Inspired by a book by Priya Parker, Pete and Jen noodle on the idea of how to begin the leading of a gathering, and how that beginning might affect the rest of the experience.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

• Why might it be best not to start a funeral with logistics?
• Why is context imporant, when thinking about a beginning?
• What are some specific tactics and tools for beginning a workshop, class, or keynote?
