Recent Interactions​

  • April 2, 2025: Meeting to discuss personal updates, current vision & projects, and potential collaboration areas.
  • April 3, 2025: Follow-up conversation exploring organizational dynamics, coordination mechanisms, and system change frameworks. Discussed views on decentralized governance structures, new coordination mechanisms, and the concept of the Benevolent Authoritarian Organization (BAO).
  • May 5, 2025: Call with Gary Sheng. Discussed the rapid developments within the Alpha ecosystem, Gary's emerging "super HR" / "delegated CEO" role, and the opportunity to create a successor to the World Economic Forum (WEF) / Davos. Key points:
    • Confirmed Joe Liemandt's funding philosophy: logical, high-conviction bets on exceptional talent and world-changing ideas, willingness to pay top dollar, but prefers minimal social interaction (approving via strong proposals).
    • Brainstormed the concept of a "Davos for consciousness" or "Davos for people who act" – a highly curated, action-biased gathering focused on prototyping and civilizational redesign.
    • Anastasia expressed strong interest and capability in leading this initiative, leveraging her network (including potentially hiring former WEF talent).
    • Discussed the strategic approach of proposing a 30-day retainer for Anastasia's team to develop a detailed WEF successor proposal, leveraging Gary's "hack" for getting Joe's approval via logic-driven documents.
    • Explored the potential for this new WEF to serve as a business development engine for Alpha Schools, connecting with education ministers and global leaders.
    • Shared vision for creating massive societal impact and personal wealth generation through building new civilizational infrastructure (e.g., new cities like "Trump City," trillion-dollar funds like "America 2.0 Fund").
    • Discussed the critical importance of personal integrity and operating with discretion ("stealth mode") for leaders undertaking such ambitious projects.
    • Agreed on next step: Anastasia to deliver a detailed proposal/bio demonstrating her unique qualifications to lead the WEF successor project.
