Including:How did the Honnold Foundation come about, and what is the organisation's core focus ?How and why was low cost solar energy chosen as an intervention? What makes this so effective?What is the foundation's operating model and where do its funds come from?Has it helped to have a high-profile founder in Alex Honnold? How does his involvement in the foundation work?Why is so little philanthropy currently aimed at climate issues? Do we need to stop seeing climate as a “cause area” and see it instead as a cross-cutting issue that affects all funders and civil society orgs?Is it a challenge for climate philanthropy that the needs of the planet are often framed as in competition with those of people? How can climate funders overcome this?What kind of due diligence do donors need to do on charities in order to fund them in a trust-based way?Can funding from donors/foundations confer legitimacy on grassroots orgs as well as financial resources? Is this useful for them?Is scaling about helping individual organisations to get bigger, or about growing the overall ecosystem?How can funders design impact measurement approaches with their grantees to ensure they are genuinely empowering and beneficial rather than imposing a new burden?Do we need a better narrative about what it means to “fail” and to “succeed” in philanthropy?Does Alex Honnold's background as a climber gives him a unique understanding of risk, and how does this play into the work of the foundation?What role does storytelling and narrative have to play in addressing climate concerns?

At a moment when the energy conversation is increasingly focused on markets, infrastructure, and scale, it can be easy to lose sight of something more fundamental: access. Roughly 750 million people around the world still live without electricity. And while the industry debates timelines, technologies, and capital flows, that reality remains unchanged for a huge portion of the global population. This month's guest, Alex Honnold, is best known for something completely different, but has spent the past decade working directly on that problem. Most people know Alex as the first person to free solo El Capitan, climbing 3,000 feet of sheer granite without ropes. It's one of the most extraordinary feats in modern sport. But over the past decade, he's been channeling that same focus and discipline into a different kind of work: expanding access to clean energy through the Honnold Foundation. This conversation was recorded live during San Francisco Climate Week, in a room full of founders, investors, and operators working to build the energy system of the future. And what stood out most to me was Alex's clarity. He doesn't speak in industry jargon. He doesn't overcomplicate the problem. He keeps coming back to something simple. If people don't have their basic needs met, nothing else works. In our conversation, we go back to Alex's childhood in Sacramento, growing up as a shy kid climbing anything he could find, to the experiences that shaped him early on: loss, independence, and the years he spent living out of a van. We talk about what led him to free solo El Capitan, and the mindset behind it, and how those same values eventually showed up in his decision to start the Honnold Foundation. And we get into how he thinks about risk, failure, and impact today, both on the wall and in his work. Alex is funny, candid, and at times unexpectedly vulnerable. And he brings a perspective that I think is easy to overlook, but hard to ignore once you hear it.

In episode 25 of the DocArena Podcast, Ross Whitaker catches up with directors Peter Mortimer (The Alpinist, The Dawn Wall) and Nick Rosen (The Alpinist, Reel Rock) to talk about their biggest project to date, The Dark Wizard, which is available to stream now on HBO Max.This HBO Original four-part documentary series, The Dark Wizard, gives an up-close and unflinching portrait of Dean Potter, one of the world's most influential and controversial climbers, BASE jumpers, and highline walkers.This podcast has been made possible with the support of the Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland Stakeholders fund.Listen now on SoundCloud, Apple, Spotify, Acast and Amazon, or subscribe to Film Ireland wherever you get your podcasts.The Dark Wizard traces the jaw-dropping feats that made him a legend, as well as the personal turmoil that defined his life.From an early age, Dean grappled with inner demons that led him to seek the limits of human possibility. Climbing became his outlet and Yosemite National Park became the canvas for his unique talent and artistic expression. As his accomplishments on El Capitan and Half Dome elevated him to hero status in the adventure sports world, his mental state began to fracture and his fierce competitive drive pushed him to try to outdo both himself and others, including rising star Alex Honnold. Ultimately, it was wingsuiting and his lifelong desire to fly that would prove to be his riskiest and most transcendent endeavour.Drawing from decades of archival footage, Dean's personal journals, and intimate interviews with those who knew him best, The Dark Wizard chronicles the triumphs, tragedies, rivalries, romances, and near-death moments that shaped the life of a brilliant yet tormented artist and athlete whose imagination and audacity redefined what the body and mind could do.Episode 4 will be available to stream on HBO Max on 4th May 2026.Peter MortimerPeter grew up in Boulder, Colorado where he learned to rock climb as a kid and made his first home videos of climbing and skiing exploits with friends.

