Jack Panda Speaks

How often do you cook at home for yourself or your family? Homemade food requires time & energy, which nowadays we tend to prioritise for everything but cooking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Are you willing to commit and make the necessary commitments in order to build something meaningful over time? Are you willing to delay gratification in a world of instant gratification and infinite opportunities? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Everyone is out there either selling a formula or looking for a formula! Today I talk about creating a formula and doing Vs. doing and creating a formula as you go. Why I believe that long term planning and strategies just don't fit with today's fast paced world of exponential change! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Find yourself going from your bed to your smartphone or laptop since you started working from home in 2020? Forgetting to do exercise or even eat sometimes? The virtual world is taking our awareness away from our physical bodies and that could be dangerous. Today I talk about how I came to realise that I was spending days on end absorbed in the virtual world without moving my body, and how discipline and a new routine is getting my physical & mental health back on track!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Can you feel the crypto-hype recently? The FOMO? That Bitcoin is making people rich and that it's the solution to everything?! Today I share my personal opinion on CryptoCurrency, and address the human naivety related to such a revolutionary technology. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

The 1st digital marketplace for homemade food is what the Sacred Food eShop could become! The vision is clear, and the concept is being proven over time. Today I share my excitement and vision for a platform that could revolutionise the life & health of many. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I share the surreal story of how a dream we had and let go of in 2019, suddenly became true out of nowhere. I hope this story can inspire you to dream, let go and trust that life will happen for you in the most unexpected ways. Dream on! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today we discuss the world's current obsession with scaling infinitely into the virtual world. The market has never been more abundant. The temptation to reach as many people as possible around the world with a product or service has never been bigger. What could be the consequences of scaling too much or too quickly? Standardisation vs Personalisation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I discuss the upsides and downsides of both conventional schooling, and the evermore popular homeschooling due to covid & lockdown. What does homeschooling have to do with transhumanism? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

I was vegan for 3 years, although I reincorporated animal products about a year and a half ago as my body was desperately asking for it, plus I felt very ungrounded. This very ungroundedness of the vegan diet could make it the perfect diet for this digital transition. Tune in and let me explain more... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

I am finding that the more time I immerse myself in the digital world of instant gratification, the less interested I am to the physical world. So it would make sense if the new generations become indifferent to the natural world. Especially once they cannot only create their own worlds, but also immerse themselves into the very world they have created.

Recently I have felt resistance towards being with other people, as there is no desire to interact or talk about anything, just the longing to be in silence. It is tricky to be with others in silence for most, so I retreat into my selfhood. Time for a Vipassana maybe? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I talk about virtual reality, specifically Facebook "Horizon" that has been launched this year 2020. Perfect timing considering the global confinement situation. A 2nd lockdown could be the perfect opportunity for VR to be introduced on a broader scale. At Sacred Food we wish to explore the potential of VR for our business. Virtual Reality Dining is already a thing! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

I am sure we invented the concept of having a soul, just because we didn't want to come to terms with our ending. Endings are hard, and we would rather believe that our soul lives on after we die. It is comforting for the mind without a doubt. This world was not enough, so we had to go and create a spirit world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

After a run, swim and a chai in memory of my dear friend Karl, I contemplate how his death will give life to so many people. How developing a relationship with death in today's death-avoiding culture & society, could give your life more meaning, depth & aliveness. I also ponder the idea of one being "ready to die" and what that could imply. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Drop the pressure & anxiety to be something or someone, and allow yourself to detach from everything & everyone to find peace in the nothingness that awaits you. The major barrier for most of us is the fear of aloneness, although when transcended you realise that what you feared was only a human illusion. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

AI will kill us without a doubt, just not in the way people imagine or how dystopian movies depict it. Rather than homo sapies and AI battling it out, it will be more of an evolutionary death. Just like homo sapiens killed off homo erectus, transhumans will kill off homo sapiens. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

I ponder the peace that I feel today after a dear friend of mine passed yesterday. Death really is a reminder of what life is and what we are part of. Death can ignite gratitude, peace and new beginnings. Thank you Karl. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

The sense of guilt that can creep in when you give yourself the freedom to not do in order to allow room for new ideas to emerge! We so often get stuck in the need to be productive and get shit done, but what if this also requires the counterpart of not doing? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I had my 1st of many FREE coaching sessions, and I felt the pressure to perform. So many reflections from just one session. It felt like the coaching session coached me too!! This marks the beginning of Jack Panda Listens. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Deciding to change profession after 10 years, when everyone knows me as a chef, is no joke. I really have to go within, believe in myself and run with my dream. Initially I will work as a coach for free to gain experience & reputation! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

From external confusion to not knowing, to being ok with not knowing, to going inwards for answers, to then worship the self as all knowing, to the integration of selfhood and AI. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Don't trust anyone or anything, question everything we are told! Sure, questioning life & situations can offer new insights and be great at catalysing positive change in our lives, but what if we get stuck in the endless loop of questioning? We can end up in a dark mental cave of confusion, which nobody seems to talk about. Questioning is not always a good idea... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

It has never been a better time to practice adaptation, seeing opportunities within the crisis and staying grounded amongst the global chaos that's coming! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

