I tell a story about making bugger all money but feeling filthy rich, before being joined by the incredible Linda Cockburn (pronounced “Co’burn” cos it’s Scottish) who explains why Capitalism is a death cult, and ways to crowd it out with reciprocity.

🪶 Going six months without spending a dollar.

🪶 How to grow your own toilet paper!

🪶 Will politicians ever “solve” climate change?

🪶 Why you can’t question capitalism

🪶 How the growth imperative works

🪶 Changing the narrative through language

🪶 The debt treadmill for “developing” nations

🪶 The closest thing we’ve had to utopia in human history!

🪶 Old and new indigeneity through storytelling

🪶 Hitting bodily limits

🪶 How to get owwwfff the hamster wheel

🪶 Riches without an income
