Show notes

A solo opening episode. Why the word 'institution' has become imprecise, what it should mean, and how to tell the difference between an organization that will outlive its founders and one that will not.

Themes: the invisible foundations of durable institutions; the role of governance; the operating system as artifact; why the 'launch' is not the beginning of the work. This episode sets up the questions the series will return to over the season.
