Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people's daily digital interactions.What you'll learn:• Why design should report to engineering, not product• The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story that teaches us about championing radical ideas• How to evaluate if a company truly values design before joining• The moral obligation of software makers to build great products—This entire episode is

She was a Murrey Marder Nieman Fellow in Watchdog Journalism at Harvard University. Get her new book!  They Poisoned the World Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals “Riveting . . . Blake's deft chronicle of one of the greatest moral scandals of our time [is] a book that none of us can afford to miss.”—The Washington Post A gripping investigation of the chemical industry's decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of forever chemicals, told through the story of a small town on the frontlines of an epic public health crisis. In 2014, after losing several friends and relatives to cancer, an unassuming insurance underwriter in Hoosick Falls, New York, began to suspect that the local water supply was polluted. When he tested his tap water, he discovered dangerous levels of forever chemicals. This set off a chain of events that led to 100 million Americans learning their drinking water was tainted. Although the discovery came as a shock to most, the U.S. government and the manufacturers of these toxic chemicals—used in everything from lipstick and cookware to children's clothing—had known about their hazards for decades. In They Poisoned the World, investigative journalist Mariah Blake tells the astonishing story of this cover-up, tracing its roots back to the Manhattan Project and through the postwar years, as industry scientists discovered that these chemicals refused to break down and were saturating the blood of virtually every human being. By the 1980s, manufacturers were secretly testing their workers and finding links to birth defects, cancer, and other serious diseases. At every step, the industry's deceptions were aided by our government's appallingly lax regulatory system—a system that has made us all guinea pigs in a vast, uncontrolled chemistry experiment. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and tens of thousands of documents, Blake interweaves the secret history of forever chemicals with the moving story of how a lone village took on the chemical giants—and won. From the beloved local doctor to the young mother who took her fight all the way to the nation's capital, citizen activists in Hoosick Falls and beyond have ignited the most powerful grassroots environmental movement since Silent Spring. Humane and revelatory, this book will provoke outrage—and hopefully inspire the change we need to protect the health of every American for generations to come.

Jony Ive ha vuelto. En forma de chapas.El tema de la semana obviamente es nuestro amigo y fiel oyente Juanito el Tejo; que se alía con OpenAI para intentar llegar donde el iPhone no llegó o no llegará. Eso dicen. Para muchos tertulianos es una clara señal negativa para el futuro de Apple, pero nosotros no lo tenemos claro.Un segundo tema clave es el análisis crítico de la estrategia de Apple en IA hasta ahora liderada por John Giannandrea, y contrastada con empresas como Meta o Google. Debatimos si la cautela de Apple —priorizando privacidad y hardware local— es una ventaja o un obstáculo frente a competidores que entrenan modelos con grandes datos.Coincidimos en que Apple debe equilibrar innovación con pragmatismo, evitando productos redundantes (como el Humane AI Pin o Rabbit R1) y enfocándose en integraciones útiles en sus ecosistemas.

The Ladies of SCI have a mission of monthly lobbying of Wisconsin State Legislators to advocate for legal changes to promote genuine prison reform. The post Ladies of SCI Lobby for Humane Treatment in Wisconsin Prisons appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

In this unforgettable episode of The Legacy Series, we are deeply honoured to host Justice Mukul Mudgal, one of India's most influential legal minds and reformers. A former Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and retired judge of the Delhi High Court, Justice Mudgal's contribution to Indian law spans far beyond the courtroom. From shaping India's prison reform jurisprudence to redefining sports law and governance globally, Justice Mudgal's career is a remarkable testament to courage, conscience, and the quiet conviction to do what's right. In this wide-ranging, thoughtful conversation, he reflects on: His landmark role in cases like Sunil Batra and Prem Shankar Shukla that changed how India treats its undertrials and convicts The creation of the "rarest of the rare" doctrine in death penalty law through Bachan Singh His fierce commitment to legal aid, pro bono work, and access to justice for the poorest Declaring BCCI a public body, and his investigation of the 2013 IPL scandal Chairing FIFA's Governance Committee, and lessons from global sports administration His bold take on arbitration reform, junior lawyers' rights, and why judges must be humane The role of fine arts in shaping empathy and judicial sensibility His honest views on the life of a judge beyond the gavel: isolation, discipline, and public service Justice Mudgal doesn't just talk about the law - he embodies its purpose: to protect the vulnerable and uphold dignity. This episode is a masterclass in public service, legal ethics, and moral clarity, offering an extraordinary lens into Indian legal history. Watch till the end for his life lessons, favourite books, productivity habits, and what he believes should be every lawyer's true legacy. Did you know? Justice Mudgal also brings his unique sense of empathy and social responsibility beyond the courtroom. He supported the Texas Hold 'Em Online Championship on 15th September 2019, with all profits donated to Romil Seva Sanstha, a charitable organisation he personally selected. It's one more example of how his commitment to justice extends well beyond the legal system and into everyday acts of giving. Presented in collaboration with Solomon & Co., one of India's oldest law firms with over 115 years of legacy. We are proud to partner with a firm that shares our vision for preserving the wisdom of India's legal giants.   Exciting Trailer by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100494   Artist: http://incompetech.com/    #JusticeMukulMudgal #IndianJudiciary #PrisonReform #SportsLaw #IPL2013 #FIFA #LegalLegacy #TheDailyLawyer #BCCIJudgment #LegalAid #ArbitrationIndia #IndianLaw #HumaneJudging #LegalMentorship #LegacySeries #JennaKrishnan #JusticeKrishnaIyer #LawPodcastIndia

In this episode of The Humane Marketing Show, I'm joined by Jen Freeman to explore how your Human Design centers — both defined and open — reveal your natural marketing superpowers. We unpack what these centers are, how they shape the energy you radiate or absorb, and why knowing them helps you release the pressure to market like someone you're not. Jen clears up common myths and shows how understanding your centers can gently guide you to choose marketing strategies and business models that feel authentic and easeful. If you're a heart-centered entrepreneur or Changemaker ready to market from who you truly are, not from hustle or hype, this conversation will inspire and ground you. Previous Episode with Jen here. Here's what we discussed in this episode: What centers are in Human Design and their origins. Defined centers as areas of consistent, radiating energy. Open centers as areas where we receive and are influenced by others' energy. The importance of knowing your defined and open centers for self-understanding. Common misconceptions and the value of open centers for gaining wisdom. How understanding your centers can guide decisions and reduce pressure to be someone you're not. How your open centers can reveal what you are naturally drawn to offer or “sell” in your business or marketing. Using your Human Design to choose marketing strategies and business models that fit your authentic self. Watch this episode on YouTube Join our Workshop on June 4th -- Transcript   1 00:00:01.190 --> 00:00:07.499 Sarah Santacroce: Jen Freeman, welcome back to the humane marketing podcast it's good to hang out with you as always. 2 00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:09.810 jen freeman: Oh, it's great to be here. Thanks for having me, Sarah. 3 00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:28.310 Sarah Santacroce: Thank you. You've been on the show before. And we talked about human design. And if people want to go back to that episode, it's episode 194. So humane dot marketing forward. Slash. 194. 4 00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:56.510 Sarah Santacroce: This way, we take it a bit farther and further and deeper into, you know not so much about the different types, but more about the centers specifically defined and undefined centers. So again, if this is all kind of like complete, weird language to you. It's probably best that you 1st listen to episode 1, 94, so that you understand a little bit of the basics of human design. 5 00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:08.530 Sarah Santacroce: So, Jen, why don't you explain? For people who are relatively new to human design what the centers are like that we're going to be talking about today. 6 00:01:08.830 --> 00:01:19.320 jen freeman: So the centers in human design. They're a synthesis of many different systems. So they are. They do reflect the Chakras. They do reflect the Kabbalah tree of life. 7 00:01:19.460 --> 00:01:48.089 jen freeman: They go all the way down to genetic code and organs. So so when you look at a human design chart, it's a 2D representation of a 3D. Lived experience. And so the the centers themselves probably the simplest way to say it. They're they're portals for one, because where they're when they're open. It's where you're receiving information from the world, and then where they're fixed. It's where you're putting it out. I like to think of it as a radio station. So 101 Sarah 8 00:01:48.420 --> 00:02:01.600 jen freeman: going out, and that, you know, never ending, would be where your centers are fixed, where your energy is consistent, and you're radiating that energy into your environment where they're open is where you're receiving other people's. You're receiving my 1, 0 1 gin, you know. 9 00:02:02.170 --> 00:02:05.749 jen freeman: into yours. So so being with that constant interplay 10 00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:19.960 jen freeman: that's always happening. But this is why it's so important to know your centers, which one are defined because that's consistent. That's you. That's your radio station and which ones are open that are receiving because you're being conditioned there, which we'll talk more about. I'm sure. 11 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:38.109 Sarah Santacroce: I'm just gonna hold up for people who are watching on Youtube. I'm holding up this. Yeah, this, this chart, that kind of shows the the centers. So you mentioned the Chakras? So yes, there's the Chakras, but there's a few more right. What? What's in addition to the Chakra. 