VIDEO MODULES
The BRIDGE Explainer
A good place to start. This video outlines the nine aspects of The BRIDGE.
Along this pathway of The BRIDGE, three areas of society are explored
- Aikido Economics explores economic potential
- Coordinated Effort explores community / collaborative potential
- Wakie Wakie explores individual human potential
All of this is done by running various social and business initiatives. Without actually doing anything different we’d just end up perpetuating the same toxic systems experienced in world today.
And The BRIDGE isn’t only theory, we didn’t just come up with a good idea for others to go try, we literally practice what we preach, which gives us practical, real-time feedback to further refine and share the model; along with credibility and accountability.
For example, Skid Markz are locally owned businesses practicing all aspects of The BRIDGE, while giving operators a viable income.
The B-Team spends significant time honing our interpersonal skills while exchanging findings from our various business projects practicing The BRIDGE.
And the Monkey Wrenches book is not just a resource to help people along their personal development (spiritual) journey, it also utilizes Metabolism to distribute money and is the second (of four now!) businesses within Activate Us’ Cascade.
So, as you watch the video modules, know that the information is not only theoretical. It is being practiced right now in a number of towns and it can happen in your community too!
The BRIDGE Overview
The concept of The BRIDGE from
a bird’s eye view.
SUGGESTION: watch these modules intuitively and from twenty years in the future. Some of the concepts are somewhat abstract and may be difficult to imagine having only known competitive forms of society.
More VIDEO MODULES
Community Plan
Outlining best practices on how to implement The BRIDGE within your community and what it would mean to the average household.
Metabolism
Based on how energy is distributed within the human body, Metabolism is how The BRIDGE distributes money within a community. This module also begins connecting dots between various aspects of The BRIDGE.
Connecting the Dots
Starting to make connections between various aspect of The BRIDGE
Aikido Economics
Like pulling the ole’ switcharoo on capitalism, Aikido Economics increases standards of living on the way to societal abundance and individual sovereignty. Or as Michael Tellinger says: “using the tools of enslavement as the tools of liberation”.
The Cascade
How a network of businesses can unfold within a community and how that system can bring us to a more evolved type of society.
Training Workbook
So, you’ve surfed the website and watched the video modules. You’re pickin’ up what we’re puttin’ down and want to dive deeper into key aspects of The BRIDGE. Terrific! The BRIDGE Training Workbook is for you.
We’ve created a thoughtful workbook that will help bring specific aspects, as well as various nuance, of The BRIDGE into focus. Certainly, this workbook can be completed individually but it was designed as a group initiative – practicing collaborative techniques and confronting personal challenges as a team.
Each person should have their own workbook to document interpretations and the subtler aspects of The BRIDGE so please contact us for bulk pricing.
And remember, The B-Team is an available resource for your community as you begin your journey across The BRIDGE!

GLOSSARY of TERMS
Aikido Economics™
Unlocking financial wealth previously siphoned off by the shareholder model. Rather than swimming up the proverbial stream Aikido Economics harnesses the momentum of our current Finance Based Economy to not only reclaim worker control but also increase standards of living along the way.
Worker Owned
Rerouting ownership and decision making back to the workforce. The Co-operative business structure is the essence.
Accounting Switch
A simple reordering to the accounting process that accelerates the above rerouting. This is an adaptation of the commission payment structure
Pay with Product
Drastically reducing business expense by eliminating the majority of costs associated with packaging, shipping, inventory, sales, advertising, spoilage, and other inefficiencies. At this point the acceleration of the rerouting of money and ownership back to the workforce becomes exponential. This in an adaptation of the “pro deal”
Coordinated Effort
An interdependent network of resources and innovation with the purpose of supporting a common goal. Think of the world network of commerce as we have it today…now swap competition for collaboration.
Cascade
A three dimensional map showing linkages between businesses and how they support and rely upon one another. An evolutionary leap in community strategic planning
Metabolism
Modeled after energy distribution among the cells within a human body, Metabolism is how money is distributed among individuals within a community
Self Organizing
Adopting the “Teal” philosophy of self management, organizations are receptive, nimble, agile and can easily adapt to external changes without the use of hierarchy or central control. All in all creating an extremely resilient organization and never losing focus on the people
Wakie Wakie
Where Aikido Economics addresses the logistical systems of society and the Coordinated Effort addresses interpersonal connections, Wakie Wakie looks at the individual – the basis of the previous two sections. Wakie Wakie will no doubt, be challenging to some people’s perceived limits, but after all, what is an evolved society but enlightened people getting along to manage collective well being.
Monkey Wrenches
A place for disrupting conventional thinking. Here we highlight common occurrences that happen all around us and look at them from different perspectives and through different filters. The purpose is simply to help dismantle the layers of stagnation and acceptance we’ve all accumulated throughout our lifetimes.
Human Mechanism
Learning and practicing your full capacity as a human and applying these skills to social and personal development.
Intuition
The final aspect of The BRIDGE, which simultaneously guides every aspect before it, is the ability to tune into the more subtle energies and “listen” to information flowing at higher frequencies. It is your ability to tune into your higher self as a source of insight. Also known as “gut feelings,” intuition is like a whisper, arising holistically and quickly, without conscious mental processing of information.
