Prof. James Evans, a University of Chicago sociologist and data scientist, believes we're training AI to think too much like humans—and it's holding science back.In this episode, Evans shares how our current models risk narrowing scientific exploration rather than expanding it, and explains why he's pushing for AIs that think differently from us—what he calls “cognitive aliens.” Could these “alien minds” help us unlock hidden breakthroughs? And what would it take to build them?

This week, guest speaker James Evans directs us to see the ultimate reward of true religion and saving faith; experiencing and knowing Jesus Christ, and living forevermore with Him. In comparison to all other accomplishments we can achieve and reputations we could hold, pursuing Christ, knowing him more and more, is a reward that is higher and greater than anything we could ever have or attain.

Today's episode is different from all the previous ones, as for the first time on Scaling Theory, we focus on research methodology, exploring how AI is reshaping the very process of doing research and what that shift means for science and society at large.I sat down with James Evans, Professor of Sociology, Computational and Data Science at the University of Chicago, External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, and Faculty Member at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna, to explore how AI is transforming the way we simulate, scale, and understand human behavior, and what that shift means for science and society.We dive into his pioneering work on using large language models to simulate individuals, societies, and entire social systems. James and I explore the strengths and limits of AI agents for both the social and hard sciences before reflecting on the future of social science itself. We talk about research centers entirely run by AI and conferences conducted by AI agents, without any human involvement. We also discuss the role of small research teams in disruptive innovation, and how to cultivate proximity and serendipity in a research world where we increasingly cooperate with machines.You can follow me on X (@ProfSchrepel) and BlueSky (@ProfSchrepel) to receive regular updates.References:- Simulating Subjects: The Promise and Peril of AI Stand-ins for Social Agents and Interactions (2025) https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/vp3j2_v3- LLM Social Simulations Are a Promising Research Method (2025) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.02234- Large teams develop and small teams disrupt science and technology (2019) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-0941-9?wpisrc=- AI Expands Scientists' Impact but Contracts Science's Focus (2024) https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.07727- The Paradox of Collective Certainty in Science (2024) https://arxiv.org/html/2406.05809v1?utm_source=chatgpt.com- Being Together in Place as a Catalyst for Scientific Advance (Research Policy, 2023) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733323001956

In this episode we're joined by Stephen Wildblood KC, James Evans from OurFamilyWizard, Jacob Crossley from Support Through Court, and Carlie Norris from Circle Mediation as they talk through the innovative production Daisy Through The Looking Glass - a play which aims to hold a mirror up to the family law system and the real impacts it can make on families itself.Based on real legal experiences and to be performed at the Royal Courts of Justice, the play explores one family's progress through the family court system in reverse chronological order - but how close to real life experiences does the play align? And what is the importance of highlighting the challenges of the family court system through a creative medium?For more information of RWK Goodman's family law services, please visit - https://www.rwkgoodman.com/personal/family/

Savills office sector experts discuss why there is divergent sentiment across occupational and investment markets. With most major UK office markets having no new buildings coming on stream in the next three years, how will businesses position themselves as the economy improves? Office rental growth continues to be strong across the quality spectrum, so is there a better time to kick-start the development cycle? And with some investors hesitant to dip their toes back in, will the returns be compelling enough to convince others?Join Guy Ruddle and guests James Evans, James Emans, and Holly Purvis in the studio to as they discuss what's going on.

It is a feature of many human activities - sports, cooking, music, interpersonal relations - that being able to do them well doesn't necessarily mean you can accurately describe how to do them well. Science is no different. Many successful scientists are not very good at explaining what goes into successful scientific practice. To understand that, it's necessary to study science in a scientific fashion. What kinds of scientists, in what kinds of collaborations, using what kinds of techniques, do well? I talk with James Evans, an expert on collective intelligence and the construction of knowledge, about how science really works.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/02/10/304-james-evans-on-innovation-consolidation-and-the-science-of-science/Support Mindscape on Patreon.James Evans received his Ph.D. in Sociology from Stanford University.

In this insightful episode, James Evans dives into the unique challenges and growth opportunities for first-time founders. From building leadership styles to navigating tough decisions, James shares his journey and valuable lessons from leading CommandBar to its acquisition by Amplitude. If you're a tech enthusiast, startup founder, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways! Key Takeaways Leadership Style Evolves Over Time: As a first-time founder, leadership is a learning process; it's okay to admit you're still refining your style. Authenticity is crucial—your actions must align with your leadership claims. Decisions Matter, but Not All Are Equal: Overthinking can paralyze growth. Some decisions, like choosing a CRM, don't need innovation—pick a functional solution and move forward. Prioritize building a team culture that aligns with long-term company goals. The Importance of Early Employees: The first ten hires shape the company's culture more than the founders. Be intentional about hiring individuals who embody the values you want to amplify. Seek Advice From Experienced Founders: Establish a network of mentors who are 1–2 steps ahead in their entrepreneurial journeys. Tactical advice from seasoned founders can save you months (or years) of missteps. Redefining Product-Market Fit: True product-market fit feels effortless—customers want your product, not just your team or service. Timestamped Highlights [00:00:00] Introduction to James Evans and the topic of first-time founders. [00:01:08] Defining and discovering leadership style as a founder. [00:04:23] What candidates really look for in a founder's leadership style. [00:06:38] Aligning leadership style with company culture. [00:11:00] The impact of early employees on company culture and growth. [00:16:00] Avoiding decision paralysis as a first-time founder. [00:17:18] Finding and leveraging founder mentors. [00:22:00] Product-market fit: Lessons and red flags for first-time founders.

