From Flipside to the Future - George Paap

George Paap, a pioneer of the Burning Man Regional network, talks with Andie Grace. He founded Burning Flipside in Texas, the first-ever Burning Man sanctioned event beyond the desert. What inspired him? Black Rock City 1997. He found freedom there, and it sparked a lifelong mission. Hear his adventures of building a culture from scratch, and why, as a futurist, he believes Burners are steady & ready to handle the societal shifts ahead. Collaborating to create local community without a blueprint Celebrating Burning Man culture is a backstop for a polarized world Finding resilience under pressure in the art of radical integrity "Don't wait. You have to jump in and do it. You can't wait for something to happen. You’ve gotta provide the motivation... the inspiration... the vision, and bring people along." — George Paap BURNING MAN LIVE ON YOUTUBE www.burningflipside.com burningman.org/global-events-groups www.trippingly.net/burning-man-musings/tag/George+Paap   LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
