What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak?

What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

Ordinary voters try to explain how democracy works in their country. Do voters in other countries have more trust, a greater sense of involvement, and more hope in their country's future? If so, can we get some of that over here in the US? Listen along as Mary interviews two ordinary citizens from the same country about how they vote, why they do (or don't) trust their politicians, and what they believe goes into making a strong democracy.

“I think that it’s not always understood that the ultimate day-to-day working of elections, like on the ground, facilitating, making sure somebody can vote, is done by your neighbors.” In this last episode of the season, on Democracy in the United States, Nicola Sharratt describes her experiences as an election worker in Fulton County in Georgia, we debate just how pervasive corruption is in US civic and political life, and the impact of guns on college campuses. Nicola provides a fascinating perspective on life and democracy in the US, given her experiences as both a duel-citizen, and an archaeologist with an 800 year perspective on how societies deal with conflict and inequality. What Democracy Looks Like In... is a podcast where ordinary voters explain how democracy works in their countries. In each episode an emigrant voter and a voter currently on the ground describe their lived experiences of democracy, of voting, and of trust versus corruption in their home country.

“Our biggest flaw as a nation, which resulted to us never really attaining independence or democracy, is that, somehow we have a flawed sense of nationalism. We are very family oriented as people, but the thing is, we value our family more than our country.” Revisit this conversation from June 2024 on Democracy in The Philippines. Jackline and Jabs introduce me to a county that has survived waves of colonial occupation, military coups, a dictatorship, and intractable family dynasties. Our conversations about the role of violence and personal sacrifice in political struggles seem especially prescient, given recent events.

“Oh, boy, the corruption. Even people who go and vote, whether they believe, whether they are skeptical a bit like me; they can still say it doesn't matter. Not because my vote doesn't matter but because eventually, when have we ever heard of a politician who had a promise that they kept?” In Jun 2024, following the European Parliamentary Elections, I interviewed Federica Bressan and Piero Q.P. Carlucci about What Democracy Looks Like In Italy . Revisit this conversation on corruption, proportional representation, and alternative ways of cooperative democratic organization in Italian society that continue despite the breakdown in trust in national-level politics.

“If you have money, then you are in politics. In India the same thing happens. People in money come to politics and they think that they have to they spend money to win elections, and then they think their job is to take that money back.” In this re-visited interview on What Democracy Looks Like In India from Sep 2022 , Father and daughter Venkat and Vidhya demonstrate a generational shift in how democracy is perceived in India today. We talk about famous political dynasties, whether being a politician should be a full-time job, and the significance (or not) of religion in Indian politics. This is the full version of the interview, including part two that was never published back in 2022 because of (chaotic!) events in my personal life at the time that caused the podcast to go on hiatus for a while.

“If you're part of this generation, there’s a training that many of us got just because we were young in that moment in history. The way we think about politics and the way we do politics is completely different. We were making important decisions and participating [in national politics] when we were 13, 14 years old.” Revisit a conversation from Sep 2022 on Democracy in Chile, with Paloma Contreras and Rodrigo Retamal, in which we compare how people as young as 14 are taken seriously as political actors in Chile versus the US. Also, why making progress in society through major, transformative legislation is is difficult for many people to accept - may even feel traumatic - even when it’s in their best interests.

“How can we talk about Mexico being a democracy if you don't have the basic right to walk around freely secured in all the country, for example, and also to vote securely?…. How can you report on news and how can we have free speech in a country where journalists are killed every day?” Revisit this conversation from Aug 2022 about What Democracy Looks Like in Mexico, with Brenda Lopez and David Palma. My guests describe the challenge to democracy posed by drug cartels that pour money into neglected local communities while also meting out brutal violence. Also the difference between Federalism in the US versus Mexico, and questions about immigration that seem even more relevant in 2024.

“I find it hard to get too angry about the Monarchy partly because it seems SO miserable. You might be really rich but… You know the reason you were born. You never have to ask what “Why was I even born?”. You were born to be part of the apparatus of state. Your only purpose is to exist and have babies.” This week I am re-releasing all the interviews from this podcast in their full-length versions. This is in preparation for the last episode of the season, an interview with anthropologist Nicola Sharratt on Democracy in the United States. Look out for that interview, coming later in December 2024. So here we are returning right back to the beginning! To the pilot episode on Democracy in the UK with John Leighton and Nicola Sharratt (yes, the same!) recorded in July 2022 . A time when Queen Elizabeth was still alive and Boris Johnson was still relevant. Was that only two years ago? This episode features discussion of certain quirky little features of British political life, such as the Monarchy and the Monster Raving Loony party. But also topics that became regular themes on the podcast. Such as, what is considered an “acceptable” level of corruption in politics, versus a scandalous amount? And who are the non-obvious political actors? Here we talk about the role of Student Unions, for instance.

“There was hope for our country. And then it hit like a meteor. All the bad politicians starting popping up and they are winning out of nowhere.” What does democracy in The Philippines look like today? Jackline and Jabs introduce me to a county that has survived waves of colonial occupation, military coups, a dictatorship, and intractable family dynasties. But in 2016 it was hit by a then underestimated threat to democracy: Facebook. This is Part one of two episodes on The Philippines.

“As Lebonese we love our culture very much. It’s our politicians who are always trying to divide us.” Lebanon has unfortunately dominated the news this week for all the wrong reasons. To help those of us abroad try to understand a little of the context, I decided to republish the lively, informative, and often hilarious conversation I had with Lebanese expat Toufic Sarieddine back at the beginning of August 2024. In this bonus version you can hear the full interview in one episode. My conversation with Toufic covered everything from what Hezbollah is and what it's doing in Lebanon anyway, the political quota system that is meant to promote religious harmony but ends up entrenching family dynasties, why Lebanon should really be an atheist country, and the power of charisma. Oh, and listen out for a first on this podcast... an argument *against* democracy. What Democracy Looks Like In... is a podcast where ordinary voters explain how democracy works in their country.

In Part 2 we talk 'Christian washing,' and irregularities at the polls that go as far as violent intimidation of voters and destroying ballots. Additionally, in contrast to discussions of gender in other countries featured on this podcast Toufic Sarieddine describes how a kind of "cheeky bad boy" machoism might actually increase tolerance of corruption.

Recorded as war looms, I get to ask some really basic questions like "what is Hezbollah anyway?" and "Isn't having two competing armies in your country a bit problematic?" I also learn about "confessionalism" - a quota system where political positions are assigned by religious affiliation. And in this lively and revealing interview with Toufic Sarieddine , a member of the Lebanese diaspora, we get a first for the podcast: a guest who presents the case against democracy! This is part one of two episodes on Lebanon. The second half of the interview will be posted shortly.

A special one-off episode covering the UK's July 4, 2024 General Election. Mary catches up with John, a guest from our first show on Democracy in the UK, to learn how ordinary people on the ground are feeling about the Conservative Party's massive defeat at the Polls. We explain some basics about why this election was so significant, and find out whether it brings a feeling of hope or increases trust in the democratic system. Plus John and Mary discuss the difference between competence (actually getting stuff done that matters) versus made up culture wars (insulting our trans kids). Aren't we all longing for some refreshingly boring competence in our democracy? What Democracy Looks Like In... is a podcast where ordinary voters explain how democracy works in their countries.
