The Jim Rough Show

Society's Breakthrough! by Jim Rough describes a deep systems change that would positively affect nearly any issue that can be named. The Jim Rough Show is a 30-minute community-access TV show that demonstrates how this can be. Usually, Jim is interviewed by a guest host, someone who is deeply concerned about a particular problem in society, like the economy, heath care, or war. He or she challenges Jim on how the Wisdom Council could transform this issue.
