Ep. 195 - How to Use Politics to Change the World with Neil Thanedar

If politics has started to feel like nothing but noise, this conversation offers a different way in.

Entrepreneur, investor, and author Neil Thanedar joins me to talk about his new book Positive Politics. We discuss why politics, messy as it is, is still one of our most powerful tools to create lasting social change. We unpack why negative politics dominates our attention, what positive politics looks like in practice, and how changemakers can get involved without burning out. From supporting a local issue to influencing a bill or stepping into leadership, there are more entry points than many people realize. Neil also shares his long-term vision for a "Y Combinator for politics" style accelerator that helps ambitious optimists move from caring to building real solutions, faster.

If you care about the future, feel disillusioned by the status quo, and want a more grounded path from frustration to action, this episode is for you.
