  • Morag Gamble | Life Lessons From Permaculture
    I have a deep love for nature and systems thinking, that is why I resonate so deeply with the permaculture approach to farming and gardening. Morag Gamble, is an incredible permaculture ecologist, and educator out of Australia. If we go by the metric of goosebumps per episode, this one is leading the pack. Hearing Morag discuss the principles of nature, relationships, and our greater global systemic disharmony has left me with some great practical tips and applications. I'm pretty confident it will do the same for you. Morag is the founder of the Permaculture Education Institute and the Executive Director of the Ethos Foundation, a permaculture charity dedicated to supporting women and youth in gaining access to permaculture education and becoming leaders and teachers in their own communities. The Ethos Foundation supports refugees, indigenous youth and people in the global south.

  • Keith Garde | Love, Drugs, & Rock 'N' Roll
    Keith Garde is a successful entrepreneur, artist advocate, author, and a total mensch. His story is one of love, drugs, and rock n roll, though not necessarily in that order. Trauma and addiction have been half nemesis and half teacher throughout. Keith has won his battle with trauma and addiction every day for over 30yrs and now channels it all into coaching and advising leadership at it's highest levels. His career in artist management led him to working with bands like Aerosmith. Sure, his time with Aerosmith included all of the antics you can imagine, along with the band's recognition like 10 MTV Moonmen, multiple Grammy's, American Music Awards, but you'd never get that from speaking with Keith. Keith also created, produced, and directed the seminal Aerosmith Rockumentary, "The Making of Pump".

    What his experience really left him with was a realization that the relationships between the people involved, is the magic that underpins creative success, as well as fulfillment.

  • Lubomir Arsov: Director, Storyteller | In Shadow

    Lubomir Arsov is the director and storyteller known for his work on In-Shadow, a journey through the fragmented unconscious of the West, that represents the precarious and degraded condition of our contemporaneous unfolding. The film is beautifully told as mood scapes without dialogue. This is a challenging feat as well as one that affords viewers the ability to connect with the topics empathically. I see In-Shadow as the first step in a narrative bringing to light many of our unconscious patterns. As the great Carl Jung said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." The next step I see is creating solutions so that we can live in a more connected world that is filled with creativity, compassion, consideration aiding in expanding consciousness. It's my belief that this starts as an individual journey and progresses to the relationships and how we conduct our business. Lubomir and I discuss topics such as the technocratic emergence, the metaverse, and body sovereignty.

  • Dr Matthew Tunney | Green Bitcoin Mining

    Matt Tunney is CEO and founder of NGON Solutions, a company helping the oil industry operate more efficiently and improve environmental performance. The oil industry and Bitcoin seem pretty disparate, but NGON is changing that in a really cool way by capturing excess gas before it is flared and converting it onsite to usable energy that they use to mine Bitcoin. After gaining a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge University, Dr. Tunney spent the last 15 years working and trading in the financial and energy industries. Utilizing his experience in corporate structuring and trading throughout a successful banking career, he later leveraged his technical mathematical background, and his experience trading volatile and illiquid commodities through several market cycles to enter the blockchain industry where he sees significant growth and wealth creation opportunities. We discuss how Matt has stepped into the role of entrepreneur to innovate on how the oil industry operates. His approach improves on existing methods that consider the impact on the environment. We cover how over time he has converted skeptics and his vision for a greener future.

  • John Richards, KEXP Radio | You Are Not Alone. Music Heals.

    John Richards (he/him) is the Director of Programming, On Air | Host of the Morning Show. KEXP is an independent radio station that bucks the entire system.

  • Chief Jake (Black Bear) Singer | The Native Journey

    Chief Jackie (Black Bear) Singer has devoted his life to one of service, as a Navajo Sundance Chief (Brave Eagle) and traditional healer, and as a US Veteran and commander of Walk With The Warriors. Jake offers us an opportunity to learn from the traditions and wisdom of the Navajo people. Despite a long history of being wronged by the US government Jake transcends this paradigm and is tirelessly devoted to driving change from a place of love. One of his initiatives is Walk With Warriors where he seeks recognition and support for indigenous veterans. Since early 2000 he has been campaigning to make November 7th National Native American Veterans Day. Back in 2002 he and 5 fellow Native American veterans walked 2,800 miles across America, ending their journey in Washington DC where thier request was ignored. Even though the US government withdrew some of their agreements made in the treaty of 1868 (which they celebrate like their July 4th) to have native americans fight for them, the government consistently fails to recognize them for their contributions of service.

    And now, they are fighting for their rights once again to maintain their sovereignty. This is a cause they continue to fight for so please check out the links to see how you can get involved.

    I've been blessed to have sat with Jake in sweat lodge ceremonies and teepee ceremonies and am humbled by his openness, his commitment to his path and his power as a leader.

  • Marc Meyers | Storytelling in A Distracted World

    Let's step into the world of feature-film director and screenwriter Marc Meyers.

    Marc's body of work is diverse in genre but always reveals and honors the deeper emotional truth. Marc seamlessly moves from dramas like the critically-acclaimed cult hit My Friend Dahmer to romances like All My Life all the way to heavy metal slasher- We Summon Darkness. Whatever the film, he has a unique ability to help us empathize with the characters and even see part of ourselves within them.

    We discuss his roots on the stage, his process for developing films, his partnership with his wife and long-time producer, and the responsibility of storytelling in our modern world. With attention spans shorter than ever, content and screens coming at us from all angles, how do we connect with an audience desperately needing to connect with a deeper truth? We explore this topic and more so let's get to it.
