Show Notes
Radical advice on rethinking success, individualism, and the American dream.
Mia Birdsong is a pathfinder, culture change visionary, and futurist. She is the founding Executive Director of Next River, a think tank and culture change lab for interconnected freedom. In her book How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community, Mia maps swaths of community life, and points us toward the promise of our collective vitality.
In this episode we talk about:
- How to build community
- What it looks like in her own life
- Mutuality vs reciprocity
- How to work with resentment and rejection
- The etymological connection between friendship and freedom
- The transformative power of asking for help
- And why she thinks the idea of bootstrapping—or going it alone—is a kind of self-hatred
