Ep. 197 (Part 1 of 3) | Polarity management pioneer and author Barry Johnson and adult development expert Beena Sharma are masterful teachers on the subject of polarities and what polarity thinking can bring to the world, benefitting our well-being at every level. Together they explain what polarities are, why they matter, how to apply and leverage them, and the essence of polarity wisdom: pursuing the upsides of opposite poles. Barry is careful to explain that although either/or thinking is the root of our troubles, both/and thinking by itself isn't the answer either. Integrating either/or with both/and thinking and recognizing the interdependence of all things is the road to transformation and, Beena adds, the engine of human development, of human maturity.Barry explains the profound spiritual understanding foundational to polarity wisdom and Beena details how polarities shift according to our developmental stage. Each of the polarities discussed—justice/mercy, claiming power/sharing power, being/doing, to name a few—illuminates its sphere, whether it relates to democracy, social justice, or spiritual practice. Barry and Beena are passionate about the promise of polarity thinking and their excitement is contagious in this fast-paced, delightfully lucid dialogue, jam-packed with information that is practical, inspiring, and potentially life changing. Recorded May 22, 2025.“Either/or thinking without both/and thinking is the root cause of poverty, racism, sexism, and war.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing polarity management pioneer & author Barry Johnson and adult development expert Beena Sharma (00:48)How did Barry discover polarities? (02:15)The essential dimension of polarities—interdependent pairs—and the universal interdependence of all of life (03:08)The capacity to integrate and recognize interdependence is the driving force of adult human development (03:47)The difference between polarity management and polarity wisdom (05:37)A key polarity in leadership and democracy: claiming power & sharing power (07:20)Experiential exercise: the infinity loop (08:11)What is true for all polarities: each pole brings something special that is essential to the relationship (11:15)The integrating wisdom that includes and transcends both polarities encompasses all dualities, reflecting traditional East Indian wisdom (12:12)As a leader, how can we be both clear & flexible, self-assured & humble, and as an organization, centralized & decentralized? (13:51)The oscillation between activity and rest (14:55)Leveraging polarities: maximizing upsides and minimizing downsides (16:22)Either/or thinking is essential, but it needs to be supplemented with both/and thinking (16:34)Privileging one pole as better, you enter into dysfunction (19:33)Interpersonal relationships: we see the positive value of our preferred pole but the downside of the other's opposite preferred pole (20:56)The essence of polarity wisdom: embracing the wisdom of the opposite pole (21:41)Polarity thinking is an antidote to rigidity; it heals polarization (22:25)Either/or thinking without both/and thinking is the root cause of evil (23:09)Pursuing justice to the neglect of mercy (its interdependent pole) (26:47)Does both/and thinking require a certain level of...

It's “the most wonderful time of the year.”In this episode of Campaign Chemistry, Campaign staffers Luz Corona and Leslie Blount explore the evolution of the US Open into a cultural and marketing phenomenon, highlighting how the event's fan engagement, brand partnerships and on-site activations have turned it into a playground of creative marketing. This year, the tennis tournament celebrates the 75th anniversary of Althea Gibson, the first Black tennis player to compete at the US Open in 1950 (then called the U.S. National Championship), as her silhouette is the focal point of this year's “breaking barriers” theme. Alongside the momentous occasion, the US Open continues to deliver the ultimate experience for tennis fans everywhere, seen in the increasing presence of brands including Lavazza, American Express and La Roche-Posay.The team also identifies trends in major sporting tentpole events (e.g., the power of "FOMO") and the benefit of making these events accessible; this year's US Open Fan Week shattered records and welcomed nearly 240,000 fans (for free) to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center before the tournament even began.They also spotlight individual brand strategies and the impact of experiential marketing, partnerships with athletes and activations both inside and outside the stadium. The sound bite"It's all about FOMO and exclusivity."The takeawaysThe US Open is a cultural phenomenon, as seen in its 2024 record-breaking attendance that saw over 1 million attendees.Tennis has become more mainstream, especially in fashion. FP Movement, a subsidiary of Free People, tapped into the trend years ago, quietly building a presence in the athleisure world.Financial brands such as Amex and JPMorganChase are consistently making sure they enhance experiences for their cardholders, as seen in their major footprints at the US Open and other sporting events.The atmosphere at the US Open is electric and family-friendly, furthering the potential of brand connection with younger generations.Brands are focusing on exclusivity and personalization through the power of tech, as seen in The American Express Fan Experience that offers personalized Wilson tennis balls and customized Polo Ralph Lauren merch.The evolution of tennis reflects broader industry trends including the power of fandom, cultural relevance, tech-enabled engagement and true authenticity.