Britský hudobník James Evans sa v 90. rokoch vydal pešo do Jeruzalema, prišiel na Slovensko a už u nás pod Tatrami zostal. Umelecky inšpirujúcu mladosť, poznačenú úspechmi i ťažkosťami zvládal s preňho najväčšou pomocou – Bohom. Hral pred desaťtisícovým publikom i pár ľuďmi, v hudbe dokáže vyjadrovať, na čo nestačia slová.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the 2000-year-old device which transformed our understanding of astronomy in ancient Greece. In 1900 a group of sponge divers found the wreck of a ship off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera. Among the items salvaged was a corroded bronze object, the purpose of which was not at first clear. It turned out to be one of the most important discoveries in marine archaeology. Over time, researchers worked out that it was some kind of astronomical analogue computer, the only one to survive from this period as bronze objects were so often melted down for other uses. In recent decades, detailed examination of the Antikythera Mechanism using the latest scientific techniques indicates that it is a particularly intricate tool for showing the positions of planets, the sun and moon, with a complexity and precision not surpassed for over a thousand years.With Mike Edmunds Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics at Cardiff UniversityJo Marchant Science journalist and author of 'Decoding the Heavens' on the Antikythera MechanismAnd Liba Taub Professor Emerita in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge and Visiting Scholar at the Deutsches Museum, MunichProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Derek de Solla Price, Gears from the Greeks: The Antikythera Mechanism (American Philosophical Society Press, 1974)M.

This week's guest is James Evans, the co-founder and CEO of CommandBar, a user assistance software company that powers chat and proactive help interfaces for hundreds of software businesses and millions of end users. Before CommandBar, he worked in private equity investing at Bain Capital and studied CS at Princeton. Here's a summary of the key points from the interview with James Evans on the Uncharted podcast: Introduction & Background: James Evans is the founder of Command Bar, and he shares an interesting fact about his past: he played bass in a heavy metal band in high school. He has an impressive educational and professional background, including attending Princeton and working at Bain before founding his company. Family and Personal Drive: James mentions his parents are immigrants (his mother from Iran and his father from the UK) and both are business school professors. He didn't feel typical immigrant pressure to succeed but did feel a self-imposed pressure to do something meaningful as a founder, influenced by his upbringing and his parents' careers. Path to Entrepreneurship: James's first job was in finance, but he always aspired to be a founder. His first startup was an early-stage crypto company, which didn't succeed, leading him to start Command Bar. He emphasizes the importance of choosing to work on something meaningful rather than starting a company for the sake of it. Challenges and Pivots: James talks about the challenges of knowing when to pivot or move on from a project. He shares his experience pivoting from his first startup to Command Bar and later adjusting Command Bar's strategy post-Series A funding. He advises founders to be adaptable and willing to reassess their strategies, even after raising funds. Mindset and Resilience: James discusses the importance of resilience and the inevitability of facing highs and lows as a founder. He notes that experiences that seem devastating in the moment often feel less significant over time. He emphasizes that the only fatal mistakes in a startup are giving up or running out of money. Command Bar's Market Position: Command Bar operates in two categories: B2B chatbots and digital adoption tools, and they are exploring the creation of a new category called "user-assisted software." James highlights the balance between creating new categories and fitting into existing markets for buyer recognition. Sales and Enablement: The company focuses on empathy and genuine curiosity in sales, prioritizing understanding customers' problems over simply selling products. James discusses the challenges of sales enablement in a multi-product context and the importance of storytelling in sales. Advice to Young Entrepreneurs: James advises making decisions quickly and not overthinking minor details. He believes the best action is often to make a decision and move on rather than getting stuck in analysis. Conclusion: The host and James discuss the importance of taking decisive action and the value of having conversations with more experienced entrepreneurs to avoid getting stuck in decision-making. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/uncharted1/support

