—Systemic change begins with personal change—
This guest was a manager at a major corporation. The corporation is a household name. The manager prefers to remain anonymous.
People who work at fossil fuel companies are people just like you and me. When you buy what the industry sells, you support it too. You rationalize and justify that your money supports lobbyists, advertising, extraction, pollution, depletion, making refugees, dictators, and so on. Want to stop people working there? I suggest it helps to understand them. We can start by understanding ourselves. Stopping ourselves from supporting that industry is easier than stopping them, so I recommend starting with ourselves. Note: we recorded this episode a few years ago, before I fully developed the Spodek Method.
