We are entering an era where technical knowledge -- while still necessary -- is no longer sufficient. In order to navigate this world, we need creators, empathizers, meaning makers, and team players. In other words, improvisers.

People consistently walk into The Making-Box and tell us, “I’m not creative. I could never do what you do.” While I respect and understand people feeling that way, the reality is, that excuse is a sky-high pile of poo.

It doesn’t matter which side of the movement you’re on. Whether you are the wide-eyed recipient of a dismissive jab, or the one with the shoe-leather tongue wondering what you did wrong, navigating the shifting world of social justice is tricky business.

A lot of people started this month by making a resolution. But hot take: setting resolutions based on a time of the year is mostly unmotivational bull poop. But perhaps there’s a reason improvisers are also people who get stuff done.