12 00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:53.609 jen freeman: Because that's part of like the Kabbalah tree of life. For example, if people are familiar with what that looks like, so it's a similar recognition that there are these portals of energy that are coming through us and to us. 13 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:59.280 jen freeman: Right? So. And that's where the G center is unique. And that's that heart you just showed them. 14 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.280 Sarah Santacroce: In the center. 15 00:03:00.598 --> 00:03:06.640 jen freeman: That that is what's called the magnetic monopole. And it's basically what creates the illusion of a separate self 16 00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:11.089 jen freeman: and sets direction so that there's the apparent sense of sereness 17 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:32.619 jen freeman: right? Right? So and and again, human design is very deep. So I'm very aware with your listeners that probably every sentence we say could create more questions in their mind. And I just want them to know you're right on track. This is the nature of this. It's a very deep subject, a life, a lifelong inquiry. Really, you know, Sarah and I both have 18 00:03:32.730 --> 00:03:37.019 jen freeman: caught the bug. I've had the bug for 23 years. So I think you've had it 19 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:38.460 jen freeman: 10, maybe. Yeah, yeah. 20 00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:41.200 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, but not as deep as you, you know. 21 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:55.919 jen freeman: Yeah, yeah, so, but just just knowing that if it does raise questions, it's okay, it's great. Actually, it'll take you into wonderful places. But so we're gonna both do our best to keep it as simple, so you can apply it right away as possible. 22 00:03:56.390 --> 00:04:04.390 Sarah Santacroce: So you talked a little bit already about centers, one of them being the ones where 23 00:04:04.650 --> 00:04:25.470 Sarah Santacroce: you know who you are and the other ones being the ones where you receive energy. So the open centers are the ones where you receive other people's message and energy and the defined, or the would you call them closed centers? The defined centers are the ones where you 24 00:04:25.700 --> 00:04:31.650 Sarah Santacroce: you know you can tap into, because that's where you know who you are. Is that correct? 25 00:04:31.650 --> 00:04:32.210 jen freeman: Yeah. 26 00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:50.990 jen freeman: yes. So so something called the neutrino stream, which is an infinitesimally small particle of mass traveling just under the speed of light. So the defined centers. So basically, we are all being inundated with these tiny, tiny particles all the time, millions of them per second. 27 00:04:51.110 --> 00:05:04.549 jen freeman: So what? Where the centers are defined. It's where you have consistent conditioning by the planets of neutrinos. Okay? So it's you're still being conditioned. But it's all the time consistent. Your entire life. That's what's happening. 28 00:05:04.940 --> 00:05:15.480 jen freeman: Whereas where it's white is where you're both being conditioned by planets, by people, by animals, by plants, by like, it's like, it's it's really the felt sense of it 29 00:05:15.770 --> 00:05:27.839 jen freeman: is that basically, it's like the the where the centers are fixed. It's like the furniture. You never really think about it. You know, it's just there. It's consistent for you all the time, whereas where they're open, it's much more like the television 30 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:35.449 jen freeman: like flashy images, colors, lights, and our attention is very naturally drawn to the TV over the furniture, you know, unless you're a very, I guess. 31 00:05:35.610 --> 00:05:42.609 jen freeman: meditative person who likes to stare at your couch? That most of us are going to be drawn to those open centers. So 32 00:05:42.770 --> 00:05:48.849 jen freeman: so, part of how we learn about ourselves is, we see our defined centers. 33 00:05:48.990 --> 00:06:00.179 jen freeman: So let's say that, I have a defined emotional center which is the center of authority. It means that I need at least 24 h to make decisions. It means my emotions move on a wave 34 00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:03.309 jen freeman: meaning. I have a lot of feelings. They're data points. 35 00:06:03.590 --> 00:06:07.419 jen freeman: So if I don't understand that about myself. 36 00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:17.059 jen freeman: and I don't understand that someone with an open emotional center would be experiencing my emotions. They'd be. I would be. I would be conditioning them with my 37 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:17.890 jen freeman: promotion. 38 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.770 Sarah Santacroce: So I actually have an undefined solar plexus. 39 00:06:22.170 --> 00:06:25.599 jen freeman: So so that would be where my emotions 40 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.749 jen freeman: you would be feeling them. And this is so. Wherever you're open. 41 00:06:30.030 --> 00:06:42.450 jen freeman: you will be feeling somewhat the conditioning twice as big. Basically, so often we think we're the opposite of what we are. So like, someone with an open emotional center can feel like, oh, I'm so emotional! 42 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.500 jen freeman: But really they're feeling all of the emotions around them. 43 00:06:47.380 --> 00:07:00.259 jen freeman: Right, and it doesn't mean that they don't have their own. But it's it's not the same thing. It's it's a much cooler experience than the emotions are very hot. So if you have it fixed, you just naturally have a lot of heat going through your system. 44 00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:06.539 jen freeman: So so the essence of this. And again, Noah is always with you and design. The challenge is to 45 00:07:06.690 --> 00:07:13.380 jen freeman: essentialize it for people to apply is that if you look at your chart. You get a reading, you start to understand. 46 00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:24.809 jen freeman: You have incredible. You're incredibly empowered to understand who you are in any environment, how you influence people, how you affect them, and also how you're influenced and affected. 47 00:07:25.370 --> 00:07:28.250 jen freeman: It changes everything, everything 48 00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:35.719 jen freeman: so. And that's something just a very quick, anecdotal evidence. I have a totally open heart ego will center. 49 00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:41.769 jen freeman: So part of what that means is that I really need to do things at the right time. I'm basically 50 00:07:42.030 --> 00:07:56.620 jen freeman: it's not. I'm not here to to will things right? Where if somebody, 30% of the population has that fixed, they are, it's healthy for their heart, because it's about the heart center, but when it's open it actually hurts your heart to try to will things into being. 51 00:07:57.100 --> 00:07:57.800 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 52 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:09.690 jen freeman: And so I was in the financial industry years ago, which was a hundred percent commission. I was in this in the States, in the mortgage business in California, and a very, very competitive market with the broker's license, which is like 53 00:08:09.790 --> 00:08:17.120 jen freeman: and it my God! It was so painful! It was so painful, and I I finally used this tool to understand it was 54 00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:19.269 jen freeman: I was totally in the wrong place. 55 00:08:19.450 --> 00:08:38.956 Sarah Santacroce: Right? Yeah, yeah, that's exactly how understanding who we are and how we're wired helps us. Then, you know, choose the the right career path, but also the right business plan and the right business module and and marketing tools, etc, etc. Yeah, 56 00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:52.009 Sarah Santacroce: So would you say that, like, I think there's some kind of misconception, maybe, about open centers, like people think they're kind of 57 00:08:52.160 --> 00:09:00.350 Sarah Santacroce: scared about open centers. Maybe. Because yeah. Tell us, tell us why, what's the fear behind these open centers? 58 00:09:00.530 --> 00:09:08.459 jen freeman: Yeah, so so the thing about the open centers, is it? Well, if we basically just go with it, all human beings seem to tend to want to be in control. 59 00:09:08.630 --> 00:09:12.180 Sarah Santacroce: And so the open centers are where they are not in control. 60 00:09:12.180 --> 00:09:12.550 Sarah Santacroce: Right? 61 00:09:12.550 --> 00:09:29.789 jen freeman: By definition. It's like they're not in control. Right? It's like, this is where, if different influences, different information. But the positive side of this is. It's where you're you're here to be wise in those centers. It's like you're constantly having wine tasting of all these different possibilities. So 62 00:09:30.280 --> 00:09:35.460 jen freeman: when you are defined. You. You're just it. You're not actually wise about it. You just are. It. 63 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:36.300 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 64 00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:48.169 jen freeman: But where you're open is where you get to taste all these different people's fields and energies. And so like again going back to the open heart example. So I'm here to be wise about what is truly a value. 