Episode Notes

Organizer and facilitator Yotam Marom joins host May Boeve to unpack the living legacy of Occupy Wall Street. They trace the decade of uprisings that followed, why “feeling powerful” changes strategy, and how movements succeed when they choose priorities. Yotam shares lessons from the Wildfire Project, the role of storytelling and irreverence in mass moments, and why healthy groups run toward generative conflict to make real choices.