In this episode, Kamini Wood explores "experiential avoidance," defining it as the conscious or subconscious effort to evade uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, sensations, or conversations. She explains that while this behavior is a natural, wired-for-survival response, it ultimately proves unhelpful. Avoiding difficult emotions or situations, such as conflict, rejection, financial anxiety, or vulnerability, only causes them to intensify or reappear. Kamini emphasizes that this avoidance keeps us stuck, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from ourselves and others, hindering genuine healing, connection, and growth. She encourages listeners to observe the urge to avoid, name the feeling or fear, pause, breathe, and consciously choose to sit with the discomfort, even for a few seconds, to move towards growth and deeper connection.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Examining the relationships between Urban Agriculture and Policy is the area of interest for this episode of The Capstone, featuring Sean Flaherty. Sean cites an increasingly urbanized population with growing levels of food insecurity, as the motivation to look beyond improving efficiencies in food production to explore the impacts of policy on municipalities, using the City of Alexandria Virginia as a Case Study. His Capstone project examines the shortage of policies directed toward urban food production–and he advocates for the need to consider the role of diverse stakeholders–including property owners and non property owning municipal residents, urban developers, food and social justice advocates, and municipal agencies–in the work of creating structures that support increased food production in urban areas…or as he says, “production closer to the need.”

Jack Shannon is the Co-founder and CEO of Recess, a brand activation platform for top consumer brands, like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Milk Bar. With over 15 years of experience scaling innovative marketing solutions, he and his partner have scaled Recess from the ground up. Jack is also an investor in Venvee and Editframe.  In this episode… As retail media networks proliferate and demand more brand dollars, many companies struggle to identify which channels deliver results beyond the major platforms like Amazon and Walmart. With hundreds of fragmented options, it's increasingly difficult to measure ROI, target consumers, and justify media spend. How can brands identify a scalable, performance-driven alternative that bridges physical and digital touchpoints? Experiential marketer and media strategist Jack Shannon advises brands to leverage performance-driven sampling and targeted real-world applications. This includes using mobile data to reach high-density shopper audiences in environments like gyms, schools, and apartment communities — places where people are naturally engaged. By blending audience targeting, digital amplification, and measurement tools like store lift analysis and loyalty data integration, experiential marketing can drive bottom-funnel metrics and long-term customer loyalty. In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant sits down with Jack Shannon, Co-founder and CEO of Recess, to discuss measuring and scaling experiential marketing. Jack talks about sampling as a form of performance media, how social amplification and real-world data drive meaningful outcomes, and how to reach offline audiences.

This episode builds on Dave Norton's article on Substack about Kate King's report in the Wall Street Journal: Can the French Reinvent America's Broken Department Store Model. Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss the evolving landscape of retail, particularly focusing on the experiential model as exemplified by the French department store Printemps. They explore the differences between traditional American department stores and European models, emphasizing the importance of creating engaging experiences that encourage customers to linger. The conversation also touches on metrics for measuring success in experiential retail and highlights case studies like La Varia Leo bookstore, while critiquing Macy's for missing opportunities to connect with consumers. Takeaways The American department store model is in decline. Experiential retail focuses on creating reasons for customers to stay. Time spent in a retail space correlates with increased sales. European department stores are thriving by offering immersive experiences. Retailers need to shift from product staging to experience staging. Metrics for success should include time well spent and revenue increases. Charging for experiences can turn marketing into a profit center. La Varia Leo bookstore successfully monetized its experience. Macy's has not adapted to the experiential retail trend. Retailers must innovate to compete with online shopping. Sound bites "It's about time well spent." "You want to hang out there." "Macy's has done none of this."

