In this episode, Benji sits down with Trace Bell, Founder of Open Aware, which is dedicated to helping individuals and organizations reach their full potential through integration, systems thinking, and embodiment. Trace is also the son of Spiritual Author and Teacher, Rob Bell. This is a nerd-out episode! Trace and Benji are talking about spiral dynamics.

Spiral Dynamics is a model used to understand the development between individuals, societies, and organizations. It helps us understand the value systems (what they care about and what motivates them) of different people and organizations, as they move through distinct stages of development.

Specifically today, we're breaking down each stage, each color, and giving you context for how this could be helpful to your development.
