How do you gain political power? By helping your neighbors! Eitan Hersh, author of Politics Is For Power, elucidates how so many of us who think we are politically well-informed and engaged are actually political hobbyists, and may be exacerbating the problems we're trying to fix. This episode is a playbook for anyone who wants to get off the couch and social media and start working on pragmatic solutions with real actions, while building a network and a working system that will lead to the systemic transformation we need.
