Cross-pollinating online courses via recorded conversations

TL;DR of cross-pollination thing is to have a bunch of people running online courses etc have recorded conversations with each other about how their systems/practices/etc interrelate and support each other, then put those convos in the courses. high-bandwidth hyperlink

wrapping up a call with @m_ashcroft where we accidentally invented a whole new cross-pollination thing and it took negative amounts of effort it's happening: twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/…

it's like a referral network except the fundamental unit isn't an affiliate link, it's a *conversation* the convo is valuable even if nobody clicks thru & we share a clear sense that we wouldn't want to do this with people who have high-pressure/coercive marketing/sales pages

so for example, we're gonna have a conversation where we talk about resonances between his @m_ashcroft's Alexander Technique course (Expanding Awareness) and my open-ended goal-setting workshops (Goal-Crafting Intensives), and put that convo into each of our course content

we might do 2 convos per link, one that sort of starts at GCI and moves towards AT, and the other goes in the other direction 🌉 so that it naturally meets people where they're starting, conceptually or in terms of their development/skillset not sure yet!

& doesn't have to be just courses 🤔 - we could do it with apps (that have clear philosophies or perspectives, like complice.co/philosophy) - or we could do it with books! (although I'm not sure where the video would *go* with a book) so we gotchu vv

but I do have books, and I do have videos, and I do have podcasts, you can basically google me and chart your own path to figure out whatever it is you wanna learn from me I might put together some tidied up "suggested paths" and a tip jar maybe x.com/Coscorrodrift/…

quoting @Coscorrodrift: @visakanv if u were ever bread-wanty you could reframe it as "book that u pay for, but that is accessible for people who don't wanna read/for shit that's better told on video" not sure about ingroup mfs but most courses ive taken have been basically that, just some videos, not