65 00:09:48.990 --> 00:09:54.049 jen freeman: and that is a very big difference versus trying to prove I am valuable. 66 00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:07.609 jen freeman: which is where the people have it fixed, are trying to prove that they're valuable. And again, it's correct for them, right? They're supposed to get out there and be like woo, you know, especially in the States. We're so very sales oriented. So you know they they succeed very well in those environments. 67 00:10:07.770 --> 00:10:09.159 jen freeman: But if you don't. 68 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:18.630 jen freeman: if you understand so like, even right now, sitting with you, I feel completely grounded and confident that what we're talking about has great wisdom and great application. 69 00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:21.540 jen freeman: but it has nothing to do with me. 70 00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:29.299 jen freeman: It's I'm I'm just. I'm just expressing what I've taste, tested and learned, and then I that ideally, I want them to go apply it 71 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:29.970 jen freeman: right. 72 00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:30.790 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 73 00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.696 jen freeman: I've tasted. Yeah, go ahead. 74 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.860 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, yeah, this is good. So I have this 75 00:10:38.628 --> 00:10:42.040 Sarah Santacroce: spreadsheet in front of me, where 76 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.220 Sarah Santacroce: I basically looked at my undefined centers. 77 00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:46.990 Sarah Santacroce: And then I 78 00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:59.619 Sarah Santacroce: given your like, we we did a class together that you taught and given that information. I basically sat down and said, Here's what I'm selling. 79 00:11:00.210 --> 00:11:12.570 Sarah Santacroce: because it's placed in the undefined centers. Right? So, for example, I have an undefined heart and ego. And so what I'm selling is worthiness 80 00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:19.409 Sarah Santacroce: or belonging to community or adaptation in times of shock 81 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:25.009 Sarah Santacroce: or ethics. So these kind of things. 82 00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:36.809 Sarah Santacroce: because that's what I'm constantly learning because of my undefined heart and ego. That's exactly what I'm here to, you know, give and share and sell. 83 00:11:36.930 --> 00:11:43.529 Sarah Santacroce: So that's would you say, that's an applied example of of how we can? 84 00:11:43.640 --> 00:11:46.029 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, tap into these open centers. 85 00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:49.559 jen freeman: Yes, and really harness their power. 86 00:11:49.980 --> 00:12:13.219 jen freeman: It's like, in a way, realizing what, Major, you're in in university. You're like, oh, biologist, right? This whole time. I was trying to, you know, be a Wall Street, and now you know or do business analysis. But I'm actually meant to be over here, and the sense of relief, the sense of oh, it all makes sense and the sense of not putting pressure on yourself anymore. To be something that you're not 87 00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:18.809 jen freeman: is so big, so like I have a chart of an entrepreneur. As an example. 88 00:12:19.310 --> 00:12:23.300 jen freeman: so much of my design. I'm designed to get out there do stuff. 89 00:12:24.020 --> 00:12:36.089 jen freeman: but I know I know that's my chart. I know that's my design. But I'm I'm here. So I have a lot of energy, basically. And I have the gate of power connected to my throat, so I know, when I speak that it will be heard 90 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:41.050 jen freeman: right one way or the other. You know I can't say if they're gonna like what they're hearing, but what it's gonna be heard. 91 00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:44.530 jen freeman: whereas if someone does not have a fixed throat center. 92 00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:50.410 jen freeman: then what that means is, they don't have consistent access to their voice 93 00:12:50.640 --> 00:13:04.030 jen freeman: being heard, so they often will have lots of stories like self-talk stories right about oh, people don't love me, or they don't like me, or they're not listening to me, but really on a mechanics level, they just don't have a fixed 94 00:13:04.130 --> 00:13:10.029 jen freeman: throat. So in that case they could learn. If they have something important to communicate, maybe write an email, write a letter 95 00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:14.090 jen freeman: that written communication could be received much better than spoken. 96 00:13:14.260 --> 00:13:16.579 Sarah Santacroce: Right, yeah. 97 00:13:16.580 --> 00:13:31.360 jen freeman: Sometimes people with open voices are so wise about the nature of speech that they become like incredible speakers. So it's it. But it depends on how how they're what they're telling themselves about it, right? Like, oh, no one listens. 98 00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:38.060 jen freeman: It's it's really it's so. It's so literal and physical and mechanical. That's the other thing. It's 99 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.429 jen freeman: yeah. The throat is a big, big topic, a big topic. 100 00:13:41.430 --> 00:13:52.340 Sarah Santacroce: And it's a big topic in marketing as well, because you know the throat is your voice, and how you are going to be heard, and so, understanding 101 00:13:52.650 --> 00:14:20.139 Sarah Santacroce: what your role is in this lifetime, and how you're supposed to be sharing that voice. Well, that's that's kind of a big deal right. And if you're forcing yourself to do one thing like you know, speaking on stage. But then you find out after a reading. Well, that's not exactly what's going to be easy for you. It's still doable, probably, but it's not going to be easy for you. 102 00:14:20.510 --> 00:14:25.166 jen freeman: Exactly well, and and to your point, I'm I'm in the process like we chatted about it. 103 00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:37.099 jen freeman: This in inspiration came to me. I mean, it's I'm workshopping. But I'm my current note. Name is the current current Newsletter. So I have the. My. One of my main gates is the basically the now 104 00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:50.540 jen freeman: I'm literally the voice of the now. So this is part of me using my voice of like, I'm just so aware of the now. And you know I have a background with astrology and cosmologies, and and I've very drawn to create a newsletter 105 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.910 jen freeman: to help people in real time 106 00:14:53.020 --> 00:15:02.489 jen freeman: be with, especially as things are changing so radically that there's an underlying support that they can lean into the quality of time. There's a consistency in the quality of time. 107 00:15:02.990 --> 00:15:11.550 jen freeman: and it's straight up. It's it's part of me being like I am the voice of the now, that's all I ever talk about to anyone all the time. Right. 108 00:15:11.550 --> 00:15:12.230 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 109 00:15:12.270 --> 00:15:20.410 jen freeman: So it's cool, because I just feel like, all right, just try it. You've been doing it for years, anyway. Why not just do it, and so it gives it so I feel a sense of confidence. 110 00:15:20.410 --> 00:15:23.059 Sarah Santacroce: It gives you these insights. Right? The. 111 00:15:23.140 --> 00:15:24.379 jen freeman: It really does. 112 00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:34.330 Sarah Santacroce: Yes, I want to take another example from from my what I written down. Oh, as you know, I have a undefined head. 113 00:15:34.590 --> 00:15:49.730 Sarah Santacroce: and so a big thing of what I'm selling is inspiration. Right? Is change, inspiration to do things differently. So yeah, understanding that. And just saying. 114 00:15:50.800 --> 00:16:10.839 Sarah Santacroce: because people kind of wonder sometimes, you know, family members like, what are you doing like? You're writing books like, how does that make any money? Or I'm like, well, that's that's my role in this lifetime is to inspire and bring about change and talk about change. And so just. 115 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:32.549 Sarah Santacroce: And it's not always easy to accept that either. To say, you know, is this like what I'm doing like? Shouldn't I be going back to, you know, selling Linkedin profile reviews and things like that? But I was not happy in that role, right? And I'm also a 5 1, as you know. And so it's all about. 116 00:16:32.630 --> 00:16:51.410 Sarah Santacroce: you know, spreading the message to a large audience. And so understanding that and going, okay, so yeah, I'll just accept that role. And this is what I do is, yeah, it's kind of like this big relief and big understanding as well. 117 00:16:51.780 --> 00:17:13.130 jen freeman: Oh, that's so beautiful. And and just I wanna point out to your listeners that part of what Sarah's talking about right now is that over the years we've known each other. Is that so? Being a 5, 1 means part of her role is one to many. She's here to amplify messages to larger groups of people, where, when she was selling the Linkedin profile that was one to one essentially. 