Hey Good Stewards,

Short email but big updates this week. First off, the logo winner by a longshot:

Thanks to everyone who submitted! We’re already talking about how we can integrate all the beautiful logo submissions into future initiatives.

Second, we are a breath away from closed beta. In fact, the only thing that’s keeping us is the Apple Store, being the notorious pain in the…app…it is. But the code is there and ready.

We’ll be opening the beta up to invite-only in the coming weeks as we tweak and refine things. I’m going to be trying to reach out to all of the folks who have donated to our Substack, and/or have been highly engaged across platforms.

Shooting to have the app released in full this summer.

TAO Talks: The Emergence of Wellbeing Economies

If you need a reason to be hopeful or optimistic, this episode of TAO Talks is worth a listen. J Friday’s energy is infectious, in the best way possible.

While the headlines scream about collapse and chaos, something else is happening quietly beneath the surface: a global shift in what we value and how we build.

In this week’s conversation with J Friday, we explored the rise of wellbeing economies: systems that measure success not by endless growth or shareholder profits, but by the health, happiness, and thriving of communities. It's not just theory. It’s happening right now. Friday has documented over 300 movements from regenerative projects to drivers' co-ops that keep profits circulating locally instead of being siphoned away by distant shareholders.

If you’ve been feeling the tremors under the old world and wondering if something better is truly possible, you’re not imagining it. The collective is shifting.

Plug into the full conversation and learn how platforms like Connection Engine (and soon, TAO) are building the infrastructure for the future:
