Episode 1073

---

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
