In this episode, Ruth Glendinning and Kent Dahlgren report upon progress within three representative 214 Alpha communities, including activities within the Anti-Fragile "living laboratory," calibrated to a local watershed, in Austin, Texas.

Ruth and Kent discuss outreach at a farmers market (validating solution statements defined by community activists to address root conditions of outrage), as well as the first meaty governance discussions within a recent in-person community meeting.

From Alchemy to Xerosere: Ruth and Kent additionally discuss the transformational nature of community activation at the local level, inviting people to embrace a spirit of hope to displace a sense of outrage and despair, by embracing wealth that's right beneath our noses.
