Anti-Fragile Strikes Again! The Launch of Two Pilots (Seemingly in Spite of Hardship and Stress)

The Anti-Fragile Playbook

Jul 17 2021 • 1 hr 11 mins

It's the funniest thing: each time Ruth, Trudy, and Kent experience hardship, the Anti-Fragile Playbook project plan advances beyond that which should otherwise make sense.

This same thing happened during the snowstorm of 2/14, where the project accelerated seemingly in response to historic power outages and hardship.

As you may recall, an anti-fragile system is one that thrives in the context of stress and hardship, and once again this serves as an example of what happens when one explicitly invests in forms of soft capital to make a project truly anti-fragile, eg: able to thrive in the context of stress and difficulty.

This week the team launched not one, but two pilot communities in Austin, released a highly-refined brochure, and realized the software can run on desktops and laptops.

Additionally, the team of three grew now to seven core members, all while Ruth, Trudy, and Kent navigated significant hardship.

Topics discussed include project updates, as well as how an investment in "faith" really fuels a project's success.