118 00:17:13.130 --> 00:17:14.099 Sarah Santacroce: Right, yeah. 119 00:17:14.109 --> 00:17:16.119 jen freeman: And so it was not the right 120 00:17:16.469 --> 00:17:31.719 jen freeman: use where you can feel, and it just is off. It's like you're wearing like shoes a size too small, with a pebble in it. You know it just feels wrong. So it's in. And that's the thing. Also, like Sarah just expressed that accepting your design does not mean 121 00:17:32.309 --> 00:17:34.539 jen freeman: oh, no, I guess I just have to like 122 00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:51.059 jen freeman: oh, it's right. It's not like you're settling like you're like, oh, I had these dreams, and then, you know, and now I'm just going to settle for my design. It's like No, no, your design. The more you align with it, then totally unexpected synchronicities and possibilities open up things you could never have imagined. 123 00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.060 Sarah Santacroce: It's. 124 00:17:52.060 --> 00:17:55.499 jen freeman: And that's part of the mystery of all of this, you know. 125 00:17:55.850 --> 00:18:11.800 jen freeman: and as Sarah knows, I have a 20 plus years of Qigong background which is working with Chi for those who don't know it, working with energy. And this just completely maps to Qigong as well. You have to know your piece of the puzzle, as my teacher would say. If you know your piece of the puzzle. 126 00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:14.400 jen freeman: then you can fall into the hole effortlessly. 127 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:30.289 jen freeman: But if you're fighting your piece of the puzzle, and you're and you're like struggling to be something else. You can't actually connect into all the resources clients. It's it's it's it's so paradoxical, but it's like the more you can accept the limitation, the more you can thrive. 128 00:18:30.540 --> 00:18:39.099 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm, yeah, it's beautiful. There's there's another thing that I wrote down here is that I'm selling to twos. 129 00:18:39.260 --> 00:18:39.790 Sarah Santacroce: So. 130 00:18:39.790 --> 00:18:40.700 jen freeman: Yeah. 131 00:18:40.950 --> 00:18:41.850 Sarah Santacroce: That. 132 00:18:42.620 --> 00:18:50.200 Sarah Santacroce: How does that have to do? What does that have to do with the with the centers? Or is that something else? I can't remember how we got to that. 133 00:18:50.520 --> 00:19:01.199 jen freeman: Yeah, yeah, me, neither. Actually, the lines that's in lines and profile stuff. And that's styles of learning. That's so. It's not. It's not actually, it's not the centers. It's. 134 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:02.329 Sarah Santacroce: That's about the centers. Okay. 135 00:19:02.330 --> 00:19:02.949 jen freeman: Sounded like. 136 00:19:02.950 --> 00:19:04.649 Sarah Santacroce: Action from the centers. Okay. 137 00:19:04.650 --> 00:19:07.359 jen freeman: Yeah, it's more like a well 138 00:19:07.450 --> 00:19:31.910 jen freeman: to be just for those whose minds might be like, huh? So there's Gates, and those gates are fixed in a hexagram from the I Ching. The I Ching has 6 lines, so so part of what Sarah is saying is that like? So let's say she has 53, and 54 is her son and earth right? So if it's 0 point 2, it means the second line of the Hexagram. So it's incredibly precise and specific 139 00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:53.120 jen freeman: and very helpful. But but in the twos just also complete. They're they are projecting outward. But they don't actually understand. Other people can see them. They're kind of very mysterious, the twos, you know. And so in a lot of ways, Sarah, with the 5 of like she's holding up the flag of like, Hey, I've got answers over here. 140 00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:55.430 jen freeman: Opportunities to be like. 141 00:19:55.730 --> 00:20:02.869 jen freeman: can someone actually help me, you know, and of course many of us will be going towards the 5, but also 2 and 5 142 00:20:03.020 --> 00:20:14.029 jen freeman: are related in the lower Hexagram and the upper hexagram. It goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so 2 and 5 are are both projected on as well. 143 00:20:14.030 --> 00:20:14.940 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm, so. 144 00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:18.619 jen freeman: So. So there's a deep relationship between the fives and the twos. 145 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.649 Sarah Santacroce: So okay, let's bring it back to the the centers. What? What? 146 00:20:24.470 --> 00:20:29.620 Sarah Santacroce: you know? What else can you tell us about these centers? I think they like a 147 00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:38.230 Sarah Santacroce: I feel like they come with a lot of vulnerability and and conditioning, as you have mentioned before. Right? So there's a big 148 00:20:38.540 --> 00:20:41.260 Sarah Santacroce: opportunity for healing, I guess. 149 00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:57.110 jen freeman: Such a big opportunity. And so and this is where, understanding that we are all conditioned. It's the nature of being a human being that from the moment we're born we're being conditioned. We call it culture. We call it family, right? So no one gets out of conditioning. So this is not 150 00:20:57.250 --> 00:21:07.760 jen freeman: this, is it? This is part of being human being. So then, from that place you can then go. Okay. How do I be wise about my conditioning. So I I have a totally open Asna of the thinking mind. 151 00:21:08.090 --> 00:21:23.740 jen freeman: And so and again, this is never ending. You're constantly refining this. It's not like you learn it once, and then you move on. It's like it's constant. So I've been in this past couple of months, and a very deep understanding of how deeply my mind is stimulated. 152 00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:50.990 jen freeman: and how important it is for me to be very aware and careful of what I put into my mind, especially as we're in all of these changes all over the world, right? As we're in this great moment of emergency emergence. There's a lot of people pouring a lot of fear and panic into the field where it's not good for my mind at all. Not that it's good for any mind, right, but if you have a fixed mind. It's not going to hit you the same. So I had to have a really deep process of being with. 153 00:21:51.310 --> 00:22:07.500 jen freeman: Who am I gonna look to for information. How am I gonna interact, you know, especially being in the States right enough, said the States. Quite a place right now. So and it was very pivotal to me to be like. Look, your mind is incredibly sensitive. 154 00:22:08.060 --> 00:22:14.509 jen freeman: You don't help anyone or anything by flooding your mind with all of this toxicity. 155 00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:18.770 jen freeman: I'm not designed for it, you know, someone with a fixed mind 156 00:22:19.020 --> 00:22:25.020 jen freeman: in a lot of ways. They're they're meant to be out there like hitting people with their thoughts. Basically, it's like they can like, do this. 157 00:22:25.020 --> 00:22:28.710 Sarah Santacroce: They're the ones invading you with their stories. Right? 158 00:22:28.710 --> 00:22:49.379 jen freeman: You know. And so and that's something where I've been. I really had to come to peace with and really, deeply be like, okay, if I feel drawn, I will go. Listen to a person, you know an article, a podcast. But other than that, I'm going to trust spirits going to bring me what I need to know, to play my part hopefully for the the benefit of all beings. Right? The sense of but it's part of that. 159 00:22:50.140 --> 00:23:00.760 jen freeman: I got to be real about the vulnerability, and both my parents had fixed minds so also to bring in again family. So in this journey of learning, how deeply their minds 160 00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:02.790 jen freeman: impacted me. 161 00:23:03.020 --> 00:23:13.289 jen freeman: So really, bit by bit, over time, unpacking like, Oh, wait! That's Mom's fears. Oh, that's oh, wait! That's how Dad approaches it right, and they're both fives. 162 00:23:13.520 --> 00:23:25.909 jen freeman: So they have a very different gig. I'm a i'm a 1 3. So I'm much more my own test tube. I get to come out and share my research right. But I got conditioned to think I was supposed to be 163 00:23:26.040 --> 00:23:38.809 jen freeman: something else, and that was very painful. So again, the more you can recognize your conditioning. And so the great place for your listeners to start very simply, I mean, complexly, but simply. Look at your family origin. 164 00:23:39.390 --> 00:23:52.699 jen freeman: What was held as values? Right? Was it money? Was it education? Was it family? Were they very open-minded and international? Were they very closed-minded like like, and not from a judgment place. Just true observation. 165 00:23:53.070 --> 00:24:03.289 jen freeman: and then look at your own centers. Look, where are you? Open, where were you being conditioned? If you have the capacity, you can run free charts all over the place. You could look at your mom and dad's chart if you knew the birth info. 166 00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:08.070 jen freeman: and you can. Just that is profound, profound. 167 00:24:08.070 --> 00:24:09.670 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm, hmm. 168 00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:16.300 jen freeman: So that's a great place to start right. And then, if we want to go straight to marketing business application. 169 00:24:16.600 --> 00:24:36.210 jen freeman: look at your business model. Look at your design right? And and so let's again take me because I know my design. When I was in 100 commission, financial huge egos everywhere. It was not my strength at all. But once I let go. I've had this coaching and consulting business for 12 years. 170 00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:49.879 jen freeman: I'm just being me bringing forward my research. That's all about spirit embodiment. These are my gates. How do you bring spirit into matter? How do you truly be aligned with the now in a powerful way and speak powerfully. 171 00:24:50.030 --> 00:24:53.279 jen freeman: so I just let go into it, and I'm very happy. 172 00:24:53.889 --> 00:24:54.500 Sarah Santacroce: Happy. 