Richard Bartlett is a community organizer, entrepreneur & coach who helps people grow high-trust communities & decentralized organizations. Back in 2011, he was a part of the Occupy Wall Street movement, a pivotal moment that set him on the path to becoming a key player in Enspiral - an organization that shares money, power & information to help its members do meaningful work. He went on to found Loomio, a software that helps companies seamlessly navigate the intricacies of decentralized organization. Later he founded the Hum, a non-hierarchical management consultancy that's rewriting the rules of how we work together. His latest venture is a community-building network and movement known as Microsolidarity. In this episode, we speak about essential modalities & practices for community builders, building trust and accelerating personal growth through community, navigating the polarity of autonomy and belonging, collective intelligence, how to integrate vulnerability into the workplace, creating decentralized organizations and so much more.

TODAY'S GUEST   Today, I'm speaking to Richard D. Bartlett, aka Rich Decibels.   During the Occupy movement in 2011, Rich caught a glimpse of a different way of being together — more compassionate, more intelligent, more creative, inclusive, and animating than he'd experienced as a student worker or citizen up to that point. Since then, he's been on a mission. In 2012 he co-founded Loomio, a digital tool for deliberation and decision-making in groups of 3-300 people.   In 2016 he co-founded The Hum, a management consultancy for organizations without managers. The Hum has recently published an online training course that shares what they know about working in highly decentralized organizations. Rich is also a Director and longstanding member of Enspiral — a network of people supporting each other to grow up and to get paid for doing meaningful work.   Rich has a daily writing practice. He writes about how people work together, at any scale, from relationships, to organizations, to social change, and he's prolific on Twitter and on Medium. His fascinating book (currently in beta) is called Patterns for Decentralized Organizing and can be downloaded from Leanpub.   EPISODE SUMMARY   In this conversation we talk about: How growing up in a strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing, and decoupling from that, shaped his outlook. His complex relationship with atheism and religion today. How he discovered love and solidarity in activism. Technologies of organizing. Forming decentralized decision-making processes. Nihilism in the face of dysfunction as a form of cowardice. Loomio, and collective decision-making software. Status and hierarchy. Shifting culture through fermentation. And the concept of stewardship.   We spoke in mid-June 2022, and I was excited to talk to Rich since he's been introduced to me by Daniel Thorson, whom I interviewed here in episode 10. I've been following his writing on Twitter and find the idea of decentralized work and collaboration fascinating, exciting, and challenging.   It's perhaps the greatest question of our time: now that we're all connected and have incredible tools of self-organization, how can we make better decisions together? How can we outcompete centralized organizations? And how can we benefit from the wonderful richness of so many brains without descending into chaos, nihilism and mob rule?   This conversation is one of a dozen or so weekly conversations that we already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, entrepreneurs, and activists who are working to change our world for the better.

His most recent endeavour is a community building network called Microsolidarity, Although I've followed him for a while now, we met in person at the Solarpunk NOW event in Austria organized by the Crypto Commons Association part of the Breadchain Cooperative.  During the interview we discussed his experience in building high trust communities, his thoughts on crypto world, and dealing with the contradiction of being on the left and needing to both live within and be against capitalism at the same time. If you're interested in learning more about decentralized organizing, I highly recommend checking out the  Better work together book written by those who have been a part of Enspiral.

In this episode we speak with Richard Bartlett, co-founder of the tech cooperative Loomio, and The Hum, management consultancy for organizations without managers. In the conversation, we cover his history and experience with patterns of decentralized organizing picked up from the punk scene and Occupy Wellington in the early 2010s, what he learned from those patterns, and how he co-created new organizational structures that put them into play with his co-founders and fellow workers. This episode will be particularly interesting for listeners who want practical advice on how to organize in DAOs, cooperatives, and other organizational forms that seek to work in non-hierarchical ways, but still get meaningful work done.

