In this episode of The Divergence Room, Tom Joseph joins us for a deep conversation about democracy, technology, power, and the future of civic participation. As the founder of America’s Main Street Party and Bookminders, Tom shares how his experience in business and innovation led him toward building a new model for election reform — one designed to reduce the influence of money and give ordinary citizens a stronger voice. We explore broken systems, political disillusionment, leadership, human behavior, and whether technology can help rebuild trust in democracy.
