Mitchell and Sam, colleagues and good friends, both share a passion for Participatory Democracy. As a result, this is the third or fourth interview MItchell has done with Sam over the course of the past decade plus. His book Reclaiming Our Democracy's latest version was just released in January, 2024. Here's a little bio. on Sam: Sam Daley-Harris founded RESULTS, an international citizens’ lobby dedicated to creating the political will to end poverty in 1980, the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 1995, and in 2012 Daley-Harris founded the Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation to help organizations more deeply engage their supporters and create champions in Congress and the media for their cause. The Microcredit Summit Campaign surpassed its initial goal of reaching 100 million of the world’s poorest families with microloans in 2007. It was that same year that Daley-Harris began coaching Citizens’ Climate Lobby founder Marshall Saunders prior to the launch of Citizens’ Climate Lobby. Daley-Harris is author of Reclaiming Our Democracy: Healing the Break between People and Government, about which Jimmy Carter said, “[Daley-Harris] provides a road map for global involvement in planning a better future.” The 20th anniversary edition was released in 2013. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus said: “….no other organization has been as critical a partner in seeing to it that microcredit is used as a tool to eradicate poverty and empower women than RESULTS and the Microcredit Summit Campaign.” And Ashoka founder Bill Drayton wrote, “Sam Daley-Harris is one of the certified great social entrepreneurs of the last decades. After building RESULTS, he is the person more than anyone else who has brought microcredit into focus across the world and precipitated action.” Daley-Harris has degrees in music, played percussion instruments in the Miami Philharmonic, and is a songwriter.

Most people instinctively know that the mind and body are really one 'system' but act as though the mind is "here" and the body "there." But that's not the case. They are truly a sign, constantly interacting system. Thoughts are influencing the way the body functions, and the body is influencing the way thoughts and feelings function. Getting a grasp of this concept, 'body as metaphor', is incredibly empowering and can actually save lives and prevent illnesses, accidents, injuries, and more. In this interview, Mitchell and Inna speak of this special relationship and illuminate it for the audience.

Mitchell interviews award-winning author, sustainability consultant, attorney and wide-ranging entrepreneur, Carl Frankel. His careers have been connected by a common theme—writing. In the 1980s, he ran a boutique market research company that focused on the commercial implications of new technologies. He then concentrated on business and sustainability for the next two decades. During that time, he published a newsletter on green consumerism, served as North American editor for a magazine on corporate sustainability (and the lack thereof), consulted with non-profits and corporations, and became a nationally-known thought leader. He also launched and ran a community-based social enterprise, Our Community Networks. Since 2009, Frankel’s primary focus has been on sex and relationships. He runs the Intimate Arts Center (formerly known as Sheri Winston’s Intimate Arts Center), which offers online sex education for adults and publishes books on sex and relationships through its imprint, Mango Garden Press. He conceived the notion of Erotopia, a land where people have a healthy relationship with sex, pleasure and connection, in the early 2000s. He began writing it in 2013 and finished it in 2019. Frankel started playing tennis at seven years old, supported himself as a teaching pro in Europe and the United States during his twenties, and continues to play at a high level, with great love and respect for the game. Frankel is a graduate of Columbia Law School and a member of the New York State bar. He abandoned law in his 20s to become a writer.
