On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Jesse and Leo, co-founders of Maitri, a social infrastructure project focused on fostering interoperability between different social media applications. They explore the limitations of current social networks, the importance of community graphs in building trust and reputation, and how to create a digital environment that prioritizes meaningful human connection over algorithmic engagement. The conversation also touches on AI, reputation systems, decentralized governance, and the future of online coordination in an era of increasing technological acceleration. For more about their work, visit maitri.network.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:13 Founding My Tree: The Vision and Mission01:10 Challenges with Current Social Media02:50 Building Community Graphs04:13 Philosophical Insights on Social Relationships08:32 Interoperability and Technical Aspects13:44 AI and the Future of Social Media23:47 The Philosophy of Reputation28:44 Balancing Inclusivity and Exclusivity29:30 Building Reputation Systems31:16 Financializing Behaviors and Social Media32:24 Open Source and Competitive Benchmarking33:25 Privacy and Positive Attestations44:08 Future of Media and Group Identity53:11 Coordination and Governance Challenges56:15 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsKey InsightsInteroperability is the Key to Social Media's Future – Jesse and Leo emphasize that current social media platforms operate as isolated silos, preventing users from seamlessly interacting across networks. Maitri is designed as a social infrastructure project that enables interoperability between platforms, allowing for greater connectivity, user control, and shared network effects. Instead of monopolies controlling engagement, they envision a future where smaller, more specialized communities can thrive while remaining interconnected.Community Graphs Offer a More Nuanced Approach to Social Identity – Unlike traditional social graphs that focus on one-to-one relationships, community graphs provide a richer representation of how people engage within groups. These graphs account for the “fuzziness” of social membership, acknowledging that participation in a community is often subjective and context-dependent. This system aims to better reflect how humans naturally form trust and reputations within various groups.Reputation Systems Should Be Positive, Subjective, and Competitive – One of the key challenges in designing digital reputation systems is avoiding the pitfalls of social credit scores. Maitri's approach ensures that reputations are built through private, positive attestations rather than public negative ratings. This system mirrors real-world trust-building, where individuals accumulate credibility over time rather than being permanently defined by past mistakes. Additionally, by allowing multiple reputation frameworks to compete, users maintain agency over how they are evaluated.AI and Automation Will Radically Reshape Online Interaction – With AI-driven bots increasingly indistinguishable from humans, the internet is at risk of becoming an overwhelming space filled with automated engagement. Jesse and Leo highlight that while AI can be useful, there must be clear distinctions between human and non-human interactions. Maitri's reputation infrastructure could help address this challenge by providing proof of unique personhood, allowing people to differentiate between trusted human connections and AI-driven entities.Decentralized Coordination is a Crucial Missing Layer of the Internet – One of the biggest problems facing humanity is the failure to coordinate effectively. Traditional institutions and digital platforms have struggled to balance inclusivity with exclusivity, leading to either centralization or fragmentation. By creating digital primitives that allow for more efficient coordination—whether through financial incentives, reputation mechanisms, or group dynamics—Maitri aims to provide tools that help people organize at scale without relying on monopolistic control.The Future of Media is Many-to-Many, Not One-to-Many – The era of mass culture driven by television and radio, where everyone consumed the same media at the same time, is fading. Instead, we are moving toward a more fragmented but dynamic landscape where smaller communities cultivate their own cultural moments. While this shift eliminates shared cultural touchpoints, it allows for greater diversity of thought and expression. Curation and trust-based networks will become increasingly important as content continues to proliferate.Balancing Privacy, Identity, and Accountability is the Next Digital Challenge – The conversation highlights the ongoing tension between privacy and accountability in online spaces. While anonymous or pseudonymous interactions can protect free speech, they can also enable bad actors. Maitri's approach seeks to give users control over their identities by enabling flexible, context-dependent personas rather than enforcing a single, rigid identity. This allows for a balance between protecting privacy and maintaining trust in online interactions.

