Began reframing My Story - leading with my personal story - as suggested by David Weaver initially in the SupporTED Collaboratorium. So we're refining the Recruiting Strategy - as the initial hit through job boards buried the lead of a compelling story of changing the world.

No response from Craig Campbell on the OSE fund, which was promised for early yesterday and now latest by today. Responded to Sohil on assistnace with immediate priorities of attaining $20k/month bootstrap funding levels.

Worked with David Weaver on introduction email for recruiting, see Haystack Email. Then invited Marissa Levin to help create a strategy for recruiting advisors and mentors/coaches. Checked in briefly with Sunny to follow up on contacts regarding recruiting. Renee also suggested touching in with Colleen Keegan on advisory board development, so I set up an appointment.

Did not get much help yet recruiting from Encore, I don't think I did that right somehow. I did find Coming_of_Age_Kansas_City as a local org that helps organizations leverage 55+ talent. Dissatisfied with Encore results, i tried an Encore Message to Encore.

I am preoccupied with the Conxcorp opportunity - an offer to set up a large fund for removing OSE's current material scarcities. Craig Campbell, founding executive, knew about me for a long time, and I think saw the Master Prototyper Recruiting Video and my energy from TED Collaboratorium and decided it was time to contact me. His team was convinced enough by Strategic_Plan_2_Ambitious

I talked to Stephanie today to help refine the Operations_Manager_Role_Description, which Karien and I drew up over Karien's Saturday visit. Then I talked to Gerard Cox, and then Renee commented further on the Ops Manager description. I thought about how to expand coaching support to Social Entrepreneurship Fellows. Finished Shuttleworth Foundation Quarterly Reports (August), and started with Strategic Networking page, for which I started Category Tops.

Tomorrow morning David Weaver and I are reworking OSE Brand and I will be talking to Sunny and Katherine tomorrow. Including Levels of Openness in Human Enterprise in MIT Innovations Journal article. Having run into a former Ashoka-related contact - i wrote a Letter to Jim of Civic Ventures to recruit encore professionals.

Noticed OSE_Systems_and_Processes page outlining development procedure - useful for costing development expenses in strategic plan.

Today i have reviewed my Marcin's_Proposed_Schedule with Emily Aiken and discussed my 2 week plan with Scott Blessing. Further, David Weaver proposed the second cut of OSE Brand and Craig Campbell is vetting the feasibility of setting up a fund for OSE. I requested Donna Karlin to serve on my Board of Advisors for Organizational Development - Team Dynamics. Created Recruiting Process page, and began OSE Microhouse Prototype page. I noticed my TED Talk has over 200k hits on Will Cleaver's YouTube channel and Practical Post Scarcity vid has over 100k on another person's channel. We should centralize the numbers for branding purposes. Also posted feedback from Mark Shuttleworth on Community_Development.

Epic night finishing first draft of Strategic Plan 2 Ambitious
