Podcast appearances and mentions of jordan osmond

It's the season three finale with me and my man Jordan Osmond!We're cranking the content couple cringe in this convo which covers our individual intentions for 2025, and chatting them through like a pair of old codgers.Jordan is one half of Happen Films, sharing stories for a more beautiful world, and precisely one year ago we recorded a Reskillience interview which was later to become our first date.Back with new eps in three weeks or less

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Monday Breakfast show, hosted by Rob Harrison in the studios of 3CR. Today's show features the following segments: 7:10AMIn this episode of Stick Together, Annie McLoughlin goes into the murky side of the just transition economy where Powering the Future can sometimes mean unsafe conditions, and dodgy pay. Annie speaks with Michael Wright, National Secretary of the ETU, about a better future. Originally broadcast on April 24. You can hear more on trade and industrial issues via 3cr.org.au/sticktogether. 7:30AMOn Wednesday of last week, mere hours after launching, the Monash Gaza Solidarity Camp was attacked by a group of pro-Israel supporters, including someone who claimed to be a current IDF soldier. Following that, the camp was also attacked on Sunday evening, but with better preparation and more support, the camp was able to stop the attackers from getting close. Rob interviewed Connor, an organiser with Students for Palestine, about the attacks, the camp's condition following them, as well as the University's response to it. 7:45AM  In this excerpt, Andy and Cam speak with Dr Alex Hanna, sociologist, writer, and Director of Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR), about AI hype and AI hell. Originally broadcast on April 18. You can hear the entire conversation via 3cr.org.au/yeahnahpasaran.  8:10AMOn Tuesday the 7th of May, Black Spark Cultural Centre is screening ‘The City Food Commons', a film about the Roimata Food Commons, an edible community garden in Aotearoa. The garden contains 95 heritage fruit and nut trees as well as over 1000 south island endemic natives, all of which were planted by the community. To learn more about the project, the film, and Happen Films, the organisation behind it, Rob spoke with Jordan Osmond, director and cinematographer for Happen Films.Songs played: Stay - The WaifsField of Dreams - A GenderSidelines - Phoebe Bridgers  

Oh happy day, it's Jordan Osmond from Happen Films! Happen Films is one of the most powerful portals of inspiration in the sustainability space; not just trotting out the same old green living tropes but laying new turf, sharing fringe ideas about how to care for land, be in community, and live the change. I was stoked to sit down with Jordan now that he's back in Australia and quiz him about filmmaking, changemaking and finances – and like good little optimists, we only mentioned civilisational collapse once.Visit Happen Films on the webFollow Happen Films on YouTubeSupport Happen Films on PatreonPodcast ~ Accidental GodsDocumentary ~ Fahrenheit 9/11Documentary ~ Food Inc.Professor dude ~ Samuel Alexander Podcast ~ Possibility Now! with Ethan HughesNamaste Foundation/Biome TrustPermie Neopeasants ~ Artist as FamilyBook ~ Artist as Family's The Art of Free TravelPermie place ~ MelliodoraAlain de BottonDavid HolmgrenNicole FossHelena Norberg-HodgePodcast ~ The Great SimplificationCharles Eisenstein ~ The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is PossibleHappen Films referencedA Simpler WayFools & DreamersBen & bEarthaLiving the ChangeLiving Simply in an Off Grid Tiny HouseCreatures of Place An Invitation for Wildness

How can awareness of sustainability—even if just among a minority group of people—eventually reach a tipping point when it can then create a ripple effect and break into the mainstream? What does it take to create stories and documentaries that leave people feeling deeply inspired, empowered, and moved to action?   Sharing his wisdom here is Jordan Osmond, documentary filmmaker and Co-Founder of Happen Films. You'll hear about why fear may not an effective motivator for sustainable behavioral change, how we can learn from localized and indigenous knowledge, how to inspire and activate people through film, and more. Let's dive in!   HIGHLIGHTS   [6:46] The difference between using cold facts versus using stories when sharing information and motivating others to take action. [18:37] Jordan: "There's still time to heal the damage that has been done." [19:45] Why leading by example may be more effective than trying to force change upon others. [22:46] What first got Jordan interested in regenerative agriculture.  [27:06] Jordan: "There is so much knowledge from indigenous cultures... that is sadly being lost but is also being relearned. And that's all permaculture is really. It's nothing new."   Thanks for bringing your light!

Welcome to the first episode of Round About, a podcast that's all about politics, society, and the people that make the world turn. On this first episode, Andrew talks about clean energy and how to live a 'green life'. He then has a chat with the co-director of the documentary Living the Change, Jordan Osmond, about how he went about capturing the lives of people who are living a green life in a documentary, and how he has gone about living a green life himself - going so far as to live in a caravan!