Are you a dentist or dental practice owner feeling stuck working in your business instead of on it? In this episode of The Lifestyle Practice Podcast, Dr. Steve reveals the 4 powerful daily questions every dentist needs to ask themselves each morning to build a thriving dental practice — without sacrificing family, health, or freedom. Drawing inspiration from free solo climber Alex Honnold's historic El Capitan ascent and heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder's late-start path to greatness, Dr. Steve breaks down why success in dentistry is never about one big moment — it's about winning ordinary days, consistently, over time. Whether you're a pre-owner looking to acquire a dental practice, a new practice owner in growth mode, or an established dentist planning your exit strategy, these 4 questions will help you focus on what actually moves the needle: business growth, family connection, physical health, and sharper thinking. In this dental practice management podcast, you'll learn: ✅ The #1 question to ask yourself every morning to grow your dental practice ✅ Why most dentists confuse "providing for their family" with actually being present ✅ How to protect your physical health (your body IS your livelihood as a dentist) ✅ Daily habits of high-performing practice owners for better thinking and decision-making ✅ Why working ON your business beats working IN your business — every time ✅ How to identify and attack the one thing you've been avoiding in your practice   Connect with us: Take our FREE lifestyle and practice assessment: https://thelifestylepractice.com/practice-assesment/ Learn more about 1-on-1 coaching: https://thelifestylepractice.com/coaching-services/ Get access to TLP Academy: https://thelifestylepractice.com/coaching-services/ Subscribe to The Lifestyle Practice Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tlp-podcast-for-dentists/id1476544801 Email Derek at derek@thelifestylepractice.com Email Matt at matt@thelifestylepractice.com Email Steve at steve@thelifestylepractice.com 

In this episode of the Do One Better Podcast, Alberto Lidji speaks with Emily Teitsworth, Executive Director of the Honnold Foundation, about a powerful and often overlooked approach to climate philanthropy. Founded by professional climber Alex Honnold, the Honnold Foundation focuses on expanding access to solar energy in underserved communities around the world. But its impact goes far beyond clean energy. The organization identifies and supports grassroots leaders who are frequently invisible to larger funders, helping them develop, grow, and ultimately access greater resources. Emily shares how the foundation operates as both a funder and an intermediary, providing not only grants but also hands-on capacity building. This includes support with strategy, financial management, communications, and storytelling. By strengthening organizational foundations, these small, locally led groups become better positioned to scale and engage with larger institutional funders. A central theme of the conversation is trust-based philanthropy. Rather than imposing rigid frameworks, the Honnold Foundation meets partners where they are, offering flexible funding and long-term support. This approach allows unexpected and transformative outcomes to emerge. From solar-powered internet access in remote Brazilian communities to solar boat fleets in the Ecuadorian Amazon, the ripple effects extend far beyond energy access. Emily also discusses the importance of patience in philanthropy, especially when working with grassroots organizations navigating complex regulatory and operational environments. She highlights the foundation's role in bridging the gap between early-stage innovation and large-scale funding, helping surface high-potential projects that might otherwise go unnoticed. The episode explores the broader funding landscape, where billions flow into large-scale energy infrastructure while relatively little reaches community-led initiatives. The Honnold Foundation accounts for a meaningful share of global community solar funding, underscoring both the scale of need and the opportunity for more funders to engage. Ultimately, this conversation challenges traditional notions of scale and impact. It makes a compelling case for investing in small, locally rooted solutions as a pathway to meaningful, lasting change. Key topics include: Expanding solar energy access as both a climate and development solution Identifying and supporting overlooked grassroots organizations Trust-based philanthropy and unrestricted funding Capacity building as a pathway to scale Bridging grassroots innovation with institutional capital The concept of emergent impact in climate work Visit our Knowledge Hub at Lidji.org for information on 350+ case studies and interviews with remarkable leaders in philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship.

To accomplish your dreams and your goals, you need courage. What holds us back from taking action isn't ability. It is fear rooted in limited beliefs.

This topic is inspired by Skyscaper on Netflix, a documentary following Alex Honnold as he free climbs a 101-story building.​ As Lisa watched the live stream of Alex's ascent, she was intrigued by his commentary on fear and courage. She outlines three important lessons she learned while watching.​ Lisa parallels Alex's ability to do things that scare most people to real-life situations, inspiring you to do what feels hard or uncertain. If you want to make changes in your life, but fear has you paralyzed, this episode is for you. Tune in to gain insights on releasing fear and letting courage take over so you can hit your goals.

