The Practical Utopian
In this episode of the Project Good Podcast, host Annmarie Hylton welcomes author and climate advocate Guy Dauncey, who describes himself as a “practical utopian” and “realistic dreamer,” to discuss how to face climate change, political division, economic anxiety, and social fragmentation without despair. Guy argues that renewable solutions are advancing rapidly, yet fossil fuels persist due to profit and propaganda, and he frames capitalism as a culture of selfishness masked by “scientific” economics. Drawing on human history, he contrasts domination with cooperation and emphasizes democracy, economic democracy, and community action as paths forward. He previews his book The Economics of Kindness, proposing social purpose charters for businesses, stronger worker rights, cooperative ownership in workplaces and housing, fairer taxation of extreme wealth, and “circles of hope” that rebuild trust through local relationships and collective organizing. 00:00 Welcome to Project Good01:55 Meet Guy Dauncey03:34 Practical Utopian Mindset08:57 Kindness Meets Economics15:57 Democracy and Economic Power26:49 Is Selfishness Human Nature34:05 Ending Capitalism Blueprint38:36 Housing Crisis and Public Housing43:00 Democracy And Central Banks48:31 Community Wealth Trust01:13:47 Closing Resources Guy Dauncey is an author, climate advocate, systems thinker, and self-described "practical utopian." For more than forty years, he has explored what it will take to create a future that is not only sustainable, but also more just, compassionate, and deeply human. Through his books, speaking, and advocacy, Guy has challenged the idea that hope is simply a feeling. Instead, he argues that hope is something we build through action, imagination, and a willingness to rethink the systems that shape our lives. Check out his new book The Economics of Kindness out this July 2026.

Prison Reform
Host Annmarie Hylton introduces the Project Good Podcast’s June focus on prison reform, outlining longstanding criticisms of California’s prison system and recent reform efforts. She interviews Keith Wattley, founder and executive director of Uncommon Law, about what drew him into criminal justice reform and why he built a legal model centered on partnership, people-first language, and clients’ agency to tell their stories to the parole board. Wattley argues that punishment is often chosen over healing, that trauma and disconnection commonly underlie harm across society, and that accountability means acknowledging harm and taking steps to repair it. He discusses racial and wealth disparities as policy choices, cautions against simplistic comparisons to Scandinavian models, and describes how proximity to incarcerated people shifts stereotypes. Wattley highlights that people released from long and life sentences have extremely low violent recidivism (under 1%) and calls for healing-focused policies and community-based alternatives to incarceration. 00:00 Welcome to Project Good01:02 Meet Keith Wattley03:20 Why Reform Work07:55 Beyond Labels and Systems10:54 Trauma and Healing14:10 Redemption and Accountability24:27 Race Policy and Targeting29:48 Models Beyond America34:21 Training New Advocates43:29 Recidivism Myths and Money50:31 Healing Community Action01:00:52 Closing and Resources Keith Wattley (he/him), Founder and Executive Director, received his B.A. in Psychology from Indiana University and his J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law. He has been advocating for the rights of people in prison and on parole for more than 25 years. Prior to launching UnCommon Law in 2006, Keith was a staff attorney at the Prison Law Office, a nonprofit law firm in Berkeley. At UnCommon Law, he has focused on helping people transform their lives and demonstrate to the parole board that they can safely be released from their life sentences. He has also engaged in impact litigation and individual cases involving unlawful prison and parole conditions, and he has trained hundreds of lawyers, law students and others in advocating for the rights of incarcerated people. In 2018, Keith was selected as one of the Obama Foundation’s inaugural Fellows, recognizing his unique legal model and vision, and in 2020, he was awarded the James Irvine Foundation's Leadership Award. Keith has been active on several boards of directors, and served as co-chair of the Institutional Review Board (human subjects committee) for the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. He was also a member of the Founding Board of Directors for the Prison University Project (San Quentin’s College Program) and a member of the Board of Directors for Legal Services for Prisoners with Children. Keith currently teaches a course titled "California Prisons and Discretionary Parole" at UC Berkeley School of Law where he also supervises the Post-Conviction Advocacy Project.

Leadership with a Spiritual Impact
Host Annmarie Hylton introduces the Project Good Podcast’s May theme, “leadership with a spiritual impact,” describing a global crisis of meaning, ethical leadership, information overload, and a shift from transactional to transformational leadership. She interviews Reverend Kevin Taylor—pastor, leadership advisor, and author of A Charge to Keep—about his upbringing in Ann Arbor, an exchange trip to Japan, attending Tuskegee University, and how urban ministry led him into education administration and governance. Taylor argues America’s spiritual roots matter most in how values show up in leadership, voting, and policy, and says fear and polarization keep people from naming beliefs while disagreeing respectfully. He calls for seeking common ground, improving inclusion, and rethinking outdated institutions like the size of Congress and the Supreme Court. He frames faith as a guide for humane workplace decisions, urges AI governance and accountability, and explains his book’s practical lessons on lonely leadership, mentorship, pacing, and integrity. Taylor closes by encouraging civic responsibility, learning from U.S. history, “changing your square,” and confronting climate-driven migration and resource challenges with shared humanity and hope. 00:00 Welcome to Project Good01:55 Meet Reverend Kevin Taylor04:27 Kevin’s Journey and Calling08:53 Faith, Politics, and US Values14:47 Fear, Identity, and Speaking Up28:12 Finding the Happy Middle34:34 What Leaders We Need Now41:05 Faith at Work and Hope44:29 AI, Governance, and the Future51:09 Why He Wrote the Book59:06 Leading Yourself Forward01:06:03 Closing and Where to Learn More Rev. Kevin T. Taylor is a pastor, leadership advisor, and the author of A Charge to Keep, a book exploring the real weight of authority and the decisions leaders must carry alone.

His work focuses on helping leaders move the decisions they’ve been carrying into action with clarity and integrity.
