After committing to something for years, months, even weeks, you start to feel the burnout. You aren't seeing the return that you expected, and it feels just plain hard.Don't quit. This is the valley of despair, a necessary chapter of any journey worth taking. It's when things don't make sense. You don't feel inspired like you did in the beginning. And you just don't see the point of sticking it out. It's also the point that most people give up. Are you most people? Do you have the perseverance to continue when you don't see the finish line? To pursue something that matters to you when you aren't getting feedback? Will you care even if nobody else does?You don't have to be perfect, or the best with whatever it is your doing. Perhaps the criteria for success is simply to not quit. There's always a reason to give up. We feel it here, too.Well, this podcast is your reason to keep going. You will emerge from this valley one day, having done something truly worthwhile. Shownotes: Greg's TEDx Talk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezygvBTXeeQFor more Dare to Dream content find us on: Apple Podcasts:⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dare-to-dream-podcast/id1522983890⁠⁠ Spotify:⁠ ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/599zlweDDcmXP5YhOX6TFw⁠⁠ YouTube:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoimyPFCjO_qrJhH4ALafcA⁠⁠ Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thedaretodreampodcast/⁠⁠Vincent's Book, When the Sky Opens and the Answers Shimmer: https://www.amazon.com/When-Sky-Opens-Answers-Shimmer/dp/B0DSQ7MYRZ?ref_=ast_author_dp Join Vincent's Newsletter - Vinny's Field Notes:⁠ https://vincentvanpatten.substack.com/⁠Join Gregory's Newsletter - Live a Story Worth Telling:⁠ ⁠⁠https://liveastoryworthtelling.gregoryrussellbenedikt.com/laswt⁠ If you're feeling empty despite your “success”, book a discovery call with Gregory:⁠ https://calendly.com/gregoryrussellbenedikt-1/discovery-call⁠

It's scary to ask people to pay you for what you do. What if they say no? Well, then you're right where you started. But at least you took action, and you tried. The only way to conquer that fear of failure is by taking action—any sort of action. Throwing your hat in the ring, and knowing, at least, that you tried. On this episode of DTD, we explore the life-changing power of taking bold action, the importance of playfulness when grappling with daunting life experiences, and the challenges of going from free to paid for your art/services/product. We're in the throes of it now, striving to make our dreams a reality with every fear-based obstacle conquered. So let's go. Join us in facing those fears, and doing it with a smile. For more Dare to Dream content find us on: Apple Podcasts:⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dare-to-dream-podcast/id1522983890⁠⁠ Spotify:⁠ ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/599zlweDDcmXP5YhOX6TFw⁠⁠ YouTube:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoimyPFCjO_qrJhH4ALafcA⁠⁠ Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thedaretodreampodcast/⁠⁠Vincent's Book, When the Sky Opens and the Answers Shimmer: https://www.amazon.com/When-Sky-Opens-Answers-Shimmer/dp/B0DSQ7MYRZ?ref_=ast_author_dpFor Vincent's writing, travel photography, and more, check out:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://vincentvanpatten.com/⁠⁠ Join Vincent's Newsletter - Vinny's Field Notes:⁠ https://vincentvanpatten.substack.com/⁠Join Gregory's Newsletter - Live a Story Worth Telling:⁠ ⁠⁠https://liveastoryworthtelling.gregoryrussellbenedikt.com/laswt⁠ If you're feeling empty despite your “success”, book a discovery call with Gregory:⁠ https://calendly.com/gregoryrussellbenedikt-1/discovery-call⁠

In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler explores a powerful metaphor for masculinity. Drawing from nature, he contrasts the virtuous, leadership-driven traits of lions with the deceptive, self-serving behaviors of hyenas.

With personal anecdotes and bold insights, he urges listeners to reject parasitic tendencies and pursue a legacy of righteous living.

Are you a 'Ball Stealer?' What does that even mean? With permission, in this episode, I share piece from the folks at Admired Leadership and their Field Notes blog. The piece asks the question, "Are you a despicable listener who steals the ball?" You'll have to listen to this episode to take a deeper dive into what all this means when it comes to effective communication.When it comes to personal, professional and leadership development, communication is key. Too many define communication as simply our ability to articulate our thoughts and share them with others without considering listening as a part of the equation. Listen to this episode and let me know if you see yourself in anything I share.Dr. Koz (and effect!)Dr. Stephen J.

