Yes! The Imagine 2050 podcast is here. It’s a simple beginning for a wonderful project and I look forward to growing right along-side all of you.

This week we are at the screening of a documentary film in San Francisco. The film, Calavera Highway, is a deeply touching movie that follows a Mexican-American family as its seven brothers’ grapple with identifying their history and who they are – all the while transporting the ashes of their recently deceased mother to her final resting place.

I thought this would be a great place to start our conversation on “What does it mean to be American.” So please join me for this ‘on the street’ set of interviews to hear people’s ideas about the projected demographic shift in the United States and how that might impact our identity as Americans.
