In this episode, Martin and Ben inquire into and explore a correlated journey between the rise of empathy and the technologies that have brought us to an increasingly desensitized and overwhelmed world.

In this episode Martin and Ben dynamically explore creativity in relation to materials and resources, dance into the realm of the Chakras, and within the flow, bring the tragedy of the commons into consideration within the freedom and responsibility that comes when using technologies such as AI. 

In this episode, Martin and Ben explore the threads and consequences of hyper-rationality and unprocessed emotion. In doing so, we discover an unexpected truth.

In this episode, Martin and Ben explore the fevered aspiration of  generational wealth in American culture. A notion of ascension not seeded in equity or fairness but rather in achieving immortality through material wealth and its accompanying power.

In this conversation we touch upon the nature of home, what her vision for a more patient cinema feels like, and how inner practice meets life through a sense of community and shared vision. It is often the case that humans see this process through the lens of struggle rather than possibility. Our conversation explores this dichotomy through a more joyful and conscious lens.