Why is scientific progress slowing down? That's a question that's been on the minds of many. But before we dive into that, let's ponder this—how do we even know that scientific progress is decelerating? And in an era where machines are capable of understanding complexities that sometimes surpass human cognition, how should we approach the future of knowledge? Joining us in this exploration is Professor James Evans from the University of Chicago. As the director of the Knowledge Lab at UChicago, Professor Evans is at the forefront of integrating machine learning into the scientific process. His work is revolutionizing how new ideas are conceived, shared, and developed, not just in science but in all knowledge and creative processes. Our conversation today is a journey through various intriguing landscapes. We'll delve into questions like: Why has the pace of scientific discovery slowed, and can AI be the catalyst to reaccelerate it? How does the deluge of information and the battle for attention affect the evolution of ideas? What are the predictive factors for disruption and novelty in the idea landscape? How should teams be structured to foster disruptive innovation? What risks do homogeneity in thinking and AI model concentration pose? How can we redefine diversity in the context of both human and AI collaboration? What does the evolving nature of knowledge mean for the next generation of scientists? Can tools like ChatGPT enhance diversity and innovative capabilities in research? Is it time to debunk the myth of the lone genius and focus instead on the collective intelligence of humans and AI? We're also thrilled to discuss Professor Evans' upcoming book, "Knowing," which promises to be a groundbreaking addition to our understanding of these topics. So, whether you're a scientist, a creative, a business leader, a data scientist or just someone fascinated by the interplay of human intelligence and artificial technology, this episode is sure to offer fresh perspectives and insights.

This is a podcast conversation between our hosts discussing various topics including DreamCon, anime, gas prices and more. The pod start by discussing DreamCon and issues around prioritizing smaller content creators. They talk about panelist passes no longer being complimentary and how that negatively impacts smaller creators who have to pay to attend and work. They also discuss some of DreamCon's past questionable business decisions like expensive party booths that didn't include bottles. The conversation shifts to discussing anime conventions and upcoming anime seasons. They list various anime like Bleach, Attack on Titan, Castlevania that are returning or having new seasons soon. They discuss keeping up with all the different parts and seasons within seasons for some shows. Nae and Mike then talk about gas prices being high at around $3-3.40 per gallon currently. They compare to other areas like Houston being cheaper and other countries/states paying even more. Blue Bell ice cream prices are mentioned as being around $5 for a pint at Walmart recently. Food prices in general are discussed as being very high. To wrap up, they mention continuing the podcast after one of the speaker's birthdays coming up. They provide the typical sign off about staying safe and not talking badly about others or their kids. Senae also wishes Mike a happy early 33rd birthday for the next episode.

Science is facing a perplexing problem. Although there are far more scientists today than ever before, publishing research at a faster and faster pace, new and novel advancements have slowed not increased. But one expert at the University of Chicago thinks he may have found a way out of this progress standstill…artificial intelligence.In the last few months AI has become the number one topic on everyone's mind. This is the first episode of a three part series on the ways today's researchers think AI will build the world of tomorrow. As we continue our summer break, these first two episodes will be re-releases, with the final part of the series featuring a brand new guest. Given the recent developments in AI, coming back to these episodes has made them all the more fascinating and important. We hope you get as much out of them as we did. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with James Evans, Co-Founder & CEO of CommandBar, a developer tool that's raised $24 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Importance of Open-Ended Questions: James emphasizes the value of asking open-ended questions in customer interviews to uncover genuine insights. Origin of CommandBar: CommandBar started as a solution to simplify a complex edtech tool, leading to the creation of a command palette that improves user experience. Evolving Market Category: Initially positioned as a command palette as a service, CommandBar now falls under the broader category of digital adoption tools. Landing Major Clients: James discusses how they secured impressive logos like AngelList and Gusto by positioning CommandBar as a no-brainer experiment with high ROI potential. Competing with In-House Solutions: CommandBar's main competition often comes from companies considering building their own solutions, which James addresses by emphasizing the benefits of specialized tools. Future Vision: James envisions CommandBar becoming a universal layer across all software, enhancing user experience and productivity on a large scale.

This week James has a good walk in Shropshire spoiled by the "bird-blending, bat-chomping eco-crucifixes" and Toby debates animal "rights" around the dinner table because of the deaths of three horses at this past weekend's Grand National. ("Save the Sheep!")That leads us to the name change of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the scandal at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the shocking suicide of a 19-year old Greenpeace activist from Walthamstow who became inconsolable by the prospect of climate change.We also pay tribute to Nigel Lawson, Mrs. Thatcher's Chancellor of the Exchequer who died 3 April, aged 91.In Culture Corner, we let the blocks fall where they may with Tetris (AppleTV+) and Seven Kings Must Die (Netflix.)Opening sound this week is James Evans, Member of the Senedd for Brecon and Radnorshire courtesy of GBNews.