In this conversation, Joanne Avison interviews Shane McDermott, an advanced practitioner, photographer, therapist, and explorer, often referred to as a “contemporary renaissance man”. They introduce the essential difference it makes to understand the human body beyond anatomy - and into archetypes - over time. To begin, they reminisce about meeting 25 years ago while teaching for Tom Myers and reflect on their time training with Caroline Myss, when she first taught Sacred Contracts (Archetypes) in person. Joanne and Shane delve into the transformative impact of understanding archetypes on body work therapy, emphasizing the way we understand time and how it is linked so closely to our life force. When we think we are time bound - we can operate at a level that keeps us on the “hamster wheel”. When we know how our archetypes work, in time, we can access deeper states of being and healing. It is a wonderful introduction to the series on Space and Time that's coming up soon.

Are you stuck in the money hamster wheel, working hard but never feeling like you're getting ahead? It doesn't have to be that way!

Today our guest is Amanda Rae, host of YouTube channel by the same name and former member of the Kingston Clan, or the Order, a polygamist group in Utah, not to be confused with the FLDS. Some of you may remember our previous guest Priscilla from the same group - both of these gals were on Escaping Polygamy. Amanda's going to tell us who the Kingstons are, how many mothers she had, and the principle of “pure Kingston blood” that led to people sometimes intermarrying with relatives - some of whom were underage girls. She'll tell us about how her 2 years at public school helped her think critically about the differences between what the cult SAID about outsiders and people of color - versus the reality that they were just normal people, how children as young as 9 are sent to work after school, and why the day she left began with a physical altercation with a grown man in the group.

Global Agile Summit Preview: How to Escape the Agile Doom Loop with Pete Oliver-Krueger and "Agile Mike" Dougherty In this BONUS Global Agile Summit preview episode, we explore the concept of the "Agile Doom Loop" with Pete Oliver-Krueger and Michael "Agile Mike" Dougherty, co-authors of "Shift: From Product to People." They share insights on recognizing when teams are stuck in endless cycles of planning, failure, and rework, and introduce their PAGES framework that helps teams break free and communicate effectively with leadership. Recognizing the Agile Doom Loop "When change doesn't happen and there is nothing that seems to go anywhere, that's when you know you're in that doom loop, because we're all about improving." The Agile Doom Loop is that dreaded feeling when teams get stuck in endless cycles with no real progress. Michael explains that a clear indicator is feeling "stuck in a rut" where the status quo becomes permanent. When teams are constantly planning and executing without seeing improvement, they're trapped in the loop. This often happens when organizations lack psychological safety, making people afraid to speak up or try new approaches because it might be "career limiting." Warning Signs Your Team is Stuck "Most teams can't tell me what leadership wants. They're like, 'Oh, we just have to get the product done' or 'We have to deliver by this particular date.'" Pete shares that when teams can't articulate what leadership truly wants, it's a warning sign. Teams stuck in the doom loop focus solely on delivering more stories without understanding the broader context or purpose. They don't track whether their improvements are actually solving problems that matter to leadership. When teams feel they have no choice but to follow orders without questioning, they've lost the agency needed for continuous improvement. Personal Experiences with the Doom Loop "I've been fired for trying to change things more than once." Both Pete and Michael share personal experiences with the Agile Doom Loop. Michael shares the story of being in environments where people were afraid to be visible during meetings, keeping cameras off during virtual sessions out of fear of judgment. He describes seeing teams resist new ideas unless they came from management, showing how hierarchical thinking reinforces the doom loop. Communication breakdowns between leadership and teams create disconnects that feed the cycle of frustration and stagnation. The PAGES Framework "We basically took what we have to put in these quarterly business reviews and said to teams: 'This is how you're being represented at the organizational level, so you should participate in this.'" Pete introduces their PAGES framework, which helps teams break out of the doom loop by teaching them to communicate in "leadership language." While the acronym doesn't appear explicitly in their book, all elements are present. The framework focuses on: Problems being solved Actions being taken Goals being pursued Evidence being collected Solutions that demonstrate value This approach bridges the communication gap between teams and leadership by creating a shared language focused on business outcomes rather than just activities. Implementing PAGES for Team Motivation "We can't boil the ocean. With 500 people, it's hard to change all at once, so we started with one team that became the catalyst." Michael explains their implementation strategy of starting with a single team and using their success to spread change organically. By creating metrics and dashboards that leadership could access in real-time, they reduced the need for constant status meetings. Leadership could see progress happening, which built trust and created space for teams to work more autonomously. The result was a shift from delays and frustration to timely delivery of what truly mattered to customers. One Tip to Start Right Away "My first tip would be to go Problems first. Think about what problem you want to see go away and don't introduce anything unless it's going to directly affect that problem." Pete recommends focusing on problems before solutions, particularly identifying recurring patterns that prevent teams from achieving goals. He suggests prioritizing problems and addressing them one by one, starting with problems the team cares about to build buy-in, then tackling leadership problems. This creates a virtuous cycle of solving team and leadership problems alternately, building trust and momentum. Michael adds that building trust is essential - find low-hanging fruit that shows quick wins, share relevant stories from past successes, and collect evidence that demonstrates progress. He references the book "Atomic Habits," suggesting teams should start small with changes that are easy to maintain rather than attempting massive transformations that might overwhelm them. In this segment, we refer to the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. About Pete Oliver-Krueger and "Agile Mike" Dougherty Pete Oliver-Krueger is an Executive Coach with the Library of Agile, and co-author of the book "Shift: From Product to People", a novel that tells the complex story of how leading "people-first" is required to solve tomorrow's biggest problems.