This show is proudly part of the Auscast Network where you can hear other great shows like the Yeah G'day Podcast and Hong Kong Confidential. This show is recorded on the lands of the Wadjuk people of Perth region, and I pay respects to their elders past, present, and emerging. On this first episode of Round About, I want to touch on something that's affecting all of us. Climate Change. It's something that undeniably exists in the world - yet, we have world leaders who reject the notion that Climate Change is a major issue in todays society. After all, you have Trump opening up protected regions of America for fossil fuel exploration, and closer to home in Australia, you have current Prime Minister Scott Morrison taking a chunk of coal into the House of Representatives. That occurred long before Morrison benefited from overthrowing previous Prime Minister - and man who said that he would not lead a party who was as dedicated on combating climate change as he was - Malcolm Turnbull. Turnbull was ousted partially because of the undercurrent of anti-clean energy members of the Coalition, those who were vocal about the potential of the 'NEG' - the National Energy Guarantee. What a name. Later I'll share the interview I did with Jordan Osmond, co-director of the documentary Living the Change. A film that looks to New Zealand to see how some citizens are changing their house, their lives, and their towns, to be green and clean. Everything from creating 'living supermarkets' where a backyard is turned into an edible jungle of greenery that nourishes the occupants of the house, to green poo: outdoor toilets that allow the occupants to reuse their poo as fertiliser. Living the Change takes a look at how people can make a small change in their life to reduce their footprint on the world. And, after all, isn't that something that we need to try do more of? Isn't it important to try and lead a clean life? This may be easier sad than done, especially for those who are time poor, or financially strained. Thinking of single mothers with two kids, living in a rental property by themselves, trying to work full time, organise dinners, and raising the next generation - it's not easy for people in this situation to make a change in the world. Sure, we stopped using plastic bags, and we stopped using straws, but there is still a huge amount of things that can be done to live a greener life. It's easy to look at the removal of plastic bags from day to day life as the 'one and done' thing that will stop climate change in its tracks - and for many, that may be the extent of what they'll do to live a green life. But, plastic bags and straws are such a small thing in the grand scheme of waste that humans are creating. These single use items are so prevalent in society that it's almost impossible to not engage with them on a day to day basis. It's horrifying how much waste we can create in a week. I recently did a test of gauging how much waste I created in a week, setting aside all of the plastic that I used in one week so I could see what was left over. It was immense. I then went about reducing plastic waste, and choosing recyclable items (I'm talking paper based items, not plastic based recyclable items), and within a few weeks I was able to have a waste free week (meaning, all my waste was compostible or recyclable). So, how do you reconcile being green, on a budget, when you're living a hectic, mad life? What I did was buy things that helped reduce the amount of single use waste that I would have when I shopped. So, I picked up a produce bag from Onya bags that allowed me to get loose vegetables without having to stick them into plastic bags. I also picked up an Onya bread bag which meant that instead of buying prepacked loaves of bread, I was heading to a baker to get freshly baked bread, which in turn meant I was eating healthier bread. I also picked up some beeswax wraps to replace using glad wrap or plastic wrap for my sandwiches. These wraps are able to be reused over and over, with a mere rinse under warm water giving them a refresh. I stopped using plastic water bottles and picked up a Sigg bottle that gave me a nice clean reusable vessel to drink water, and in turn, I used a reusable coffee cup as well. I also bought a green power switch which allowed me to plug in energy draining items and switch them off once I'd finished using them so they weren't being zombie power drains and escalating my energy usage when I wasn't using them. I made sure to turn off my microwave when I wasn't using it as well. Now, all that is on when I'm not at home or I'm asleep is my modem and my fridge. Everything else is turned off at the wall or via a green power switch. These are all pretty basic things, but they're very small things that can make a change. Other things is opting to buy your fruit and vegetables from local produce centres or small green grocers, and if possible, even hit up a farmers market. These places are often cheaper, and are often directly from the farmers themselves, rather than going through a bunch of avenues to hit your local supermarket. If you're cleaning at home, have a look for some easy non-toxic homemade recipes. Often these are with items that you've already got in the house - such as bi-carb soda or vinegar. They're cheap, easy to make, and are less of a strain on the environment. If you can, try use public transport as much as possible. This in itself will usually help get your exercise minutes up as well, as you'll likely have to walk to the bus stop or train station, and will also be less of a strain on your car as well, reducing costs for vehicle maintenance and day to day fuel consumption. Set yourself up a vegetable garden. They're easy to do, and a lot of fun once they get going. They're often extremely cheap, and if you've got kids, it'll get them out in the sun with their fingers in the soil. It's also highly beneficial for your mental health as getting your fingers in touch with the earth helps revitalise you in some ways. I'm not sure how!, but I do know that I feel immediately better after doing a spot of gardening. Also, put up a 'no junk mail' sign on your mailbox, and swap out using paper towels for washable cloths. These are all small things which really don't impact that much in your day to day life, and hopefully will help you make that small step towards living a greener life. As a project, I recommend setting aside your single use waste that you produce in a week, and then assess the pile and see what waste you can cut out and swap out for greener items. I say all of this knowing that it bears repeating that living a green life is still a luxury for some. For those who are time poor or cash poor, it's hard to set up a vegetable garden, or set aside twenty bucks to buy a bag to put bread in. I know that with seeing my nephew growing up, the amount of waste that a baby creates in a day is immense. It's almost impossible to cut out single use items with a kid, especially with diapers, and their food consumption as well - with the majority of kids food being stored in plastic or single use plastic items, like yogurt sachets or jars of baby food. If you're cash poor, you're likely to have to buy items that come wrapped up in a bunch of single use plastics - items that are created for ease of use. I don't have an answer as to how to address being 'green' with living a cash poor, time poor life, but I can say that by taking small steps in small ways, you're doing a lot to reduce your footprint around the world. So, while stopping the use of plastic bags, straws, and balloons, is important, and while we all need to do more to live a green life, sometimes that's all our lives can permit.