In his foundational 1972 paper “More Is Different,” physicist Phil Anderson made the case that reducing the objects of scientific study to their smallest components does not allow researchers to predict the behaviors of those systems upon reconstruction. Another way of putting this is that different disciplines reveal different truths at different scales. Contrary to long-held convictions that there would one day be one great unifying theory to explain it all, fundamental research in this century looks more like a bouquet of complementary approaches. This pluralistic thinking hearkens back to the work of 19th century psychologist William James and looks forward into the growing popularity of evidence-based approaches that cultivate diversity in team-building, governance, and ecological systems. Context-dependent theory and practice calls for choirs of voices…so how do we encourage this? New systems must emerge to handle the complexity of digital society…what might they look like?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week on the show we dip back into our sub-series on SFI's Emergent Political Economies research theme with a trialogue featuring Microsoft Research Lead Glen Weyl (founder of RadicalXChange and founder-chair of The Plurality Institute), and SFI Resident Professor Cristopher Moore (author of over 150 papers at the intersection of physics and computer science). In our conversation we discuss the case for a radically pluralistic approach, explore the links between plurality and quantum mechanics, and outline potential technological solutions to the “sense-making” problems of the 21st century.Be sure to check out our extensive show notes with links to all our references at complexity.simplecast.com.

What makes us human?  Over the last several decades, the once-vast island of human exceptionalism has lost significant ground to wave upon wave of research revealing cognition, emotion, problem-solving, and tool-use in other organisms. But there remains a clear sense that humans stand apart — evidenced by our unique capacity to overrun the planet and remake it in our image. What is unique about the human mind, and how might we engage this question rigorously through the lens of neuroscience? How are our gifts of simulation and imagination different from those of other animals? And what, if anything, can we know of the “curiosity” of even larger systems in which we're embedded — the social superorganisms, ecosystems, technospheres within which we exist like neurons in the brain?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week we conclude a two-part conversation with SFI External Professor John Krakauer, Professor of Neurology and Director of the Center for the Study of Motor Learning and Brain Repair at Johns Hopkins.