173 00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:57.870 jen freeman: Don't feel like I'm swimming upstream. People just find me. 174 00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:13.920 jen freeman: I just it's great. So that's what I would love for them to hear as well is just. If you feel like you're stuck, or suffering, or difficult man, there is a way, and it's not far or hard. It's actually right in front of you and these centers. 175 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:19.130 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. And what I, what I like about this is that we're not trying to. 176 00:25:19.910 --> 00:25:25.059 Sarah Santacroce: you know, use human design as some kind of tactic that we're now going to 177 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:43.200 Sarah Santacroce: go into psycho mode, and, you know, try to get because we don't have access to our clients. Human design, usually, at least not our prospects. Human design. It's all about finding out more who you are. 178 00:25:43.450 --> 00:25:43.880 jen freeman: Yes. 179 00:25:43.880 --> 00:26:06.409 Sarah Santacroce: Using that to your advantage, and being more authentic, being the real, you right that that's what this is all about, and and for people listening. I think they probably understand by now that this is complex, you know, like this is very complex. There's all these different layers. 180 00:26:06.970 --> 00:26:26.749 Sarah Santacroce: And yeah, if if you're interested in finding out more and going a bit deeper. Well, Jen is coming back to us to the Humane marketing circle to do another workshop on June 4, th Jen, tell us a little bit what we're going to be doing on June 4.th 181 00:26:26.970 --> 00:26:55.399 jen freeman: Great. So one of my favorite things to do with coaching groups, such as Sarah's, is that we'll have an introduction looking at the main thing. But then we're going to have 5 people that will have their charts in advance that are essentially on the hot seat. So we get to talk for 5 to 10 min with each person, and look at the application so that you in real time can learn. You can see. And it's just fascinating how different each person is right. And then you hear their stories of how they've been applying it, or what they're doing in their business. And it's 182 00:26:55.490 --> 00:27:18.800 jen freeman: it's it is so inspiring. Speaking of, you know, inspiration right? So hopefully, you would leave that workshop both with an idea of how your own charts working, looking at like, where? Where are the strengths like? Where? Where? You're already playing to your strengths? And so you're like great. Just more of that, and be able to go. Oh, right, I'm trying to do this over here, you know. Maybe I should not do that. And so I think you we learn so much from each other 183 00:27:19.820 --> 00:27:23.559 jen freeman: to see multiple people, especially in this back to back way. 184 00:27:23.910 --> 00:27:26.559 jen freeman: It's like magic. It really is like magic. 185 00:27:26.560 --> 00:27:31.930 Sarah Santacroce: Exactly. Even if your chart doesn't get picked. It's like, Oh, wow! I have this one, too. So 186 00:27:31.930 --> 00:27:32.969 Sarah Santacroce: yeah, no wonder 187 00:27:32.970 --> 00:27:56.720 Sarah Santacroce: I'm doing this. And I like this marketing tactic. Or no wonder I don't like that one. So yeah, so much wisdom coming out of that. So I can't wait to. Yeah, to have you talk to us about open and or defined and undefined centers. But for people who can't make it to the workshop, please tell 188 00:27:56.980 --> 00:28:02.410 Sarah Santacroce: tell listeners where they can find you and your newsletter that you're going to be. 189 00:28:02.410 --> 00:28:31.209 jen freeman: Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So my website's Jen Freemanco, JENF. REEM, a, n.co. And I offer one of the things is I call them the Decode, your design sessions. And I've actually created my own method includes human design, astrology, numerology, and something called the personality system because I really love Meta context. I love looking at the real big picture and then helping give people a strategy of how to, because to me how to live a happy life. 190 00:28:31.300 --> 00:28:47.649 jen freeman: It's like really loving, understanding your vehicle understanding like what who you are, what you're here to do. And so so. And I also do ongoing coaching with people based on this kind of stuff as well. And one thing I want to say just to really. 191 00:28:47.860 --> 00:29:01.239 jen freeman: I really hope from my heart to your heart. Whoever's listening as much as there's complexity, and there is. There is a simplicity here that if you, if you only heard this. Just understand, there's a way that you are 192 00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:19.799 jen freeman: a radio station that's putting out, and there's a way that you are receiving. If you want to call it Yin and Yang. There's a fundamental dynamic going, and the more you can be curious about that, the more you're going to free yourself up from so much, so just even that alone could take you so far. 193 00:29:19.800 --> 00:29:35.750 Sarah Santacroce: What I'll never forget from our reading is is where you showed me. You know the push against and the resistance that creates. And yeah, that image keeps coming back. I'm like, don't push, don't push, it's not. It's not going to be easier. So just. 194 00:29:36.231 --> 00:29:42.970 jen freeman: I'm good. I'm so glad. And I really it's a great joy. This 195 00:29:43.110 --> 00:29:59.169 jen freeman: this whole thing Sarah and I are talking about, and we both share this as a value, I feel confident in it. We want to see a world that's happier and healthier, where people are more engaged. They're not stuck in their conditioning. They're bringing forward their unique gifts. They're able to. Really. 196 00:29:59.330 --> 00:30:10.749 jen freeman: it is going to be through business. It's gonna be through how we connect with each other. It's just, and that's part of both our passion. We want people to really know who they are and succeed and thrive everywhere in our lives. 197 00:30:11.570 --> 00:30:20.709 Sarah Santacroce: Beautiful. So yeah, please join us humane dot marketing forward slash workshop. And it's taking place on June 4.th 198 00:30:21.110 --> 00:30:29.710 Sarah Santacroce: Thanks so much for doing this little preview for our listeners here on the podcast and I can't wait to see you. Thanks, Jen. 199 00:30:29.850 --> 00:30:31.130 jen freeman: I look forward to it.

When is it ethical to kill one thing to save another? Lethal intervention is a common practice in the field of wildlife management, especially when the survival of a species hangs in the balanceFor as long as we've existed, human beings have employed killing as one of our primary responses to adversity. We seem to believe at some deep level that if we have a problem, killing the manifestation of that problem might just make it go away. This is the logic of political assassinations, revenge plots, and the endings of most Hollywood blockbusters. But when we actually apply this logic to the more-than-human world, what does it mean for the species and ecosystems we're impacting? And what does it mean for us?In this episode, we're facing this essential moral dilemma as we learn a way to navigate the tension between collective and individual well-being.— — —Find credits, a transcript, and citations at futureecologies.net/listen/fe-6-4-humane-beingFuture Ecologies is completely independent and listener supported.

Have we, as the design field, contributed to the erosion of our social fabric over the last years...I had a big week recently. My daughter received the news about which high school she'll be attending next year. In the Netherlands, we have a lottery system for high schools; you list multiple options and hope fortune smiles upon you for your first choice. The second option on my daughter's list involved a 45-minute bike ride, which is quite a journey, even by Dutch standards.A few weeks prior, we'd made that bike ride together to visit the school. Reflecting on those 45 minutes, it struck me.The experience is, of course, completely different when you make that journey alone compared to when you're riding alongside your best friend to school.Suddenly, those 45 minutes take on a totally new meaning. So, in this case to make the journey more enjoyable, you don't have to redesign the roads, you need to design for connection.This got me thinking: What if we shifted our focus in design? What would happen if we started designing more for groups instead of just individuals, for 'together' instead of 'alone,' for co-experience and communities? And what is the price we pay if we don't? It seems that many other fields already embraced the importance of community, while design seems to be trailing behind, why is that?These questions have been going through my mind a lot lately.That's why I was particularly excited to chat with James Lang. James, a founder of the collective Together by Design, has spent the last few years deeply immersed in the world of community design.In this episode, we explore why community design is an essential, yet often overlooked, part of the service design toolkit and share practical ways to build stronger connections through design.So if you're looking to design better, more humane services while strengthening our communities at the same time, this is the perfect episode for you.James and I had a fun debate about the art and science of knowing if your community is "working". I'm curious which side you'll lean towards after listening.Keep making a positive impact and design for community!~ Marc--- [ 1.

A good death should be a right not a privilege — Do you agree? Listen to this week's podcast to learn about how our incarcerated population dies behind bars. The Humane Prison Hospice Project provides training to incarcerated individuals, empowering them to support their peers by building on the knowledge many already possess and fostering a sense of purpose for both those offering care and those receiving it. I found that learning about this program and the people that it serves opened a whole different door for me on considering death and dying. I think you'll find this to be an episode that stays with you, long after the closing music fades.https://humaneprisonhospiceproject.org/https://www.facebook.com/humaneprisonhospiceprojectcahttps://www.instagram.com/humaneprisonhospiceproject

In this episode, we sit down with the Humane Educators of Texas to dive into their incredible work across the country.

