Why Survivor, Why Now? (David vs. Goliath)
Today marks the launch of the new podcast from New Fundamentals!
The real difference between a strategy and a tactic is the secret to winning every campaign. Join strategist Claire & advocate Tykee as they break down power using reality TV and world events!
Welcome to Outwit, Outplay, Outorganize! This podcast is for campaigners, citizen organizers, policy wonks, and anyone who wants to stop screaming at the news and start building real power.
Hosts Claire Douglass (Strategist/Campaigner) and Tykee James (Organizer/Policy Advocate) are sick of seeing the words “strategy” and “tactic” used wrong. So, they’re using the ultimate social experiment—Survivor—to fix it.
In our first episode, we dive into the core campaign metaphor: David vs. Goliath. Most people get this story wrong—it wasn’t luck, it was brilliant strategy. We break down the historical fight and map the lessons onto real-life campaigns and global conflicts.
In this Episode, Learn the New Fundamentals of Power:
* Why Survivor uniquely combines a social experiment and a master class on strategy and power.
* The actual weapons used in the Biblical “David vs. Goliath” fight, and why David was an elite tactical unit who changed the terms of the fight.
* How real campaigns win by changing the terms of the fight instead of playing by the opposition’s rules.
* The lessons from the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain and how “local trust” can shift the war, even if you lose the battle.
* How Ukraine resisted the Russian invasion by fighting propaganda with narrative and using compassion as a weapon.
* Your Power Move: Do a “Goliath Audit” to identify your opposition’s weakness and define your own asymmetrical “sling”.
