Sapien Team Meeting — 2026-06-15 (Readout)

1. Decisions

decision	who	date
Events at Sapien must remain PRIVATE for now — Mackenze: "public events with our organization are not covered under his [Brian's] commercial insurance. We were operating under his lease."; Allen: get our own insurance and he'd be fine; Jay: "Only going to do events for our PMA" (PMA = 508(c)(a) from 5/4)	Mackenze / Jay / Poly	2026-06-15
Public-promotion workaround: "advertising publicly, but when they come here, they become members" (Jay); PMA events must be member-notified only (no public notice) — "Anything we do not own is public" (Allen); Zaza's membership portal (Mautic, mautic.l484.com) = the legal member-notification database	Jay / Allen / Mackenze	2026-06-15
NOSTR is a core marketing channel: Daniel (intern) to become a NOSTR expert (learn NOSTR, set up account, master the apps — "that's going to be a big part of our marketing"); Daniel's two-prong project = master NOSTR + one to-do-list task/week with weekly report	Poly / Jay	2026-06-15
Intro to Sovereign Tech workshop (Jenelle's presentation): recurring monthly, anyone can give it, used at any event we create or attend; Jay to create a park event on Partiful (can't do it at Sapien — public); "can't do it this week. Next week" (Jenelle)	Jenelle / Jay	2026-06-15
3-avatar intro script (Jenelle) for explaining bootcamps to prospects — shared in Nextcloud; "we don't talk about Fight Club" energy ends	Jenelle	2026-06-15
Signs program: Jen + Jay draft sign requests → Poly (has the memes) → Janelle prints → Jen laminates (10-min/day discussion cadence proposed by Jay)	Jen / Jay / Poly / Janelle	2026-06-15
Lighting & sound changes require checking with Jen first (her drapery system); possible "domain" for drapery/lighting/sound (Steph to help scope); Jay orders + installs lighting, takes it down if disliked	Jen / Jay	2026-06-15
Dawei's tai chi promotion: observed unsuccessful ("Didn't put enough time into making flyers and promoting") — no retry decided	Jay	2026-06-15
Hardware outreach campaign: Jay calls/texts people met at events + CRM list (jailbreak their stuff, invite in); Tom assists; Jenelle invited	Jay / Tom	2026-06-15
Brian's music career takes priority — Brian (intern) "on hold"; Daniel becomes the active intern	Jay	2026-06-15
Food-truck plan (Mackenze): front parking for 1-3 food trucks (the "anything baked potato" guy — switched to tallow/ghee, bought 20lbs at Radius; former-NBA-player cousin does pitmaster/brass); gated on: trim palm, move dumpster, double-size dumpster (4 yards, Waste Management), move bus; Waste Mgmt only deals with Brian / needs proof of ownership → Jay becomes authorized user via Brian	Mackenze / Jay / Brian	2026-06-15
Sapien Center sale + lease transition: Brian wants a "Sapien Center sale" (art + other stuff); need to find out what he'll sell vs keep; when lease transitions, inventory ownership must be clarified (he technically owns it; we take over lease, he subleases; "he will pay us for continuing to do events"); everything back there/upstairs comes out the moment the lease is signed	Mackenze / Jay	2026-06-15
Outdoor weatherproof AP (not indoor AP in a box — thermal/UV): Allen to propose; router box already went out (on the fence → house wifi)	Allen / Jay	2026-06-15
Investor pitches for Poly: Jay drafting; will post in group chat for everyone's reference/reuse	Jay	2026-06-15
Noderunner shop: wall racks + sales corner when the bench moves ("Divine Provisions"/Radius space); Asif's website progressing; waiting on Adam Harrison to remove furniture (he built some interior structures and wants them)	Mackenze / Asif	2026-06-15
Enterprise IT company: Jenelle + Poly building the "who we serve, why we're different" outline (started 2 hrs before meeting; more in 24h)	Jenelle / Poly	2026-06-15
VitaTech machine: Jay (lead technician) to call Collette (was in her car an hour ago) about continued use; "she has a big network she's working on bringing here"	Jay / Collette	2026-06-15
Desks: half a dozen unused at Indra's; surplus "dirt cheap"; more space when Adam Harrison's pieces go	Mackenze / Jen	2026-06-15
Investor introductions: everyone → Poly (standing action)	team	2026-06-15

