INTRO: The Big Idea

What's the big idea? (Why? Where? When? Who? How?) Beyond The Hero there are beautiful minds. They are stout and playful and curious and not inhibited by unrestrained questions. They make bold intelligent bets on Better.

Episode 1: Better

These thrive on action! This is deliciously tricky, especially in complex arenas where issues are inevitably multi-sided, simultaneous, have real conditions and true constraints. In order for solutions to be sustainably rendered these implementers Beyond The Hero satisfy  six criticals. This takes immaculate cooperation and coordination. It takes guts. This is definitely not a cakewalk; neither is it for the mewler or faint of heart.

Episode 2: The Hard Stuff

This is definitely not for the flippant cynic. And not for Humpty Dumpty propped up and waiting. Distinctly, this requires clarity of thought,  a clear mind, and a readiness to engage a good challenge.

Episode 3: Multi-Hyphenate Clarity

This requires, at its best, wholesomeness and a readiness to go where one has never been before. It takes guts. This is definitely not for the one who is energized debating, dividing and putting down, whatever the disguise. Distinctly, this requires valued positive engagement with supportive connections, bettered with a fruitful grasp of cognizant dissonance, contact switching, concentration, and a healthy connection to rejection.

Episode 4: Facilitating Better

This requires honest partnerships with effective leaders - an able breed whose qualities supplant selfishness in all of its non-productive forms, minds that refuse to maintain the lavish squandering of humanity's potential, that will not allow these to continually die on vines soaked in wanton ignorance, that can find their joy and longevity and wealth and rich legacies in securing and servicing and honoring the best in each other.

Episode 5: Back Of The Envelope

This demands of bravery a strong appreciation for relevance and a firm understanding of form vs function, facade vs framework, trajectory vs tradition. It requires openness: a requisite broadening of perspectives and narrowing of focus. This takes stamina. It is hardly an arena suitable for the fragile or the frigid.  Commitment to cause - a smart stick-to-itiveness, an ability to pluck opportunity out of chaos, and a readiness to pivot when called, are well rewarded.

Episode 6: Campfire

This requires of their focus an openness to other insights. It demands of their decision process applied wisdom and discernment. These problem-solvers are generally attuned to patterns operating in their fields, to the patterns of those stories and the stories of those patterns. There exists within our natural realms patterns as fixed as the rolls of planets, and patterns as fitted as the scrolls of our thoughts, and patterns as fickle as the poles of passing clouds. It is not enough to understand nor marvel at their differences, it is necessary to recognize that such patterns are ineffably intertwined. The goal: make better; be better!