Being cornered is often a place where we learn the most. When the Israelites were about to cross the Red Sea, they realized that Pharaoh and his army were coming to stop them. In this message from Exodus 14, Pastor Lutzer encourages us to trust in God when there's no easy, obvious solution. Are we crying out to God in our predicaments?

Just when we thought we had exhausted our language and usage outrage, we stumble upon a new wave of pronunciation changes that has crept up and caught us napping in our rocking chairs. So that's the big news, but we also have Snappers, more from the world of Artificial Intelligence, some food reports from nearby eateries we've visited, another car oil change PSA, an introduction to Lifting Straps (which given our demographic I initially thought might be just sock garters, but thankfully not), and discussion with KJ about his recent very successful turn as Kris Kringle in the Arts Club Theatre production of “Miracle on 34th Street”. There is other stuff too, but that last sentence has worn us right out, so just go ahead and have a listen and let us know what you thought, how you're doing, and what you'd love to hear about from us.Links: Shed Dogs; Bobby Fingers; Yum!

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop welcomes Andrew Burlinson, an artist and creative thinker, for a deep conversation about technology, creativity, and the human spirit. They explore the importance of solitude in the creative process, the addictive nature of digital engagement, and how AI might both challenge and enhance human expression. Andrew shares insights on the shifting value of art in an AI-driven world, the enduring importance of poetry, and the unexpected resurgence of in-person experiences.

He reflects on his childhood, where a lack of constant stimulation led him to develop his artistic skills. Today, with infinite digital distractions, people must intentionally carve out space to be alone with their thoughts to create work that carries deep personal intention rather than just remixing external influences.The Struggle to Defend Attention – Stewart and Andrew discuss how modern digital platforms, particularly social media, are designed to hijack human attention through powerful AI-driven engagement loops. These mechanisms prioritize negative emotions and instant gratification, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to focus on deep, meaningful work. They suggest that future AI advancements could paradoxically help free people from screens, allowing them to engage with technology in a more intentional and productive way.AI as a Creative Partner—But Not Yet a True Challenger – While AI is already being used in creative fields, such as Hollywood's subtle use of AI for film corrections, it currently lacks the ability to provide meaningful pushback or true creative debate. Andrew argues that the best creative partners challenge ideas rather than just assist with execution, and AI's tendency to be agreeable and non-confrontational makes it a less valuable collaborator for artists who need critical feedback to refine their work.The Pendulum Swing of Human and Technological Aesthetics – Throughout history, every major technological advancement in the arts has been met with a counter-movement embracing raw, organic expression. Just as the rise of synthesizers in music led to a renewed interest in acoustic and folk styles, the rapid expansion of AI-generated art may inspire a resurgence of appreciation for handcrafted, deeply personal artistic works. The human yearning for tactile, real-world experiences will likely grow in response to AI's increasing role in creative production.The Enduring Value of Art Beyond Economic Utility – In a world increasingly shaped by economic efficiency and optimization, Andrew stresses the need to reaffirm the intrinsic value of art. While capitalism dominates, the real significance of artistic expression lies in its ability to move people, create connection, and offer meaning beyond financial metrics. This perspective is especially crucial in an era where AI-generated content is flooding the creative landscape, potentially diluting the sense of personal expression that defines human art.The Need for Intentionality in Using AI – AI's potential to streamline work processes and enhance creative output depends on how humans choose to engage with it. Stewart notes that while AI can be a powerful tool for structuring time and filtering distractions, it can also easily pull people into mindless consumption. The challenge lies in using AI with clear intention—leveraging it to automate mundane tasks while preserving the uniquely human aspects of ideation, storytelling, and artistic vision.The Role of Poetry and Language in Reclaiming Humanity – In a technology-driven world where efficiency is prioritized over depth, poetry serves as a reminder of the human experience. Andrew highlights the power of poets and clowns—figures often dismissed as impractical—as essential in preserving creativity, playfulness, and emotional depth. He suggests that valuing poetry and artistic language can help counterbalance the growing mechanization of culture, keeping human expression at the forefront of civilization's evolution.

