Rethinking Success | Mia Birdsong

Rethinking Success | Mia Birdsong

New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.

---

Radical advice on rethinking success, individualism, and the American dream.

Mia Birdsong is a pathfinder, culture change visionary, and futurist. She is the founding Executive Director of Next River, a think tank and culture change lab for interconnected freedom. In her book How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community, Mia maps swaths of community life and points us toward the promise of our collective vitality.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to build community
  • What it looks like in her own life
  • Mutuality vs reciprocity
  • How to work with resentment and rejection
  • The etymological connection between friendship and freedom
  • The transformative power of asking for help
  • And why she thinks the idea of bootstrapping—or going it alone—is a kind of self-hatred