In this episode of Humane Marketing podcast, I'm joined by Rachel Allen for a deep dive into The Science of Buying. We explore how neuroscience and psychology quietly shape our buying decisions—and how understanding this can lead to more humane, effective sales. From Rachel's “magic equation” for building trust, to knowing when your message says just enough, this conversation is packed with insights for entrepreneurs who want to sell with empathy, not manipulation. Whether you're writing sales copy, nurturing relationships, or rethinking your entire approach, this episode will inspire a more connected and compassionate way to grow your business. Here's what we covered in this episode: Some surprising ways neuroscience and psychology influence our buying decisions—often before we're even aware of it. Rachel's ‘magic equation' for sales—and how it helps build trust and connection. The subtle power of great sales copy and messaging to spark interest before someone consciously realizes they want to buy. How to know when you've said enough—or maybe too much—in a sales message. Why, in a world driven by data and demographics, empathy and psychology are actually the stronger tools for real connection. The full ecosystem of a humane sales process—and how things like sales pages, nurture emails, and gentle follow-ups all weave together.   Watch this episode on YouTube Join us for the upcoming Collab Workshop on May 7th where we open our community, the Humane Marketing Circle to the public, for a small donation. --   Speaker 0:  hi, rachel. it's good to have you back, returning guest to the humane marketing podcast. welcome. Speaker 1:  thank you. thank you. i'm so excited to be back. i always love, uh, repeat podcasts in general, but especially talking with you. Speaker 0:  yeah. thank you. it's it's really good when you get to know one another. right. like, kind of kind of on a deeper level. i think the conversations are are different. yeah. Speaker 1:  yeah. everybody gets to, like, drop their marketing face and just have a a human to human conversation. Speaker 0:  exactly. yeah. so we decided to do another collab workshop. uh, you've been in the community before and you're i'm excited to have you back. and this time, we're gonna talk about the science of buying. right? so from the buyer's perspective, uh, more so from the seller's perspective, but understanding what's going on in the buyer's head so that we can then, you know, cater to that and then not in a manipulative way, of course, but just like in an empathy kind of way. it's like, oh, okay. i know what's going on in their heads so that i can write the sales page, the emails. so that's kind of like what we're gonna be talking about. so you have looked at this, uh, more deeply and also kind of like the neuroscience and psychology, uh, behind this idea of, well, what's going on in the buyer's head. um, obviously, there's all these tactics out there that are based on neuroscience. i'm pretty sure that's not what you're gonna tell us to do, but, um, yeah, i i'd love to hear your thoughts on all of that. Speaker 1:  yeah. well, i you know, you're correct. i don't have seven steps to, you know, manipulate people using their brains because i think that's based on such a false understanding of how humans actually work. and this may sound like a slight digression, but just to give you the understanding of where i'm coming from psychologically with this, a lot of those tactics are based on a school of psychology and understanding of the human, uh, mind called behaviorism. so if you ever thought about, like, bf skinner and pavlov, that's behaviorism. right? it's like, oh, we push the button and that makes the thing happen and then we get the outcome. that works on a small scale with humans in limited conditional circumstances. but what the opposing school of that, which is called humanism, has found is that humans are driven by their will. we each have our free will. we decide things, and that's how we recreate things, and we bring, um, a lot of chaos actually to the sales process because we're human. and you can never just set up the internet atm where it's like, well, i put in input a and i get out output b because there's a human involved and you never know what's gonna happen. Speaker 0:  yeah. yeah. i like that. is it actually called humanism? that's that's a term for it. uh, that makes so much sense. yes. so so yeah. what are some of these strategies or or things that you have learned and that you feel like, you know, that feels good rather than, yeah, we're just abusing, uh, neuroscience and using it in in our favor? Speaker 1:  right. yeah. it's i've never been a fan of, uh, lab rat tactics. you know? well, it's, oh, let's, like, poke them and see what happens. that just doesn't feel good to me, and it's also not really effective. so, um, the main things that i remind people when i'm teaching this are that you don't have to be a mind reader to understand what someone's going through in a sales process because you're a person too. we all kind of go through the same phases, which is i have a problem. maybe i realize that. maybe i don't realize it. maybe i don't even know what the problem is, but i'm like, uh, like, just i'm in discomfort or, like, something's not working. i need to get somewhere else than where i am now. then we tend to go through a period of exploration. right? what do i actually want? do i know? i don't know. maybe i could find out. i'll try this thing. i'll try that thing. and then finally, we find something where we're like, okay. i'm pretty sure that's gonna be the thing or it's at least worth a try. should i do it? and then we go through this period of having to convince ourselves. mhmm. and that's where the opportunity is with sales pages and, um, lesser nurture campaigns. those come a little bit before. but people usually focus on that, like, oh, do i buy it or do i not area when they come to sales pages and the whole conversation is a huge part of it. Speaker 0:  i like that. the conversation is a huge part of it. so, essentially, what you're saying is, like, the sales page should feel like a conversation addressing these thoughts that go through the buyer's head. right? uh, that's that's that's good. um, so so you talk about this magic equation, uh, for sales. uh, maybe, uh, i know we're gonna go more deeply into it in the workshop, but maybe you could just kind of give us a sneak preview of of what that is. what's the magic equation for sales? Speaker 1:  oh, i was so excited when i finally was able to articulate this. so for a sale to happen, you have to get the right thing in front of the right person at the right time and in the right way. and if any one of those factors is off, the sale doesn't happen. Speaker 0:  and i saw your linkedin post on that, and i was like, yes. that's it. exactly. yeah. go ahead. Speaker 1:  why, um, well, that's why people get so i think they take so much, uh, responsibility on themselves with sales, and they try to control these factors that they really can't control because, like, you can't control when someone's going to encounter your thing. you can't control the way in which they encounter it. you can make the best thing you can, and you can understand whoever your ideal person is. like, you've got the most control over those two factors, but you have no control over the other two. and so people get so, like, wrapped up in this idea of, oh, i'm bad at marketing or, oh, i'm bad at sales because i can't control the flow of time. and when you say it like that, it's like, well, of course, that's a bit silly. but so much marketing advice is predicated on, like, well, no, you should just, like, control these things. how, how are you supposed to do that? Speaker 0:  yeah. yeah. it's so good. and it reminds me of, um, something i talk about in the selling, like we're human book. i, uh, i think i make the point of, uh, the, the, the idea that more sales calls does not equal more sales necessarily. because if your, like, intake form, for example, is not clear or your marketing is not good, then you can talk to tons of people. but if they're not at the right point in time, like the point you're making, well, then you're basically just i guess you're telling yourself i'm busy. i'm selling. you know? but then you're gonna be disappointed because you're not making the sales because people are just not at that readiness point to to actually buy. um, i feel there's a lot of pressure to, you know, do all these sales calls and then and then obviously they become pushy because you feel like, oh my god, i'm so exhausted after 10 sales calls and nobody buys. and then you try to, you know, get more and more pushy. uh, but but yeah. it's the opposite of of humane selling for sure. Speaker 1:  yeah. that equation. right? that's not humane to you as the person who's doing selling either. and, like, i really love this metaphor of the conversation because if there's a conversation where one person is just monologuing at you, like, what do you naturally physically do? you know, when that guy in the bar comes up to you, you're like, um. but and that's what happens with marketing. but if you can turn this around and it becomes a conversation, you can create situations in which you don't have to to encounter people at, like, their right moment because they already know you. and so when the moment's right, they come and find you. they lean in towards you, and you don't have to try and stress out about being everywhere all the time because, you know, they know how to get to you. Speaker 0:  mhmm. yeah. yeah. it it reminds me of another post i just saw, uh, on linkedin about, you know, the right now, things are kinda tough with the economy the way it is and talk about recession. and so people get, you know, they they have the scarcity mindset and everybody feels like, well, i should be selling more. but right now, it's probably not the time to sell more, but it is the time to build the trust for future sales and keep being visible. and so, yeah, these conversations to build those in and to into let's talk a little bit about email marketing as well, because that's also part of of the nurturing. right? so so how can we bring more of these conversations into, yes, the sales copy, but also the emails, for example? Speaker 1:  yeah. well, i love i love how you've laid these phases out. right? because we'll see people, and you and i have both been around business and not long enough to see how that this will happen, is that the people who are showing up right now are the ones that when things do turn, they're going to be absolutely inundated with business. and then everybody else is like, oh, wait. i gotta get my emails going. so this is a really good time to get nurture campaigns and other conversations like that going. Speaker 0:  right. Speaker 1:  and to answer your question about, you know, how we incorporate that, i think people have this idea of what a nurture campaign is that's based um, in the mid aughts. like, it's very 02/2008 to very 02/2009. it's like, it's seven emails. and the first one is like, oh my god. you're here. and the second one is like, did you download the thing yet? and then you work up to a sale. right? it's so boring. i hate it so much. i'm seeing a thousand of them. they all are, like, ai generated now. so i invite people to reframe what a nurture campaign is is just it's creating instances for someone to know you over and over again. it's kind of like making it to where you run into each other at the coffee shop every morning, and then you're like, oh, yeah. i know her. so it can be whatever you want it to be. so for instance, in my other business that i do with solve a pet triple diamond, we actually have a repulsion campaign, an anti nurture campaign where we write five emails to our unideal clients. and it's funny, and there's the haiku, and we're like, absolutely not. we even have a song in it. and that's showing who we are instead of being like, we're triple diamond and here are our values. it's like, hey, we wrote a funny haiku about how much we hate elon. you wanna join? that shows you who we are. Speaker 0:  yeah. i talk about the worldview all the time. like, show your worldview, show what your stand what you stand for. and that's a great example. people wanna stay away for from politics. but frankly, right now, like, please, you know, it's no longer the time for business as usual. so, uh, yeah, address politics because clearly, you're you're, yeah, you're you're gonna resonate with the people who who stand for the same things. right? so yeah. we