11:10:43 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	Jon’s example is a clear real-world example of practical uses for the ABT.

	Matthew Winkler - what makes a hero?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhk4N9A0oCA
11:32:48 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I'd recommend you watch it to the end - the last half of the video talks about how the hero's journey is a model for your daily life.
11:33:43 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The ABT Blue Card:  http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ABT_3_steps.pdf
11:34:25 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	We want everyone adding feedback for the ABT Builds today!  Remember, this is brainstorming - even if you're not sure about your idea, add it anyway, it might spark an idea for someone else.
11:35:48 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Why should we care about this?  What’s at stake?
11:35:54 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Try to participate and add as many comments as you can - it'll give you good practice for your Working Circles.
11:36:08 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	Thinking about your audience - does everyone know what a sucker is?
11:36:47 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Switch blue and red
11:36:51 From  Joe Gerken  to  Everyone:
	flip red and blue
11:37:00 From  Joe Gerken  to  Everyone:
	Mike beat me to it!
11:37:09 From  Joe Hennessy  to  Everyone:
	Problem = nuisance insects have increased  Also relateable to more people than just fish people
11:37:25 From  Phoebe Woodworth-Jefcoats  to  Everyone:
	I was thinking the same thing, swap the and and the but
11:37:43 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	We have something that's great, but it's numbers are decreasing, therefore we need to increase it.
11:37:43 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	Heaven = suckers keep insect numbers down.  Less bugs is always heavenly 🙂
11:37:55 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	If you didn’t immediately see what Randy is talking about, i.e. blue contains problem, that’s ok.  With practice you’ll get better.
11:38:22 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Proximate goal:  managing the insect populations
11:38:35 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Notice that proximate goal is at the very, very end of this ABT.
11:39:03 From  Autumn (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	So...have these consistently switched blue/red? And where does that consistency come from?
11:39:04 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	Sucker population decreasing…
11:39:17 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	You can argue the proximate goal is the most important part of the ABT - it's your piece of the puzzle to make the world a better place.  If it's that important, don't put it at the very end - promote it from the very beginning!
11:39:31 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	undesired aquatic insects are increasing
11:39:57 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	That's why I'm always advocating that you identify your proximate goal first thing to make sure you're not burying it at the end.
11:40:37 From  Albertha (no audio)  to  Everyone:
	Why is the source of the problem?
11:40:53 From  Albertha (no audio)  to  Everyone:
	What is the source of the problem?
11:41:38 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Problem-solution dynamic.  Once you id the problem make sure your solution  is actionable and solves the problem.
11:41:47 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	So is the proximate goal decreasing insects or increasing suckers?
11:44:03 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	EBSA
11:44:09 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	protecting Belcher Islands
11:44:23 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	is it protected against climate change ?
11:45:01 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Mike/Dylan - I think you're both right for the proximate goal.
11:45:40 From  Albertha (no audio)  to  Everyone:
	Is eider duck population a tourist attraction? Why is it important?
11:47:55 From  Albertha (no audio)  to  Everyone:
	Lack of knowledge
11:48:00 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	And what would the research solve?
11:48:20 From  Autumn (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	research funding is needed to establish ebsas?
11:49:23 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	I see overarching issue is species survival in a changing world - ducks and islands are just the specifics.
11:51:15 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Here's the excerpt from "Houston, We Have a Narrative" about the 3 forms of the ABT.  I'd recommend you read it and get familiar with the cABT (conversational ABT):  http://www.storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/THE-3-FORMS-OF-THE-ABT.pdf
11:51:43 From  Albertha (no audio)  to  Everyone:
	Informational ABT
11:51:59 From  peter  to  Everyone:
	lack of education
11:52:04 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	is it important to know who the educational materials are aimed at ?
11:52:28 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The proximate goal is the action that moves you closer to your ultimate goal.
11:52:45 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	IF people were educated about native ranges CT trout THEN they would understand need protect key habitat.
11:53:42 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	@Matt - great way to think about the proximate goal
11:56:11 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	We have this important thing, but people don’t understand it, therefore we need to educate people.
11:59:08 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	So the ABT needs to identify the problem - but does it need to identify the hero, or is that for latter?
12:00:08 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Dylan - sometimes you have to take the idea of hero non-literally.  A "hero" can be a process, a practice, a group, or a goal.
12:00:37 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	thanks
12:00:50 From  Julia Singer  to  Everyone:
	Great, thank you!
12:00:53 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	Lots of info to digest!
12:00:59 From  Albertha (no audio)  to  Everyone:
	Bye