Cross-check vs 06-DECISIONS:

• ⚠️ Reframes 5/4 "Sapien = event venue" → 6/15: public events barred by insurance; model narrows to private + PMA member events until our own insurance exists.
• Consistent with 6/8 (NOSTR push — 6/15 assigns the expert role; Tai Chi follow-through shows the 6/8 plan under-delivered).
• Consistent with 5/29 + 6/1 (Jay's graph/CRM outreach; shop furniture relocation pending Adam Harrison).
• ⚠️ Tension with 5/18 "plunges dead" — not referenced this meeting; Brian (music) is the plunge-fixer candidate from 6/8 and is now on hold, so the plunge fix likely stalls.
• "Enclave" name referenced as the rejected prior name (6/22: "better than Enclave") — the naming thread continues.

3. Project Links

• Sapien (existing) → private-events pivot + signs + food trucks + transition plan
• Noderunner shop (existing candidate) → sales corner, website (Asif), furniture block
• Enterprise IT company (existing candidate) → differentiation outline (Jenelle/Poly)
• Decentralized Distribution — not mentioned this meeting
• Fast Friends — candidate venue for Intro to Sovereign Tech (Jay prefers no-permission parks)
• Indra's — desks + the "another world" vibe (referenced; becomes the 6/22 design north star)
• Radius / "Divine Provisions" — the space the shop sales corner is going into
• Cedar Creek — infrastructure contact (Jenelle's)
• Dada Labs — Austin festival-setup firm (concrete/metal sculptures + equipment); contact exists, "no capital currently"
• Club Nowhere — massive warehouse Trash Panda invested in; Jay became friends with the team (10 hours)
• DayBreak ATX — Jenelle's friend is a producer
• Mautic / Zaza's membership portal (mautic.l484.com) — the PMA compliance database
• Keynctr (keynctr 1) — not mentioned; NOSTR work (Avi's domain per 6/8) now owned by intern Daniel

4. Knowledge

• Insurance is the event gate: under Brian's lease, public events aren't covered by his commercial insurance; options = own insurance (Allen: "he would be fine with") or PMA-only private events.
• PMA mechanics (Mackenze): "to legally abide as PMA, we have to have our own database of members, notify them directly about events. Can't do it publicly. They have to sign up to get notified."
• Jay on PMA + promotion: "Whether or not technically true — with PMA — if we're promoting it at all, it's technically not a PMA thing to do. Any public notice is not technically legal."
• NOSTR = "a big part of our marketing" (Poly, ×2).
• Daniel: 18, found by Asif, 5 visits in, "trying to figure out what project he can do"; candidates: Jenelle + enterprise, vending-machine software, bus-area cleanup (Jenelle: "Maybe that's the project for Daniel").
• Brian: "on hold. He's busy with music career taking off."
• Jay is in Arizona taking care of his sick mom; Apollo covering some (coffee, tacos); the bus is "an eye sore" but "we're not booting him out."
• Waste Management: "They'll only talk to Brian and will only switch the account when we have a lease"; proof of ownership required; Jay "gave up on waste management; Brian told me to call."
• Tool shed: moved into the backyard, parts left there; big yellow envelope with instructions + small box of parts left on a table in the other house ("probably buried").
• Bus: can't move until fence comes down; grass under/behind it unreachable; outside is the city's grass.
• Mackenze on the bus: "We love him, got to do something with it." (Bus = Jay's.)
• Brian's exit economics: "when he starts subleasing… he will pay us for continuing to do events. We have to switch positions."
• Dada Labs: "Internationally acclaimed at setting up for festivals"; concrete + metal sculptures; "no capital for these things currently, but touch point exists."
• Club Nowhere: "massive warehouse that Trash Panda invested in."
• Lindsey: "took the weekend off, supposed to come in today or tomorrow"; plan = events (infiltrate + find members) + digital marketing (IG, TikTok, short videos, organic).
• Noderunner shop: Asif "got good progress on the website"; list of sellable things; list of events to pitch at; "building blocks for selling."
• Drapery system (Jen) is the constraint for lighting/sound.
• Cedar Creek: contact who "helps build infrastructure"; "AV wizard… it's expensive."
• Adam Harrison built some of the interior structures; wants them when it opens up.
• "Decentralize is happening" (Poly) — Decentralize events continue (private).
• Futo — referenced (meetups, per 6/1).

