Private Space Enterprise, Artemis Debate, and the Human Body in Space. Bob Zimmerman (Behind the Black) reviews the private space sector, highlighting VAST, which is developing the small manned demo space station Haven One using its own investment capital, unlike other NASA-funded consortiums. VAST's larger planned station, Haven 2, is designed to rotate, creating artificial gravity. This capability is crucial for mitigating the damage extended weightlessness causes the human body, such as cardiovascular weakening, bone density loss, and vision problems (the eye flattens). Zimmerman notes the ongoing debate over NASA's Artemis program, where former administrators clash over SpaceX's ability to build the lunar lander on time, often driven by lobbying interests. He also reports that China recently set a new national record for successful launches in a single year (67 completed). 1954

Developing strong, lifelong social bonds helps slow biological aging by influencing how your genes, immune system, and stress hormones function People with higher "cumulative social advantage," meaning consistent emotional support throughout life, show younger cellular profiles on aging clocks like GrimAge and DunedinPACE Those with rich social connections have lower levels of inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration Social isolation not only accelerates aging but also contributes to nutrient deficiencies, with lonely older adults showing lower intake of magnesium, potassium, vitamins B6 and C, and folate Rebuilding connection, such as through community, shared meals, and meaningful daily interactions, restores biological balance, lowers inflammation, and supports longer, healthier living

The other day I found myself walking through a parking garage stairwell in Iowa City, and I realized they were using the same scent design as the local mall in Bratislava where we used to live. Half-shocked, half-amused, I climbed the cement stairs as I remembered riding the escalator through the same subtle scent cloud two years ago. The memory was visceral. Though we don't always think about it, our sensory experiences have a strong impact on how we feel and how we work. I do my best work in a situation where I feel comfortable. In fact, I generally prefer not to work at home because step one, for me, to working at home is often to clean the entire house, put music on, light a candle, pick flowers, make tea, etc. and so I spent an hour prepping to work before I do anything. I bet you've already put considerable time and effort into making your classroom a space where you feel comfortable and where students feel welcome. Today isn't about changing any of that; it's just about finding small places where you might be able to tune your sensory dashboard in class to make it work even better for you and your kiddos. By thinking specifically about the five senses - just like we have students do in their writing - you can find easy wins to make the workspace more welcoming, energizing, and comfortable for everyone inside.

This week we welcome London-based interior designer Nicola Harding to the show to discuss her latest book "Homing Instinct." Nicola—whose work spans boutique hotels, restaurants, and royalty—shares her unconventional path into design, the influence of garden design on her interiors, and her human-led approach to layouts, color, and pattern. Listen to discover Nicola's strategy for finding a home's "spirit" by listening to people and place; she also recounts a church-to-restaurant conversion, a vivid Italian project rich in terracottas and dusty reds, and the practical origins of her furniture and homewares line, all underscored by a commitment to craftsmanship and locally made materials. Key Takeaways: Prioritize how people live: start with layout and create human-scaled “places” (cozy corners, pools of light) before decorating. Use color boldly and early—paint is a low-cost, high-impact tool; layer similar tones for depth and mood. Treat stripes/checks and scaled repeats as neutral texture; mix scales and tonal variants for harmony. Favor natural pigments, vintage fabrics, and local craftsmanship; design furniture to solve real project needs.

Another exciting one off special show for you! Nathan Gynn is joined by James Handscombe to explore all things curiosity in learning, the topic of his new book "Cabinet of Curiosity - Creating a Superpower". "Curiosity is a superpower: the more curious you are, the more questions you ask, the more answers you get, the more you know, and the more that further stimulates curiosity. The pay-off is both the knowledge that is acquired(and knowledge, of course, is power) - and that virtuous circle. Unfortunately, schools, qualifications and curricula are not always set up to encourage curiosity (and there are ways in which they actually discourage it). The book covers some of the challenges encountered in trying to teach curiosity together with outlining a course that the author has designed and used to kick start that cycle of questioning" Get your copy of the book here: https://www.hachettelearning.com/teaching-strategies/cabinet-of-curiosity

