We talked about ego, culture, and why human connection still matters more than ever.

Five months ago I went to Phoenix Global Forum.
It ended up shifting how I think about AI, cross-sector collaboration, and public systems.
PGF returns May 12, 2026. If you’re in this space, it’s one to watch.

“Cringe” is code for “I’m not brave enough to do that.”
“It’s too late.”
“No one will care.”
“It’s already been done.”

I used to dodge social—my friends were always like “get in the picture, Kate!” Then I posted a quick clip about a busted door handle in Mesa. It blew up. Real beats polished. Nonprofits, small biz, city orgs: your message matters. Use these tools.

Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara—my favorite read of 2025 so far.
When AI grabs the spotlight, this book reminded me why emotional intelligence still matters. Hospitality, done right, transforms businesses—and people.
Couldn’t put it down.

It’s publish with protection.

I love sharing what I learn. That won’t change.
But Cuban’s right—some ideas need a lockbox before a LinkedIn post.

His take: keep core creative IP private.
License what matters. Share smart, not wide.
This hit especially hard for anyone working on:
— Proprietary frameworks
— Original research
— Thought leadership

✍️ Mark Cuban at ASU this year dropped a quietly radical take on publishing in the age of AI:
“If you publish, you will perish.”
That line stuck with me.
Here’s what it means, and why we need to rethink “building in public.” 🧵
