Our guests are leaders in business, government, non-profits and civil society, who are making progress on some of society’s hardest problems, like poverty, disease, innovation, environmental protection, and education.

Society's deepest divisions come from the virtual world: social media, online and cable news, and the pundit class. It’s easy to oversimplify, misinform, and demonize people when we’re trying to sell a narrative and get clicks. But when we’re working to get things done in the real world, reality keeps us honest. In other words, when we're more grounded, we're less divided. Our guests' stories show us how much we can accomplish if we’re willing to learn from each other, work hard, and work together. <br/><br/><a href="https://guidedcivicrevival.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">guidedcivicrevival.substack.com</a>]]></description><link>https://guidedcivicrevival.substack.com/podcast</link><generator>Substack</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 22:54:39 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/1768286.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><author><![CDATA[Matt Burgess]]></author><copyright><![CDATA[Matt Burgess]]></copyright><language><![CDATA[en]]></language><webMaster><![CDATA[guidedcivicrevival@substack.com]]></webMaster><itunes:new-feed-url>https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/1768286.rss</itunes:new-feed-url><itunes:author>Matt Burgess</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Looking to the future with respect for the preciousness and fragility of a free, open, and advanced society.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:type>episodic</itunes:type><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Matt Burgess</itunes:name><itunes:email>guidedcivicrevival@substack.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:category text="Business"/><itunes:category text="Education"/><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/1768286/35347b3e4e91e977e78daf4f1f752b8b.jpg"/></channel></rss>