5. Troubleshooting

• Public events blocked by insurance — fix: our own commercial insurance (owner TBD) or PMA-only; Mautic portal as the compliance database.
• Dawei tai chi under-promoted — root cause: no time spent on flyers/promo; no fix decided (the 6/8 ticketing plan apparently under-executed).
• Bus/eyesore + storage — no place to store stuff ("The stuff outside the bus is not in there on purpose"); tool-shed rebuild needs the yellow-envelope instructions; mowing blocked (grass under bus).
• Waste Mgmt account — stuck on Brian/ownership; Jay to become authorized user.
• Furniture blocking shop — Adam Harrison removal pending.
• Interns aimless — fixed with the two-prong NOSTR + weekly task structure (Daniel).
• Lindsey idle — "needs to come in and get to work"; Jay to sit down with her.
• Marketing "Fight Club" opacity — 3-avatar script + shared presentation fix the "what do you guys do here" problem.

6. Open Questions

• Who buys our own commercial event insurance? (Allen's option — no owner)
• Will Brian sell vs keep (which items)? When does the lease transition happen?
• What's the inventory-ownership legal path (he owns it; we sublease him)?
• Where are the tool-shed instructions (yellow envelope)?
• What exactly is the "domain" for drapery/lighting/sound (Steph)?
• Is the VitaTech machine staying or going to Jan (Collette: "Jan said we would touch base, and we haven't yet")?
• What does the enterprise company actually sell (Jenelle's outline, 24h)?
• Who's the third food-truck operator (the guy "has one, and a couple friends")?

7. Gaps

• Insurance: no owner, no budget, no date — it gates all public events.
• Adam Harrison furniture move: no date.
• Waste Mgmt authorization: depends on a drop-in visit to Brian ("if you want to drop in his house this week") — no date.
• Lindsey's plan: no written plan yet.
• Tool-shed instructions: location unknown.
• Food-truck operator: name not captured (only "the anything baked potato guy").
• No landlord/lease update this meeting either (Mackenze: "Messaged Daniel today already for lease updates, no updates") — Daniel = the landlord's contact (first named as the lease counterparty).

8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)

1. None directly assigned. Avi is not mentioned in 6/15.
2. Adjacent [INFERRED]: the NOSTR expert role went to Daniel (intern), but Avi remains the named NOSTR/Graphene authority (6/8) — offering to be Daniel's mentor keeps the channel open and is the lowest-friction way into the Sapien marketing workstream.
3. Adjacent: the PMA-compliance + Mautic member-notification stack and the insurance gap are both system/ops problems that match Keynctr-type work; no explicit ask.

Email Summary

6/15 tightened Sapien's event posture: under Brian's lease, public events aren't covered by his commercial insurance, so events at Sapien stay private/PMA-only until the lab buys its own coverage — with Zaza's Mautic portal (mautic.l484.com) as the compliant member-notification database, and "advertising publicly, then converting to members" as the growth path. Jenelle's "Intro to Sovereign Tech" presentation becomes a monthly workshop anyone can give (first one: a Partiful park event next week), her 3-avatar pitch script lands in Nextcloud, and a signs program (Jen + Jay → Poly's memes → Janelle prints → Jen laminates) gets a 10-minutes-a-day cadence. Interns get structure: Daniel (18, Asif's find) becomes the NOSTR expert plus one to-do task a week, while Brian is on hold for his music career. On the physical side: lighting/sound changes now require a drapery check with Jen, an outdoor weatherproof AP replaces the fence box, and the food-truck plan (1-3 trucks in the front lot) is queued behind the lease, the dumpster upgrade, and Brian's Waste Mgmt authorization.
