The Emergence podcast is back and I am excited to talk to my first guest in 3 years, Ravis Martinez, who is the President of the NAACP Lafayette, Louisiana chapter as well as a community leader looking for ideas on how to engage the homeless/unhoused around ideas on pathways for progress.
Ravis ran across a reference to Solid POD data stores in my book The Emergence: We Have a Communication Problem and asked if I had ideas of how to apply this to the issues found in his community. I mentioned I was in the process of building something I am calling The Deep Inquiry Framework, that I felt could help align people who want to help with people who could use the help without violating their privacy or monetizing their attention.
We both decided to jump on a call to discuss. This episode is a result of the dialogue which I believe is the seed to a very interesting project that looks to be unfolding. Stay tuned for a thread to unfold around this as we look to engage his community of leaders, workers and those who are facing challenges to become builders of their own pathways to progress.
If you would like to skip my intro, my conversation with Ravis starts at 12:30
