Scott Galloway on Resist & Unsubscribe: The Most Effective Form of Protest
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this episode of Lunch with Jamie, Jamie Patricof sits down with Scott Galloway to break down his powerful “Resist & Unsubscribe” movement—a form of protest designed to hit where it actually hurts: money, attention, and corporate influence.
Scott explains why unsubscribing from products, platforms, streaming services, banks, and brands you no longer align with may be more effective than outrage or performative activism. From the attention economy to corporate accountability, this conversation explores how economic pressure can drive real change.
Jamie and Scott also discuss:
- Why “Resist & Unsubscribe” is one of the smartest protest strategies today
- How consumer dollars shape politics, media, and power
- The challenge of letting go of conveniences we think we can’t live without
- Privilege, responsibility, and doing what you can instead of doing nothing
- Why economic protest may outlast outrage cycles
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure how to take meaningful action, this episode offers a clear, practical framework for reclaiming your agency—one unsubscribe at a time.
