Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. This week, we explore why "friction" might be the secret to better judgment, the brutal reality of AI-driven layoffs at Block, and why your boss's 10:47 PM emails are exhausting your entire team. Plus, we dig into the science of whether leadership is written in your DNA.

What happens when the state infiltrates your most intimate relationships? How do we protect the innocence and imagination of children in an increasingly authoritarian world? “"If you have love, eventually you're going to win. It's not that people aren't going to die. It's not terrible things aren't going to happen. But if you stay with that and you stay centered in that, you'll get through and you will not have turned into a monster in order to overcome monsters.”My guest today is AL Kennedy. She is one of Britain's most acclaimed and versatile literary voices, a writer who can inhabit the internal life of a soldier in a POW camp, as she did in her Costa Book Award-winning novel Day, as easily as she can navigate the "professional lying" of a modern civil servant.Her latest novel, Alive in the Merciful Country, takes place during the 2020 lockdown. It tells the story of a primary school teacher who receives a confession from an undercover police officer who infiltrated her life decades earlier. It's a provocative investigation into state power, the "Spy Cops" scandal and the search for mercy in an age of surveillance. It's a book about the breakdown of trust. We talk about her life, her activism, and why she believes fiction is the only way to tell the truth when the facts are forbidden and how she balances the truth of her novels with the relief of stand-up comedy.(0:00) Finding Your VoiceOn the Alfred Wolfsohn voice method and the power of being fully expressed(2:17) Education and the Foundation of DemocracyThe dangers of dismantling education and how critical thinking protects us from fascism.(5:14) The Myth of Shrinking Attention SpansChallenging the narrative that modern audiences cannot focus, and the importance of engaging storytelling.(8:23) Reading from Alive in the Merciful CountryKennedy shares a passage from her latest novel, exploring hope and resilience in dark times.(17:45) The Spy Cop Scandal and State SurveillanceUnpacking the reality of undercover police infiltrating peaceful protests and intimate lives.(22:07) AI, Digital Slop, and the Loss of TrustReflections on artificial intelligence as an unstable plagiarism machine and its impact on truth.(28:29) The Power of the Powerless: Radical WhimsyHow absurdity, humor, and inflatable costumes can disrupt authoritarian mindsets and potential violence.(33:13) Lockdown: A Global Pause and the Inrush of EmpathyThe fleeting moment of unified humanity during the pandemic and how it was ultimately betrayed.(42:53) Writing Without Theft: The Ethics of Character CreationKennedy explains her imaginative process and why she refuses to steal details from real people's lives.(1:29:40) Nature, Spirituality, and the Merciful CountryFinding healing in the natural world and navigating the future with love and awareness.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

For decades, investor and business leader Steve Howard watched companies pour money and effort into sustainability initiatives ... and still fall short. The problem isn't a lack of will, he says; it's that capitalism and climate have been wired to work against each other. He shares four realities that explain why even well-intentioned businesses fail at climate action — as well as a plan to flip the system, making green innovation so powerful the market can't resist it. After, Modupe talks about why ignoring climate change isn't an option.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Last month, Gerard Reid joined Shayle Kann, Managing Partner at Energy Impact Partners, for a world class and fast-moving conversation on the state and future of Climate Tech.   The discussion was organised by Carbon Equity and led by its co-founder Liza Rubinstein Malamud.Originally it featured a third guest, Will Dufton of Giant Ventures, whose contributions were fully edited for this episode (with apologies — and an open invitation to return).  First strong statement: the Silicon Valley-style climate tech era of 2021–2022 is over. Gerard is clear that carbon removal and hydrogen, at least as they were framed and funded during the hype cycle, are effectively dead. What comes now is a far more grounded, infrastructure-driven view of the transition.  Both guests are emphatically bullish on energy and AI. Shayle especially sees climate tech not as a standalone vertical, but as a horizontal that cuts across the entire economy. Anything that supports electrification, datacenters, and energy-hungry digital infrastructure represents a major opportunity. Gerard pushes the horizon even further, imagining datacenters in space.  A central theme is the convergence of AI and the physical world. Shayle argues that as large language models become commoditised, value will move from bits to atoms — from software to real-world systems, infrastructure, and industrial processes. Gerard complements this with a strong emphasis on resilience, positioning it as a defining investment lens for the coming decade.  On batteries, there is rare and total agreement. Both see them as the most important technology of our time, underpinning electrification, grid stability, transport, and the scaling of renewables.  What emerges is an intense, wide-ranging exchange between two of the sharpest minds in the energy transition — a true Battle Royale on where climate, energy, and technology are heading next.  You can watch the hour-long video here: https://youtu.be/H5YE1Upe0JI?si=HlgHKFOOjZj8Gygp    

New Book: Climate Capital — Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future | An Interview with Tom Chi | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli What if the economy isn't broken — just badly designed? Tom Chi, Google X founding member, inventor of 77 patents, and venture capitalist at At One Ventures, joined me on An Analog Brain In A Digital Age to discuss his new book Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future. From the streets of Florence to the strip malls of Silicon Valley, from the mechanics of attention capture to the physics of ecological economics, this conversation goes far beyond climate. It's about how we design the systems we live inside — and whether we have the will to redesign them before it's too late.