We have the distinct pleasure of having with us miss Shannon Amos an American producer and writer who sort of followed her father's footsteps in the entertainment industry. She is the daughter of John Amos most of us affectionately know him as. 02:04.35 noblemen James Evans from the hit seventy s tv show good times and her mother Noel Nickerson both were prominent actors she has appeared in many television series networks and films including BET Network, ESPN, Turner Originals TV One just to name a few, today, She is also widely known as the international holistic health coach and founder of Sumana a luxury wellness travel agency in this episode. We'll be talking all about her newfound passion her business vision and mission some of her experiences of being the daughter of prominent actors some have worked in television as a producer and most importantly, her current life work. Of helping others optimize their mental spiritual and physical health. We certainly have a lot to unpack in this episode. So let's go. So.   03:45.94 noblemen Um, Shannon welcome to the show today. 03:49.24 Shannon Amos Um, thank you so much Vince I'm so happy to be here. Thank you. 03:51.26 noblemen Hey is it's certainly it it. It's certainly a pleasure to have you on the show today Shannon and so hey so for those who may not know you or all that what you do tell us a little bit about yourself. 04:09.63 Shannon Amos Ah, well again, my name is Shannon Amos I am currently living in Playa Del Carmen Mexico where I facilitate and host wellness retreats in this new life that I've created and prior to that I was a television producer. For over 20 years in the entertainment industry. 04:30.79 noblemen Wow Shannon and thanks, it's certainly a pleasure to to have you on the show with us today I know we've we've been trying to s sink this ah interview up for a little while now and you're all over the world on. Ah, you know, great and wonderful things. But um, hey it's certainly a pleasure to to finally you know, get you on the show I think the last time we had the opportunity to speak. We may have talked you know close to an hour and it was certainly a pleasure. 04:56.52 Shannon Amos Absolutely I enjoy it. Thank you. 05:01.87 noblemen So, Shannon you know I have to ask upfront what was it like before we get to anything else. What was it like as a child growing up with with prominent actors. You know, um your dad John Amos 05:05.36 Shannon Amos Um, yes. 05:19.73 noblemen Um, at home was he much like the good times character. We officially know as James Evans or what. 05:25.95 Shannon Amos Um, yeah, wasn't a stretch I will admit that his character is not far off from who he is but um, you know there's so many multiple layers to who my father is so while he embodied some of those characteristics. Um, you know that was a fictional character in real Life. He's a very much introverted man um, pretty shy loves to be in a quiet space loves nature and really a renaissance man actually both of my parents I would consider Renaissance people. 05:53.28 noblemen Um. 05:58.93 Shannon Amos Um, my mom wasn't an actor I just want to correct that my mother is an artist so she was a creative with her hands and my father being an actor. Um you know, brought that energy of creative spirit into the household. 06:00.51 noblemen Had her heart. 06:15.29 Shannon Amos And so it was amazing. Growing up because I got to be around people like Maya Angelou you know having dinner with her in my youth and not even realizing or maybe I was realizing but not to the magnitude of of who she was in the world until I really grew up and having people like Lou Gosset and Ben Vaine and um, other you know, just really prominent amazingly talented people in and out of our home growing up and being exposed to that was was amazing. 06:42.59 noblemen Yeah that's amazing. So Shannon you know you've kind of followed your dad somewhat. Um you know into television and producing and that sort of thing but there was a bit of ah of a shift as I understand around 2017 so sort of what what ultimately brought you, you know to the work you so passionately do today. 07:03.68 Shannon Amos You know it was a series of events. Um I had been producing like I said for over twenty years and I wasn't feeling as fulfilled as I thought I would you know even in the pinnacle of my career like I was I was happy and grateful for everything. But. Just wasn't feeling as fulfilled in the work and as television changed and more things were being driven by marketing and by the networks of ideas of who we are and how we're supposed to show up the more I became disenchanted and around that same time. Um. 07:23.18 noblemen Um, a number. 07:36.78 Shannon Amos My mother who had been struggling for many years from injuries sustained from a medical malpractice incident finally succumbed to them and prior to her transition while she was in the hospital. Um in the last week of her life I asked her hey mom. 07:44.29 noblemen Um, a. 07:56.12 Shannon Amos Do you have any regrets and for anything that you regret regret that you didn't do and she said you know Shannon only that I didn't get to travel and see the world and so we knew that we were going to be cremating her. We knew that she was actively transitioning at that point and so I said well what if I traveled the world and I took your ashes with me. 07:58.61 noblemen Um. 08:15.36 Shannon Amos Her eyes lit up and she smiled and she said Shannon go see the world and let the world see you? Yeah yeah. 08:21.10 noblemen Wow, that's that's amazing yes yeah and so Shannon, I understand right now you you're currently doing the work in and all the way in Mexico tell us a little bit about that. 08:34.36 Shannon Amos Yeah I took off um after my mom passed I took off and I traveled solo around south east Asia for about a year year and a half and then I ended up in I took I call it my soul sabbatical. So I just took here to to heal and and worked through the grief and I ended up. 08:39.73 noblemen And. 08:47.93 noblemen I'm gonna. 08:52.15 Shannon Amos Um, in Peru and I sat with a shaman in Peru and had my first experience with plant medicine called ayahuasca some people will not be familiar with what that is, but it's now been talked about by will smith in his book Mike Tyson 09:00.22 noblemen I know. 09:09.68 Shannon Amos Um, has recently shared his experiences as well as Chris Rock and um, so I think now that it's moving more into the the conversations around healing with psychedelics is moving now more into Mainstream consciousness and awareness and into black culture and. 09:22.85 noblemen Um, all right. 