The Fixerpunk Podcast
Bridging the divide between personal and social change. Punk rock, anti-authoritarian self-help, political, and social issues perspectives. Showing people and communities how to create their own solutions in their own lives that work with their reality instead of denying it. This in turn can impact society by empowering leaders in mutual aid and building dual power. As a former political organization leader, Greyson brings the wisdom of “fixers” who work for the powerful to the masses along with ideas from creative cultures and sports to build a better person and society for the common person.

AEW is a social movement in the sport of pro wrestling, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Adam Page are its main founders. CM Punk came in and changes started to happen, some of which seemed to be outside of the core values of the movement, and an old personal dispute popped up again out of nowhere in response to an attempt by Page to re-center the movement in its values. CM Punk relied on a style of business that is very conventio...

I explain how the CM Punk and Adam Page feud as well as Punk’s heel turn are driven by differences in ethical approaches as it comes to leadership as well as the lessons from this story for cultural and social movement leaders. Adam Page sticks by his values and the true culture of his movement, not by the culture of the good old boy’s club or how things have always been done, does what is right regardless of allegiances, and he is...

On this episode, I discuss the failure of Build Back Better, the disconnect between Democrats and average voters, and how a more courageous progressive approach rather than being caught up in what voters can perceive as technicalities can help Democrats at the polls in 2022.
Key points:
- Politicians should show what they can do when they are in office. “Show them your finishing move,” even if you fail at it.

In order to change the system or advocate and build a better life for yourself, you need to understand not only the rules of your society’s social and political system but also its underlying principles. The rules that are set up in law or in customs, and even sometimes the popular sense of morality, are secondary to these principles and how aligned a rule is with this power shows you how strong or weak it is. Knowing this principl...
