''This was a session at the [[Shiny Green Acorn Festival]].''

* [[Ben]]
== Discussion ==
Brandon divides [[unconventional people]] into two categories:
* Preconventional: People who never made it in the mainstream world
** They offer time and energy, but not conventional wisdom or financial resources
*** Ben: But they might have other types of wisdom
* Postconventional: People who have been successful in the mainstream and know how to go back to it if needed
** They offer wisdom about working with the mainstream, resources, ''and'' time and energy if they no longer have mainstream jobs
* Brandon: There are many more preconventionals than postconventionals
** Ben: There may be more disaffected middle-class people, looking for ways to live differently from their mainstream lives, than you think