Beware all carnivores... and yes, that includes all of us at Faith Unfiltered Podcast. Climate Brewing host, Susan Oxley sits down with Sally Eales to explore the connection between plant-based eating and the climate crisis. Moving beyond headlines about methane and “cow burps,” Sally unpacks the deeper environmental impact of industrial meat production—from land use to rainforest clearing—while grounding the conversation in faith, stewardship, and personal responsibility. This is not an all-or-nothing manifesto, but an invitation to thoughtful, incremental change: eat more plants, do your research, and pay attention to how your choices affect both your body and the planet. Honest about challenges—from Midwest breakfast meats to road-trip convenience stores—Sally offers practical wisdom, humor, and grace for anyone curious about reducing their climate footprint one meal at a time. Book mentioned by Sally Eales: The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health  by T.

With the threat of drilling in the arctic on the horizon in Trump 2.0, host Esty Dinur focuses today's show on the urgent threat of climate change with climate journalist Dana Drugmand. They discuss where we stand with current environmental policy in the US and Drugmand's reporting on climate change lawsuits that would hold corporations accountable. Drugmand says that the Trump administration's environmental policy changes have been “sweeping and unprecedented.” From the flurry of executive orders that Trump signed on his first day back in office to pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, the administration has changed policies and made new efforts to erase the science of climate change and attack clean energy projects. Most recently, the EPA rescinded the “endangerment finding” for greenhouse gasses, effectively eliminating the agency's ability to regulate emissions.  They also talk about the costliness of fossil fuels in comparison to clean energy, youth lawsuits like one in Wisconsin, and Drugmand's reporting on a Paris climate lawsuit against the company Total that could set a new precedent internationally.  Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Dana Drugmand is an independent climate and environmental journalist with a specialization in reporting on climate accountability and justice, including covering the rapidly growing and evolving space of climate litigation. She has a Master’s degree in environmental law and policy from Vermont Law School and resides in western Massachusetts. Her reporting has appeared in outlets like Sierra magazine, Inside Climate News, The New Lede, and DeSmog, and she also publishes her work on two start-up publications Climate in the Courts, and a Substack newsletter called One Earth Now.

In the inaugural episode of Editors in Conversation mBio edition, Marvin Whiteley speaks with Arturo Casadevall, infectious-disease physician-scientist, founding Editor in Chief of mBio, and a leading voice in fungal pathogenesis and scientific rigor. They explore how climate change may be reshaping the fungal kingdom, potentially eroding the thermal barrier that has historically protected humans from most fungal pathogens. Using Candida auris (C auris) as a case study, they discuss heat adaptation, antifungal resistance, and what climate change could mean for future outbreaks. The conversation also examines fungal pandemics in pop culture, the challenges of antifungal drug development, and the promise of vaccines and biotechnology. Fungi are both threat and ally in a changing world, and understanding them has never been more urgent.

Can Missionaries, Not Politics, Depolarize Climate Change for Christians?   Climate change isn't a partisan talking point—it's a discipleship test, and Brian Webb, a seasoned sustainability director and educator, joins Curtis Chang to make the case that climate ignorance hurts both the body of Christ and the world God made for our flourishing. From typhoons overseas to Lyme disease at home, Webb shows how climate change is already hurting real people—and why Christians can't shrug it off. Forget guilt and "change your light bulb" advice: Brian and Curtis lean into stubborn optimism and practical action for churches, workplaces, and local communities.   06:01 - A Faith Journey Becomes A Creation Care Story 08:23 - Creation Care and 1 Corinthians 12 14:06 - Connecting Climate Change Impact to Human Suffering  18:30 - The Problem of Warming From California Wildfires to Lyme Disease 33:35 - Examples of Institutional Action 39:10 - Measuring Institutional Progress 40:16 - Missionaries Sounding the Alarm  43:56 - Dealing with Discouragement and Stubborn Hope  50:01 - Series Wrap-Up and Final Takeaways   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Learn more about George Fox Talks Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   Mentioned In This Episode: Colossians 1:15-17 (ESV) 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (ESV) Read the Cape Town Commitment  Learn more about A Rocha USA Learn more about the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus The YWAM (Youth With A Mission) School of Sustainable Development Learn about the Christian Climate Observers Program (CCOP) Learn about Typhoon Haiyan survivor Marinel Ubaldo (Noble Women's Initiative) Tuvalu & the Pacific Conference of Churches Organizations Helping Tuvalu: Tuvalu Climate Finance Project  Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project Government of Tuvalu – Climate Change / projects portal   Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

Back in December,  the Trump administration sent thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into Minnesota. They terrorized communities, took people from their homes, and murdered two American citizens. Climate groups helped lead the resistance.  In this episode of A Matter of Degrees, a city stands up to state violence. We bring on Aru Shiney-Ajay, the executive director of the Sunrise Movement, to tell us about leading on the frontlines in Minneapolis. Then we talk to Ben Passer, the McKnight Foundation's Midwest Climate Director, about how preserving democracy is key to climate action. Finally, we chat with Emily Atkin, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HEATED, on the connection between ICE violence and fossil fuels.  Resources mentioned in the episode: Read I don't know how to do this and Actually, I do know how to do this by Emily Atkin, and her newsletter, HEATED Read Ben Passer's essay in Atmos, Lessons from Minnesota: To Preserve Our Planet, We Must Also Preserve Our Democracy Learn more about Minnesota's 100% clean electricity standard in our previous episode, Minnesota's Climate Breakthrough

