Sara and Holly are talking about the history of “against-ism,” how it shows up in the world today, and also how it’s not productive or moving us forward. They share some ideas on how you can be a “For-ist” instead of an “Against-ist” and how it actually doesn’t change what you stand for, but can absolutely change the impact you have in your world.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Sasquatch music festival 2009 - guy starts dance party [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA8z7f7a2Pk] This is a public episode.