What happens when a powerhouse trial lawyer and his equally driven wife trade suits and city life for vines and vision in Oregon's Willamette Valley? You get LucidWild — a boutique winery rooted in purpose, passion, and one hell of a view.In this episode of the Weinnotes Podcast, I sit down with Blair and LJ Nicholas, the couple behind LucidWild, to talk about their incredible journey from the courtroom and corporate world to crafting wine with soul and intention. This isn't a “retirement” story — it's a second chapter fueled by grit, heart, and a relentless desire to create something lasting from the land.We kick things off with a blind tasting (spoiler: it's a 2016 Chardonnay from their winemaker, the iconic Isabelle Meunier), and then get into the backstory of how LucidWild came to be. From their early inspiration on a trip to Tuscany to planting 300 vines in their backyard, Blair and LJ share how the spark of curiosity turned into a full-blown calling.You'll hear how they fell in love with Oregon wine after hearing a Burgundian winemaker tell them, “This is not about the winemaker. This is about the land.” That philosophy stuck. It's the soul of LucidWild, where every decision — from native ferments to the intentional layout of their immersive, multi-room tasting experience — honors the land and the stories it tells.LJ takes us behind the design of Lucid Wild's stunning new tasting space, from the Sky Room to the speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Her approach? Experiential and emotional design that invites guests to feel like they're walking into a friend's home — not a pretentious wine fortress. You'll hear about their “ideal lab” for business meetings, a game room with billiards and bocce, and how the bathrooms (yes, the bathrooms) became an unlikely Instagram hotspot thanks to the label artwork proudly displayed inside.Blair gets real about why he left law — not to escape, but to build something with meaning. He shares how LucidWild's wine lineup reflects different expressions of their estate vineyard. Every bottle is made from 100% estate fruit, and they even use a golf cart to take guests right to the vines where the wine comes from. It's about connection to the land, to each other, and to the stories shared over a great glass of wine.We talk about their exciting new sparkling wine collaboration made by Isabelle Meunier and her husband, acclaimed sparkling winemaker Andrew Davis. It's their first sparkling release and a labor of love that brought both families together around the table (literally) to taste through styles and build something uniquely Oregon.Throughout the interview, we dig into what makes Oregon wine, and Willamette Valley in particular, so special right now. From world-class Pinot and Chardonnay to a rising sparkling scene, Blair and LJ are bullish on the valley's future and grateful to be part of a region where intention still matters more than mass production.We also lighten things up with a round of rapid-fire questions. LJ wants the superpower to duplicate herself (because who doesn't?), Blair wants to solve homelessness, and they both agree that wine is best enjoyed with good people, good music, and a whole lot of heart.Lucid Wild isn't just a winery. It's a philosophy, a commitment to making beautiful wines that reflect place, people, and purpose. Whether you're a wine lover, a design nerd, or someone dreaming of your own next chapter, this episode is full of inspiration, real talk, and a little sparkle (literally and figuratively).

Welcome back! Sorry for our long hiatus. In this episode, Clark and Matt explore GENERATIVE LEARNING. Early on, Clark brings up Craik and Lockhart's research about how information is processed on different levels (Craik, F. I. M., & Lockhart, R. S. (1972).

Send in a question or comment via text.This week on The Anxious Truth, we're talking about what happens when a problem solving mind sees itself as a problem to solve.Your mind is an incredible problem-solving machine - it's what sets humans apart and has helped us thrive for thousands of years. But when that same problem-solving ability turns inward and starts trying to "fix" your own thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences, things can go very wrong very quickly.If you're stuck in cycles of overthinking, constantly trying to figure out your anxiety, or exhausting yourself attempting to solve feelings that aren't meant to be solved, this episode is for you. We'll explore how the same mental abilities that help us navigate the world can trap us when they're aimed at our own internal experiences.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction - When problem solving becomes the problem01:54 How the mind forms relationships and connections between experiences03:09 When problem solving leads to anxiety, overthinking, and control issues04:26 What happens when problem solving turns inward on our feelings06:47 The spectacular failure of trying to solve internal experiences09:02 Understanding the Cognitive Attentional Syndrome (CAS)10:42 Experiential avoidance and the cost of feeling better now12:58 How fear generalizes through mental connections14:58 Shifting from content focus to process awareness16:09 Real examples: panic responses vs. healthier approaches to triggers18:03 Practical principles for recognizing when problem solving goes wrong19:29 Moving toward values while feeling uncomfortable - psychological flexibilityKey takeaway: Your thoughts and emotions are experiences to have, not problems to solve.Whether you're dealing with panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, health anxiety, or generalized anxiety, learning to recognize when your problem-solving mind is making things worse can be a crucial step in your recovery journey.This episode explores evidence-based concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Metacognitive Therapy in accessible, practical terms. Remember: recovery isn't about finding quick fixes or magical solutions - it's about learning to relate differently to your internal experiences.Resources mentioned:My SubstackFull Show Notes For This EpisodeIf you found this episode helpful, please leave a rating and review - it helps other people find the podcast and get the help they need.Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.