09:27.81 Shannon Amos That's what kind of brought me to Mexico I was invited by a friend and I came down to visit I fell in love with it and then I ended up connecting with a facilitator who here who was the protege of the facilitator I sat with in Peru. 09:46.18 noblemen That sound exciting. You know Shannon I feel like even now you know sort of we are all still very much on this. You know mental Marathon Globally if you will you know with with all ah you know various. Infectious diseases since the pandemic you know here in the Us. The political climate is still yet. You know, probably the most polarizing many of us known in our lifetime you know the impact of high inflation and all this mental. Cumulative effect if you will is certainly beginning to manifest you know in our culture. You know what have you personally found most challenging during these times and how are you dealing with it as well as you know, coaching others to it. 10:30.74 Shannon Amos No vice I feel like the culture that we've created American society that we've created was designed for machines not for humans and we've been living our lives like machines we're getting up. We're going to the same jobs we're doing the same thing over and over and over in repetitive motion. And you know, no wonder people are exhausted. No wonder people are tired and burned out and frustrated and feeling stuck. It's like we didn't sign up for this right? and I think that there is a serious process of needing to remember who we are and remember what we come from and where we come from. 10:59.20 noblemen Um. 11:08.93 Shannon Amos And really to tap into our sole purpose and so my work now having gone through so many changes and also reconnecting with nature reconnecting with indigenous people learning more about ancestral wisdom. And really getting educated about the different tools that are out here to support our wellbeing. That's now what I bring to my clients and bring into my retreats and even my wellness travel. 11:32.23 noblemen Um. 11:39.40 noblemen Well, that's wonderful. So Shannon I I heard you once say something that that I'd like to sort of unpack a little bit is that um you know you made a statement. How can you be a light worker. 11:44.75 Shannon Amos Each. 11:54.20 noblemen Ah, when you have yet to sit with your darkness and that kind of moved me in a way when I first heard that talk to us a little bit about that. 12:00.89 Shannon Amos Yeah, you know there is a there is I guess I repeat this a lot and I'll say it again is that healing isn't linear. It's different for each and every one of us as we are to our own thumbprint and I feel like there is a path for each and every one of us for me the path was plant medicine. The path was. You know, really getting reconnected with nature but also there were many steps in that process before I got there. You know when I first landed in Bali um I was introduced really to the practice of meditation and from there I went on to India where I studied yoga in ayurveda and. You know so there were different tools that I was gathering in that process and I think that in the current state of affairs that we find this world in with things always changing and and moving so quickly that it's really important that we slow down and when you slow down. 12:55.78 noblemen Um. 12:57.35 Shannon Amos You can really do some serious reflection and that's where we tap into that shadow part of ourselves that the the thoughts and the feelings and all the stuff that we've been consuming and pushing down in our bodies. All that generational trauma that we are holding. 13:10.11 noblemen Right? right. 13:14.32 Shannon Amos Yeah, and and until we actually do the work to to bring it up to sit with it to process it and to let it go. We can't you know we can't fully step into helping others. How do we help our families if we're not helping ourselves so it's like that. 13:29.87 noblemen Um, right right? That's that's amazing in there. So Shanna what? what would you say you know is your single you know, greatest mistake if you was to share. 13:30.46 Shannon Amos Philosophy of securing your own mask first. 13:41.91 noblemen And what did it really teach you. 13:42.55 Shannon Amos I Think that the calling had been there for me for a long time and I chose to ignore it I Chose to do what I thought was what I was supposed to do which would be successful to honor. You know my family's legacy. 13:55.47 noblemen Um. 13:59.95 noblemen Um, right. 14:01.30 Shannon Amos Make money to have a lot of things to have cars and houses and material wealth and yet with all of those things I still felt like I wasn't fulfilled and I think that was probably the biggest mistake wasn't listening to my heart's calling. 14:18.78 noblemen Wow, that's amazing there. So Sean let's just twist a little bit and talk a little bit about the company you established um and in 2019 suma right yeah a luxury travel company. 14:30.20 Shannon Amos Um, yeah, yes. 14:31.70 noblemen Tell us a little bit about that and and sort of you know what was your inspiration for starting a company. 14:34.42 Shannon Amos Absolutely you know after the year that I did backpacking across Southeast Asia I really did it in a very unconventional way I left with $700 on a one-way ticket and not because I had to I was choosing to because I wanted to see what. 14:48.28 noblemen Um. 14:51.22 Shannon Amos What it would be like to just step into flow how far could I go and I ended up being gone for over a year and traveling to 12 countries and what that taught me is that there is infinite abundance in this universe and everything that we need is really here to support us but we have to tap into it and. 14:55.18 noblemen Um. 14:59.80 noblemen Um, wow. 15:09.74 noblemen Um. 15:10.16 Shannon Amos Along my Journeys I Was you know I was healing and I was receiving all these different tools without even realizing it and by the time I came back. My life had changed in so many ways and I had changed in so many ways that I wanted people that I care about to experience that I wanted people through. 15:27.61 noblemen Um. 15:28.50 Shannon Amos Ah know what it's like to detach from all of the stuff and to have a deep cultural experience and a wellness experience and that's how Summana was born and in sanskrit Sumana means to bloom and so yeah, we just plant the seed so you can bloom. 