What does a world outside of endless, destructive economic growth look like — and how do we get there? How do we break through the virtual monopoly that right-leaning media has on America’s eyes and ears? 

In this episode, Michael Mezzatesta unpacks effective progressive storytelling tactics, post-growth economics, gives his take on tech "broligarchs,” and offers a hopeful vision for transforming our current economic paradigm. We delve into: 

• How storytellers can get creative to reach the audiences that need to hear them and shift cultural narratives 
• Challenging tech billionaires' detached visions of future human existence
• Degrowth and post-growth as alternative economic frameworks that prioritize community and sustainability
• Michael's concrete advice for listeners on finding their climate superpowers

Michael Mezzatesta is an online educator using social media to spread ideas for a better future. His fast-paced, informative videos on Instagram and TikTok present sustainability through the lenses of economics and finance. By explaining the systemic nature of social problems – from climate change to inequality – and advocating for genuine solutions, Michael encourages people to imagine how the future could be better.
