Hey there, Molly here. Im glad you found your way here and I am excited for our journey together. I decided a month ago I wanted to create this podcast to empower power to take action and to do it in a smart, balanced and compassionate manner. I don’t think any of us need any more evidence of what’s happening, the new cycle is giving us all PTSD and I spend half my day disassociating because of it. I’m only half kidding. One moment I am angry, the next hopeful, the next scared, you see where I am going with this. I started to have cold feet until my incident last week at the Miami airport where I was detained, questioned, searched and punished by unidentified agents at the American Airlines gate.

Some of you are probably following me now because of that story and how viral it has gone, but a lot of you have known me for years and know that this isn’t a new thing for me. I was indoctrinated by Behold a Pale Horse and Zeitgeist, don’t laugh, but I was radicalized by watching Eric Garner die on camera and take his last breath, because he was selling cigarettes. I spent a lot of years protesting, organizing, and learning about allyship and got it wrong, a lot. So, if you are looking for perfection you will be sadly disappointed. I sway more towards stand up comedy than highly educated and I learned from living, it’t not always pretty. Never, actually.

Having said all that, the goal of this podcast is to use my resources to talk to the people who ARE educated, experience, verified, etc to figure out what we should do next. Its not an anti anything podcast, its about the path forward. A path that I hope is filled with love, compassion and boots on the fucking ground. I can feel what is at risk and I’m terrified. Us Americans have had it really easy for a lot of years. I don’t want things to go back to how they were, do not misunderstand me. However, if you grew up in America like I did, you never had a war on your soil. So many of our global neighbors have not been so lucky. If you think that the collapse isn’t possible, look around the world. We can fight this though, one person at a time, one conversation at a time, one act of resistance at a time.

My goal is to create a harbor of truth and empowerment for you to find your path in the revolution. We all resist differently, we have different experiences and different things to protect. What I did at the Miami airport was a touch reckless, according to my therapist, but it wasn’t illegal. I was in a position to take that risk, so please know I will never judge anyone for how they show up. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, I made that choice. I want you to use my story to shed light on whats happening and hopefully, with any luck and your help, this podcast will help us create a playbook.

I am going to personally cover the costs of the podcast production and some paid media. I have also created this Substack and 100% of the donations/memberships etc will go to paid ads. What does that mean? It means that the podcast will show up everywhere online and we will grow the audience rapidly. We can get actionable tools to the citizens of the world very quickly. Between people sharing it organically and the paid media, we can blow this up.

It’s not about me, its about the information. I want the podcast episodes to be guides for you to navigate this new world order. Easy to search, easy to share and empowering AF.

If you want to help, I will take it. Substack experts, clearly I am not, please hit me up.

Like Bob says,

“Rise up fallen fighters
Rise and take your stance, again
'Tis he who fights and run away
Live to fight another day”

Thank you for your time, we got this!

Molly
