Solid convo. As Nate says, a lot to unpack. Hope you get some time to talk with trees and sing to birds today as part of your life raft Nate! Don't wait.
Unfortunately I don't make the time to listen to many of your conversations anymore Nate. Nothing personal but can only handle so much. I had a 2 hour lone car journey to fill and the commenters below really convinced me to take a listen to this one.
Disappointed by the shortness of this conversation, I was left with LOTS of threads that need more unpacking. Please get together with Roman again at the soonest possibility. There's certain guests, that are obvious candidates for further interviews and Roman is an obvious one. One thing I've said quietly to myself constantly over the last couple of years is that I don't do Hope. I've heard many people talk about Active Hope before but it never clicked until this conversation. There are some pretty amazing people doing amazing things, and most of these things are about building relationships, about relearning the strength we have as people, how we can do great things together, despite all the differences that various entities like the media, seem to push. Thank you Nate, Thank you Roman. Will definitely be checking out more of his work.
Nate, This conversation filled me with good vibes. Roman’s enthusiasm is infectious. So many great examples from history Edo , Sortition and the Conversation Lunches . We need more of this - a way to extend the random conversations one has with strangers eg the pleasant convo you have with the cashier that leaves you feeling good. Extend those few minutes by an hour, discussing a deep question with a stranger must lead to community building. And it’d be activism that’s fun! Thanks for all your work Nate. But like Tim says take a break today and go outside.
Some of your recent convos are among your best, Nate, but this one with Roman Krznaric is a standout. I will be reading his new book for sure.

Hey Nate, off-this-topic-in-particular, but oblique to it all, would be interested to hear your take on this:

Haven't finished it yet, but another good conversation!
Suggesting: American Grand Juries are much like a randomly selected citizen assembly.
Now to look for a citizen assembly in Santa Barbara.
