Attention, attention! 😯
Here’s a new episode of the Redefining Society & Technology podcast!
"How to Hack Global Activism with Tech, Music, and Purpose
With Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen | Author of the #book: From Ideas to Impact."
Welcome back to my Musing on Society and Technology newsletter — where I drop new podcast episodes and explore what it means to be human in a hybrid analog-digital society.
This isn’t the place for hype or headline-chasing. It’s about asking better questions and figuring out how technology can serve humanity — not the other way around.
That said, I owe a quick apology to my guest Michael Sheldrick — we recorded this episode a while ago, but life, work, and about 437 browser tabs got in the way. Thank you for your patience, Michael. I hope this helps shine an even brighter spotlight on the incredible work you and the Global Citizen team are doing.
And yes — I’m honored to do the little I can to help promote it. Because this matters.
Global Citizen is proof that you can mix pop culture, #tech, and purpose to drive real change. $40 billion unlocked. A billion lives impacted. All through a movement powered by #music, #activism, and one simple idea:
"Anyone can make a difference — you just have to start."
Michael and I talk about:
The power of #socialmedia and gamified activism
Getting John Legend and Coldplay on board
Using tech tools like #Salesforce, #AI, and translation platforms
Why young people aren’t waiting — and politicians better pay attention
And yes, there’s a bonus chapter coming soon from his book — The #Innovator. You already know I invited him back for that.
