What if the struggle to afford housing, food, and healthcare wasn’t because these things are scarce—but because we’ve been trapped in a system that makes them scarce? Imagine a world where access to what you need isn’t dictated by money but by a community that shares and supports each other.

The Wake Up Call We All Need To Hear About Society with Chris Agnos
In this episode, Joe and Chris explore the complexities of market economies, the illusion of freedom in ownership, and the challenges posed by competition. They discuss how the current system is designed to prioritize profit over community and well-being, leading to ecological and social issues. They discuss the potential for alternative economies and the importance of rebuilding the commons through community-driven initiatives. The conversation also includes some practice steps toward exploring a solution now that could allow people to exist outside of the current market while still being able to participate in the market.
The Hidden Forces Driving Humanity with Chris Agnos
Chris Agnos is the co-founder of Sustainable Human, a non-profit organization dedicated to evolving human consciousness through video storytelling. When Chris became aware of the many crises facing humanity, he discovered that there are hidden forces guiding humanity, both individually and collectively. Those forces are stories. Chris realized that the best way to change the world was to help people become aware of their story and the impact it has on their lives. Along with his wife and co-founder of Sustainable Human, Dawn Agnos, Chris has created hundreds of video stories along the themes of economics, the natural world, human development and trauma. He is currently writing a book entitled The People’s Library, which offers a new economic story for humanity.