just actually had the the last workshop was about email marketing and and, yeah, she she she basically said the same thing, like or or we had this discussion also, like, what's with the term nurturing anyway? like, people actually said, well, i don't feel nurtured or this is not what nurturing is. right? so, yeah, just kind of understanding that people don't sign up to an email list to feel like to get nurtured. you know, we should we usually sure, like, see for nurturing someone somewhere else. but, um, it's just good to yeah. think about, well, how do people feel when they sign up to something? and how would you feel, uh, when you sign up to to an email list as well and and just apply the same thing? Speaker 1:  and how, like, how do you want them to feel? like, we with our particular campaign, we want them to feel amused and seen and, like, somebody is, like, taking a stand. with other future campaigns, you might want someone to feel, uh, educated. that's another really popular one. you need to, like, bring them through a journey of learning something. so it doesn't have to be this, like, extremely transparent build up to a sale of, like, okay. i'm gonna give you three little, like, gifts, and then you're gonna wanna work with me. like, no. it's thinking about, like, what kind of relationship do you want? what kind of party are we throwing here? how do you want them to feel? Speaker 0:  yeah. and all of that is is part of the trust building. right? Speaker 1:  yeah. that's Speaker 0:  that's what we're doing. another thing you talk about is is data and demographics and why psychology, uh, or, um, what are they called? psychographics are much more important than just, you know, the, yeah, the demographics of your ideal client. so talk to us a little bit about that. Speaker 1:  oh, this is one of my favorite soapboxes. so when people started teaching the concept of a client avatar, they took that from traditional mass marketing and then took, like, two little tiny facets of it and taught those and ignored the rest of it. so people think that what you need to learn about them is like, okay. well, your audience is women and they're between the ages of 35 and 50. uh, they are married and college educated and they like cats. that's not an avatar. that's an imaginary friend, and that doesn't tell you anything about the person. so those are their demographics. their psychographics are how they feel about things and why they feel that way. because you can take people who have extremely similar demographic profiles who have completely different psychographics. and if you try to market to them in the same way, they're probably both going to be turned off because you're just not going to really speak to what either one of them cares about. Speaker 0:  yeah. yeah. it's it's such a huge difference. and then in my marketing, like, we're human program, people are always surprised when i come back with, you know, the the p p of people where we go into the ideal client. a lot of them say, oh, i've already worked on that. and i'm like, yeah, but you haven't worked on it like this. yeah. yeah. we have this. and that's why people are also kind of scared of defining their niche because they feel like, oh, i have to just kind of like have a niche. and, and, you know, usually it's demographic based. it's like, i have to only work with women between this and this age. no, you don't. the minute you bring in your worldview or the psychology of your ideal client, then it opens up. it's like it's based on resonance. because if you put out your worldview into your marketing, then it will only resonate with the, with this ideal client. doesn't matter what gender they are, what age, what race doesn't none of that matters. right? Speaker 1:  yeah. yeah. Speaker 0:  it's it's it's such an important difference. and i i really hope, like, the new kind of marketing people are that's what they're teaching. i don't know. you're more involved still and and and and you're saying that there there's still people out there teaching demographics? Speaker 1:  yeah. it's find your niche. it's you want to be the something for this tiny little subset of people. but that's created this situation in which people are getting into, like, crazy tiny niches because they wanna be different, and that just doesn't do anything for you. Speaker 0:  yeah. yeah. yeah. what about, um, you know, kind of like if we if we go back to the signs of buying. so from the the buyer's perspective, what other things like, if we put ourselves into the head of the buyer, what are the things maybe also if we compare it to ten years ago, how do you think the buyers, um, consciousness and intellect and, you know, the decision making has changed compared to ten years ago maybe. Speaker 1:  so i think that humans are humans, and they're always like, decision making in and of itself, the process is still gonna be the same. you know, we go through this period of, like, there's something wrong. i wanna fix it. what do i do? how do i convince myself i've made a good decision? how do i feel about this? all of that. but i think sales cycles in general are taking longer right now because people are extremely tired. there is so much coming at them all the time. there's no off ever for most people unless they are creating it for themselves. and there's, you know, a pervasive sense of just pessimism and fear and uncertainty. and so i think that means our job as sellers and marketers is to acknowledge that and be honest about it and not try to just be like, yeah. but if you buy my ninety day course, everything will be fine because that's just not true. but you can also create the sense of, like, you know what? i get this. you're scared. and also, we can move over here and we can we can fix this one thing. we can't fix the world, but i can fix this one problem you have. Speaker 0:  yeah. i really like that. so so there's transparency, but there's still also hope and and and being very honest to say, hey, yes. i can promise you, you know, 10 new clients after going through this program. but what i do know that it will fix is this specific thing. yeah. i agree with that because i think i think, yeah, we can't just pretend, you know, it's not uncertain right now, and we don't know where where it's going. we have to treat our clients as smart conscious consumers or or buyers. and and so i think that's super, super important to come over with transparency, but at the same time, you know, knowledgeable and and also, yeah, confident in our offering. so it's kind of like this blend of, uh, or yeah. of of both things. Speaker 1:  yeah. and i think i love how you phrase that, the knowledgeable and confident in the offering. and i think that's so important because what also happens during these times is people, unfortunately, will sometimes jump on a disaster as a marketing trend, and then they use it as this, like, things are so bad. oh my god. we gotta fix it right now. i know things are terrible. and that doesn't help anyone. all that does is add more chaos and fear into the atmosphere. and it's manipulative and gross, you know, to try and profit off of the general fear that is going around right now. it doesn't last. and that's you get a lot of churn that way, but you do not get long term sales. and, also, you just kinda look like a jerk. Speaker 0:  yeah. yeah. uh, and i like the last thing you just said is, like, it will give you you will sell fast, uh, for those who are like, oh, yeah. i'm really scared. okay. i'm gonna buy this thing, and it'll fix all my problems. but then, you know, two months later, they'll one, they won't do the work, um, because they don't have the confidence in themselves. and then two, either they'll if it's a long term, i don't know, a membership or something like that, well, they'll probably check out again or, uh, or you'll you won't get them the results. and then that's that's never good either to have a client who who doesn't get the results. right? so, yeah, it's, uh, it you know, selling is is always a bit of a tricky thing, but i think especially in in in in a downturn economy, it's even it's it's even more tricky. and i think also the the thing you said that people are tired. so what does that mean? like, i was just thinking if people are tired and we come with our, you know, long sales page, long emails, uh, you think we need to adjust our copy a little bit, make it shorter? like, is is that something you would do? Speaker 1:  uh, it depends on the person and the offer. so the thing that i'm finding most effective in terms of tactics or, actually, let me rephrase that. the the key factor that i'm seeing in sales right now is what people's friends say. so if you can create a situation in which they're gonna go to the voxer chat or their whatsapp chat or whatever and be like, okay. rachel allen, how do we feel? and they're like, oh, yeah. she's solid. that's what you want, and that's how people are buying right now. so if you create that kind of situation, um, that's what you want. in terms of length of sales pages and, like, how you engage with people, it depends on your audience. um, some people are really into video right now, especially short form video because they're acclimated to tiktok, and that just works really well for their brain. other people are, like, going you'll see this, like, they're going to substack. right? and so they want these, like, long things. so i think it comes back to knowing your audience. but in general, the sort of equation that i give people for writing copy is the heavier the cognitive or financial lift, the longer the copy should be. Speaker 0:  oh, that's interesting. yeah. so so i think in the workshop, you'll also talk about the faqs at the end. right? so, actually, yeah, the bigger the investment, the more i'm gonna want to know upfront. okay. what are what is all the fine print? what am i getting? like yeah. at least i always know that for my audience is, like, they they they like that there's a lot of info on that page. they might not read it all, but, uh, you know, it's there. and so, yeah, the faq is is definitely an important piece. and and, of course, if it's only, like, a very small amount, then, yeah, maybe shorter is is better. but, again, you need to know your audience and and and understand what's going on in their heads. Speaker 1:  right. yeah. it's an exercise in empathy. it's thinking, like, what do i want? what would i want if i were signing up for this? and if you're working with faqs especially, the types of questions you choose can really show your audience that you care about them and you understand them. because if you're answering questions they don't have, like, who cares? it might make feel like, oh, this isn't for me. but if you can answer those questions that they have themselves or, like, they get to the bottom of the sales page and they're like, oh, i would do this, but if you can address that, you've got the sale. Speaker 0:  right. yeah. yeah. it's kinda like the you know, what you were saying, the the email series to, uh, a non ideal client. it's almost like if you formulate the faqs in a way that addresses also, you know, this is not for you if right then it kind of reconfirms that. oh, yeah. no. uh, this is actually for me when they get to the bottom of the page. Speaker 1:  yeah. absolutely. and if you can frame that in such a way where you're talking about the way they think about who they don't wanna be, you know, then they'll be like, oh, okay. well, like, i'm definitely not that kind of person, so this is for me. and they feel a sense of belonging, and they feel cared for and seen. Speaker 0:  yeah. i wanna come back to the idea that you shared before that it matters what other people or or friends think of us. and and that and this is, yeah, really, really important. it taps into collaboration with other, uh, with other people, what you're doing with apache, what we're doing right here. right? it's kind of like this putting my hand in the fire and saying, yes. uh, you know, i trust rachel. she's aligned with our values. i wanna bring her into the community. i want you to buy her stuff. um, so this kind of partnership, uh, is really, really key. and it it i still don't see it often enough. like, uh, p of partnership is the seventh p of humane marketing. but people feel like, especially beginning entrepreneurs, they have a hard time because they they kind of lack a bit of confidence. they don't have a, you know, a really built out offering yet. um, so is there anything that you would suggest where they can start, you know, creating more