Bjørndal It is difficult to imagine a role in homeopathy, natural medicine, and integrative health that ANB has not held. For more than four decades, he has been at the very center of the profession—locally, nationally, and internationally. He founded and led two of the most respected multidisciplinary clinics in Oslo, bringing together more than 20 practitioners across traditional, alternative, and integrative medicine. At the same time, he was a pioneer in education, serving for nearly two decades as Educational Director at the Norwegian Academy of Natural Medicine (NAN), where he shaped curriculum, developed innovative approaches to learning, and guided the majority of homeopaths, naturopaths, and veteropaths in Norway. He has been a teacher of virtually every aspect of homeopathy and naturopathy—ranging from materia medica and clinical practice to philosophy of science, rhetoric, and therapist development—for more than 40 years. Internationally, he has been a tireless ambassador of the field. As Chairperson of the Norwegian Association of Homeopaths, the European Council of Classical Homeopathy, and the International Council of Classical Homeopathy, he has not only led but also initiated many of the most important organizational and professional structures we take for granted today. He helped establish the first European guidelines for homeopathic education, guidelines that are now recognized globally as the standard. His honorary membership in the Norwegian Association of Homeopaths reflects a lifetime of service to the professional community. As a lecturer and course instructor, he has been invited around the world for more than four decades, holding seminars on homeopathy, integrative medicine, philosophy, self-development and spirituality. He has trained healthcare professionals—including medical doctors and nurses—on the role of homeopathy in patient care, and his advanced training programs for practitioners have influenced generations of therapists. Beyond medicine, he has guided groups through self-development processes, spiritual initiations, and even journeys of initiation in Egypt. ANB has also contributed at the policy and research levels. He served on the Norwegian government's Aarbakke Committee, which laid the groundwork for the Act on Alternative Treatment, and on the Ministry of Health's working group on private import of medicines. He has published extensively—hundreds of articles in Norwegian and international journals in print and online, as long-standing contributions to the The Magic Happens Magazine and his own site Holonity. He has conducted frontier research both regarding methodology as well as exploring the healing potential of close to 200 new homeopathic remedies. In short, ANB's career encompasses the whole spectrum of homeopathy: practitioner, teacher, researcher, author, international spokesperson, and organizational leader. He has carried the field forward with vision, dedication, and a rare ability to connect the scientific, the practical, and the spiritual dimensions of healing in an inspirational and unified way that makes it easy to understand and apply.

Today on Consuming the Craft, I sat down with Brian Simpson, CEO of Riverbend Malt House, to explore the fascinating evolution of craft malt in the southeast. We covered Riverbend's journey from a modest basement setup in 2010 to a dynamic operation producing unique and locally sourced malts for breweries and distilleries across the country. I poured Brian a special whiskey from Oak and Grist, made with peach wood smoked pilsner malt from Riverbend, sparking a deep dive into the nuances of smoked malts, wood selection, collaboration with local farmers, and the influence of southern terroir on flavor. We discussed industry trends, new grain varieties, regulatory changes, and the powerful role of innovation in the craft beverage scene. Brian Simpson is at the helm of Riverbend Malt House, the pioneering Asheville-based craft maltster dedicated to bringing local grains into the hands of southern brewers and distillers. Since 2010, Brian has led Riverbend's transformation, supporting research efforts, working with breeders and farmers, and experimenting with new malting techniques and materials. Riverbend's malts have contributed to award-winning beers and spirits, and Brian's passion for innovation continues to drive the industry forward—whether it's through peach wood smoked whiskey, custom malt batches, or supporting the next wave of craft beverages. “We really only had six row barleys... mostly for animal feed. Our whole ‘malt with a mission' was to bring agriculture back into craft beer.” ~Brian Simpson This Week on Consuming the Craft: · Riverbend Malt House started in 2010, initially focusing on proving craft malt could be made from southern-grown grains.· The region's transition from only animal-feed barley to diverse, high-quality brewing and distilling varieties involved close partnerships with breeders and farmers.· Smoking malt with different woods, such as peach wood, creates uniquely Southern flavor profiles, especially in spirits and specialty beers.· Collaborations, like Oak and Grist's peach wood-smoked whiskey, showcase the power of local malt and creative partnerships.· The craft malt industry is watching for regulatory trends, including the potential U.S. adoption of glycosidic nitrile limits and concerns about ethyl carbomate.· There's growing demand in the south for distillers' malt, high-enzyme, fast-fermentation varieties suitable for whiskey production.· New and alternative grains like Kernza, millet, and buckwheat present technical challenges but offer gluten-free options and environmental benefits.· The craft beverage industry's best chance for survival lies in providing experiences, agility, and inventive offerings rather than just chasing trends.