Richard Bartlett describes himself as “one of those people with a lot of websites”, and he's right. He's the co-founder of Loomio, a platform for small-scale digital democracy inspired by the 2011 Occupy Movement. He's also co-leader of The Hum, a training & consulting company that supports decentralised organisations to work without domination hierarchies. And he's also the co-director of the Enspiral Foundation, which is a professional network of friends supporting each other to do more meaningful work in the world. And he's the author of a community-building methodology called Microsolidarity. Rich is a fanatical Twitterer, and tells me he is a halfway decent blues guitarist. He grew up in a fundamentalist Christian community in New Zealand and now lives literally as far away as you possibly can, in Lucca, Italy, for reasons that become clearer in our conversation. I haven't met Rich in person yet, although I know him from some work he did earlier this year with SEEDS, the complementary currency. I was impressed with his very practical wisdom, so I was inspired by that interaction to take a course with The Hum, hosted by Rich and his partner, Nati, which was excellent. In this conversation we talk about complex systems, chaos and coherence, nouns and verbs, cultural innoculation, methodologies rather than mission statements, trust, partnership and domination, Riane Eisler and Kim Stanley Robinson, heaven and hell and Christianity, LSD, fear of death, polarisation and harmonisation. What I took away from this conversation was a greater understanding of, well, understanding. In our world it often feels like many people are talking, and not so many are listening. When we really listen, it becomes easier to focus on our similarities rather than our differences, and to tune into the shades of grey between the black and white extremes of polarised discourse. I love the work Rich is doing. It makes me feel hopeful. Just a reminder that our archive of conversations – with Charles Eisenstein, Tim Jackson, Jude Currivan, Bill McKibben, Sharon Blackie, Ted Rau, Paul Hawken, Peggy Liu, John Buck and Monika Megyesi, and Kimberly Carter Gamble are available for free on Spotify, and now also on Apple Podcasts!

Richard D. Bartlett, aka “Rich dB”, has been working in pre-blockchain “DAOs” since the 2011 Occupy Wallstreet Movement. An engineer by training, Rich has merged his problem solving skills with his passion for compassionate, intelligent and inclusive ways of being together. He is the co-founder of Loomio and The Hum, and a director and longstanding member of Enspiral. Rich is rich with thoughts about “small-scale, high-trust cooperative organizing” and is now on a mission to fill in his knowledge gaps about what is happening at the cutting edge of DAO tech in web3. In this episode, Peth picks Rich's brain about pros and cons of decentralized orgs, pros and cons of hierarchical orgs, DAO benefits and drawbacks, common DAO misconceptions and... Wtf even are DAOs?! There is a huge focus on the core values and needs of members within decentralized groups, and how we can use these to create and scale projects. Some of the Topics: Occupy Wallstreet movement Pros/Cons of Hierarchy Scaling of leadership within armies Leadership within decentralized orgs Conflict Transformation & Reflection Trusteless Orgs Voting & Decision Making Processes What makes a DAO? How to create meaningful change Peth & Rich explore a wide range of DAO concepts and perspectives. Rich explains some critical lessons learned from his experiences with decentralized orgs, in particular, the necessity of building and maintaining trust. When conflicts arise, there needs to be a process to resolve them and, better yet, reflect upon them to make organized change for the future. The episode concludes Rich's advice to metagamers to consider “the microscale”. Before completely redesigning society, consider the relationship between just two people: How can you increase mutual trust and support within that relationship?. “Organizations are just a big stack of human relationships,” so what you learn about trust and coordination between individuals can teach you a lot about organizing as a decentralized team.

Social entrepreneur and community innovator Richard D. Bartlett joins Terry to explore the dynamics, challenges and potentials of conscious communities, and the possibility for small-scale social experiments of “micro-solidarity” to scale in a way that meets our global challenges. Richard D. Bartlett is on a mission to help catalyze a more compassionate, intelligent, more co-creative way of working together. In 2012, he co-founded Loomio, a digital tool for deliberation and decision-making in groups, and in 2016, he co-founded The Hum, which advises organizations without managers. Rich is also a Director and longstanding member of Enspiral — a network of people supporting each other for doing meaningful work — and his most recent project is called Microsolidarity, a mutual aid community of peer-to-peer support for people working on personal development. He also writes about how we work together, at any scale, from relationships to organizations to social change. You can follow his insights on Twitter, read his articles on Medium, and access his first book Patterns for Decentralised Organising online (though it’s not finished). Here are some of the questions Richard and Terry discuss in the episode: How might “collective intelligence” or “democracy” processes pervade societies, so that small conversations can more easily become beneficial initiatives? Which community processes and dynamics are most effective in fostering mutual support, shared understanding, and practical action?  How might traditional institutions evolve from dominator relationships to partnership relationships? Can our innovative prototypes scale and influence global organizations? For more information on Richard D.