As inspiration struck, I took my Moleskine out of my pocket and jotted down some notes, like potential names — I considered things like “The Manly Arts” before settling on “The Art of Manliness” — categories of content, and initial article ideas. Almost two decades later, the fruits of those notebook jottings are still bearing out.That's the power of a pocket pad's possibilities, something Roland Allen explores in The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper. Today on the show, Roland traces the fascinating history of notebooks and how they went from a business technology for accounting to a creative technology for artists. We talk about how famous figures from Leonardo da Vinci to Theodore Roosevelt used notebooks, the different forms notebooks have taken from the Italian zibaldone to the friendship book to the modern bullet journal, and why keeping a personal diary has fallen out of favor. Along the way, we discuss ways you can fruitfully use notebooks today, and why, even in our digital age, they remain an irreplaceable tool for thinking and creativity.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: 100 Ways to Use Your Pocket NotebookAoM Article: The Manly Tradition of the Pocket NotebookAoM Article: The Pocket Notebooks of 20 Famous MenAoM Podcast #194: The Field Notes of Theodore RooseveltAoM Article: The Right and Wrong Way to JournalAoM Article: Finally Understand How to Keep a Bullet JournalLeonardo da Vinci's notebooksCharles Darwin's notebooksJohn Locke's Method for Commonplace BooksConnect With Roland AllenRoland's website

 In this thought-provoking episode, Christopher Brown—lawyer, novelist, and urban naturalist— takes us on a journey through the landscape around his home in Austin, Texas, the edgelands where the city meets the wild. Drawing from his latest book, A Natural History of Empty Lots, Christopher explores the resilience of urban ecosystems, the unexpected biodiversity thriving in neglected spaces, and the connections between land, politics, and justice in an era of climate disruption. This is a compelling dialogue about the uneasy balance between human civilization and the natural world—and how rethinking our relationship with wild spaces could reshape the cities of tomorrow. We delve into the intersections of rewilding, environmental justice, and the unfolding polycrisis, unpacking what these abandoned landscapes can teach us about adaptation, resilience, and envisioning a more livable future. This episode includes readings from A Natural History of Empty Lots, and excerpts of a new sound composition by Cat Byrne, Clapton edgelands (i), gathered in the Lea Valley, Clapton, London, during November 2024.  Christopher Brown is an American author and attorney based in Austin, Texas, renowned for his work in both science fiction and nature-focused nonfiction. His latest book, A Natural History of Empty Lots, published in October 2024, is a blend of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that explores the intersection of urban environments and wild nature.  Brown's debut novel, Tropic of Kansas (2017), was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. He continued to explore speculative themes with Rule of Capture (2019) and its sequel, Failed State (2020), the latter of which was nominated for the 2021 Philip K. Dick Award.  In addition to his writing, Brown practices law and authors the urban nature newsletter Field Notes.

She hosts the monthly radio show, Biorhythms w/ Cat, on Balamii Radio, where she explores natural sounds, textured rhythms, and percussive down-tempo, and also a live place-based radio show on RTM, Listening From.

How do we become moral persons? What about children's active learning in contrast to parenting? What can children teach us about knowledge-making more broadly? Answer these questions by delving into the groundbreaking ethnographic fieldwork conducted by anthropologists Arthur and Margery Wolf in a martial law era Taiwanese village (1958-60), marking the first-ever study of ethnic Han children.  Jing Xu skillfully reinterprets the Wolfs' extensive fieldnotes, employing a unique blend of humanistic interpretation, natural language processing, and machine-learning techniques. Through a lens of social cognition, Unruly' Children: Historical Fieldnotes and Learning Morality in a Taiwan Village (Cambridge UP, 2024) unravels the complexities of children's moral growth, exposing instances of disobedience, negotiation, and peer dynamics. Writing through and about fieldnotes, the author connects the two themes, learning morality and making ethnography, in light of social cognition, and invites all of us to take children seriously. This book is ideal for graduate and undergraduate students of anthropology and educational studies. Throughout the interview, the term “Chinese” is used in the broad sense of cultural heritage. Jing Xu is a research scientist at the Department of Anthropology, University of Washington, Seattle. She holds a B.A. and M.A. from Tsinghua University, China, a Ph.D. in anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis, and received postdoctoral training in developmental psychology at the University of Washington. She pursues interdisciplinary research, bringing together anthropological and psychological perspectives to study how humans become moral persons. She is the author of two monographs: The Good Child: Moral Development in a Chinese Preschool (Stanford U Press, 2017) and “Unruly” Children: Historical Fieldnotes and Learning Morality in a Taiwan Village (Cambridge U Press, 2024). Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, medical anthropology, hope studies, and the anthropology of borders and frontiers.
