@charitychaste: #TBT Only 96 hours in Aspen—and every minute was worth it. As a Creator Fellow @Concorde.app, I had the honor of attending Aspen Ideas: Health 2025, hosted by the Aspen Institute on its stunning Bauhaus-designed campus. What I thought would be a quick summit turned into a deep reset, a reframing of how I think about health, innovation, and community. Huge thanks to the Aspen Ideas media team—especially Eric and Jon—for the invitation and support, and to all the underwriters who made this unique gathering possible. Aspen reminded me: when bold ideas meet intentional people, real transformation follows. Here are a few moments I’ll never forget: 🟡 Free skin health screening courtesy of Mount Sinai—a small action with big impact, showing how accessible diagnostics can reshape preventive care. 🟡 Meeting Fareed Zakaria, Walter Isaacson, and hearing from leaders like Dr. Uché Blackstock (her “equity vital sign” idea lives rent-free in my brain). 🟡 A moving conversation on community-based care led by Takeda, and the urgent call to “Follow the Money” by Methodist Healthcare Ministries—reminding us that equity must be more than a talking point. 🟡 The XX Factor, presented by Catalyst by Wellstar, called out the gaps in women’s health and demanded founder-led innovation. For once, this wasn’t a panel—it was a priority. 🟡 Cultural impact was everywhere—from hip hop and public health with Doug E. Fresh and Dr. Olajide Williams, to a $10M gift from Lynda and Stewart Resnick for arts and equity via the new Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies. 🟡 Connecting with Bezos Scholars—13 incredible teams of high school students and educators from the U.S. and Africa—was a masterclass in next-gen brilliance. 🟡 Late-night talks with media fellows. Long walks between sessions. And the quiet comfort of staying with Pam & John, two strangers who became family when I needed it most. Key takeaway? Innovation isn’t just about AI and access—it’s about trust, community, and the courage to ask better questions. As I return to my work with Concorde.app, I’m doubling down on the idea that every moment—every connection—deserves meaningful follow-up. Inspired at Aspen. Built for Every Room Where the Future Is Made. Bonus: We’re gearing up to launch Concorde live on stage—hopefully at an event near you. Because here’s the truth: Events don’t end when the mic drops. That’s when the real work begins. If you’ve ever walked away from a conference, pitch, or policy summit thinking, “We should follow up on that…”—Concorde is built for that moment. For turning handshakes into high-value outcomes. For making sure momentum doesn't die in the inbox. Want to be in the room when Concorde launches? DM me or comment below: What’s one event where follow-up fails—and what would it mean to finally fix it? Let’s build the post-event economy together.
