Johnny Saye, Usually Within Walking Distance of the Problem
A personal site turning failed ventures, professional experiments, soccer, and civic ambitions into an eleven-chapter working philosophy.
Field notes
The homepage organizes Saye’s work around eleven rules extracted from projects that did not work, with a separate planned “Receipts” section intended to document what he did and what changed. Visible evidence includes 600-plus workshops across four continents, a reduction of roughly 300 initiatives to three in two days, and work associated with Navy, Air Force, Army, NYPD, and IBM. The site also identifies St. Petersburg permitting, flooding, and hurricane communications as local problems he is beginning to address.
