The Power of Ideas - The Trailer

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH with Blake Melnick

We are all acutely aware of the stark polarization in our world; We have begun to lose faith In our political, social and economic systems. Our belief that our democracy can provide adequately for our citizens, is fraying at the edges.
We have lost the art of open minded discourse and it would seem that we no longer value perspectives different from our own - Cancel culture, negative labelling; distortion of the truth has prevented all voices from being heard and has splintered our citizenry around political lines
What if, instead of fighting and trying to prove the illegitimacy of each other’s political opinions, diverse groups of citizens came together to envision and then create the kind of democratic system we all want? is that even possible?
My guest for the next episode of #ForWhatitsWorthwithBlakeMelnick and our series, #TheManyFacesofInnovation week is Dr. Ruth Backstrom, author, speaker, and acclaimed educator who is an expert in facilitation methods that foster deeper conversations.
Dr. Backstrom's new book, IGNITING A BOLD NEW DEMOCRACY: Empowering Citizens Through Game-Changing Reforms, seeks to address this question,using historical events, policy and specific legislation to trace how we arrived at our current state and then provides us with a way forward …For What it’s Worth
The music for this episode, "How Come I Gotta" is written and performed by our current artist in residence, #DouglasCameron
