"The Art of Influence: Hacking the Social System with Ethical Social Engineering," will delve into how individuals can ethically leverage influence and financial strategies to navigate and impact the U.S. social system.

The session will explore the following core concepts, including:
* Ethical Social Engineering: We will examine the framework of ethical social engineering, emphasizing its use for positive change and community building, rather than manipulation or harm. The session will highlight the importance of transparency, accountability, and understanding the intent and impact of actions.
* The Art of Making a Decision: Participants will learn how decisions, from simple choices to life-changing ones, impact various stakeholders. We will discuss strategies for making informed decisions and becoming an effective "decider" when it matters most.
* The Almighty Dollar: This segment will analyze currency as a tangible form of money and an intangible system of value. We will explore the fluctuating nature of currency and its role within the social system.
* It’s All a Pyramid Scheme: Drawing parallels to the Tower of Babel, this section will discuss how individuals and organizations operate within hierarchical structures and how influence can be built and leveraged to grow one's "pyramid" for collective benefit. We will explore how to identify risks and assets within these systems and the importance of fostering self-worth and community pride through skills sharing and experiential learning.
* Storyteller Energy: The session will emphasize the power of "storyteller energy" as the communal currency of humanity. Attendees will learn how to harness this energy to create positive change and build a more equitable world where nature and technology coexist. This concept aligns with The Hive Social Garden's mission to disrupt power-based violence through online community care and education.

This session aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to understand and ethically "hack" the U.S. social system, fostering sustainable communities and contributing to a more just and inclusive future, one family and community at a time.
