  • Creating the Impossible with Michael Neill

    We are REALLY excited about this one!(I know, we always say that, but seriously, we are!!)


    We have our dear friend and colleague Michael Neill as our guest and the theme for the interview is:
    How do we make the invisible visible, and the impossible possible. It’s filled with insights and reflections about how the process of creating something happens(or as the tagline of Michaels book says: taking stuff out of your head and putting it into the world) and how something that seems impossible can switch into something do-able.

    We experience this process all the time, and constantly learn to see beyond our imagined limitations and through the walls of what is «possible» for us personally, as One Solution, and as the world. The good news for us all, however, is what Michael shared in the conversation: «You don’t need special skills to go through an imaginary wall»

    That means that we are literally a blink away from new opportunity. Because although we know that the mind creates imaginary LIMITS, we also have first hand experience in the magic, or dare we say miracles, that can happen when those limits evaporate.

    Here are some highlights of what we talk about:
    - How to create something when we don’t see how. (Hint: it turns out looking for HOW is not where «it’s at» when it comes to STARTING.)
    - How do we move forward when we do see what  we want to do and how, but we’re still stuck even before we start.
    - How progress looks WAY different than the way we think it will look.
    - Maneuvering failure, plateaus, doubt, fear, obstacles.
    - How global solutions is not going to come from doing MORE or working harder, it’s going to come from something NEW.
    - And much much more!

    If you enjoyed this, we would REALLY appreciate it if you rate and review our podcast, it really helps us fool the Itunes algorithm and get infront of more people! :)

  • The link between Thongs and Global Change(Q&A-session)

    We looove Q&A. 


    It let's us rethink what we think we know and even what humanity knows, and try to get closer to something valuable and true. If you ever wondered what the link between capitalism and thongs, this is the podcast for you. We dive into how much of the world really is just thoughts we have made up, and made real over time. And how the only way to have a new world is to dramitically RETHINK the world we have created. 

    We live in an ocean of assumptions, stories, collective imagination and with all the moving parts of the world, it's hard to navigate what's real and what's not, what's helpful and not helpful, whats seems good for us NOW vs whats whats good for the planet for the next 500 years and beyond. And we live in the effect of our thinking wether we like it or not. 

    These are some of the questions we use to fuel the discussion in this podcast  

    1. How can you say there is ONE solution when there is so many complex problems?

    2. Whats the link between the personal problems and global problems


    3. How do we make people care about the world? It seems people just care about themselves and whats around them and have trouble looking at the big picture and whats best for the planet and the people of the world as a whole.

    We really get into these questions and hopefully can point to something new for you as a listener. So grab a cup of tea, or put your headphones into your ears on the tube and enjoy!

  • The Mind and Climate Change With Lauren Xie

    In this episode you hear Mara interview Lauren Xie, who we met at our trip to Oxford to speak at the Emerge Conference. After the conference, Lauren approached us, and told us how important and relevant the mind was if we are trying to educate people about Climate Change. 


    In other words:
    - If we want people behaving in a sustainable way, making sustainable choices, it begins within the mind. 
    - If we want to collaborate in creating those solutions, it begins within the mind. 
    - If we want to decrease and in some cases eradicate excessive consumption and greed, it begins within the mind. 
    - If we want people to go from thinking about themselves to thinking about the globe, it begins within the mind. 

    If climate change was caused by humans, the level our collective thinking was the source. If we want to create new change, we need a new level of thinking. 

    There is no other way.

  • Global Problems: From symptom to solutions

    This podcast is a recording from a keynote Mara and Eirik did in a One Solution Conference in Cape Town in april of 2017. This talk will illuminate how the chronic global issues of our time are only understood and treated at the source: the human mind. Seeing and treating the source of our global issues is the only hope for creating a new world for future generations.


    Any system in life is only understood and improved when human beings can see the fundamental source, or starting point of it. Consider the foundation of a building, or the human immune system as examples. Painting over cracks in the walls of a house with a faulty foundation is just going to lead to more work in the future, and eventually larger structural problems.

    Similarly, continuing to put cortisone cream on a persistent rash is not going to treat the issue at the source. It will only provide temporary relief, but no real understanding of what is the underlying cause of inflammation, and therefore no understanding of how to cure it at the source.

    Any time humans better understand the most fundamental source of an issue, then and only then is real and lasting progress made. The current state of the world is trapped in an ineffective cycle of dealing with the symptoms of socio-global issues, from war and conflict to inequality, poverty, and mental health issues without understanding and addressing them at the source.

  • The Global Immunesystem

    We are always searching for what is the ONE thing that affects everything, and this podcast will be about how important that search is. To visualize this we use the metaphor of an immunesystem - if we increase our global mental immunesystem all of our global issues improve. This is true for your body, for your family, for a community, for a business, and for the world. When humans feel better, we do better - and when we are healthy, we make healthy decisions. It's as simple as that, but why are most of us spending time fixing what went wrong, rather than preventing it from happening in the first place?
