Welcome to The Ember Walk, a daily reflection where curiosity meets motion. Each short episode invites you to walk, think, and craft with intention. Join David Dysart as he explores the lessons of The Forge, including heat, patience, rhythm, and care. All through stories and insights from the world of enrollment and beyond. Step into the quiet work of building something that lasts.
Automation is fire. It’s powerful, efficient, and most of all… indifferent. It’ll heat the metal or melt the smith if you’re careless.
We love to automate because it feels like progress. But every automation replaces a human action, and with it, a moment of tone, empathy, or pause. That doesn’t make it wrong. It just means the craft has to evolve.
In The Forge, automation isn’t delegation. It’s design. You’re still responsible for the behavior you create, even if you never press send again.
Here’s your tool: every time you automate something, write down the human quality it replaces — patience, warmth, curiosity — and build one intentional moment elsewhere in your process to restore it. Otherwise, your forge will hum beautifully and still go cold.
You’re walking The Ember Walk. The forge is yours now. Go make something worth the heat.