partnerships with with others? Speaker 1:  i think, uh, it's just being as generous as you can, um, you know, while still, of course, taking care of yourself. but the best partnerships i've ever had, they even though i've never met these people, you know, they they live on the internet, uh, for me. but it feels like i'll be stepping into their kitchen and being like, oh, let me tell you that sales page for you or like, oh, and they'll do that for me. right? like, pepsi will be like, oh, you know that logo? let's change it a little bit. so it's these these micro, um, i guess, interactions or encounters where people are showing their values, they're demonstrating them, and they're being really generous. and there's no, like, endgame. right? it's not that i'm secretly, you know, editing people's copy to build up to, like, oh, but then they will hire me. i don't care. it's fun for me. it's easy. it takes me absolutely no time whatsoever, and it really helps somebody. and, eventually, maybe we'll work together. or what's much more likely and what tends to happen is they send their friends to me, and that's great too. Speaker 0:  yeah. yeah. exactly. not have that agenda of thinking, oh, she's gonna hire me. no. but who knows? Speaker 1:  who knows? right. yeah. that up there and then something, like, something good comes back more often than not. Speaker 0:  yeah. amazing. yeah. great. well, yeah, like i said, i i look forward to having you back in the in the community for this workshop. do you wanna give us a little sneak preview of what we're gonna build on this content, of course, but any anything you'd like to share, what we're gonna be talking about during that workshop? Speaker 1:  yeah. well, we'll be talking about the psychology of buying and selling, and then we'll talk we'll go into some specifics of how that can look in different settings. so for instance, in a sales page, in a nurture campaign. and by the end, you'll have this matrix like view of seeing how the psychology of buying and selling can play into any copy and content that you do. so when you read something, you'll be like, that's what they're doing or that's what i need to do. and i love teaching like that because now it's not like, oh, here's my sales page template. go and use it until everybody gets bored. it's no. you understand buying. you understand selling, and you can use those principles to form whatever you need to form that's a fit for you, your offer, and your audience. Speaker 0:  yeah. i can't wait. and then if it's anything like the pitching workshop we did, it's very hands on. right? like, we we really get to practice this, which is, um, yeah, it's always the best way to learn. so can't wait to have you in the community. so if anybody wants to join us for this workshop, it's on may 2. and, uh, you can find out all about it at humane.marketing/workshop. we open the community to the public for a small donation, and rachel and i would love to see you there. please also do share rachel where people can find you find out you have a i don't know. it might be too late. can't remember when this, uh, podcast goes out, but you have other workshops also available on your site that, um, i'd love for you to mention. Speaker 1:  yeah. uh, i'm very easy to find on the internet. so my website is boltfromthebluecopywriting.com. you can email me at hello@boltfromthebluecopywriting.com, and i will email you back. um, and on my website, like sarah said, you can find different workshops. i teach one free workshop a month, uh, in april, depending on where this when this airs. it's going to be the internet's favorite bio workshop, how to write a bio that doesn't make you sound boring, braggy, or like you have bad boundaries. and i believe i'm teaching the pitching workshop that i taught in the community, uh, in may, like, not for the community. and then after that, we've got positioning and something else. but, yeah, it's all on the website. Speaker 0:  cool. yeah. highly recommend them. and, uh, yeah, please join us for the the workshop in the community on may 2. wonderful. thanks so much, uh, rachel. i always appreciate talking to you. always learn something new. maybe, uh, last question. where do you do you see any new developments? like, given that all this ai is coming in, like, what's gonna make us stand out from the human, uh, side of things? Speaker 1:  yeah. well, as i've been saying on the internet for, i don't know, forever, human is the only move left. moments like this, whether it's ai, whether it's, you know, the seo update internet apocalypses that come upon us, they're filters and opportunities. and who rises up is whoever is able to be most human and most themselves and most in relationship with the people around them, and that's just how it is. the tools, the tools, the tool. it's gonna stop being shiny after a while. yes. it has absolutely changed the way we work, but it's still us humans, people doing the work together. and so the more you can show up as you as human, the better you're gonna be. Speaker 0:  yeah. it's all it's all on relationships. that's, you know, that's that's how we sell as well. it's really like, have we spent the time building the relationship even if we never see them, but they often feel like they know us because they've been reading our emails or substacks or linkedin posts. so it all matters. yeah. amazing. thanks so much. Speaker 1:  yeah. see you soon.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sat down once again with Aaron Lowry for our third conversation, and it might be the most expansive yet. We touched on the cultural undercurrents of transhumanism, the fragile trust structures behind AI and digital infrastructure, and the potential of 3D printing with metals and geopolymers as a material path forward. Aaron shared insights from his hands-on restoration work, our shared fascination with Amish tech discernment, and how course-correcting digital dependencies can restore sovereignty. We also explored what it means to design for long-term human flourishing in a world dominated by misaligned incentives. For those interested in following Aaron's work, he's most active on Twitter at @Aaron_Lowry.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Stewart welcomes Aaron Lowry back for his third appearance. They open with reflections on cultural shifts post-COVID, the breakdown of trust in institutions, and a growing societal impulse toward individual sovereignty, free speech, and transparency.05:00 – The conversation moves into the changing political landscape, specifically how narratives around COVID, Trump, and transhumanism have shifted. Aaron introduces the idea that historical events are often misunderstood due to our tendency to segment time, referencing Dan Carlin's quote, “everything begins in the middle of something else.”10:00 – They discuss how people experience politics differently now due to the Internet's global discourse, and how Aaron avoids narrow political binaries in favor of structural and temporal nuance. They explore identity politics, the crumbling of party lines, and the erosion of traditional social anchors.15:00 – Shifting gears to technology, Aaron shares updates on 3D printing, especially the growing maturity of metal printing and geopolymers. He highlights how these innovations are transforming fields like automotive racing and aerospace, allowing for precise, heat-resistant, custom parts.20:00 – The focus turns to mechanical literacy and the contrast between abstract digital work and embodied craftsmanship. Stewart shares his current tension between abstract software projects (like automating podcast workflows with AI) and his curiosity about the Amish and Mennonite approach to technology.25:00 – Aaron introduces the idea of a cultural “core of integrated techne”—technologies that have been refined over time and aligned with human flourishing. He places Amish discernment on a spectrum between Luddite rejection and transhumanist acceleration, emphasizing the value of deliberate integration.30:00 – The discussion moves to AI again, particularly the concept of building local, private language models that can persistently learn about and serve their user without third-party oversight. Aaron outlines the need for trust, security, and stateful memory to make this vision work.35:00 – Stewart expresses frustration with the dominance of companies like Google and Facebook, and how owning the Jarvis-like personal assistant experience is critical. Aaron recommends options like GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 and reflects on the difficulty of securing hardware at the chip level.40:00 – They explore software development and the problem of hidden dependencies. Aaron explains how digital systems rest on fragile, often invisible material infrastructure and how that fragility is echoed in the complexity of modern software stacks.45:00 – The concept of “always be reducing dependencies” is expanded. Aaron suggests the real goal is to reduce untrustworthy dependencies and recognize which are worth cultivating. Trust becomes the key variable in any resilient system, digital or material.50:00 – The final portion dives into incentives. They critique capitalism's tendency to exploit value rather than build aligned systems. Aaron distinguishes rivalrous games from infinite games and suggests the future depends on building systems that are anti-rivalrous—where ideas compete, not people.55:00 – They wrap up with reflections on course correction, spiritual orientation, and cultural reintegration. Stewart suggests titling the episode around infinite games, and Aaron shares where listeners can find him online.Key InsightsTranshumanism vs. Techne Integration: Aaron frames the modern moment as a tension between transhumanist enthusiasm and a more grounded relationship to technology, rooted in "techne"—practical wisdom accumulated over time. Rather than rejecting all new developments, he argues for a continuous course correction that aligns emerging technologies with deep human values like truth, goodness, and beauty. The Amish and Mennonite model of communal tech discernment stands out as a countercultural but wise approach—judging tools by their long-term effects on community, rather than novelty or entertainment.3D Printing as a Material Frontier: While most of the 3D printing world continues to refine filaments and plastic-based systems, Aaron highlights a more exciting trajectory in printed metals and geopolymers. These technologies are maturing rapidly and finding serious application in domains like Formula One, aerospace, and architectural experimentation. His conversations with others pursuing geopolymer 3D printing underscore a resurgence of interest in materially grounded innovation, not just digital abstraction.Digital Infrastructure is Physical: Aaron emphasizes a point often overlooked: that all digital systems rest on physical infrastructure—power grids, servers, cables, switches. These systems are often fragile and loaded with hidden dependencies. Recognizing the material base of digital life brings a greater sense of responsibility and stewardship, rather than treating the internet as some abstract, weightless realm. This shift in awareness invites a more embodied and ecological relationship with our tools.Local AI as a Trustworthy Companion: There's a compelling vision of a Jarvis-like local AI assistant that is fully private, secure, and persistent. For this to function, it must be disconnected from untrustworthy third-party cloud systems and trained on a personal, context-rich dataset. Aaron sees this as a path toward deeper digital agency: if we want machines that truly serve us, they need to know us intimately—but only in systems we control. Privacy, persistent memory, and alignment to personal values become the bedrock of such a system.Dependencies Shape Power and Trust: A recurring theme is the idea that every system—digital, mechanical, social—relies on a web of dependencies. Many of these are invisible until they fail. Aaron's mantra, “always be reducing dependencies,” isn't about total self-sufficiency but about cultivating trustworthy dependencies. The goal isn't zero dependence, which is impossible, but discerning which relationships are resilient, personal, and aligned with your values versus those that are extractive or opaque.Incentives Must Be Aligned with the Good: A core critique is that most digital services today—especially those driven by advertising—are fundamentally misaligned with human flourishing. They monetize attention and personal data, often steering users toward addiction or ...
