Customer Reviews
Great content, great format
Thanks for putting these episodes together. I love the discussions, the subject matter and the guests.
So good!
Feels like a gift to listen in on these convos amongst visionary practitioners. A world beyond capitalism is possible.
New perspective
The host and guests truly did make an impact on me. Listening to it caused me to gear into a better understanding on the way Boston works. Providing voices to introduce topics surrounding economic democracy does create a more personal need to change the way the community works. Definitely give it a listen :)
