About this Podcast:
Mighty Forces is the podcast for people who give a damn — about other people, about the state of our world, and about prying this one wild and precious life from the jaws of fascism, white supremacy, and automated customer service menus. We'll go deep, and we'll get stupid, because the best conversations do both. In each episode, host and story coach Amanda Hirsch chats with smart, funny artists and activists, healers, teachers, and entrepreneurs, plus folks doing super cool work that defies easy job titles. You’ll leave each episode feeling lighter, less burdened, and with enough optimism in the tank to last at least seven to ten seconds.
