Introducing What Could Go Right?

If the news has you convinced that everything is falling apart, check out the What Could Go Right podcast from the Progress Network. I think many of you will enjoy this show because it explores politics, economics, science, and technology with a smart, balanced perspective, without the usual doom and outrage. Longtime listeners of the Jordan Harbinger show will know I love hearing from experts with different global perspectives. So a What Could Go Right episode that immediately jumped out to me. was the one titled Why the Experts Were Wrong About India, which examines how India lifted hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty while also making remarkable progress in clean energy, technology, and access to basic services, all done in a balanced way without glossing over the challenges that remain.

Here's a quick trailer from the hosts, Zachary and Emma, so you can get a feel for their voices. Why is it that we spend so much time trying to figure out what could go wrong and not nearly as much time trying to figure out what could go right? I looked at all of the doomsday prognostications and including my own and realized actually none of them had come to pass. And I started thinking, well, what happened? Why not?
