Timothy Allen talks with Peter Young.
So, how can I sum up the last 100 episodes? Well, it's been a phenomenal journey for me, which has taken me all over the world, meeting exceptional people who are really pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the market of living together.
Of course, I feel very fortunate to have had this opportunity to learn out loud about all this stuff, and thankful that you've been able to come along with me for the ride. Before I started this podcast, governance wasn't high on my list of interests, but as the months have gone by, I've realised that it's one of the most important aspects of the freedom that we're all searching for in the world. Also, one of the aspects that is often at the heart of conflict and dispute.
If only it were as simple as 'live and let live'… but we all know that it's not and never will be, so we carry on discussing, building, and creating parallel systems into which people can voluntarily opt in.
There are no utopias in the future, there's no end to this road, but right now, what there is in our present is a world in which you can choose to work on a project that you believe in, a project that you can offer up to your fellow humans to join in or not, and then after that, and I've said this many times before, it's just a case of turning up each day and putting in the work.
Never forget, you get to work on what I believe are the most interesting projects on the planet at this particular and incredible time in history. And I, for one, am extremely grateful for the opportunity.
So here's to another 100 episodes of this podcast and to all the future pioneers I'll be talking to over the next two years. I salute you! And I've loved hanging out with you all.
What a time to be alive!
Enjoy the conversation.