Light profoundly impacts our neurological and biological systems through its connection to our evolutionary history. Our brains are fundamentally programmed to respond to moving, dynamic light sources - which is why we're instinctively transfixed by a candle flame. Artificial light, by contrast, has only existed for 180 years, which is essentially nothing in evolutionary time. This means static white lights do little to support our relaxation or psychological connectivity. We speak with Frankie Boyle, light artist extraordinaire who fuses physics, psychology, neuroscience and art.Frankie's work is beautiful, a manifestation of the fusion of biophilia and creativity. I love the gorgeous fluidity, the colours, the dance of light and dark, for me experiencing her installations even through the screen feels like you are walking into a song.As Frankie explains, humans have been interacting with light for 4 billion years, primarily through natural sources like sunlight and fire. From a neurological perspective, light triggers specific responses in our nervous system that are deeply rooted in survival mechanisms. Our brains are programmed to detect movement because it signals potential hunting opportunities or threats. Different colours and light intensities activate different neurological responses - for instance, vibrant blues are energising and motivating, while sunset tones with yellows and oranges signal relaxation and the end of the day. These light interactions influence our brain's energy allocation. If we design lighting intentionally, we can help encourage the neural resources of anyone experiencing the space to focus on specific tasks, ultimately improving their cognitive performance and emotional well-being.Some key take-awaysThere are many highlights from our conversation, but here are some key pointers she shares with us. In designing spaces with light, prioritise mimicking natural light patterns by using dynamic, moving sources that change throughout the day, avoiding static, bright white overhead lighting. Focus on colour and intensity, utilizing blue tones for energizing spaces and warm yellows and oranges for relaxation, always matching light colours to the intended mood and function of the environment. The goal is to create lighting that reflects our natural circadian rhythms and supports our biological needs.Texture, movement, and sensory experience are crucial in light design. Integrate materials that interact beautifully with light, like wool, and create subtle, gentle light movements that highlight natural surfaces and create immersive experiences. Approach light design as a collaborative and experimental process, working with experts from different disciplines and being open to unexpected ideas. Remember that light is not just functional, but a powerful tool for storytelling, evoking emotions, and creating spaces that connect deeply with our psychological and biological responses. Frankie transforms light from a simple functional element into a profound medium of emotional and psychological connection. When asked how she would paint the world with a magic brush of biophilia, Boyle's vision was wonderfully radical: a world without white walls and straight lines, replaced instead by spaces that invite play, exploration, and connection - environments with trees to climb, slides to descend, and cocoon-like spaces that nurture our innate need for sensory engagement.As our conversation reveals, the future of design lies not in rigid structures and static spaces, but in dynamic, playful experiences that honour our biological heritage. Frankie's approach challenges us to break free from conventional thinking, to embrace creativity, and to understand that truly innovative design speaks to our deepest neurological rhythms.

Send us a textDive into the transformative world of symbolic experiential therapy, a dynamic approach to family therapy founded by Carl Whitaker that might just revolutionize your therapeutic practice. Unlike conventional methods that prioritize rational problem-solving, this innovative approach embraces authentic encounters, emotional expression, and the power of metaphor to create meaningful change within family systems.What makes symbolic experiential therapy stand apart? It's the therapist's willingness to be present—not as a distant expert, but as an active participant who models emotional honesty and disrupts rigid patterns. We explore how family problems are often maintained by inflexibility and emotional suppression, and how this approach taps into the emotional and symbolic underpinnings of relational dynamics to catalyze transformation.The podcast walks you through the fluid phases of this therapeutic model, from establishing authentic connections with families to externalizing problems, challenging the status quo, and fostering emotional honesty. You'll discover practical examples of how to use symbolism effectively—like exploring what it means when a client describes their spouse as a "brick wall"—and learn key techniques including unpredictable questioning, storytelling, and dramatic enactment.

There is a fundamental difference between knowing something intellectually and experiencing it directly. In spiritual practice, realization arises not from thinking or believing but from resting in the seat of consciousness and ceasing to be distracted by thoughts, emotions, and ego. The ultimate path to enlightenment involves letting go of identification with the personal self and returning to the direct, experiential awareness of one's divine nature. God-realization is not a belief, it is a lived experience of merging back into the ocean of universal consciousness. For more information, go to michaelsingerpodcast.com. © Sounds True Inc.