Climate concern is not the problem. Most people have it. What's missing is everything that turns concern into action - and understanding that gap turns out to be a lot more complicated than it looks.This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson sit down with Lorraine Whitmarsh, Professor of Environmental Psychology and Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations at the University of Bath. Together they dig into the psychology behind catastrophe apathy: why understanding an existential threat doesn't always lead to action, and what the research says actually moves people.Lorraine shares real-world evidence - including renewable energy tariffs that shifted 90% of customers onto green power simply by making it the default - and explains why trusted everyday messengers, from hairdressers to taxi drivers, employers to community figures, often have more influence than expert voices in reshaping what feels normal.The conversation also revisits an uncomfortable history: how the personal carbon footprint, popularised by BP in the early 2000s, reframed climate responsibility around individual choices rather than systemic change. A framing so powerful that even environmental organisations adopted it. Who benefited most from that shift is a question the movement is still grappling with.If systemic change requires public consent, and public consent requires political will, and political will requires behaviour change - how do you break the climate Catch-22?With thanks to the University of Bath.Learn More:

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Jules Pretty, an Emeritus Professor of Environment and Society at the University of Essex. They discuss how storytelling can foster hope, transformation, and agency in the face of the climate crisis; why it's ineffective to use fear to drive change; and the vulnerability we need to move forward. Plus, hear about the producers turning down multi-million dollar offers to convert their farms into data centers, the companies supporting legislation to fight food waste, the decline of deforestation in Brazil, and more.  While you're listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.

Since the 1960s, global GDP has been rapidly rising and living standards have reached record highs. But something else has been rocketing up too – carbon emissions. For years, scientists and economists have been asking: is it possible to grow without heating and polluting the Earth? And as the climate becomes more unstable, the issue is only becoming more urgent. Madeleine Finlay hears from two economists arguing for a change in how we measure a country's success. Nick Stern is professor of economics and government at the London School of Economics and an advocate of green growth, an approach to growth that prioritises green industry. Jason Hickel is a political economist and professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona who advocates degrowth, shrinking parts of the economy that do not advance our social and ecological goals..

In this episode of The Derivative, host Jeff Malec talks with South African grain spread trader Bruce Sinclair (Brent Trading) about how he went from a farming background to running a spread-focused commodities program trading Chicago grains from a remote game farm in South Africa. Bruce explains, in plain language, how carry and calendar spreads work, why he believes spreads offer a more manageable risk profile than outright futures, and how he enforces a hard 10% annual drawdown limit for investors. They dig into the realities of global grain markets with Brazil, Argentina, China, and geopolitics in the mix, why commodities aren't the clean inflation hedge many think they are, and how climate and structural changes are reshaping seasonality. Bruce also shares stories from his off-grid life breeding rhinos and rare game, navigating South African politics and crime, and why he thinks 2026 could bring much more volatility to grain markets than 2025… SEND IT!Chapters:00:00-00:01:01= Intro01:02-12:34= From South African Farms to Grain Spreads: How Bruce Built His Ag Trading Edge12:35-24:22 = Carry Trades, Calendar Spreads, and Risk Rules: Inside Bruce's Grain Strategy24:23-33:15= Commodities, Inflation Myths, and the Soybean–Oil–Meal Puzzle33:16-46:03= Politics, Perception, and Life Off-Grid: Running a Trading Firm from Rural South Africa46:04-54:53= Weather, Brazil, and the Limits of Data: Why Bruce Still Trusts SpreadsFollow along with Bruce on LinkedIn and be sure to check out Brent Trading's website: brent.za.net!Don't forget to subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Derivative⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, follow us on Twitter at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rcmAlts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and our host Jeff at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AttainCap2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sign-up for our blog digest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026.