15:38.63 noblemen Awesome! That's that's wonderful. So a I tell you I'm certainly looking forward to one of those adventures here real soon. 15:52.17 Shannon Amos Um I love that I love that we want to go to Egypt you got to join us in Egypt or Africa. Um. 15:55.78 noblemen Ah Wow. Okay, we're gonna have to carve that in the calendar like ASAP right? like right away. So what's the dates on that. 16:06.16 Shannon Amos Um, well our first Egypt trip is in January January tech through the twenty second that 1 is already full so we are gonna launch a second one but what makes it so special is that we are going to really tap into ancient Kemet and the African history of Egypt. The part of the history. We don't get and. 16:11.93 noblemen Okay. 16:20.23 noblemen Um, ah. 16:23.50 noblemen Cry. 16:25.96 Shannon Amos We have a guy on the ground there who is so powerful and amazing and is really tapped into the historical truths. So we're going to plug into that energy that frequency and get a lot of wisdom and knowledge too. 16:40.38 noblemen That's wonderful. That's wonderful I. Really yeah, you know a number of years Actually I've I've been sort of you know doing a great deal of study on as you mentioned ancient Kemet and and Timbuktu all of those things that. Perhaps um, we were we were taught to sort of not investigate or were falsehood and so we didn't explore them So I often say is when you can't get it all in the book you got to go there for yourself and see for yourself. I'm certainly looking forward to that trip. 17:15.31 Shannon Amos Absolutely absolutely and you know it's it's really interesting part of what traveling has opened up for me in that way and I've been to 53 countries now that um how much propaganda and news. You know, kind of dissuades us from going to places like even Mexico when I came to Mexico people were like. Are you going to be safe. Is it dangerous is the cartel going to be after you and now I feel safer here like we don't have mass shootings in Mexico. Ok, we're not yeah. 17:33.10 noblemen Um, dry or I all right. 17:41.60 noblemen Um, right right? right? right? Yeah, right? Yeah, so so. 17:50.58 Shannon Amos Very different. 17:53.39 noblemen What is it that individuals can look to experience. Overall you know and in a Sumana experience. 17:58.31 Shannon Amos You know what we do is we really take the time to curate an experience for each and every person that's traveling with us and so rather than travel on a Rigid itinerary. It's a very free flowing itinerary. Let's say for example. 18:11.54 noblemen Right. 18:15.11 Shannon Amos We went to Egypt and and you want to just stay in a spa and get a massage that day and maybe a few people want to go on the nile and go kayaking or maybe they want to take a walk along you know in Cairo or something. It's it's. 18:22.14 noblemen And. 18:29.63 Shannon Amos The way that we craft it is so that you can have an experience that is unique to you and you know there are activities we do as a group which are really beautiful and lovely. But. 18:35.56 noblemen Um. 18:41.20 Shannon Amos Um, it's very free flowing you you move the way you need to move at the time you need to move and that allows people to really get the rest they need which is so important but also to um, enjoy the experience and not feel rushed. 18:50.31 noblemen Um, no. 18:53.47 noblemen Right? right? So So what? what piece of Advice. You know as you mentioned is you know getting Beyond sort of the propaganda that that is oftentime associated with traveling abroad. But but what piece of advice would you give someone that's. Sort of looking to take that leap of faith as you have and then just get out and travel abroad. 19:18.85 Shannon Amos Yeah, you know, um I say just do it get out of your way get out of your fear and just do it. But some advice I could give is that if you're planning to go to a country go on on a Facebook even if you don't like Facebook to set up an account you know for this purpose and. 19:31.80 noblemen By group. 19:35.15 Shannon Amos Look for expat groups in that country. For example, when I came to Mexico I joined like 3 or 4 different expat groups on Facebook and I was able to pretty much ask for anything that I was looking for and someone would answer and um I was also able to tap into communities of expats. That we're already living here. So it was like upon arrival I already knew a few people you know that I had spoken with that. You know, ah that could give me and kind of show me the ropes and it makes life so much easier in that way to have a connection when you arrive. 20:04.74 noblemen Um. 20:10.15 noblemen So Shan I know you I know you talked on it a little bit but if you could if you could unpack it just a little bit more about, um you know something you previously said about the indigenous wisdom and plant Medicine retreats. Um. 20:20.79 Shannon Amos In him. 20:25.28 noblemen Talk talk to us a little bit ah about that a little bit more what what to expect from that experience a little bit. 20:29.19 Shannon Amos Absolutely first off I know that you know we've been colonized into believing that plant medicine is drugs when it's absolutely. 20:39.26 noblemen Um I. 20:41.80 Shannon Amos Ah, the opposite drugs are um, you know what the government you know has deemed as such one to um, it is pharmaceuticals they are synthe synthetic medications those are actual drugs what grows in nature and what is in nature. Um, has the technology and the wisdom of plants and and when we look at things like for example, Psilocybin which is the street name would be called Magic mushrooms, mushrooms or fungi and fungi have been on this planet you know for. 21:04.96 noblemen Um. 21:15.94 Shannon Amos Probably be well way before man you know they they even say that it probably comes from the stars from stardust um, it holds the wisdom, the innate wisdom and intelligence of hundreds of thousands of years and indigenous people who live in um, in nature. 21:29.60 noblemen Um, remember. 21:33.97 Shannon Amos Are very tapped into the plants the herbs the various medicines and and what they can be used for It's scientists that come in and then cultivate it and turn it into um other you know, healing modalities and not to even say that all drugs in western culture are bad because clearly there are some that cure us and help us. But they also usually come with loads of side effects. So um, what we're doing is we're working with indigenous cultures who have been studying and understanding and working with various plant medicines for generation upon generation and we're bringing people into a safe space, a comfortable space. Working alongside our indigenous partners to create and share experiences to help elevate consciousness and some of those things for example are ayahuasca and psilocybin and both help there's scientific evidence now that shows they help relieve ptsd. Um, anxiety depression ocd um, and other there's studies now around alzheimer's Parkinson's and dementia so there are very powerful healing abilities that happen with these medicines. Um. If. You're not prepared or not feeling called to um the work with Psychedelic Plant medicines there are plenty of plant medicines that don't have a psychoactive effect that are also beneficial like cacao and cacao has a molecule called the bliss molecule which is a heart opener. 