#14 Maff Potts - Camerados, a movement based on mutuality

Maff Potts, founder and director of the Association of Camerados, speaks to host Pete Burden about the Camerados movement, based on mutuality, a radically different way for people to experience power, and the relationships (and, shush, great outcomes) that emerge from that.

Maff describes some of the hard won lessons learnt during the 10 years of Camerados, how the organisation stays small in order to minimise the dangers of neglecting mission in favour of survival, and his experience with the tyranny of structurelessness in the early days.

Maff reveals how he has worked to change his behaviour in interactions with others – from sitting on a sofa, and knowing nothing, and sitting on the pavement to level things up with someone experiencing homelessness. To the internal, personal work he has had to do to reduce the need to ‘fix people’.
