Outrage + Optimism

This week, we prepare for mass civil disobedience with the International Rebellion beginning Monday, October 7th. We get on the line with Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and hear her explain the shared human experience behind mass civil disobedience, and finding ourselves in deeper purpose through grief and suffering. We may or may not also bring up a few other light topics like ceremonial ayahuasca, spiral dynamics, and Suffragettes.

It's been a busy week at the UNGA! We signed The Climate Pledge with Jeff Bezos from Amazon, saw world leaders stepping up their climate ambition, heard Greta Thunberg's scathing speech, and even had time to fire up the ol' anti-echo machine. Later in the episode we catch a few minutes with Sir Richard Branson, the man behind Virgin. We get into the green innovations he is working on, and discuss his bigger vision on how airline travel becomes sustainable.
