In this diverse and innovative space, we facilitate a highly collaborative, open-minded conversation diving into the issues our society faces today, while being sure to bring corresponding resolution to the forefront . We’re here to address the problems whilst collaborating on visionary solutions, as our increasingly interdependent yet fractured global society struggles through intersecting crises in these unparalleled times of change. The monetary system is at the heart of our society. It touches everything in our lives, it dictates who lives and dies. We believe a bright future for humanity is one without currency. Society is collapsing before our eyes, and there has never been a more vital or exciting opportunity to both come together for the sake of forestalling the end of human life as we know it, while also recreating life on earth as we know it.

"Every war of trade becomes a war of blood" -Eugene Debbs
The establishment offers you a trade: you give up your life to generate it’s profit, and in exchange you get a ruined & unlivable biosphere. Sound fair? In this episode we enlist the help of moneyless icon, Colin Turner, founder of Sharebay.org, to dig into the roots of competitive advantage and profit seeking within the mechanics of trade-- how it is no longer necessary or beneficial, and how millions of transactions that leverage advantage over time in constant accumulation have created the massive monopolies that control the world today. We discuss alternatives to trade in systems of sharing, open access, cooperatives, and the sense of meaning and purpose that comes from a voluntary and socially connected way of life beyond transactional advantage. We ask and answers some very big questions in this episode, going deep into the structure of our modes of exchange, the ways that inequality and collapse are built right into capitalism, and why money's got to go.
