access to the community hub they built. Links to ways to rent the space, how to become a partner, how to start coworking, all that good stuff we have been waiting for since it opened. So - here it is, stored until mailchimp deletes the archived copy (6 months to several years , depending on their archive settings). After that, the images may be gone, but the text and links should still work.

 

(It's a tough copy - mailchimp just packs some templates with kruft and sass stylesheets, so a simple copy/paste fails catastrophically...) (I, however, have more than a few tricks up my sleeve, lulz.) (oh, and the design styles for this are not exactly easy to visually process, not quite enough contrast, meant for the eyes of the under-40 demographic. Maybe load magnifier.exe?)

 

 

Happy Monday 3/24! Can't see the goods?

Innovation Is Messy: Navigating the Twists and Turns
"What happens when pragmatic thinkers work with big-picture thinkers? What happens when the goal-oriented thinkers meet the patient thinkers?This is exactly how and where innovation happens: when people who think differently talk to each other."

A Happy Life or a Meaningful One: Do We Really Need to Choose?
"Philosophers, researchers, spiritual leaders—they've all debated what makes life worth living. Is it a life filled with happiness or a life filled with purpose and meaning? Is there even a difference between the two?"

How to Build A Productive Tech Economy
"Technological innovation is a key factor – if not the key factor in economic growth and job generation. But in today’s knowledge economy, the capacity to innovate and generate new high-tech industries and jobs is much more concentrated and clustered in some places than others."
