Build For Tomorrow

When Exactly Were "The Good Old Days"?


Listen Later

We like to say that things were better before. But... what year was that, exactly? Join me on a trip through history, as we return to every supposed "golden age" to find out just how golden it was. Then we answer the big question: Is nostalgia useful or harmful, and how do we make people more excited for tomorrow?

This is a full remake of our classic 2016 episode, now with lots more insights and history!
