    https://answers.network

    A demographic futurist explains how communities, products, services, and economics are changing in order to adapt to population changes, the likes of which are being seen and navigated through for the first time in recorded history.

    Today, Italy, Japan, and Germany have already reached the Super Age, and another ten countries will have gone over the tipping point in 2021. Thirty-five countries will be part of this club by the end of the decade. This seismic shift in the world population can bring about a period of tremendous growth—or... leave us behind.

    In Super age, Schurman explains how changing demographics will affect government and business and touch all of our lives. He warns that as a society we need to prepare for the changes to come. With some proper steps and adjustments to this shift, we can plan now to harness the benefits of the Super Age: extend and live healthier lives, while achieving more generational cooperation at work and home, and creating new markets and products that will help people of all ages and ability, thrive. The choice is ours to make.

  • Ep. 669 - The Lone Ranger and Tonto Meet Buddha: Masks, Meditation, and Improvised Play
    4-4-22 Allen Cardoza & Rachel Kove Interview Peter Coyote
    http://petercoyote.com
    http://answers.network

    Sharing a series of mindfulness techniques and acting exercises that show how malleable the self can be, award-winning actor, narrator, and Zen Buddhist priest Peter Coyote reveals how to use masks, meditation, and improvisation to free yourself from fixed ideas of who you think you are. They help you release your ego from constant defensive strategizing, calm the mind’s overactivity, and allow spontaneous playfulness to arise out of your deepest nature.

    Peter's new book, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Meet Buddha Masks, Meditation, and Improvised Play to Induce Liberated States, evolved through his 40 years of research and personal study. Coyote’s synthesis of mask-based improv games and Zen practices is specifically designed to create an ego-suppressed state, akin to the mystical experiences of meditation or the spiritual awakenings of psychedelics.

    Peter explains that after a series of preparatory exercises, seeing yourself in a mask will temporarily displace your familiar self and the spirit of the mask will take over. Likening the liberated state induced by mask-work to “Enlightenment-lite,” Coyote draws on Buddhist philosophy to describe how and why the exercises work as well as how to make your newly awakened and confident self-part of daily life.

    In true Zen form, woven throughout the narrative is a lighthearted parable of an out-of-work Lone Ranger and Tonto, who meet Buddha and experience spiritual awakening. Illuminating the lessons of mask-work, the transformation of the Lone Ranger mirrors that of the individual pursuing this practice, revealing how you will come to realize that the world is more magical and vaster than you thought possible.

    It’s Go Time presents a business model, created by Jill McAbe, that helps people who sell their time build scalable businesses and achieve lifestyle freedom.

    Most business models are for tech, product, large firms/agencies, startups, or for people who love the hustle.

McAbe created the Expertise-Based Business Model and wrote It’s Go Time to help people who have not previously had a place to turn.

    You went into business for yourself to achieve lifestyle freedom. Multiple iterations later, that hasn’t happened. You expect some failures, but you’re starting to wonder if you’re on the right path. You think you know what comes next, but you’re struggling to get going. How can you be confident in the path you choose?

  • Ep. 666 - Agents of Deceit: Inside Today's Chaotic and Dysfunctional I.R.S. | Richard A. Green
    3-14-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Richard A. Green
    http://answers.network
    https://agentsofdeceit.com/

    Rick Green spent five years as an IRS auditor and lived to tell the tale! In this searing, behind-the-scenes look at the real IRS and the threat it now poses to the financial well-being of every American, the MBA-trained tax expert documents the everyday abuses which take place daily inside the nation's most feared bureaucracy.

    Whether he's describing the "terror tactics" employed by agents intent on gouging every last penny out of taxpayers or the politically astute careerists who dominate a bureaucracy that "routinely tramples on the rights of the citizenry," Green's inside look at the Orwellian world of the modern IRS will enlighten the millions who've learned to fear April 15th more than any other day on the calendar.

    But it doesn't have to be that way, says Green, the gutsy whistleblower who was fired for speaking out against the agency's abuses and who then fought back with a successful lawsuit that was detailed in stark front-page coverage by the Los Angeles Times. When it comes to paying your federal taxes, knowledge is power, and Green's one-of-a-kind look into the dark side of the IRS will help readers to shrug off their needless fear of the tax agents, while learning how to pay their fair share of taxes and not a penny more!

    Inspiring and full of hope -- and funny as hell at times -- Green's exposé is chocked-full of eye-opening detail that will help readers to stop being afraid of the fed taxers and start insisting on their rights when tax-day rolls around each year.

    https://www.deanewaldman.com

    In Curing the Cancer in U.S. Healthcare, Dr. Deane Waldman delivers an eye-opening look at U.S. Healthcare today including the shocks he experienced while caring for thousands of children with heart problems.

    Dr. Waldman states that when it comes to our health care, we all want the same thing: the care we need, when we need it, from people we choose, at a price we can afford. Why must all Americans have the same healthcare structure? If Californians want a single-payer system if Texans want market-based medicine, and if New Yorkers want Obamacare, why should Washington say no to 86 million Americans?

    Kristin S. Held, M.D. President-Elect, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons says that Curing the Cancer in U.S. Healthcare is, “A must-read for physicians, patients, and policymakers alike. Equipped with his vast experience as a pediatric cardiologist, clinician, teacher, researcher, and policy adviser, Dr. Waldman approaches our critically ill healthcare system as he does a critically ill patient. He identifies the root causes of the problems and proposes a workable cure that puts patients first. This is a quick and superb read packed full of information and insight.”

  • Ep. 664 - Schmooze: What They Should Teach at Harvard Business School | Cody Lowry
    2-28-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Cody Lowry
    http://answers.network
    https://www.mrschmooze.com

    In entrepreneur Cody Lowry’s new book, Schmooze, he shares how the events in his life led him to become a motivational force in the lives of others.

    According to Cody, we don’t talk to one another any longer. We tend to look more at our phones rather than look someone in the eye. Our technology has made us the most connected society in human history, and yet, we’ve become more disconnected because of it. Technology, mind you, is not bad. But we depend on it so much today that we’re forgetting why we need face-to-face communication in the first place. We need to connect. It is crucial to who we are.

    That’s why “Schmooze” is so important. Cody shows us in a very entertaining, engaging way how schmooze has helped him – and how it can help all of us. He gives us a roadmap we all can follow. We’ll be less fearful, more caring, and more daring with our dreams, and we’ll see chance encounters as opportunities to learn, lead, and be who we want to be.

    This book for the ages, as powerful as Dale Carnegie’s iconic How to Win Friends & Influence People, is a modern self-help guide that will be hard to put down.
