Hey friends, thanks for tuning in today. I hope you are well wherever you are in the

world. This is Chris Gilebo, your host of Sideosal School. Today we're going to hear a question

from Teresa in Omaha. She is passionate about democracy. She's an activist and she's

looking to inspire others to become more active in their local government. You know, often

when we think about politics and creating change, you know, whatever your beliefs are, whatever

you're passionate about. We often think about like these big federal things or international

stuff, you know, foreign relations. And really if you want to create change, like the

most obvious place and perhaps the most impactful place is, you know, in your local government

on the city council or, you know, just going to meetings and such. You know, some people

do that and a lot of people don't, right? Like most people are very uninvolved. So Teresa's

idea, it's one part mission, you know, philosophy, vision and another part, side hustle, which

I love. I respect. It's always cool to see like, you know, how can we find a mash up there?

If there is a good mash up to be found, sometimes there's not. But her idea is to sell a democracy

and action subscription using historical stories to get people excited about creating change

today. But she's stuck on figuring out the best way to execute her idea. Often in these

situations, you're like, okay, here's the problem that bothers me. I want to do something

about it. But what is the best solution? What is the best? And then when it comes to business,

you know, what is the best offer? How do I monetize this or create a commercial package of some

kind around this vision? So I love challenges like this. We're going to hear a quick shout out

to our sponsor. Thank you so much sponsors. Thank you listeners. Really appreciate you. And

then we're going to hear directly from Teresa.