This week, Joanne welcomes master gardener Ingrid Janssen to the podcast to discuss the inspiring work being done by Little Forests Durham, a nonprofit organization focused on planting Miyawaki mini forests throughout Durham Region. About Little Forests Durham Little Forests Durham is a volunteer-run community non-profit organization based in Durham Region, Ontario, Canada, focused on giving tools, knowledge, and support to people, communities, organizations and local authorities to plant Little Forests in their neighbourhoods and communities. Topics Covered Ingrid's background as a Durham Master Gardener, seed collector, and advocate for native trees How Little Forests Durham was founded in 2024 and inspired by Little Forests Kingston What a Miyawaki mini forest is and how the method aims to compress forest succession into 20-30 years Why these forests are planted using dense layers of native trees and shrubs to mimic a natural forest community The importance of soil preparation, including cardboard, compost, and mulch to suppress weeds and build fungal-rich soil How sites are chosen through collaboration with municipal staff, parks departments, and local partners Why publicly accessible land is a priority for Little Forests Durham projects The logistics behind site prep, including access for trucks, compost delivery, mulch spreading, and volunteer coordination How volunteers help with planting days, often in large numbers, making it possible to plant hundreds of trees and shrubs in a short time Why planting design still matters, even in a more naturalized system, with careful placement of canopy trees, understory trees, and shrubs The realities of maintenance, including weeding, invasive species removal, tree protection, fencing, and monitoring for drought How mini forests help address climate change by increasing biodiversity, cooling urban spaces, and creating habitat for wildlife The role of partnerships with organizations such as Rotary Clubs, conservation authorities, Green Communities Canada, Greenbelt Foundation, and Trees for Life The group's ambitious goal of planting 30 mini forests by 2030 in Durham Region How listeners can support the effort through volunteering, joining the team, donating, or helping bring projects to their own communities The idea that homeowners can create smaller-scale versions in their own yards, known as pocket forests Ingrid's love of native trees, with a special mention of her flowering dogwood, grown from seed she collected herself Takeaways and Tips Mini forests do not require huge spaces. Even a small corner of a park or a backyard can support a meaningful planting. Native trees and shrubs matter. They support biodiversity, wildlife, and long-term ecological health. The Miyawaki method is about community. It brings together people, plants, fungi, wildlife, and local organizations in one shared effort. Good site access is essential. Successful projects need room for compost, mulch, tools, and tree delivery. Volunteer-friendly planning makes all the difference. Clear layouts and simple planting instructions help create a positive experience. Soil prep is key. Cardboard, compost, and mulch help suppress weeds and create better conditions for young trees to thrive. Maintenance matters. The first few years require protection from rabbits, trampling, invasive weeds, and possible drought. Climate action can be local. You don't have to wait for large systems to change. Communities can begin by planting trees where they live. Small efforts add up. Whether it is joining a planting day, donating materials, or creating a pocket forest at home, every action helps.

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges of our time; but diverse sources of knowledge may help us navigate it better. This was the thematic focus of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change workshops recently hosted at the University of Reading.In this live Q&A, Professor Jim Skea (chair of the IPCC) was joined by Rowan Sutton (Met Office), Sarah Honour (Dept. of Energy Security and Net Zero) and Professor Ed Hawkins (University of Reading) to discuss the role of indigenous voices, the withdrawal of the US from climate agreements, and the importance of making climate information accessible for future generations.This episode was recorded live on February 9, 2026, at the University of Reading.Find out more about the University of Reading, it's relationship with IPCC and how it has carved out a position at the heart of climate change conversations.Chapters:02:20 Why the IPCC is looking to involve diverse ‘knowledge systems'04:26 How the UK Government and Met Office work with the IPCC process09:35 What it's like to be a researcher involved in the IPCC report cycle 12:02 How the IPCC has evolved and how it might evolve in the next 40 years21:34 Audience question #1: Impact of the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement24:22 Audience question #2: How is the IPCC actively involving diverse voices? 26:35 Audience  question #3: How can young people make a positive impact in combatting climate change?

Drawing on his background in public health and government, Dr. Mallya explains why race-conscious strategies improve outcomes for everyone—and why pulling back from equity work creates greater risk for nonprofits than continuing it.According to Inside Philanthropy, RWJF was the first among the large national foundations to speak out in response to the Trump Administration's anti-racial justice efforts. Listeners will learn how RWJF has redefined what “risk” is in today's environment; why focusing on grantee safety is more productive than focusing on foundation fears; and what it looks like for philanthropic institutions to stay public, values-aligned, and effective when silence feels safer.Guest bio:Giridhar Mallya, is an MD, and Masters of Science Health Policy. He is a public health physician whose career spans government, philanthropy, and academia. His work leverages the power of public policy and community health interventions to shape the political, social, and economic determinants of health.He currently serves as Senior Policy Officer for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation where he leads a national initiative to defend racial equity, diversity, and inclusion in health and other sectors.Dr. Mallya was previously Director of Policy and Planning for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.

In this episode of the special series Crossing Thresholds, Maurice Bloem speaks with Hinauri Nehua-Jackson, a proud Māori–South Korean woman born in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and now based on Treaty 6 Territory in Canada. Hinauri introduces herself in her Indigenous language and shares the meaning of her spirit name, Kapiska Mahigan Isku Onitsigason — White Wolf Woman. From the beginning, it is clear: she walks consciously between lands, between cultures, between responsibilities. At age 11, she immigrated to Canada without knowing English. What she searched for was not language — but community. Indigenous elders on Turtle Island welcomed her as one of their own, reinforcing her belief that Indigenous solidarity transcends borders. At 16, during ceremony, her path became clear. Serving elders at Sundance, disconnected from technology and urban life, she experienced what she calls the joy of selfless service. That moment “flipped the switch” for her leadership journey. As a young Indigenous leader in oil-driven Alberta, she navigates the tension between economic systems and Indigenous teachings about land stewardship. For Hinauri, climate is not abstract policy — it is spiritual balance, interconnectedness (Wakotouin), and responsibility to seven generations.   This episode connects deeply with the JLI & Christian Aid report on Climate, Migration and Faith, reminding us that climate displacement is not only physical — it is spiritual, cultural, and intergenerational.   Hinauri does not speak for Indigenous peoples. She speaks as someone who carries her ancestors forward — across oceans. We hope that you enjoy this extra long episode with this inspiring young woman.   Learn more about the research behind this series: [link to JLI–Christian Aid report]   Listener Engagement: Learn more about Hinauri via her LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.

