Guy #1 is the crazy dude who starts dancing, alone, at the outdoor concert. He’s on the hillside, doing his thing. Guy #2 is brave and supportive. He joins in and starts dancing. But it’s Guy #3 that changes the dynamic. His presence makes it safe for people 4, 5, 6, and 7 to join in. And now, sitting still is more socially risky than getting up. So people 8 through 20 arrive. And now it’s a movement. We spend a lot of time glorifying Guy #1. But the real work is to see time. To acknowledge that nothing happens all at once. Guy #3 is the one we need to focus on.
