In this Frankly, Nate recasts his favorite book series, the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien, with some speculative “archetypes” of our human world grouped by various timelines. The eventual reduction in energy and material accessibility will likely alter the archetypes that we're familiar with today - perhaps to become something not helpful to larger society. What categories of human archetypes in the future will have the potential to best influence their communities and the Earth? What will the most powerful among us choose when it comes to protecting their (monetary, temporary) wealth vs using it towards prosocial collective responses? Finally, and most importantly what archetypes will form a new Fellowship of humans to ‘bring the ring to Mordor' during humanity's ‘Bend not Break' moment? Which archetype do you resonate with? Are there others?

Show Summary: On this 5th and final installment of the Bend Not Break series with Daniel Schmachtenberger, we unpack the framework and mindset needed to begin thinking about responses. This conversation touches on what it means to work on personal development in the light of a polycrisis, and how it is truly a never ending but necessary challenge. Finally, Daniel and Nate break down a 3x3 grid on time frame and category of responses. Whilst this is the end of this series, there is, of course, much left to be unpacked.

In this fourth installment of conversations with Daniel Schmachtenberger, we dive deeper into the nuances of humans using energy, materials and technology. Human's ability to develop and use tools is one of our greatest strengths - yet has also led to increasing destruction of the natural world. How does technology intensify the binding effects of a world order based on growth? Is there any way out - or could global solutions just make the problem worse?

Why are they threatening to various sections of society? Further, Schmachtenberger helps us understand how we can take in the systemic metacrisis facing humanity in ways that grant us agency, rather than despair.

Scott was dealt a hard hand in his youth, but after he “graduated” from foster care when he was 18, he started on the path that led him to becoming first a personal trainer and then a motivational coach and the creation of his Bend not Break program. He shares his past from an authentic and vulnerable place because he wants to help others who may have hard beginnings and don't know how to start improving things for themselves. A turning point for him was the birth of his daughter, Lexi, who is the guiding light for his purpose in life; he wants her to see that he will never give up. I found our conversation to be very powerful and inspiring, I think you will too. KEY TAKEAWAYS Forgiveness of others can help free you from the anger that keeps you frozen in place and unable to accomplish your dreams You need to feel your feelings and be where you are, but put boundaries in place so that you don't stay in those dark places. Take breaks, step back, nurture yourself. You need to figure out how to fill your own well so that you are operating from a place of prosperity. Trust yourself when you feel like something doesn't feel right. Listen to those internal guideposts and rather than trying to disconnect from those feelings, try and figure out how to resolve them. BEST MOMENTS “There are constantly things that stress us or that push us to our limits – that make us feel that we want to give up. And I mean, I was a testament to that; there were four different times where I was literally five minutes away from just…tapping out. And it was the people around me that supported me and gave me that hope and saw my potential. And that's the kind of mental part of it as well. So I wanted to do something that was done for me… to help other people.” “I guess what sets me apart is…I can see people and that's something that I guess came from my life experience and constantly watching. And I think that [makes] people feel valued. I think once you're straight with people, you're empathetic, and you're able to actually show a genuine interest and are able to help people.” “I need to have those little circuit breakers; I started to call them circuit breakers after COVID – I need to have those things in my life to reinvigorate me and to do things for me. Self-care is not selfish.” “It's just very liberating to know who you are, why you're doing what you're doing, and the life that you want to live.” ABOUT THE GUEST Scott spent most of his childhood in foster care. He lost his mother to alcohol addiction and his father to a broken heart a few years later. Scott always loved being active and athletic, so he began to train to be a personal trainer, but soon found he needed to do more than just PT, so he began to study more and take steps to become a motivational and life coach. His life experiences and passion for holistic fitness inspired him to create the Bend Not Break program, which enables him to take select clients through exercise and nutrition plans to help them blow through their own obstacles. Scott lives in Belfast with his reason for being, his seven-year-old daughter, Lexi.