22:53.34 noblemen Um, I mean. 22:58.94 noblemen Um. 23:03.50 Shannon Amos Gets the blood flowing and it's a great to combine with other Healthcare practices. You can drink it every day. Um, you know it's better for you than Coffee. It's a super ah superfood a Super fruit Um, and it has multiple beneficial you know effects. So ah in a retreat with us. You get to experience on what you choose and you know we're not here to push anybody into anything with ayahuasca or psilocybin I would say if you feel called then we're here for you to support you if you're not ready for that. We're not here to try to make you Ready. We're here to support whatever your wellness needs are. 23:35.60 noblemen Um. 23:40.93 Shannon Amos And if it's movement if it's yoga if it's meditation you want to deepen your practice. All of that is available in our retreats. 23:48.57 noblemen That's certainly amazing and but you know as you said that? So so much you know I think so much education is still needed. Um in terms of you know how do you know? treat. Different ailments from a holistic perspective especially when you know as you mentioned we've been sort of conditioned. Um by primarily big pharma. Um, that did yeah have been conditioned to to think of you know, certain drugs in a certain way. Um. 24:11.61 Shannon Amos A. 24:21.68 noblemen So who who would you say would be you know sort of the ideal person in this case for your retreats. 24:28.89 Shannon Amos I would say someone who is tired exhausted feeling stuck burned out possibly suffering from depression anxiety. Also we have a lot of folks who are seekers who are um, going through a spiritual transition or or tapping into their you know. 24:34.30 noblemen Um, are you on. 24:46.81 Shannon Amos More of their spiritual spirituality or um, those who are seeking to expand their consciousness who are ready to you know to grow and ready to step into um their full purpose. We also get people who are suffering from addiction smoking cigarettes. Um alcoholism. 25:03.21 noblemen Um, and hope. 25:05.97 Shannon Amos Ah, tobacco drugs. You know hard drugs like ah cocaine and heroin so we see a broad spectrum of people we get moms and dads we have families come in with their adult children. Um, our youngest client was 19 years old who suffered from. Clinical depression and what we're able to do and what we're seeing is that a matter of fact I've had several clients now who've come in with clinical depression. We've been able to move them off of their drugs that had horrible side effects and onto micro dosing with psilocybin. 25:37.84 noblemen Um. 25:42.77 Shannon Amos And now they're thriving and when I hear that back from my clients when I have a client that tells me for the last twelve years I've been in misery and I'm finally sleeping I'm finally experiencing happiness and joy. That's what keeps me in this work. 25:59.59 noblemen Well Shannon you know there's certainly um, a a work um particularly in in the African American and latino community to be done in this area. Um I think I think even now. 26:11.26 Shannon Amos Um, yes. 26:17.25 noblemen As as we really begin to see things manifest at at levels that we've never seen before at a much younger age. Certainly um that that um, you know I personally believe that um mental health has to take a priority in America and. 26:23.36 Shannon Amos Um, yes. 26:36.90 noblemen And and it it may be needed in a number of different ways and certainly from a holistic natural perspective. You know? Um, yeah, so how do you feel today like with all the the 24 hour news cycle and the internet and social media and. 26:41.40 Shannon Amos Um, yeah, let's get. 26:54.88 noblemen All the streaming platforms um have have ah impacted you know mental health of people. You know, certainly you know I don't know if that all those things like go away you you turn all your cell phones in when you get on one of your retreats. So what have you? But how did you feel like you know, although that has. 27:09.60 Shannon Amos Um, same position. 27:13.21 Shannon Amos In a huge way because it's programming and when we are consuming that content when we're consuming things that aren't good for us things that sit in our body we're consuming it on a cellular level and that's why the work we're doing is is. 27:13.28 noblemen Impacted mental health of people. 27:29.24 noblemen Um. 27:32.26 Shannon Amos So amazing because we're really working on a cellular level to move that energy to move that programming to expand beyond it so that we can face it release it and let it go um the work that we do is you know from? Well let me go back for a second being black folks. And brown folks in America we're being exposed to so much violence on a regular basis and that's all trauma and we hold that in our body and it manifests in other ways as disease right? So so no wonder more people are having strokes no wonder more people are having heart attacks and suffering. 27:51.61 noblemen Um. 28:08.80 noblemen Are I. 28:10.90 Shannon Amos And attacks and Anxiety. We weren't designed for violence. We weren't designed to consume all this negativity and so yes, we do unplug during retreat. Um and we ask our our guests to but we also want to give you the tools so that when you go back into the world. That you're mindful of what you're consuming that you turn off the news and that you limit you know the programming you're receiving so that you can rewire your brain pretty much and part of that rewiring is also with the medicine because you're literally creating new neuro pathways. 28:40.68 noblemen Um, and and. 28:46.44 Shannon Amos And there's more neuro plasticity with the brain so integration integrating anything that you experience. It's going to help you shift into ah a you know higher frequency or vibration or into a better form of Health you have to integrate. 29:02.68 noblemen Um, right. 29:03.57 Shannon Amos Those tools into your life. So we also follow up with integration. 29:05.66 noblemen Awesome! That's wonderful sharing so listen Shannon before we go. How can you know people connect with you.
