In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I speak with a photographer dedicated to preserving the rich tapestry of diverse and disappearing subcultures around the world. Join us as we delve into the stories behind the images, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and profound impact of documenting these vibrant communities before they vanish into obscurity. My guest, Matt Jacob (or as he is known online, Matty J) shares his stories and process when it comes to documenting the rituals, traditions, and everyday lives of subcultures on the brink of disappearing. From hunting with eagles in Mongolia to tracking the Bedouin in the Arabian Peninsula, he uncovers the complexities of capturing the essence of cultures facing rapid change and globalization, as well as the urgent need to preserve these unique identities for future generations. As we celebrate the diversity of subcultures worldwide, this episode serves as a call to action for photographers to become custodians of cultural heritage. By documenting these communities with sensitivity, respect, and empathy, photographers have the power to amplify their voices and shine a spotlight on their struggles and triumphs. Join us as we explore the transformative potential of photography to bridge divides, foster understanding, and honor the richness of human experience in all its forms.

Through his large social media following, Matt not only showcases his art but also provides educational tips and episodes from his podcast, fostering a community of fellow creatives eager to learn, grow, and find inspiration. Additionally, he is excited to announce his latest offerings—an insightful eBook and an upcoming video course—that delve deep into the art of portrait photography, providing aspiring artists with theoretical education, practical guidance, and creative motivation. Matt's journey began humbly with a disposable camera and aspirations of aviation. Unexpectedly, a battle with cancer reshaped his perspective, instilling in him a deep appreciation for life's fleeting moments. This profound shift inspired him to craft timeless snapshots that transcend mere imagery, resonating with diverse audiences and emphasizing the significance of cherishing each form of life and culture. Furthermore, through his growing podcast, Matt delves into the deeper and more meaningful philosophies surrounding photography, filmmaking, and other art forms, enriching the art of conversation with discussions and insights garnered from his own journey and the experiences of fellow artists.

Squaaddd! Happy New Year! Welcome back to our first 2024 episode. In this episode, "Stacking Success: Crushing Habit Building for a Mindful Dry-ish January." We're getting into the nitty-gritty of the Dry-ish January challenge, focusing on the incredible impact that habit formation can have on our relationship with alcohol (and other things we want to see go). Here are the deets! Insight on Habit Formation: As a performance dietitian and life coach, we discuss the importance of implementing habits as we enter the new year. We'll offer expert strategies for examining and improving your drinking habits, enhanced by the features of the Dry-ish January app. Harnessing the Power of Challenges and Systems: I'll explore the synergy between personal challenges and the systems that help us manage them. We dissect the habit loop—cue, action, reward—and share actionable advice for modifying these habits to better our lives. The Three Layers of Behavioral Change: Then we'll dive into the three layers of behavioral change: identity, performance, and appearance. We'll align the importance of aligning our actions with the identity we're striving for and break down complex habits into simple, actionable rituals.

70 Paul Ehrlich on The Limits to Growth

Biologist Paul Ehrlich reflects on the 1972 MIT study, The Limits to Growth, on its 50th anniversary – including the fact that it has been refuted (poorly), ignored, and confirmed. The study was done by a team of scientists commissioned by the Club of Rome to develop a computer model to simulate the interaction of earth and human systems. It revealed that continuation of the then-current trends in population, industrialization, resource use and pollution would result in overshooting the carrying capacity of the Earth and result in a general collapse at some point in the first half of the 21st century. The study results were published in the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth, which holds the record as the top-selling environmental book. The book was authored by four system dynamics scientists (Donella Meadows, Dennis Meadows, Jørgen Randers, and William Behrens III). Gaya Herrington, whose 2020 analysis of The Limits to Growth was published in Yale's Journal of Industrial Ecology, described the study and book aptly: “the authors identified society's relentless pursuit of growth not as the solution to, but the cause of, so many of the environmental and social crises that plague humanity still today.” “....what is it about Homo sapiens that leads us to the limits as a moth to a flame.  Why don't we stop?  Why should we?  Can we?”   – Brian Czech, Executive Director of the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy Read The Limits to Growth: Online Read, but includes scans of pages and downloadable charts https://collections.dartmouth.edu/teitexts/meadows/diplomatic/meadows_ltg-diplomatic.html High Quality Scan https://collections.dartmouth.edu/content/deliver/inline/meadows/pdf/meadows_ltg-001.pdf Mentioned in Our Discussion of The Limits to Growth: Limits to Growth 50th Anniversary Events - on Club of Rome website https://www.clubofrome.org/ltg50-events/ UN Event June 2-3: Stockholm+50: a healthy planet for the prosperity of all – our responsibility, our opportunity View live on the web: https://www.stockholm50.global/events/programme The Stockholm+50 Conference: What You Need to Know and Why It Matters https://unfoundation.org/blog/post/the-stockholm50-conference-what-you-need-to-know-and-why-it-matters/ Take this survey before June 2: https://www.stockholm50.global/state-planet-global-public-survey June 10 seminar: Limits to Growth +50: Can Economies Keep Growing Indefinitely on a Finite Planet?

This podcast is part of the GrowthBusters project to raise awareness of overshoot and end our culture's obsession with, and pursuit of, growth. Dave Gardner directed the documentary GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, which Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich declared “could be the most important film ever made.” Co-host, and self-described "energy nerd," Stephanie Gardner has degrees in Environmental Studies and Environmental Law & Policy.
