You Need To Take Geographic Granularity Seriously Ep62

Have you considered the power that lies in heavily niching down by geography? As in, go hyper local, and then geographically niche some more.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the mistakes I've observed by social change projects diluting their impact by spreading too broad. You might get followers by casting a broad net in the beginning, but you won't get the serious and measurable change you want to see from real humans doing real things *off* the internet.

The keys to change lie in starting by seeing what you can change in your immediate location, and then once you've done it, try and replicate it. That is how social movements that built into tipping points are built.