Jordan Osmond became obsessed with documentaries in his late teens, struck by how they were having an impact on the world and how he lived his life. Wanting to create that same positive impact in the lives of others, yet not wanting to take on the exorbitant student loans of university, Jardan opted to teach himself how to use a camera and shoot stories by watching tutorials on YouTube. In 2015, with a small group of nine other people, Jordan moved onto a 20-acre property in Gippsland where he lived for a year documenting simple living, permaculture and natural building as a way to reduce our ecological footprint. The result was the feature-length documentary A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity. This project set Jordan’s documentary career in motion. Over the last two years, Jordan has travelled New Zealand with his partner and fellow filmmaker Antoinette Wilson, creating their latest documentary Living the Change: Inspiring Stories for a Sustainable Future. Spattered in amongst Jordan’s passion for sharing stories of simpler living, we also explore the crises facing our world today, why it’s important we share positive stories of change and how our reconnection to nature is essential to the healing of our planet.   RESOURCES MENTIONED + A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity + Living the Change: Inspiring Stories for a Sustainable Future + Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine + Robert Kenner’s Food Inc + Charles Eisenstein + The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, Charles Eisenstein + The Ascent of Humanity, Charles Eisenstein   CONNECT WITH JORDAN + Website: happenfilms.com | livingthechangefilm.com + YouTube: Happen Films + Instagram: @jordosmond + Twitter: @happenfilms + Facebook: /happenfilms   OTHER WAYS TO ENJOY THIS PODCAST + Listen on Apple Podcasts+ Listen on Spotify + Listen on Stitcher Radio + Subscribe by email to get untangling stories delivered straight to your inbox   CONTRIBUTE TO THE CREATION OF UNTANGLED If my show has helped, inspired or spoken to you, it is with humble gratitude that I ask for your support through a small financial contribution.

Inspiration through film. In This Podcast: She's had a “greenie” intuition as a youth but spent part of her adulthood pursuing a publishing career and a side venture as a tango dancer, but Antoinette Wilson found herself living in a permaculture-based community for a year and it changed her life.  She partnered up with another community member to write and make documentaries about the lifestyle they were experiencing, and even made some short films about others who were doing their best to have better impacts on their space.  These documentaries and short films are inspiring others to take steps toward change too. Don't miss an episode! Click here to sign up for podcast updates or visit www.urbanfarm.org/podcast Tasmania-born and New Zealand-bred, Antoinette began her professional career in book publishing and dreamt of managing the editorial offices of Random House New York by the age of 40. Instead, just before her 40th birthday she took on the management of the harvest and labour at a CSA in rural New Zealand. She had begun studying towards a Permaculture Design Certificate and was committed to living a low-impact lifestyle. During a 2015 documentary project exploring simple living, she realized the extraordinary capacity of film to educate, and teamed up with Jordan Osmond in Happen Films. The pair write, direct and produce short films and more recently their new feature film, Living the Change: Inspiring Stories for a Sustainable Future. The self-taught filmmakers live in a 20sq/meter (folks that is 215 square feet) unplumbed but luxurious room on the end of a shed in a friend's 3-acre food-forest and have a passion for sharing stories that educate and inspire about how we can all live beautifully on earth.

Stories of impending doom can have a numbing and resigning impact. But there are changes we can all make that will not only help create a movement that averts environmental crisis, but can enable us to live more connected, flourishing and well lives.
