Don't let them win
Even well meaning billionaires are taking the world in the wrong direction, let's correct it
What Diary of a CEO is getting wrong, below, but first, let’s check in with the campaign!

$7,963 / $67,000

Cast your vote for as little as $1 and then share with your friends!
I spent four years of studying narrative change, culture science, and systems theory.
I am one of a tiny number of people who have gained the visibility and narrative strategy to help lead this transition into an economy that serves all life – so that billionaires and corrupted people in power aren’t the ones who win.
So it’s all of us who win.
Community wealth literally rewires wealth and power.
And the world needs to know.
The solutions are right here.
They’re you. They’re us.
With every regenerative project you start, everything that connects us to people and place.
Most just can’t see them.
We need the people supported who can win this narrative gap and point people toward economic power and our projects.
We need us supported so we can help get YOUR story out into the world.
Did you see this episode btw?
People like Nick Hanauer mean well.
And they’re correct on the diagnosis – but not the solution.
Recently on Diary of a CEO he, Steven Bartlett, and Daniel Priestley were all talking about solving wealth inequality by asking RICH people!
That’s a bit like gathering a group of able bodied people to solve disabled peoples’ crises!
We -must- get this message to go mainstream or they’ll continue to point to the wrong solutions.
Humanity has a chance.
But it depends on stories of people building a future that works for all life actually getting told.
Here’s a map of the visibility gap, which you’ll be hearing more about soon. It’s the result of over four years of research and critical to the change that we need.
Help me make this change.
If I can make Scottish parliament while homeless given just six weeks with a roof and some support, imagine what I can do with stability for more than a day or weeks at a time.
I struggle to write this today, because the heat inside the car, cramped, all the noises going past it at night, roaring engines, means I’ve been running on chronic sleep deprivation.
I love my car, it’s a gift that was also crowdfunded and I’m ever grateful for — it’s gotten me a massive step up.
But I need another step now.
I’ve barely got anything left in the tank.
I cant’ spend anything else on emergency hotels (even if I had it, which I don’t because the crowdfunder funds don’t come in immediately!), its’ not a long term solution, and it just gives me a tease of a breath before I go back to drowning.
But I can make a video viral once when I get six weeks of rest. And if I could just make consistent GOOD videos?
Oh it’s game over for the old paradigm!
Help me get funded and we can create the new economy in the same time it took Thomas Paine’s common sense to work 250 years ago.
Is there something holding you back from helping? Please let me know.
”Backing her crowdfunder is not charity. It is one of the highest-leverage bets you can make on the transition actually happening.“

And if you can pitch in even $1 we’re playing a bit of a game right now. Just pop your movement in when you pitch in $1 or more. Movement with the most votes gets to be featured in our first feature piece of media and voters will have input in what gets highlighted in the mini film!
Standings?
It’s tied between Land Back and Rehumanization!
See all 300+ movements including coops, open source, wellbeing economy, degrowth and more and then:
And if you can’t help financially right now that’s actually great because what helps way beyond that is sharing this share the video share the crowd funder with just three other people.
The reason my viral video in January Got more than five million views?
One person told me to post it to instagram and they shared it with their network there.
Is there a network or community you could share this with?
