Beat the Big Guys provides valuable information!

I’ve listened to several of Sandy’s podcasts and have enjoyed them very much! Life can be a struggle so learning about what others have done to succeed can be very valuable.

Collective change

We need to find ways of coming together, uniting, and radically altering the ways we have been dominated by the big guys (whatever that is for you). This does start with collective action, and Sandy is shedding light on this key function. Thank you, Sandy and folks behind the production of Beat The Big Guys!!

Important conversations

Grassroots campaigns and the people behind them are the only way our society can manage to compete with corporations, lobbyists and those motivated only by extraction and profit. We need to hear their stories, learn from them and take action!