Wycliffe Barsa is the co-founder and CEO of Kosi Africa, an ambassador for the Global Play Brigade, and a graduate of the East Side Institute's flagship program, the International Class. Here he shares his journey from living on the streets as a child to his work today promoting and transforming education in Kenya, and, in the process, developing young leaders as visionaries who will return to their communities to help them generate new possibilities. What makes Kosi different from most non-profits is, Barasa says, is sustainability. Instead of relying on outside money, when Kosi approaches a school, it does a Resource Audit, asking the school what sort of resources do you have and how can we work with you, the parents and the larger community, using those resources, to together solve these problems? “We're not there to help the community; we're there to work with the community,” he explains. Pointing out that in English “Kosi” means “Go” or “Keep Moving,” Barasa continues, “Development is how the whole community comes together to move and grow and create power.” https://kosiafrica.org/ ----more---- Welcome to All Power to the Developing, a podcast of the East Side Institute.

We hope that this podcast series will show you that, far more than a slogan, “all power to the developing” is a loving activity, a pulsing heart in an all too cruel world. ----more---- The East Side Institute is a hub for a diverse and emergent community of social activists, thought leaders, and practitioners who are reigniting our human abilities to imagine, create and perform beyond ourselves—to develop.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
Do we even realize that we're creating a life based on what other people like, instead of our own preferences? I loved this casual, relatable conversation with Courtney Florey of Declutter & Dwell to explore a surprisingly powerful way to prevent clutter before it starts: Getting clear on your personal preferences. Together, we unpack: Why developing contentment is key to simplifying your home and your habits Practical actions to uncover what you truly love (beyond trends or what others say you “should” like) How knowing your preferences helps you make confident decisions when shopping or decorating My somewhat embarrassing story of subconsciously making purchases to impress the internet—and how cutting back on sharing my family revealed this underlying motivation This episode is a reminder that a clutter-free home doesn't just come from organizing better—it starts with knowing yourself better.

The next one will be out soon too and was recorded during the same week.I loved chatting with Freddie. We had fun and he shared a lot of wisdom along the way. Personally, I've started going through the journal he and his brother sell and think that journaling, in some form everyday, is the way to go. It is a form of mindfulness and can really compliment another practice.

This week on Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy and her Director of Operations, Michelle Arant, sit down for an unscripted conversation that captures leadership in its most human form. What started as a casual team discussion turned into a powerful reflection on how we handle discomfort, accountability, and growth — both in business and in life. Through the lens of a lighthearted story about a pet sitter, Kris and Michelle explore how everyday moments can reveal our relationship with responsibility and self-management. They discuss the tendency to over-accommodate others, the generational shifts in resilience and follow-through, and why true leadership demands that we get comfortable being uncomfortable. Their conversation is an honest reminder that friction isn't failure — it's feedback. Whether you're mentoring a new hire, raising kids, or running a multimillion-dollar company, the path to better leadership begins with allowing discomfort to do its work. Here's what we explore in this episode: How discomfort helps us build capacity for growth and leadership The difference between supporting someone and over-accommodating them Why avoiding friction can unintentionally stunt development — for ourselves and others How leaders can model resilience and self-accountability through their own behavior What small, everyday moments can reveal about how we handle responsibility Why embracing discomfort may be the most undervalued leadership skill of all This conversation invites you to pause and ask: Where am I protecting others — or myself — from the very discomfort that could lead to growth?