About the Lecture This lecture is part of the Student Speaker Series The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), also known as North Korea, has one of the worst human rights records in the world, leading many of its citizens to escape through nearby Southeast Asian countries to seek asylum in South Korea or other willing nations. A significant issue these escapees face is having an ambiguous United Nations (UN) refugee status and the fear of forced repatriation, also known as refoulement. The countries of China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand are the most used Southeast Asian escape routes for North Korean refugees. This lecture seeks to solidify North Korean escapee's status as refugees, explain the status of Southeast Asian countries' relationship with North Korea and their history of forced repatriation, and proposes a UN General Assembly Human Rights Council Resolution that creates an international body called “The Committee on the Resettlement of North Korean Refugees,” which shall encourage Southeast Asian countries not to repatriate them and coordinate the removal of these refugees from Southeast Asia to be resettled in South Korea or other willing nations. About the Speaker Peace Ajirotutu is a Master of Arts candidate at the Institute of World Politics, pursuing a Masters in Statecraft and International Affairs with a concentration in Asian regional area studies. Before attending IWP, she graduated from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Summa Cum Laude, with a major in Political Science and a double minor in History and Asian Studies. Peace is currently an editorial intern at the Jamestown Foundations China Brief publication. She has previously presented research on North Korea at the 2024 Intelligence Studies Consortium's Symposium. Peace specializes in the regions of China, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan.

What if you could create enough passive income to cover your monthly expenses, giving you true financial freedom to spend your time as you choose? Joey Muré, co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, reveals how kingdom-minded entrepreneurs can escape the rat race without relying on Wall Street's traditional retirement model.Joey shares his personal awakening moment when, as a successful mortgage broker, he realized he was physically present but mentally absent during family vacations – constantly telling his wife and daughters "I'll be right down" after one more call, only to join them hours later as they were leaving the beach. This disconnect became his line-in-the-sand moment that launched his journey toward financial freedom.The conversation exposes how traditional financial planning creates what Joey calls a "scarcity mindset," where people spend decades building a "mountain of cash" they hope will last through retirement. Instead, Joey advocates creating passive income streams that provide freedom now, allowing entrepreneurs to live abundantly while making greater impact with their time and resources.Through compelling stories like Sid, an excavator who created $50,000/month in passive income after a snow biking accident left him unable to work, Joey demonstrates how everyday people can transform their financial futures. He also reveals how banks privately invest billions in the same financial vehicles they publicly discourage customers from using.For Christians, Joey addresses how the church has often poorly framed money conversations, creating either poverty mentalities or prosperity gospel extremes. Instead, he advocates viewing money as a stewardship responsibility that opens doors for greater kingdom impact.Discover your unique "investor DNA" and learn how entrepreneurs can escape the financial matrix by using proven systems to create lasting wealth and freedom.

Janna discovered Jaime and Josh through their shared Instagram profile, @marriageishappening, and was so moved by their marriage story that she invited them to join her on the podcast.Married at 21 with four kids soon after, they initially adhered to traditional gender roles—Jaime stayed at home while Josh worked outside the house. Jaime, an extrovert, describes early parenthood as a time filled with "shock and horror." She found herself isolated in a basement suite with no help, limited adult interaction, and minimal support from her husband. She felt sad, lonely, and disconnected from both her mind and body. Meanwhile, Josh, an introvert, struggled in his demanding social work position and came home feeling drained, unsure how to support his wife and children in a meaningful way.After years of unfulfillment, Jaime reached a breaking point, contemplating self-harm, death, and even leaving her marriage. It wasn't until she realized she needed to focus on her own well-being and make changes that things began to shift. But when she embraced newfound joy and freedom, Josh struggled to adjust. His defensiveness and emotional immaturity made it hard for him to process the changes she was going through.Together, Jaime and Josh share how they've made progress in their marriage by redefining their roles and discovering a new way to be together.Janna's new Wanting It More Foundations self-paced course for women is open for registration.The next round of Doing It Together runs June/July 2025.

