What does it mean to do "good" as a human being? Is there such a thing as something that is fundamentally "good" or is that purely subjective? Should we follow our feelings and desires, or adhere to a set of rules or laws – like religion – that have been around for millennia? Today's episode features a conversation with Caleb Crutchfield, founder of Collaborate Good, an organization that hosts workplace conversations with people from all different backgrounds and beliefs on questions related to society, culture, and individual flourishing. In this episode, we discuss: -Caleb's background and what led him to doing this work. -Whether there is an objective truth, whether everything is subjective, and how these questions relate to moral action in society. -The question of “what humans are made for” and how this informs our values, beliefs, and social and political norms and rules. -Whether we need religion to guide our behavior or whether we can make moral decisions without it. -Whether technology and social media are “good.” -The merits (and pitfalls) of casual sex, polygamy versus monogamy, and other moral conundrums in our modern world.-And much more!

Meet Jane Grey, Dominatrix and Co-Founder of the Scene and Unscene events. Listen in as Jane opens up about how validation, agency and recognition, drivers behind her acting career, influence her approach to domination; about her plans for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; and how acting school shunned female sexuality. Eva Oh and Jane discuss the place of acting in a session, if they might be able to submit and how they've tried to escape the ego through the names that they've chosen. We hear about cultural theatrics and how they could shape a Dominatrix's ability and the different ways these two Dominatrices structure their businesses.

Is there inherent meaning to the universe, or is it meaningless? Are ethics simply a matter of "matter"—the result of a bunch of firing neurons and the relativistic musings of the mind? Is our current paradigm of what is "true" beginning to be updated? In this episode, we are joined by philosopher and author Zak Stein, who elucidates what it means to acknowledge the “first principles” of the universe—and how failing to do so has led us towards the “meta-crisis” we now face as humanity. Dr. Zachary Stein is a Co-Founder of the Civilization Research Institute and the Center for World Philosophy and Religion. He was trained at the interface of philosophy, psychology, and education and now works in fields related to the mitigation of global catastrophic risk. He is a widely sought-after and award-winning speaker and a leading authority on the future of education and contemporary issues in human development. He is the author of dozens of published papers and books, including Education in a Time Between Worlds. With his colleagues at the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, he helped author their new book, First Principle and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on CosmoErotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come. In this episode, we discuss: -How Zak came to religion and philosophy through music. -The “Meta-crisis” we are currently facing including human-created, existential threats. -Moral relativism versus a worldview that holds first principles/values. -How value is encoded into the universe. -Free will versus determinism. -The myth of the march of progress and the growth of technology as “good.” -How global stress is heightening relativism, separateness, technofeudalism, and moving us closer to a tipping point. -Iain McGilchrist's work on Left and Right hemispheres and how these show up in the collective. -The question of whether society is experiencing a sort of mental illness. -How attention/awareness acts as an organizing force and helps to create more health, interrelation, intimacy, and evolution. -The effects of technology on attention and the manipulation of our attention spans. -The body as a portal to understanding first principles. -Technofeudalism, coercion, manipulation, and social media in our modern world. -The conundrum of whether it is moral to control people for “good” reasons. -Chaos, order, and re-order in the evolution of our society.

"The Work" of Byron Katie is a method of inquiry that helps us get in touch with reality instead getting caught up in the stories in our mind. It is a powerful practice for improving our relationship to ourselves, others, and the world. Sarah Climenhaga is a dedicated facilitator of The Work. She began her career as an environmental advocate in the nonprofit sector before later running for mayor of Toronto with a vision of a free, inclusive, and beautiful city. After the turmoil of the pandemic, she experienced firsthand how much pain came with fighting reality, and how acceptance of even the biggest challenges profoundly affected happiness and peace both for her and for those around her. That led to her decision to embark on a professional career to help others find freedom from suffering. She now guides clients through the practice of The Work in one-on-one sessions and workshops, both online and in person. In this episode, we discuss: -Living in reality versus believing the thoughts and stories that dominate our experience of the world. -The similarities and differences between The Work and psychotherapeutic interventions such as CBT. -Dealing with despair over the planet. -How the world is a mirror of our thoughts. -How The Work impacts our relationships. -Why The Work is not a denial of what is happening in the world but helps us be more effective agents by "cleaning up" our own thoughts first. -Sarah's question/practice around "what is getting in the way of being happy right now?" -The inner conflict of whether we can be happy when the world is suffering. -Sarah guides me through the practice of The Work (~45:00 in the episode).

Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a global trend-watcher who shows people how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot opportunities. He is the author of "The Making of a Generalist," "Think For Yourself," and "Boombustology." He has been a frequent commentator on issues driving disruption in the global business environment. Vikram's ideas and writings have also appeared in Bloomberg, Fortune, Forbes, The New York Times and a long list of other publications. Linkedin twice listed him as their #1 Top Voice for Money, Finance and Global Economics and Worth has profiled him as one of the 100 most powerful people in global finance. Millions of readers have enjoyed his unique multi-lens approach to connecting seemingly irrelevant dots. In this episode, Vikram shares how a “generalist mindset” can help us navigate a world full of complexity and uncertainty; and why, from his perspective, this opens up more creative, innovative, and effective solutions to our global problems. Highlights/quotes from this episode: " Every single perspective is limited, biased, and incomplete. And if that's the case, then why not use more than one perspective to really integrate a view of what's happening in the world?” Specifically, we discuss: -The "migrant mindset" and how his family's immigrant background helped shape him today. -What a "generalist mindset" is and how it helps us connect the dots. -How being a generalist is a "call for empathy" and the integration of multiple perspectives. -Vikram's view of some of the forces contributing to polarization. -How diversifying our media diets and other sources of information can help us think more comprehensively. -How renewable fuel in the U.S. may be tied to the Arab Spring and other examples of global interconnection. -Vikram's "global developments to watch" over the next 5 years. -And much more!

The psychologist Carl Rogers famously wrote, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” The same is often true on a collective level. The more we use shame, blame, and "othering" as tactics to inspire behavior change, the more resistant and defensive people tend to be. This has hardly been more on display than in the highly charged area of climate change. Our guest on this episode, Dr. Renée Lertzman, explains why the status quo approach of "yelling, telling, and selling" on climate action has underperformed its aims based on insights from clinical psychology and behavioral neuroscience. Dr. Renée Lertzman is a researcher, educator and engagement strategist who translates relational psychological insights to change our approach to our planetary crisis. She works with founders, innovators, companies and organizations across public and private sectors, looking to strengthen climate and sustainability initiatives, develop more effective campaigns, and harness the creativity and innovation needed to address our most complex and intractable problems with speed, creativity and imagination. A popular international keynote speaker, trainer and facilitator, she works with organizations, leaders and teams across sectors and regions, including clients such as Google, VMWare, IKEA, California Academy of Sciences, WWF, and the City of London. Learn more about Dr. Renée Lertzman: https://reneelertzman.com/ Learn more about Project Inside Out: https://projectinsideout.net/ Topics covered in this episode: -How Renée's confrontation with our planetary crises shaped her career path as a psychologist. -Understanding social and ecological issues through the lens of trauma. -How polarization on climate has insidiously developed over the last few decades. -The role of safety, threat, and identity in the interpersonal dynamics of climate conversations. -Why shame, blame, and "othering" may be well intended, but are not effective strategies for change. -How to guide people through their ambivalence around action through "Motivational Interviewing" skills. -Renée's work with leaders on the "inner" skills for outer change: self-awareness, self-regulation, and listening and empathy. -Renée's work with consulting, research, and strategic messaging during the 2016 election. -The three A's affecting climate behavior change: Anxiety, Ambivalence, and Aspiration. -"Call out" culture and the alternative opportunity to "call in" or "call off" conversations. -And much more!