Tylenol Murders, Free Solo Climbing & Lawn Chair Larry: Wild True StoriesThe Old Dirty Basement podcast returns with an episode idea to discuss intriguing individuals and stories, starting with the 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders in which seven people died after capsules were laced with potassium cyanide, prompting a nationwide recall, new anti-tampering laws, and tamperproof packaging. The hosts cover suspect James William Lewis (who used aliases including “Robert Richardson”), his extortion letter demanding $1 million, his arrest in New York, conviction for extortion, later media attention, DNA testing that didn't match him, and the case remaining unsolved. They then shift to rock climber Alex Honnold and the extreme “free solo” style without ropes, recommending the Netflix documentary. Finally, they расскаunt Larry Walters' 1982 lawn-chair balloon flight to 16,000 feet over Los Angeles, his descent by shooting balloons, arrest, and the lawn chair's Smithsonian display, before wrapping up with social links and plugs.00:00 Basement Podcast Returns00:45 Episode Idea Pitch01:35 Tylenol Murders Setup02:49 Seven Deaths in Chicago06:46 Panic and Extortion Letter08:29 Alias Exposed as Lewis10:11 Lewis Backstory and Crimes14:39 Manhunt and Arrest17:32 Aftermath and Unsolved Case24:48 Wrap and Next Story Tease25:28 Alex Honnold Introduction26:31 Free Solo Talk27:50 Family Van Life28:50 How Far To Fall30:11 Jeffersons Theme Riffs32:13 TV Theme Royalties34:22 Larry Walters Setup38:28 Balloons Gone Wrong41:41 Airspace And Arrest47:01 Legacy And Wrap Up

Description:Many of us were taught that desire is dangerous—something to manage, suppress, or feel ashamed of. But what if desire isn't the problem at all? What if it's not just about sex or attraction, but about the places we feel most alive? Today, Jen and Amy sit down with FTL fan-favorite Jay Stringer, a licensed therapist and author whose work helps people understand the deeper stories shaping their desires—especially the ones we've been taught to hide, or silence. Drawing from his powerful new book Desire, Jay reframes desire not as a moral failure or impulse to eliminate, but as a signal worth listening to—one that points us toward what formed us, what wounded us, and what we are still longing for beneath the surface. Jay shifts the focus from behavior modification to understanding the story behind desire—for intimacy, success, escape, creativity, or belonging—shaped by early attachment, trauma, and unmet needs. The conversation moves from "What's wrong with me?" to "What happened to me?" turning desire from shame into meaning. This is not a conversation about labeling or fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself—how your story formed you, and how listening to what brings you to life can lead toward freedom, wholeness, and deeper connection.  This episode also serves as the opening doorway into our Wilderness & Wonder series. In a season when many of us are navigating uncertainty—spiritually, relationally, or internally—this episode grounds us in the idea that exploration isn't aimlessness, but formation. That the wilderness can be a teacher. And that desire itself may be one of the quiet guides helping us stay awake, curious, and present as we learn how to live inside the questions. This is a gentle conversation, but it's also a brave one. And we're really glad you're here for it. Thought-provoking Quotes: “Desire is a navigational term from Latin that means ‘lack of a star'. I'm looking into the skies, trying to find this new direction. How do I get home in the midst of all this wandering, all this misery that I feel like I'm in?” – Jay Stringer “When did you last feel alive? When did you feel connected to your body, connected to others? That's the essence of desire that we're trying to get back to.” – Jay Stringer “The antidote to shame is really developing some curiosity for it.” – Jay Stringer Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Harper's Magazine | Who Goes Nazi? by Dorothy Thompson - https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/ Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow by Jay Stringer - https://amzn.to/4buLADD Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing by Jay Stringer - https://www.amazon.com/Unwanted-Sexual-Brokenness-Reveals-Healing/dp/1631466720 Annie Dillard - https://www.anniedillard.com/ Brené Brown - https://brenebrown.com/ Alex Honnold climbs Taipei 101 skyscraper without ropes - https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/video/alex-honnold-climbs-taipei-101-skyscraper-ropes-129537771 Bill Plotkin - https://www.animas.org/about-us/our-founder/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3LTorjM Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse by Matthew Arnold - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43605/stanzas-from-the-grande-chartreuse Jon Batiste - jonbatiste.com Sarah Bessey - https://www.sarahbessey.com/ Dacher Keltner, PhD - https://www.dacherkeltner.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://jay-stringer.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jay_stringer_/ Twitter - https://x.com/_jaystringer Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JayStringerUnwanted# Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Connor Herson is back. He needs no introduction, but he’s easily one of, if not the best, trad climber in the world at the moment. We talk about his 2025 climbing season in Yosemite, when he ticked the free Nose in a day, got a first free ascent of Triple Direct, and climbed many other major notable routes all while going to school. But first, what’s next for Alex Honnold? We have some ideas. Today’s final bit is from photographer and musician Cliff Ritchey, with the song “Patagonia.” Cliff teamed up with writer Kelsey Timmerman on a book called “Regenerating Earth,” by Patagonia Books, that documents regenerative farming practices around the world. During their travels, they visited Patagonia, and Cliff fell in love with the place, the people, and the culture. The result is this song, titled “Patagonia.” Show Notes Follow Connor Herson on IG: https://www.instagram.com/connor.herson Did Connor Herson Just Have the Best 3 Days in Yosemite Climbing History? – via Climbing.com: https://www.climbing.com/news/connor-herson-nose-in-a-day-and-triple-direct/ Connor’s latest news: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUqlp18j6vL/?img_index=1 Follow Cliff Ritchey on IG: https://www.instagram.com/cliffritcheyart/ Cliff Ritchey photography / music: https://cliffritchey.com “Regenerating Earth”: https://www.patagonia.com/product/regenerating-earth-farmers-working-with-nature-to-feed-our-future/BK935.html Listen to “Patagonia” on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/7FI7MHOVpU75neTEUC3JIn?si=df8c08fae8c6469a Become a RunOut Rope Gun! Support our podcast and increase your RunOut runtime.

