Survive the Spike
Seth and Kristen discuss the energy experiences at events and the need for meaningful connections that continue beyond the event. They propose that storytelling about shared experiences can enhance collaboration and create a sense of community, accountability, and inspiration among attendees. Their goal is to develop a public space for communal storytelling, transforming fleeting event energy into lasting connections and impact.