Has Britain entered a new ice age — or is it simply Tuesday in Cornwall?In this episode of Mark & Pete, we examine reports that Cardinham in Cornwall has experienced around 50 consecutive days of measurable rainfall, with nearby Liscombe on Exmoor also recording persistent winter deluges. Northern Ireland has likewise seen one of its wettest Januarys in recent memory. The wellies are weary. The umbrellas are questioning their calling.But what does it actually mean?We explore UK Met Office data, regional rainfall trends, and the difference between weather events and long-term climate patterns. Is this evidence of global cooling? Climate collapse? Or just Britain doing what Britain has historically done — namely, rain with commitment?We discuss:Cardinham and Liscombe rainfall recordsNorthern Ireland's unusually wet JanuaryThe science of winter precipitation in the UKClimate change vs short-term variabilityWhy human memory is spectacularly unreliable when it comes to weatherAlong the way, we ask a bigger cultural question: why do we turn meteorology into theology? Every storm becomes a sign. Every cold snap becomes a thesis. And every puddle becomes proof of something ideological.With Mark's original poetry and Pete's biblical reflection from Ecclesiastes, this episode offers calm commentary in a climate of overreaction.Because rivers have always run into the sea. And Britain has always been damp.Faith. Culture. Calm commentary — even when the forecast is dramatic.#MarkAndPete #Cornwall #Cardinham #Liscombe #NorthernIreland #UKWeather #ClimateDebate #BritishNews #MetOffice #ChristianPerspective

How do we generate the energy we need to meet the demands of consumption for the future? Any plans to meet future climate challenges and technological advancement will require not only sustainable sources of energy, but must also include the grid: our national transmission system that delivers energy to homes, businesses, data centers, and manufacturing. This week we're discussing the energy transmission network in the USA, including policy decisions, environmental impacts, land ownership, mineral demand, and the realities of an already overwhelmed grid. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Climate isn't “over.” But building in climate has entered a new chapter, defined by shifting regulation, politicized narratives, buyer confusion, and a market that funded dozens of overlapping platforms.In this episode, Andreas and co-host Carmel Rafaeli, Founding Partner at The Table, sit down with Lubomila Jordanova, Co-founder & CEO of Plan A, just weeks after Plan Ajoined forces with Diginex, the NASDAQ-listed sustainability technology company, at the end of 2025.The conversation is part of Leaders Shaping a Resilient Planet, a series spotlighting exceptional founders in climate tech who happen to be women. The focus is not identity as a theme, but execution as a discipline. These are operators building in some of the most complex and capital-intensive parts of the real economy.This is not an acquisition recap.

Particulate matter is, Michael Greenstone argues, the greatest public health threat on the planet. Worse than HIV, cigarettes, and alcohol. The average person  loses about two years of life expectancy to it. In India, the figure is three and a half years. The solution to this problem has been tested, and it works, at least in high-income countries.Greenstone and his co-authors ran a randomised controlled trial in Surat, Gujarat: from 300 industrial plants, mostly making textiles, all burning coal, half were randomly assigned to a market where pollution permits could be bought and sold. The results: in the market, pollution fell 25%, compliance was near-perfect, and abatement costs dropped 12%. The cost-benefit ratio is as high as 200 to one. Many plants in the control group asked to be moved into the market.The research behind this episode:Greenstone, Michael, Rohini Pande, Nicholas Ryan, and Anant Sudarshan. 2025.

His research focuses on the costs and benefits of environmental quality, including the Air Quality Life Index, which tracks the toll of particulate pollution country by country. He previously served as Chief Economist for the President's Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. Research cited in this episodeAir Quality Life Index (AQLI), Energy Policy Institute at Chicago. The source of the life-expectancy statistics used in this episode: particulate pollution costs the average person on Earth roughly two years of life expectancy, with India averaging three and a half years. The index tracks this burden country by country, city by city.The US sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade programme, established under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, was the canonical precedent Greenstone cited: a market that dramatically reduced acid rain in the eastern United States at costs far below pre-programme projections. He noted that the UK and EU have since built comparable CO2 markets. All have worked well. The question this experiment addressed was whether the same logic held in the developing world, where almost all the pollution now is.Emissions Market Accelerator. An independent scale-up organisation founded by Greenstone and colleagues to replicate the Gujarat model beyond the original research setting. Current pipeline: a statewide sulphur dioxide market for Maharashtra (including large power plants, not just textiles), and advanced conversations in Pakistan and Brazil.

If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it's the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who's spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying.

The climate freaks are making things up….again. Plus, we don't do this often, but let's check the voicemail for the show. I'm sure it will be normal and not unhinged.

