"There's a record low of Americans that are satisfied with the way democracy is working. That's 28% currently, and it was 35% after the January 6th Capitol Riot, 3 years ago." - Mike examines societal challenges, highlighting the need for a shift in thinking and action.

[Why This Is Important] - It's crucial to understand the implications of societal discontent and the need for change. The main message is to become a person worth listening to, so you can actively contribute to creating a sustainable, regenerative future. This episode carries the powerful message of how living in harmony with nature and embracing regenerative economics can bring about positive change.

[What you need to know.] - Listeners need to know about the dissatisfaction with the functioning of democracy, the impact of media narratives on societal beliefs, and the potential for uniting around common goals for a sustainable future that respects nature and community.

[What you need to do.] - Engage in self-reflection about how you are contributing to your community and civil society. Educate yourself about the systems and mechanisms that influence society and understand the unsolved problems that need to be addressed. Look beyond ideologies and engage in real conversations about system mechanics and solutions for the future.

[TAKE ACTION] Do this now - Take the first step to educate yourself about the mechanics of societal systems and the ways in which you can contribute positively to your community and wider society.
