The Ever-Changing World - with Dan McCrory
This week, Taylor embarks upon an adventure in the company of writer, Dan McCrory, about his journey through life in the company of words - the power of words themselves, and their impact upon life and history, how technology and automation are causing a rapid evolution in the world as we know it, and the impact of the class system and the way it is shifting across the planet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
'I find myself really moving towards the things that connect us - the things we do find quite magically sometimes'
'I realised just how much of what I went through is still relevant to the next generation'
'Technology is going to change the basic conversation'
'There's a vanishing middle-class in the US and UK, but there's also a burgeoning, growing one in places like China'
'There is an inequity in what a school in the inner city will give as far as funds, as opposed to a school in the suburbs, and we need to even that out'
'People are hoarders and that's a very natural human trait. The way we deal with it is to have robust oversight'

ABOUT THE GUEST
Dan McCrory has done every kind of writing imaginable: advertising, public relations, stories, magazine, articles and books. Last year he was published in the 2020 anthology of California’s Best Emerging Poets and his book, ‘Capitalism Killed the Middle Class: 25 Ways the System is Rigged Against You’ was a finalist for the Page Turner Awards.
Dan is a longtime labor leader who has run for political office and remains a delegate to the California Democratic Party. After a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease six years ago, he wrote ‘You Will Forever Be My Always,’ a novel about salvation and redemption. He is the president of the LA chapter of the AT&T Pioneers, a charitable organisation that works with veterans, kids and the homeless in a variety of ways. He also is a community advisory board member of his local PBS station.
ABOUT THE HOST
Taylor Roark is the founder of Galliant Trainings, which guides and facilitates individuals and organisations in Creative Purpose.
He has worked variously as a school bus driver, a blacksmith, a Wall Street lawyer and a developer of offshore wind farms. He has lived on 3 continents, travelled to more than 50 countries and currently resides in London, England.
Taylor is a keen cyclist, an amateur photographer, an alchemical writer, a weekend DJ and a Taoist at heart. He chooses to live life as a mythical adventure.
“The adventure you seek in life is yourself!”
