Ben: We put our outreach plan for GaiasHeartbeat on hold; how do we decide when it's time to start it up again?
How do we measure whether Holacracy is the right choice for how to cope with a potential influx of new members?
Eric: Can we afford to buy ads at the moment, given the Sanders aren't currently tithing much?
Eric: Do we really think there would be enough new people that we couldn't handle it?
Ben: We don't know, although without ads, the video is doing very poorly in terms of number of YouTube views

Eric … good to have you as company on my way home
Ben … glad that we are meeting again, I was a little paranoid that SolSeed had just disappeared
Brandon … glad to be going again, and I look forward to more and next time