"I believe in the power of people wishing to volunteer for initiatives rather than assignment of duties and responsibilities and having people feel as though it's a chore… (They) serve as champions in their areas to educate their fellow peers on what it means to be sustainable, what they can do that's in their power to contribute to the outcomes….And then as we started to become more mature…we formed structured committees, we leveraged those champions on the units to participate. We made it enjoyable in terms of participating. We actually have contests… (I)t just breeds excitement about sustainability and I think it just allows for a culture where people become engaged and part of the process." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Healthcare is a huge 18% of the economy and uniquely has to be caring well for patients and staff  24/7 every day while also vulnerable to extreme weather events itself. How do they do that, how do they cover those costs, and what can we all learn from them? Listen to Carol Gomes (pronounced like "homes"), CEO and COO of Stony Brook University Hospital in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        Their initiatives and systems to reduce energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions, waste and manage the significant hazardous waste a hospital generates. How "quality" is a mantra. ●        How they have engaged their people, building a unique culture, to embrace sustainability. ●        What Practice Green Health is and what other industries can learn from their data, analyses and sharing of best practices. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I would say use your voice sooner than later. And if you see something, say something. If you wish to express yourself and you have an opinion and you're sitting at a table, express it and don't be shy… I think also leveraging networking opportunities is really important and volunteering for a committee or stretching yourself a little more than you normally would, and exploring areas where you may feel you're not as strong and don't be fearful of that… building relationships is not text messaging. It's not leaving voice messages. It's talking face-to-face, getting to know people, what's important to them." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Under this coalition Government Ireland's climate ambitions are colliding with political reality. Hugh talks to Climate and Science Correspondent Caroline O'Doherty about how the current Government is retreating from its own climate legislation even as energy-hungry data centres multiply, agricultural emissions remain stubbornly high and extreme weather batters the country. From Europe's looming fines to the politics of wind farms, “herd culling” and airport expansion, they look at why Ireland is falling far short of its legally-binding 2030 targets and what that means for the future.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

What are the key drivers reshaping the development finance landscape Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Andrew McDowell, EIB Global Director General, the forces that are reshaping European development finance at a moment of geopolitical and climate-driven upheaval and how EIB Global is redefining its tools to fill gaps that markets and multilateral development banks aren't addressing.

Climate resilience is no longer a distant or abstract concern for businesses. From rising heat and water stress to supply chain disruption and higher operating costs, quieter climate impacts are already shaping how companies plan, invest, and compete.   In this episode of The Optimistic Outlook, Erika Gupta, Global Head of Sustainability at Siemens Financial Services, is joined by Harry Morrison, Partner at Bain & Company, to explore what resilience really means for business today. Together, they discuss how severe weather dynamics show up in day-to-day operations, why action often lags even when risks are well understood, and how better data, analytics, and AI are helping leaders see and respond to risk more clearly.   The conversation looks beyond risk avoidance to examine how resilience can strengthen performance, support long-term growth, and help organizations make better decisions.

Two Onc Docs, hosted by Samantha A. Armstrong, MD, and Karine Tawagi, MD, is a podcast dedicated to providing current and future oncologists and hematologists with the knowledge they need to ace their boards and deliver quality patient care. Dr Armstrong is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis. Dr Tawagi is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois in Chicago.In this episode, OncLive On Air® partnered with Two Onc Docs to highlight anticipated data from the upcoming 2026 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, noting presentations to watch at sessions on prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).For prostate cancer, the experts revealed that they're looking forward to seeing updated results from the phase 3 PEACE-3 trial (NCT02194842) of enzalutamide (Xtandi) plus radium-223 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), noting that bone-protecting agents are mandatory for patients receiving radium-223. They also pointed to overall survival data from the phase 2 BRCAAway trial (NCT03012321) of abiraterone (Zytiga) plus prednisone and olaparib (Lynparza) for patients with mCRPC harboring BRCA or ATM alterations. Additionally, they spotlighted the phase 3 PEACE 2 trial (NCT01952223), which explores moving chemotherapy into the localized prostate cancer setting.Regarding bladder cancer, they identified the phase 3 KEYNOTE-B15 trial (NCT04700124) as a potentially practice-changing trial evaluating perioperative enfortumab vedotin-ejfv (Padcev) plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in cisplatin-eligible patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. They also noted that circulating tumor DNA data are a significant trend, appearing in several clinical trials to guide response-adapted management.For RCC, the hosts highlighted the phase 3 LITESPARK-011 (NCT04586231) and LITESPARK-022 (NCT05239728) trials, which are evaluating the HIF-2α inhibitor belzutifan (Welireg) in different RCC populations. They also emphasized the importance of the CLIMATE study (ACTRN12622000247774) for detecting residual disease in patients with testicular cancer.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently announced it was rescinding the 2009 endangerment finding, the legal foundation for federal regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. The administration has called the move the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history. What does it actually do? And what happens next? On this episode of Stanford Legal, Professor Deborah Sivas, an expert in environmental law, joins co-host Pam Karlan to unpack the legal strategy behind the repeal, the role of recent Supreme Court decisions, and what's likely to unfold in the courts. Among other ramifications, they also explore California's authority to adopt its own, more aggressive emissions standards and what this latest move by the Trump administration signals for the future of federal climate regulation.

