To purchase Gunter's books, they are available at all retailers and online shops or check out: The Bookstore21 min - Inspire Change 4-139 Jordan Peterson Masculinity & The Stories We Tell OurselvesWelcome everyone we are back with our first Special Guests episode of the season to join Gunter and I in studio. I'd like to welcome back Dr. Mark Williams to the podcast, along with the next generation of young men: Grayson Arndt, Rish Thakkar and Nate Munoz
In the last two episodes we started our series on the enignma of Canadian Psychologist Jordan Peterson. We received a higher than normal surge of listeners and comments wanting more. So, we put together this episode to continue the conversation in a longer show with some very special guests in studio joining Gunter to discuss: Jordan Peterson:, Masculinity and the Stories we Tell Ourselves. I am Miranda Spigener-Sapon, Exec Producer of Inspire Change and Moderator for this episode. For those of us joining the show as listeners for the first time, when we have guests, it is not Host to guests Q&A and style, but a casual, thought-provoking discussion that encourages and empowers critical thinking and inspires our guests to speak freely, openly an a great conversation without judgement and allowing for an intelligent and moving conversation on topics involving not just current events, relationships, gender, but also what is affecting men and masculinity today. Our guests range from other psychologist, authors, thought-leaders, speakers , filmmakers and everyday people. Let’s welcome this panel:
First we have Dr. Mark Williams joining us for a 2nd time as a guests on Inspire Change and we are happy to have you join us again on this conversation. Dr Mark Williams is an Internationally recognised Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience who has worked at top Universities in Australia and overseas including MIT in the USA. He has been published in top tier international academic journals and been widely featured in the media including the ABC, SkyNews, SBS, The Guardian, New York Times, The Economist and the New Scientist. Mark has studied how we learn and develop using cutting edge computational brain imaging analysis and the adoption of new technologies like virtual reality and transcranial magnetic stimulation. He designed and convened a very successful 1st Year Neuroscience course at University with more than 800 students and works with schools internationally on improving teaching methods, learning outcomes, and student wellbeing.
Our next guests are 3 young men I have recently had the honor to work with in the entertainment industry here in lLos Angeles: Grayson Arndt, my Executive Assistant here at Noirtainment as well as an aspiring writer and filmmaker and recently many of you have heard his voice as the new announcer for this 4th Season of Inspire Change. Grayson is a recent graduate from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor’s in Philosophy and I’ll quote his words: “Stories are amazing things. Whether they're told by an Oscar Winning Writer on the Screen or a Father at the end of a Bed, stories tell us who we are, where we came from, and where we're going. They inform our values, draw on our emotions, and cultivate the foundations for thriving communities big or small. “
Next up is Rish Thakkar, a documentary filmmaker: Rishabh has led Documentary projects in India, France and the USA. A graduate of Chapman University with MFA in Documentary Filmmaking. He believes audiences all around the world connect through one thing -Emotions. Driven by his passion for inducing emotions in the audience through the audio-visual medium and guided by quality direction, he tends to put his best foot forward in every project. Irrespective of however, a small role he may play in it.
And last is Nate Munoz, who also happens to be our Sound/Audio Engineer in studio as well as part of our sound design and editing team of my animated series in production, Haisley. Nate has had his boots on the ground in the music industry ever since he captured his interest at 11 years old. Music has been a part of Nate's life for generations. He currently runs his original music at live shows all over Los Angeles. Nate also works in PR and Music Management.
So, now without further ado, let’s get this conversation started and I will hand it off to our host of Inspire Change, Gunter Swoboda.

We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position.
