Action Taken
- Continue developing the Rise festival as a recurring in-person gathering for creatives.
- Use a partnered theater space as a hybrid performance and recording environment.
- Expand YouTube presence for long-form conversations, supported by short clips on other platforms.
- Treat AI as a co-writing and ideation tool, not a replacement for human creativity.
- Use AV systems and content workflows to create experiences that fit the audience rather than overwhelm them.