In this episode, Toby Belsom, Director of Guidance and Reporting at the PRI, is joined by James Alexander, CEO of UKSIF and Chair of the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance, and Mette Charles, ESG Research Lead at Aon Investment Consultants.Drawing on insights from the latest PRI reporting cycle, the largest ever, with over 4,200 signatories participating, the conversation explores what the data reveals about investor commitments, implementation challenges and emerging priorities across the responsible investment landscape.Together, they unpack how investors are navigating geopolitical shifts, regulatory divergence and systemic risks while translating sustainability commitments into meaningful action.OverviewThe latest PRI reporting data highlights five key themes:Reporting still matters, even amid political turbulenceClimate remains the dominant focus across signatoriesGlobal agreements such as the Paris Agreement continue to shape frameworksTranslating commitments into action remains challenging“Value creation” is increasingly used to justify sustainability activityThe discussion reflects on how these trends are playing out across regions and what they mean for asset owners and managers.Detailed coverageClimate remains kingClimate continues to dominate investor priorities, driven by financial materiality and systemic risk. Progress is uneven, and asset owners face constraints linked to policy uncertainty and limited investable opportunities.Global agreements and policy divergenceWhile some governments are stepping back from global commitments, many investors remain anchored to frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and standards like the ISSB. The episode explores tensions created by fragmented regulation.From commitments to meaningful actionMoving from commitments to real-world impact remains difficult. Barriers include data gaps, short-term incentives, regulatory inconsistency and limited scalable opportunities.Emerging themes: nature, AI and physical riskNature-related risk is rising up the agenda, though methodologies remain complex. The discussion also touches on AI-related ESG risks and growing physical climate risk.Human rights and social riskModern slavery, working conditions and gig economy risks remain key issues, with supply chain transparency a continuing challenge.Regional contrastsEurope is reassessing regulation, the US is navigating political shifts, while Japan and Australia are advancing disclosure and fiduciary guidance.Asset owner powerAsset owners, as long-term capital providers exposed to systemic risks, are positioned to shape markets and align sustainability with value creation.To find out more about PRI reporting data, visit our blog.Chapters00:00 – Introduction: insights from PRI reporting data01:25 – Five key themes from the latest reporting cycle06:26 – Global agreements, geopolitics and investor confidence10:07 – Climate leadership, ambition and data challenges13:13 – Nature, AI and emerging ESG priorities15:52 – Barriers to turning commitments into action20:28 – Regional divergence and regulatory shifts25:09 – Asset owners vs managers: alignment and tension26:51 – Human rights, modern slavery and social risk29:44 – Reflections and hopes for 2026DisclaimerThis podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

Caring for God's Creation: How Evangelical Christians Are Embracing Climate ActionAcross the United States, evangelical Christians are increasingly forging a connection between faith and climate action by redefining environmental work as a sacred duty to care for God's creation. By understanding sustainability through the lens of biblically mandated stewardship, more and more Christians are discovering renewed hope and purpose in addressing climate change.What Is Creation Care?To many evangelical environmentalists, caring for the Earth is not a political act. Rather, it is a spiritual duty. They believe that how we treat the planet should reflect how God treats us: with compassion, responsibility, and reverence. That means resisting the exploitation of natural resources and instead treating the Earth as a divine gift entrusted to humanity. Historically, however, environmentalism and climate science have been viewed as controversial in conservative Christian circles, seen as secular or partisan issues. But that perception is beginning to shift, thanks in part to young leaders and faith-based environmental advocates who are reframing climate action as a moral and theological imperative.Faith in ActionOne of those young leaders is Becca Boyd, a student at Indiana Wesleyan University studying Environmental Science. Raised in a Christian home, Becca often felt her environmental concerns were dismissed and even challenged. Feeling unhead, she began to experience a crisis of faith, questioning both her faith and her place in the church. Everything changed when she was introduced to the concept of creation care in college by her professors. For the first time, she saw how her love for the environment and desire to protect it could be an act of faith rather than in conflict with it.A Theology of HopeLike many young people in the climate action space, Becca has felt overwhelmed by the constant sense of “doom and gloom.” The narrative that it's too late to fix the damage can leave people in despair and feeling helpless. But creation care offers her a more hopeful, spiritually grounded mindset. Rather than dwelling on what's broken, Becca focuses her energy on healing what's still possible. For Becca, environmental stewardship is now a form of worship: small acts like conserving energy, recycling, or planting a pollinator garden at her school are ways of honoring God.  And by inviting others to do the same, she's helping grow a climate movement rooted not in fear but in faith and hope for the future.Choosing Words That Open DoorsThrough her advocacy, Becca has learned that the language you use to talk about climate issues matters, especially in Christian spaces. The word “climate” itself can be politically charged and can trigger defensiveness, while terms like “creation care” and “eco-theology” feel more rooted in faith and shared values. She is also intentional about her tone, making a point to avoid “you” statements. Rather than telling people what they should do, Becca shares what she does and why. This approach opens the door to conversation rather than closing it. According to Becca, it's about meeting people where they are and establishing a common ground — inviting them in, not calling them out. The Challenges AheadCreation care is still a growing movement, and while it's gained traction in places like Indiana, there's still a long way to go. Climate science skepticism and misinformation continue to circulate in many conservative communities. But Becca and other young Christians are starting vital conversations in churches and on campuses, emphasizing climate change as a humanitarian issue: one that affects food security, public health, and the lives of future generations.  She also shares resources like Cowboy & Preacher, a documentary tracing the history of Christian environmentalism, to show that this movement isn't new, and that faith and climate action have long been intertwined. About Our GuestBecca Boyd is a rising senior at Indiana Wesleyan University studying Environmental Science. She is a Climate Advocate for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA) and previously served as a College Fellow. On campus, she launched a student sustainability club and helped lead campus-wide conversations about the intersection of faith and environmental responsibility. She was recently featured in The New York Times for her work advancing Indiana's growing creation care movement.ResourcesYECA, Young Evangelicals for Climate ActionCowboy & Preacher, Cowboy & PreacherFurther ReadingThe New York Times, In Indiana, Putting Up Solar Panels Is Doing God's WorkNBC News, Evangelical environmentalists push for climate votes as election nears: 'Care for God's creation'American Conservation Coalition, An Environmental Education: What a Christian Environmental Ethic Looks LikeFor a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/creation-care-with-becca-boyd/.

