I published my book, Locally Grown: The Art of Sustainable Government, in October 2019 thinking that I was at the forefront of a movement to restore America’s bottom-up constitutional design and its power to make government more responsive, holistic and sustainable. Silly me. I discovered a couple months ago that Charles Marohn has been turning grassroots principals into real action with his Strong Towns organization for more than a decade. This is one of my favorite interviews with someone who is a true kindred spirit. Our bottom-up movement just got a helluva lot stronger now that Locally Grown and Small Towns have discovered each other. Don’t miss this thought provoking conversation that will get you thinking about how to get involved in your own community to counter the crazy top-down thinking that has infected our country.
