Rainn Wilson — Build Something As An Alternative To What You’re Protesting
OR YOU CAN LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, or Google Podcasts
We’re bringing back and oldie but a goodie! My 10th podcast conversation — 131 podcast episodes ago — was with my friend Rainn Wilson. Since we met 3 years ago, Rainn has been so kind to help me and Let’s Give A Damn out in several really key and kind ways. I love Rainn, his wife Holiday, and the many ways they give a damn.
In this conversation, Rainn gives us so much wisdom. Among other important things, he talks about building something as an alternative to what you’re protesting. This is a huge point, friends. Slacktivism is the name of the game for so many today. It’s so easy to sit on a couch, yell, and scream at others that don’t agree with us. That’s not activism. That’s not giving a damn. That’s not getting shit done. That’s easy. The hard stuff is pointing out the problem and them building an alternative. Or pointing out the problem and, at the very least, being part of the solution.
There is so much more gold in our conversation! This one is worth a re-listen.
