In Episode 28, I am excited to share my interview with Michael Gast. Mike has spent 20+ years organizing wealthy people like himself to invest not only their dollars but really their whole selves into creating an economy and social contract that works for everyone.  

Through the writing and conversations that he puts out into the world as director of a multimedia project called “Organize the Rich”, Mike invites progressives/changemakers/do-gooders (read: all people who want to create a more just, equitable, and humane economy and society) to see beyond

• the myth that nonprofits are THE WAY to changethe world   

• the allure of the American individual upwardmobility journey

• the idea that organizing/being organized is the sole responsibility of working class

• the taboo of talking about money and socialclass.