From Loomio's website about Rich "I have a background in open source hardware (as Rich Decibels) and creative community organising (with Concerned Citizens Collective). I got swept up in the Occupy movement when it arrived in Wellington in 2011. I’ve always been pretty concerned about the so-called ‘wicked problems’ facing society: runaway climate change, resource depletion, ecosystem collapse, and the pervading sense of alienation throughout society… This Occupy experience totally transformed my view on all that – it was the first time I’ve ever really had any hope for the future. My participation in that movement lead me to believe that there’s no problem that can’t be solved by an engaged community of empathetic equals. Occupy totally changed my life, and my hope is that Loomio can make that transformative experience much more sustainable, and accessible to millions of other people."

Avec Digiteal, un simple smartphone suffit pour effectuer tous ses paiements en un clicDans ce troisième podcast, Cédric Nève explique comment il a osé se lancer dans une aventure qui l’a conduit à devenir (presque) banquier. Il a dû s’occuper de factures dans sa société. Et comme tout bon informaticien qui se respecte, il a voulu automatiser et simplifier le processus. C’est ainsi que l’histoire a démarré.Pour celui qui a travaillé quelques années au sein de l’équipe recherche du CEDITI (Gosselies) puis comme développeur d’applications chez Genesis Consult et Oniryx avant d’être consultant en informatique durant 12 ans chez Unisys et au SPF Finances, être entouré de belles personnes est un régal.Car l’homme sait écouter. Et s’inspirer. Calme, posé, il a cette politesse intelligente qu’on prête aux banquiers de grands formats. Et cela tombe bien: avec Digiteal et ses équipes, il a créé en 2015 un outil numérique sécurisé qui offre une solution pour payer facilement ses factures. Ses clients ? Des émetteurs de factures, qu’ils soient petits ou grands. Mais aussi l’utilisateur final (vous par exemple), qui paye des factures. Une grande administration communale wallonne a testé la solution durant un an : en moyenne, 20% des factures sont payées dans l’heure et 95% avant la date d’échéance. Et cette rapidité de paiements rapporte. Il a fait le calcul pour un très gros opérateur de Telecom. Ne pas utiliser Digiteal lui coûte chaque année 47 millions d’euros ! A la réception de leur facture munie du QR code de Digiteal, 1 utilisateur sur 10 a téléchargé l’application. Un taux de conversion énorme pour Digiteal dès le 1er envoi. Et pour chaque nouveau client, Digiteal plante un arbre. C’est aussi cela la valeur ajoutée de la solution, une vision durable : moins de papiers, plus d’arbres.Pour innover sans cesse, Cédric Nève a su s’entourer. Pas seulement de bons techniciens mais aussi de collaborateurs qui jouent le jeu de l’intelligence collective, de la créativité et la responsabilité. C’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles, il ne recrutera pas dans les pays à bas coûts. « Mes collaborateurs, je dois leur parler régulièrement et en face à face ».Des leçons à retenir ? « La première chose qui m’a surpris, c’est que le développement d’un projet prend toujours plus de temps que prévu. Et la seconde, c’est que trouver le bon marché n’est pas si facile ». Vous voulez faire plaisir à Cédric Nève ? Organisez-lui un diner avec le bloggeur Fintech Chris Skinner, le CEO de Belfius, Marc Raisière, l’ex-patronne de Proximus, Dominique Leroy et le slovaque Maroš Šefčovič (chargé du marché unique numérique à titre temporaire à la suite du départ du vice-président Ansip, qui a été élu au Parlement européen).___________________________________________Pour s’inspirer, il vous recommande la lecture de Reinventing organizations, un livre de Frédéric Laloux. Ce coach indépendant, après un parcours de dix ans dans un cabinet international de conseil en stratégie, conseille un certain nombre de dirigeants sur le chemin d’une transformation radicale de leur organisation.Il vous propose aussi d’écouter un autre podcast, le podcast des new workers.Et aussi le blog de Chris Skinner pour les amateurs de Fintech.Et vous propose des outils de management collaboratifs comme Loomio.

