Episode description

What if cities are the greatest opportunity we have to redesign the rules we live by? On this episode of the Podcast we speak with Pia Mancini, co-founder of Democracy Earth and Open Collective. Pia is an activist, technologist and serial impact entrepreneur working at the intersection of technology and policy making. Pia speaks with us about how we can reorganize how we govern so we are not bound by old rules tied to the places we are born and how decentralizing funding gives us the agility to do the work we love.