Jonathan GoldmanJonathan has been involved in teaching improv classes and workshops in Palm Springs for a number of years.After attending public schools in Brooklyn, NY, Jonathan then trained to be an optometrist in Boston. Upon realizing that there should be more to a career than forever saying, "Which is clearer? One or Two?", he became the first O.D. to get an M.B.A. in Health Administration (from Temple University in Philadelphia). His career took me to Chicago where he taught; and also took Toastmasters classes. In 1983 Jonathan moved to San Francisco and worked for the Department of Public Health for much of the end of our last century. His last two positions were as a Workers Comp Coordinator and a Hospital Trainer. He also presented "Critical Thinking" workshops for various Kaiser Permanente North hospitals' staff and was manager for Project Inform's National HIV/AIDS treatment hotline. Happily discovering the BATS School of Improvisation (then known as Bay Area Theatresports™ in 1998, he soon became the Volunteer Director for their community service program, Laughing Stock, which provides free Improv classes to people living with life-threatening illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Hep C, etc., and their care partners. He continued taking specialty classes, performed occasionally with the Mirth Brokers ensemble under the direction of Gerri Lawlor, and lead Intro to Improv workshops at a variety of HIV/AIDS and men's retreats in northern and southern California and afloat on the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean.Jonathan credits his improv skills for getting him to be a contestant for Wheel of Fortune in 2005. Although landing on a Bankrupt on his first wheel spin and then did the "Ta Dah - Circus Bow" for all of America; he later went on to the Bonus round. According to Slate.Com, he solved one of the 15 toughest WOF puzzles in the past 25 years. Improv also landed him a featured role for the Frameline32 Film Festival trailers as a game show contestant with perpetual wrong answers.Jonathan moved to Palm Springs in February 2014 with his mixed rescue terrier, Roopert, to re-invent himself. Improv has helped keep his spirits youthful (well, that and a good moisturizer) and energized. He performed with Andy Harmon's Acting Improv class at the 2014 Improv/Comedy Festival in Indio. He's always looking forward to making new friends as he offers locals the opportunity to sample the fun and joy that is Improvisational Theater. Improv builds community!Flexible thinking skills gained from Improv: * Increased self-confidence. * Enthused spirit. * Better coping with stressful situations. * Greater freedom of expression. * More spontaneity. * Thinking outside the box. * Creative solutions to challenges. * Letting go of control. * Getting out of your head and into the present. * Improved collaborative efforts = better teamwork. * Making new friends, both real and imaginary.To contact Jonathan or to join in the fun:Web: http://www.theimprovoasis.comPhone: 760-656-8338Photo: Copyright Wilkinson/2022Opening and closing music courtesy the very talented Zakhar Valaha via Pixabay.To contact Wilkinson- email him at BecomingWilkinson@gmail.com

I'm so excited to have my student, Christina, on the podcast this week! I want you to understand the huge impact learning how to manage your mind has on every part of your life. Christina's story is the perfect example! Since taking my 6 month program, she has gone from being scared to talk in front of other people to signing up for an improv class, having no idea what else she wanted to do to enrolling in a 10-week real estate rookie boot camp, and having no idea how to manage her emotions to helping coach those around her. But the most amazing part of her journey is she was able to completely stop taking her anxiety medication. Her anxiety was such a crippling part of her life that she missed out on annual girls trips for years. Not anymore! She went on this year's trip and they're already planning the next one. She really is the poster child for how managing your mind can create a ripple effect in your life. Make sure to listen to the episode to see how she shifted her mindset to start getting massive results in her life.

It's just me on today's episode and I wanted to talk about some of the passions I've been secretly pursuing the past few years! I truly feel like I live a double life sometimes with balancing my blogging, real estate, personal, and now comedy content creation careers. I wanted to talk about my journey from getting the idea to take acting classes, then improv, and now writing and content creation in the comedic space. It's scary to reveal something you've held close to the vest for so long, but I think it's good to get uncomfortable. I ramble a lot in this episode but really wanted to share some personal thoughts and struggles I've had to overcome over the years, and hope it can help someone else who feels nervous to take a leap into something new.

I’m really excited to introduce you all to Antonio Ocampo-Guzman, an actor, director, author, and theater teacher originally from Bogotá, Colombia. He is an Associate Professor at Northeastern University, where he teaches all levels of acting, voice, and improvisation – but not just to theater students. Antonio has developed a number of courses for non-theater students to help people develop their “soft skills,” or interpersonal communication skills – but, as listeners to this podcast know, those skills can be very hard to comprehend and practice. “When you bring people back to playfulness in theater, they rediscover a childlike sense of innocence, playfulness, winningest, and generosity – which makes life much easier.” Antonio designed the first one of these courses about five years ago, for the business school. Shortly thereafter, Dean Carla Brodley asked him to design a similar course for the computer science program. After a short pilot period, it became a required class for every single undergraduate student majoring in Computer and Information Science at Northeastern. “You’re only alive and compelling when there’s a disruption. The status quo only perpetuates injustices and inequalities… and Improv is all a disruption.” Resources: Learn more about Antonio: camd.northeastern.edu/theatre/people/antonio-ocampo-guzman Connect with Antonio on LinkedIn Read: The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey -- Production & Development for Improv Is No Joke by Podcast Masters Learn more about your ad choices.

Students in my acting classes know that when they do scene work the expectation is that they will rehearse and plan their work carefully to demonstrate that they can make and repeat good choices and give the impression that it is all happening for the first time. I don’t want students improvising their scene work ...Read the Rest