If you listen back, Loomio has already come up a few times on this show. It's an open-source civic platform designed to help people make decisions collaboratively, and it's been used by everyone from Pirate Parties to City Councils.  In this episode I met up with with Loomio's Rich Bartlett to discuss the relationship of software to social change -- how platforms like Facebook and Slack embed coded ideas about how people should relate to and interact with each other, and how Loomio is trying to design for new modes of interaction and consensus springing up in and around the social movements.  We discuss how a truly decentralised, horizontally organized society might look and talk through Loomio's attempts to build the software to power it. Finally we talk about how to upgrade what Rich calls our 'cultural operating system'. Where does change really start: with our social organization, with our software or with ourselves?

This is an Interview with Rich Bartlett and Natalia Lombardo, of Loomio and Enspiral, who share their thinking on how small groups can harness the power of emotional and economic #microsolidarity to feel connected and financially secure as they do the often hard and poorly paid work of changing the world. Recently Rich wrote a series of Medium articles packed with brilliant thinking on how small groups can weave together emotional and economic micro solidarity. By creating spaces of belonging and financial security, we build our collective capacity to change the world. In this episode, I interview Rich and his partner Nati who has been instrumental in co-developing these ideas. We unpack the 10,000 word article for those who don't like long reads, and speak with vulnerability about the inner work we've had to do to overcome the engrained individualism that holds groups back.

It’s a conversation that embraces the co-op transformation as a path to a more just and equitable society and a more participatory approach to life overall.Douglas opens the show with a reflection on the limits of both our communication technologies and language itself.

We got introduced after our episode on peer-to-peer tech was out. We thought it would great to talk about decentralisation in the social context, and that's what Rich has a lot of experience in. We talk about benefits and challenges of working in an organisation where responsibility, risk and reward are distributed across members. This is not a technical discussion, this is a conversation about how can a group of anarchists work together towards common goal.

For this week's Team Human, Douglas is out on the road in Austin, Texas where he caught up with longtime friend and cyberculture pioneer, Jon Lebkowsky. Jon and Douglas first look back on the promise of the early cyber revolution, and then look forward to the ways in which those quirky fringe elements might be folded back into the work of promoting justice, solidarity, and even a bit of ambiguity... Whether manifested in platform cooperatives, consensus building tools like Loomio, or in the spirit of Occupy, Lebkowsky and Rushkoff retrieve the thread of radical potential as it has evolved from those early days of the internet.Douglas begins today's show discussing his recent meeting with a group of billionaires whose fears of future social unrest have left them scrambling for apocalypse strategies to protect their wealth and lifestyle.

Playing for Team Human today, master of human connection and consensus, Loomio co-founder Richard Bartlett.Bartett, hailing from New Zealand, stopped by Douglas's home studio while on a community organizing workshop tour of the US. Bartlett and Rushkoff discuss the challenges of building consensus in an all too often top-down, winner-takes all society. Together we'll learn how Loomio, inspired by the general assemblies of Occupy Wall Street, strives to amplify collaborative power and foster more participatory democratic practice. It's a project that starts with small-scale, human-to-human connection and grows outward from there. Rushkoff begins today's episode with a monologue premised on a similar theme. Being human is a "team sport" and the more we cave into the divisive fear of these hostile times, the harder it becomes to "occupy a reality" of mutual care and concern.To learn more about Richard Barlett's work with Loomio visit his blog at http://blog.loomio.org/author/rdbartlett/ Loomio is part of the Enspiral Network.

This week we’re speaking to Loomio co-founder and Enspiral member, Richard Bartlett. In 2011, Richard found himself at the heart of the Occupy movement in Wellington, New Zealand. For the first couple of months, the camp was growing 20% per day, and no one was driving it. Although Occupy ultimately collapsed, Richard, along with some others from the movement, continued to explore how organisations and groups can self-organise at scale. We cover Richard’s own background and feed these ideas back into how software teams can spark change even in the largest companies.