Climate United Fund v. Citibank, N.A.

North Dakota State Climatologist Daryl Ritcheson joins the show for his annual check-in about the climate (our fourth???) - He and Jacob revisit last year's forecast misses and hits before diving into 2026. They explore the transition from La Niña to El Niño, implications for U.S. agriculture, hurricane risk in the Gulf, and crop prospects in South America and the Black Sea. The discussion then widens into a candid debate over sea level rise, extreme weather trends, and climate data interpretation... Highlighting disagreements, long-term cycles, and the importance of questioning assumptions in an era of clickbait and politicized climate narratives.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Welcome(01:40) - Forecast Scorecard(04:02) - Federal cuts & the National Weather Service(06:52) - AI in meteorology(09:18) - Weather hype, clickbait, and short public memory(13:17) - 2026: La Niña fading, El Niño on deck(14:39) - Atlantic hurricane outlook for 2026 (Gulf Coast focus)(19:32) - Heartland & farm belt forecast(22:30) - West vs. Rockies(24:30) - Global Ag weather(27:44) - Black Sea outlook(29:34) - 1.5°C Threshold: What the Recent Record Heat Means(34:26) - Satellites vs. Tide Gauges(35:48) - Glaciers, Natural Cycles & Past Warm Periods(37:25) - Extreme Weather Claims(40:09) - Tornado Trends & the Problem of Short Data Windows(42:41) - What Actually Keeps Daryl Up at Night(44:50) - Depoliticizing Climate Talk(49:12) - India & the Monsoon(52:22) - Trusted Data Sources, Raw Data, and “Weather Rhymes”--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Delta Futures: Time, Territory, and Capture on a Climate Frontier (U California Press, 2025) explores the competing visions of the future that are crowding into the Bengal Delta's imperiled present and vying for control of its ecologically vulnerable terrain. In Bangladesh's southwest, development programs that imagine the delta as a security threat unfold on the same ground as initiatives that frame the delta as a conservation zone and as projects that see the delta's rivers and ports as engines for industrial growth. Jason Cons explores how these competing futures are being brought to life: how they are experienced, understood, and contested by those who live and work in the delta, and the often surprising entanglements they engender - between dredgers and embankments, tigers and tiger prawns, fishermen and forest bandits, and more. These future visions produce the delta as a “climate frontier,” a zone where opportunity, expropriation, and risk in the present are increasingly framed in relation to disparate visions of the delta's climate-affected future. Jason Cons is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Sensitive Space: Fragmented Territory at the India-Bangladesh Border (2016, University of Washington Press).

It is always a bit funny to think that billionaire industrialists who built their fortunes by tearing apart the Earth to extract its resources are now magically somehow devoted environmentalists determined to save the world from the horrors of the life-giving gas known as carbon dioxide.The biggest scam of the 21st century will be the climate change hoax, so get ready because the topic is never going to go away during our lifetimes. The amount of carbon tax money that is available in the future is staggering, and the person leading the charge comes from a very well-known political family that always seems to be around government grifts. Her position inside the United Nations is a signal to the world that the climate scam is moving into a new phase that will require massive amounts of disinformation to hide the truth, as well as a public relations campaign to convince the world that the sky is falling.—Video ChannelsWatch the video version of Macroaggressions:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcastBrighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channels/macroaggressions/—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.ioMerch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilySign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.comNatural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://GroundLuxe.com/MACROReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comAnarchapulco: https://Anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.ShopC60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://ChemicalFreeBody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://Macroaggressions.Gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comEMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macroAbove Phone: https://AbovePhone.com/macro/Van Man: https://VanMan.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://DollarVigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://AugasonFarms.com/MACRO—
