2 powerful letters from the future, looking back on 2 very different journeys over the decade to 2030, precipitated by crucial decisions taken in 2020. Let’s embrace their “hindsight” as a wonderful thing, & write the better version of history. 🙏 @RedButton2020 @TheLongCrisis

Some of us from RS, among many others, were privileged to be part of the Red Button Club's first conversations. We rambled at times, but the club has distilled some very wise words from all our inputs.
