Edgar Huitema, PhD  and I sat down to record a live conversation about Substack, workshops and our quality vision for online communities. We covered.

• Workshops vs. content streaming: what makes a workshop actually a workshop, and why outcome matters more than format

• Community of practice as the missing layer for technical founders and consultants building alone

• Learning by doing vs. learning by listening, and why frameworks need a room to be tested in

• AI as a tool, not a replacement for human validation, with real examples of where blind trust in AI went wrong

• AI risk assessment as a topic worth its own workshop

• What Substack can do that a single creator, however large, cannot: solving very specific, very unique problems together

• Paywalls and what should and shouldn't be gated (consultancy as a paid service, community and co-creation kept open)

Edgar, thank you!