Roll On is here—and this one has teeth. Adam and I unpack the tale of two Alexes—Honnold and Pretti—and what that juxtaposition reveals about the best and worst of human nature. From there: a 9-month surgery milestone (30 lbs down, joy levels up), the Attia-Epstein fallout and the allure of proximity to power, and ICE's authoritarian overreach. Listener questions round us out: finding hope, perfectionism, escaping burnout, and the sacred practice of showing up for someone else. Enjoy!

Alex Honnold, the world's most accomplished free solo climber and subject of Oscar-winning Free Solo, just climbed Taipei 101 live on Netflix. In this special live podcast event—our first with a studio audience—we go behind the spectacle to explore what really happened on that building: the unexpected challenges and the mental shift that transformed pressure into joy. We discuss his training philosophy at 40, his evolving relationship with risk and mortality as a father, and why he challenges our arbitrary definitions of what's "dangerous" vs. "normal." Along the way, he makes us examine our own relationship with fear, discomfort, and living in alignment with our values. Alex unites and inspires us all. This conversation illustrates why. Enjoy!

Alex Honnold made history last night, free soloing one of the world’s tallest buildings in front of a live, international audience. There were moments where most of us had to look away, as Honnold climbed 101 stories and traversed seemingly impossible metal structures without ropes , nets or any type of safety equipment. Amy and T.J. talk about watching the event, the reaction online to the coverage and what Alex and his wife had to say once he made it to the top. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anger is mounting over President Trump's comments about NATO troops' role in the Afghanistan war. Non-American veterans have demanded an apology, saying they fought alongside US soldiers on the front line. Also: the United States, Russia and Ukraine hold their first trilateral peace talks; the UN Human Rights Council approves an inquiry into Iran's protest crackdown; Alex Honnold postpones his controversial free solo skyscraper climb; and are you a grumbletonian -- consult the old dictionary of London slang.

With just minutes to go, Netflix and Alex Honnold made the decision to postpone his scheduled and heavily promoted ‘Skyscraper Live’ event Friday night. So this evening, we will all be holding our collective breaths and watching as the 40 year old Free Solo climber takes on one of the tallest buildings in the world, without ropes, in front of the world. While there will be a 10 second delay for the live broadcast, the stakes are high, one wrong move may mean the difference between life and death.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on The Gist, Mike explains why he won't be watching Netflix's Skyscraper Live, arguing that Alex Honnold's latest stunt is an "attractive nuisance" that plays on our darkest voyeuristic instincts rather than the Olympic ideal. Then, New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel joins the show to discuss his book Devil's Advocates. He breaks down the "sh*tbag business" of foreign lobbying, covering Paul Manafort's pioneering work with dictators, Rudy Giuliani's "security consulting" hustle, and the very real legal exposure facing Hunter Biden.  Produced by Corey Wara Coordinated by Lya Yanne Video and Social Media by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?

You've probably seen the promos on Netflix: superstar climber Alex Honnold will attempt to climb one of the tallest buildings in the world TONIGHT. Live. No ropes. Netflix will air it on a 10-second delay, but that doesn't fully cover all of safety and ethical concerns for what Honnold is doing. Honnold -- considered one of the best climbers in the world -- shot to fame with the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," which documented his no-ropes climb up Yosemite's Dawn Wall. He's the only person to ever free solo the Dawn Wall, considered the holy grail of climbing. Tonight's broadcast comes with controversy and criticism, especially now that Honnold is a husband and father of two young girls. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
