Business Game Changers Radio with Sarah Westall: Exposing Government - Naomi Wolf’s Startup is shining a Bright Light

There is a cry all over the Internet that Americans are incredibly misinformed and ignorant. This may be correct if research company Ipsos Mori’s ignorance index is to be believed; the United States is only second to Italy as the most ignorant out of the 14 developed countries they studied. 

This could be funny, especially on display by comedy shows like the historical Jay Walking episodes, but it isn’t funny when we realize that citizens have no idea what legislation is going through congress and how these laws can effect your business and daily life. 

Activist Naomi Wolf is trying to change this with her new start up, The Daily Clout. Her goal is to empower everyone to build and exert real clout and impact our democracy. Their first product to launch is BillCam, an embeddable, shareable legislative tracking tool that connects federal and state bills and corresponding community annotation with relevant news articles, information, topical blogs and more.  

This episode of Business Game Changers welcomes Naomi Wolf to discuss her new startup and business goals. Sarah also discusses a few important pieces of legislation that have gone through congress.