We can only cook and deliver so much homemade food at Sacred Food, but we really want people to be cooking & eating more homemade food. Home Cooking is such a revolutionary act in so many ways, and for this reason we started the airbnb of homemade food. The 1st digital community kitchen! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Who wants to have a bad day right? A day where nothing flows, all you seem to come across are obstacles, and by the end of it you feel helpless...? Well no one of course, but we wouldn't appreciate the good days without the contrast with a bad day. Could we be moving towards an unemotional human being? Is productivity & creativity more important than human nature? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you ever feel like you yearn being in nature and living of the land, but when you realise how time comsuming and inconvenient it would be to do so, then you get excited about the automated-instant-abundant virtual reality of the future to come? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I ponder about the negative side effects of "to-do" lists, as they can create anxiety and distract you from your immediate environment. Then I ponder the idea of taking time off or resting from work, and whether it could be counterintuitive for those that are in love with their work & process. What do you think? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Wake up early and get lost in your process. Being aware of your life experience does not make you a better person or allow you to appreciate it more. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I talk about having different product & service thresholds to build relationships and trust with your customers, especially if you are a new business on the scene. I also send my prayers out to a friend going through a critical surgery today, and how sometimes we just need to sit with our helplessness. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today in no particular order I talk about financial pressures, being at peace with the fact that you are doing your best, finding time & space for yourself in such a noisy world, and last but not least creating boundaries if working full time from home with your partner. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Yesterday's topic triggered some resistance and questions around AI and whether it would replace what it means to be human. But if humans have always been evolving, then what it means to be human must have always been evolving too right? Do we maybe get too attached to our personal experience of what it means to be human? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Feeling confused about what, when & how you should eat in today's conflicting & confusing world of information? Don't worry, AI will soon be retrieving your real time biochemical data, and based on that, it will be able to suggest the optimum food for you to consume in that given moment. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

When I set out to do 365days of podcasting my intention was for it to be a commitment challenge for myself, and that's really it. I soon got lost in people's feedback, how the podcast should be structured, the number of listeners, reaching more listeners, getting somone to help edit and promote the episodes...and before I knew it the pressure I was putting on myself left me disinterested in continuing... Now I resume daily episodes with my initial intention! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Did you know that social media is rewiring your brain? Rewiring the way you perceive life and communicate with the world? Some people are warning us about this, although maybe it just be part of the transition towards transhumanism? Of course letting go of our human nature is no easy thing to do... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Sustainability is definitely not convenient for most of us, but is it practical? Today I go on a rant about how humans may not have the biological capacity to manage a global system sustainably, and that's where maybe AI comes in to save the day! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

The lockdown has shown me that we are quite happy being at home thanks to the internet. The digital world allows us to feel connected and interact with the world without leaving our homes. Could the future be of physical confinement, but digital freedom? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

It sounds like a beautiful idea to co-create a business with your loved one. And it is I can assure you, although today I talk about the ugly meltdown we had last week. Our romantic relationship had got lost in the business. I also talk about the consequences of not following your intuition. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Recently I had a session with a psychic and she said that my weak spot in business is marketing. I was so attached to being 100% authentic that I was against scheduling posts on social media. Consistency is key for brand awareness! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I talk to you from my car full of food as I head to the local food bank. The Sacred Food Mission has allowed us to raise funds and support many families during these tricky times. It has also shown us however, that helping others too much can also be counterproductive and cause unhealthy dependency. Sound familiar? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

With an ever-expanding global system and subsystems, and an ever-growing dependent population, AI technology is vital. We as humans are not biologically capable of managing and running such a vast and complex system, let alone optimize it's efficiency. Unless we are upgraded with AI technology that is! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you sometimea have so many ideas flying around that you freeze? Because that's the way I have felt today, fully chaotic up in the skull! So chaotic that I can't even remember what I have talked about during this episode?! Do let me know haha --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Have you found your purpose during lockdown? In today's episode I contrast my past days in luxury catering with my current days of cooking for those in need, and how the latter is certainly more fulfilling. Saying that we need to find a balance between taking and giving to make the fulfillment sustainable long term. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you feel more free online or in the physical? In today's episode I talk about the virtual worlds of our grandkids, how the physical reality will be totally controlled by and plugged into AI, why mother nature morphed into mother technogy, and how the lockdown has accelerated our evolution into transhumans. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you feel like your freedom is being taken from you? Today I reflect on the idea that as humans we have always been subject to a higher power, how the system we depend on looks after us in exchange for our so called freedom, why most of us are employed rather than self-employed, and why we should own our part rather than point & blame. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you live off grid totally self-sufficient? In today's episode I talk about our collective choice to depend on an ever growing system, how the system offers us comforts in exchange for our freedom, why it needs to be centralized in order to manage and maintain its functionality, and how now we need to own and surrender to the consequences of our choice. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you feel like the lockdown has locked you down on a personal level? In today's episode I talk about taking our focus away from fear and getting creative at home, adapting to the circumstances rather than becoming a victim, how this situation is a message from the universe to the human race, and how the current lockdown accelerates our transition into the Virtual World. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Have you stocked up on food for the Lockdown? In today's episode I reflect on the Corona situation, how it is inviting us to have a conversation with death, the paradox of how death feeds life, surrendering to what is beyond our control, and how we need to support each other in this collective struggle. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you realise the power you have as a consumer? In today's episode I have a little rant about food accountability, why we need to stop blaming the system and own up, how we vote with every purchase at the supermarket, how maybe our fate has already been decided, and how one day Real Food may be so rare that it will be considered Sacred once again. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message