Ronel Golden, author of The Getting Out Guide, knows this firsthand. Through her book, she provides survivors with a practical roadmap to escape domestic violence and create a sustainable, independent future.Golden's guide goes beyond simply telling victims to leave; it offers a structured, step-by-step approach to ensure they can stay out for good. “The average person in an abusive relationship will go back to their abuser up to seven times,” Golden explains. Her book aims to break this cycle by addressing both the psychological and logistical barriers survivors face when trying to leave.One of the key insights Golden shares is the importance of understanding why someone is vulnerable to abuse in the first place. Without this awareness, survivors may unknowingly fall into another abusive relationship. “If you don't learn why you're vulnerable to abuse, the odds of getting into another abusive relationship are extremely high,” she warns. By providing this knowledge, The Getting Out Guide helps survivors regain control over their lives and make informed choices about their future.Golden emphasizes that abuse is not always physical. Many victims endure psychological, financial, social, and even spiritual abuse, all of which contribute to their entrapment. Recognizing these patterns is a crucial step toward regaining personal freedom.For those seeking a way out, Golden offers a framework built on seven pillars of existence: mental, financial, social, environmental, rights, physical, and spiritual. These pillars help survivors assess their current situation and develop a comprehensive plan to rebuild their lives. By focusing on each pillar, they can work toward long-term independence and well-being.Golden's work is deeply personal, shaped by her own experience with domestic abuse. She understands the emotional turmoil and the practical difficulties of leaving an abusive partner. Her book is not just a theoretical guide—it's a lifeline for those trapped in dangerous situations.Survivors looking for guidance can access additional resources through Golden's website, which continues to expand with interactive tools and support networks. The Getting Out Guide serves as a critical tool in empowering individuals to break free from abuse and reclaim their futures.tl;dr:Ronel Golden shares insights from The Getting Out Guide, a practical resource for escaping domestic abuse.She explains the psychological, financial, and social barriers that make leaving an abusive relationship difficult.Golden outlines her structured approach to recovery, focusing on seven key pillars of personal well-being.She discusses her superpower—relentless learning—and how it helped her turn personal hardship into a tool for others.The episode encourages survivors to seek knowledge, resources, and support to build sustainable, independent futures.How to Develop Relentless Learning As a SuperpowerRonel Golden's superpower is her relentless commitment to learning. She believes that no skill is beyond reach if one is willing to put in the effort to study, ask questions, and seek guidance. “I know that I don't have a superpower, but I can have any superpower if I'm willing to do the work to figure it out,” she explains. This mindset has allowed her to overcome obstacles, acquire new skills, and ultimately write The Getting Out Guide to help survivors of domestic abuse.Golden's ability to learn and adapt became crucial when she realized she had been in an abusive relationship without fully understanding what abuse was. After leaving, she dedicated herself to researching domestic violence, seeking insights from psychiatrists, psychologists, and behavioral therapists. Through extensive study and engagement with experts, she not only made sense of her own experience but also developed a structured, actionable guide to help others escape similar situations. This journey of self-education transformed her personal struggle into a resource for others in need.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Cultivate curiosity by asking questions and seeking knowledge on unfamiliar topics.Embrace vulnerability and be willing to admit when you don't know something.Actively seek mentorship and learn from experts in various fields.Dedicate time to research and self-improvement, making learning a lifelong habit.Use acquired knowledge to create solutions that benefit others.By following Ronel Golden's example and advice, you can make relentless learning a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

I know you want to grow your business and brand and have a bigger impact as a thought leader. But, as high-achievers, there are beliefs we have that get us stuck in the expert trap. We believe that we need to teach/train to provide value; that training content is what our audience wants; and our identity is tied to seeing ourselves as the expert.
