We sit down with Joe Martino of Collective Evolution to discuss global narratives and the importance of critical thinking in navigating today's complex media landscape. He reflects on his journey from the early days of Collective Evolution and his rise in the alternative media landscape. The conversation also touches on the impact of technology, polarization, and the role of fear in shaping public discourse, culminating in insights from the Trucker Convoy and generational perspectives on media engagement. We run through the evolution of independent media, the impact of censorship, and the where things are headed. He reflects on the psychological effects of COVID-19 and the importance of nuance in media discussions.