On this episode we meet with founding member of The Consilience Project, Daniel Schmachtenberger. In the first of a three-part series, Nate and Daniel outline the macro risks and pathways for civilization to 'bend' and avoid 'breaking' in coming decades. In the Part 1 conversation, Schmachtenberger flips the script to interview Nate about the urgent problems his research and work on energy, money, and growth confront. Nate explains how we can come to understand energy blindness and the overlooked role of oil in consumption, production, and progress since the Industrial Revolution. The dominant narrative of human progress prioritizes capital and labor — but the omission of energy and materials leaves out a key component to understanding how the modern human ecosystem functions. Further, Nate discusses how a growth economy will inevitably lead to increased energy production and consumption, and how new energy technologies like renewables end up creating more energy output, not less. Putting everything together, in outsourcing our decisions and planning to a market dependent on growth, we have not so metaphorically become an energy hungry superorganism. Finally, Daniel and Nate look forward to answering: What are ways for us to prepare for a post-growth economy? How can we stay balanced in the face of existential crises? What type of policy can help shape a future that is yet to arrive, and how can we get ahead?
San Diego County emergency rooms are being stretched to their limits. Meanwhile, hateful slurs have been found graffitied at the campus of San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas for the second time in only a few months, which marks the third of it's kind to occur at a San Dieguito Union campus this academic year. Then, we hear about a new kind of THC that has emerged in the past few years—it's called Delta 8. Next, the state legislature goes back to work to confront problems like the pandemic, homelessness, housing, and growing concerns about crime and passing a new state budget. Later, KPBS discusses Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez resigning from the state assembly to take a position with California's Labor Federation. Lastly, Digital Gym Cinema has changed locations and is set to reopen later this month with special Sundance Film Festival programming.
Welcome, this week's guest Ryan McGregor! Ryan is a podcast host, content creator, and performer. His day job is as a Flight Attendant so when he's traveling, he likes to experiment with making IGTV videos and taking photos. Personal qualities that he values include imagination, authenticity, respect, and ambition. He believes that if we have the courage to pursue it, we all have the potential to succeed. His appearance in a cow suit on the Netflix show Ginny & Georgia was one of the highlights of his background work. He's a carefree, laid-back person with a social media feed full of golden retriever puppies. Links below! Ryan and I begin by discovering that we are both fans of animals, leading into talking about how growing up was for both of us, and how Ryan decided to become a content creator as a career. He actually asked me a couple of questions throughout the episode, so I answer some questions as well, like about how homeschooling affected my mindset growing up and now. We talk about learning and becoming our own people in life and go deep on those topics. I share my 55th Vision Board success that hasn't been written down yet and we talk about manifestation for a bit. Then as we're discussing the potential that we all have and how there is an opposing force trying to stop us from achieving our potential, the power goes out for half a second and restarts my router. Hmmm... VERY interesting! After I saved off the first recording file we hop back on and finish up some of our thoughts and wrap up the episode. Thankfully the force that is for our good saved the file from the first 2 hours before the router issue! In this season I'm talking with my guests about their story and how they've been able to "rewrite their stars" in their own life. Then after they've shared their story we transition into talking about vision boards for a little bit and I share one of the successes that I've had. Again, why I'm sharing my successes with you is to show that you can do the same thing, to use a vision board yourself and that you can rewrite your stars in your own life. Also, if you want to be a guest on my podcast, then be sure to fill out this questionnaire so that we can see about making that a reality. Because there are so many stories of people rewriting their stars, and I want to share them! https://forms.gle/obKbT739sukbrWWE6 Thanks for listening!

This month’s topic of resilience speaks to your ability to rise from all of the challenges that life may serve you. In this interview Anne Grady and I speak about her personal and professional struggles, her recipes for resilience, and how mindset plays such an important role in finding the silver lining amidst difficulty and discomfort. If you find that you are being hard on yourself with all of the changes and uncertainties in today’s world, remember that success means growth. If you are learning and growing in each mindful moment, you are successful. Key Takeaways: [:01] Carley Hauck addresses climate changes, this month’s topic of resilience and her guest speaker and author Anne Grady. [5:20] What does conscious leadership mean to Anne? It starts with being present to the needs of your team and honoring your connections with individuals. [7:40] Resiliency is the new leadership currency, and the right team provides its members the physiological safety that is modeled by its leader. [13:00] Leaders have to experience setbacks as part of their success. Remember that the definition of success is growth. [16:24] Anne shares the life experiences and tools that have helped her develop a stronger, more resilient, and courageous inner game.

[44:25] We cannot heal our wounds if we are continually placing blame on other people. Ask yourself, “what am I putting out into the world? Am I perpetuating positivity or pain?” [50:22] The fundamental attribution error reminds us that we are all doing the best we can — giving people the benefit of the doubt will serve us all well.

Over 46 thousand lives lost to suicide in one year. For every 1 suicide there were 27 attempts. And Even more people had thoughts about suicide – what we call “suicidal ideation” it’s actually a fairly common human experience. Our mind goes off on a variety of thoughts all day long and it’s actually not uncommon for someone, at some point in their life, to experience a suicidal thought. The big difference is, when it does happen, what do you do with it?In order to make a significant and permanent change in preventing suicide, we need to address it from all aspects of our society. So we have partnered up with singer, songwriter, Alex Boye. Alex took his music and platform to the next level by creating Bend Not Break, a song and music video for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention. Alex and Dr. Alexis combine their skill sets to explore a creative form of suicide prevention – through songwriting and music industry outreach.

Ping Fu is an artist and a scientist whose chosen expression is business. She talks about the 3D imaging and 3D printing technology she created as co-founder of GeoMagic – and how from Invisalign braces to NASA space missions – she has “entrepioneered” the way products are designed and manufactured worldwide. Listen to why “Bend Not Break” is the mantra that’s guided her from the terror of gang rape in a Chinese prison to the fearless flow state of Burning Man.
Whoops, meant to say Episode 21, but you get the point. Moving plans are testing me, but I’m choosing to bend and not break.
Ping Fu is an artist and a scientist whose chosen expression is business. She talks to WINGS host Melinda Wittstock about the 3D imaging and 3D printing technology she created as co-founder of GeoMagic – and how from Invisalign braces to NASA space missions – she has “entrepioneered” the way products are designed and manufactured worldwide. Listen to why “Bend Not Break” is the mantra that’s guided her from the terror of gang rape in a Chinese prison to the fearless flow state of Burning Man.
Ping Fu knows what it’s like to be a child soldier, a factory worker, and a political prisoner. To be beaten and raped for the crime of being born into a well-educated family. To be deported with barely enough money for a plane ticket to a bewildering new land. To start all over, without family or friends, as a maid, waitress, and student.
