Look at us with the salacious headline. Before it entered its Great Slowing, there was an American sartorial phenomenon known as 'Casual Friday.' It was what made down-quilted hiking gear companies like Patagonia edgy. What Yvon Chouinard's corporate renegade exploits have to do with our provocative headline is not immediately clear. But one must consider the wisdom of leaning 140 wool in an ever expanding fleece tech world. We digress.

In this episode, we are joined by Michael Wejchert, author of "Hidden Mountains: Survival and Reckoning After a Climb Gone Wrong." Michael's writing about adventure has been featured in various publications, including the New York Times, Adventure Journal, Climbing, Ascent, Alpinist, and more. He shares the fascinating story behind "Hidden Mountains," which recounts a harrowing climbing expedition in a remote Alaskan mountain range that took a dangerous turn, leading to a difficult rescue attempt and the high cost of survival. Our conversation includes a deep dive into several topics, including the impact of high-risk adventure on mental health, the challenges of writing about traumatic experiences, and the writing mentorship Michael received from the late Dave Roberts, a famous author and climber. We also explore the early days of Outward Bound in the United States and Michael's time with New Hampshire's Mountain Rescue Service. Don't miss this gripping and enlightening discussion with Michael Wejchert. Season 16 is focused on how high-risk adventure impacts mental health and is underwritten by wmai.org Michael's bio from his website: Michael Wejchert has lived in New Hampshire for ten years. He will never leave. He's guided off and on since 2012, in between trips to Newfoundland, Alaska, Patagonia, Peru, and the Canadian Rockies, often with fellow CMG guides, including his fiancée Alexa Siegel. He loves all forms of climbing, from sport clipping to multi-day suffer fests in the mountains. His favorite guiding days usually involve goggles, whiteouts, and cursing over a whisperlite stove. (It's all about that bivouac). He has guided 5.10, WI5, and many successful Presidential Traverses. Michael is a certified SPI, an AMGA Apprentice Rock Guide, a Wilderness First Responder, has his AIARE Level II Avalanche certification, and is a board member of New Hampshire's Mountain Rescue Service. He is an award-winning essayist who wrote for Alpinist, Appalachia, Ascent, Rock & Ice, Gripped, and The New York Times. He and Alexa live in a small off-the-grid cabin surrounded by piles of climbing gear and Alexa's filthy, mismatched socks.

Local realtor Shannon Toback joins Nestor on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Captain Larry's in Federal Hill to renew their radio friendship and to discuss travel, hospitality and hiking the rugged mountains of Patagonia.
Professional racing duo Syd Schulz and Macky Franklin are on a quest to race the best and most challenging mountain bike races in America, filming their adventures along the way to give viewers an unvarnished look at the reality of living on the road as professional cyclists. After traveling in a tiny orange car, then a series of (old, janky) white vans, they retired from life on the road and now live in Los Alamos, New Mexico where they train and prep for races around the world - like the recent Transandes Challenge, an epic expedition in Patagonia. They have also added cross country, stage racing and endurance events to their lineup. Syd and Macky join host Andrew Vontz to share how they went from amateur content creation to financial independence with YouTube, what it means to focus on "the 10% things not the 1% things," and why basic rest and recovery are both the most important and least executed part of every training regiment.

Harpyopsis novaeguineae, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=86187611]: Ruppell's griffon vulture: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. We've been talking about a lot of mammals lately, so let's have an episode about birds. Anbo suggested the harpy eagle not too long ago, and a much longer time ago Eva suggested the harpy eagle and other raptors. The word raptor can be confusing because it refers to a type of small theropod dinosaur as well as a type of bird. When referring to a bird, the term raptor includes eagles, hawks, vultures, owls, and other birds of prey. And that includes the harpy eagle. The harpy eagle lives throughout much of Central and South America, although not as far south as Patagonia. It has a wingspan up to about seven feet across, or over 2 meters, and like other raptors, females are larger than males. This isn't an especially big wingspan for an eagle, but that's because the harpy eagle hunts in forests and needs short, broad wings that allow it to maneuver through branches. The harpy eagle is a beautiful bird. It has a light gray head and darker gray or black body, and is white underneath with delicate black stripes on its leg feathers, with broader stripes on its tail and wings. It has a black ring around its neck, huge yellow feet with enormous talons, and a black bill. Each talon, which is the term for a raptor's claws, can be over 5 inches long, or 13 cm, while its feet in general are bigger than a grown man's hand, even if the man has especially big hands. Most striking of all is the harpy eagle's crest, also sometimes referred to as a crown. The crown is made of long, rounded feathers and most of the time they don't show very much. When a harpy eagle is alarmed, it raises the feather crown and poofs out the feathers on its face, which makes its head look bigger and sort of owl-shaped. The harpy eagle mostly lives in lowland rainforests. It mates for life and doesn't have babies every year. Every two or three years a harpy eagle pair will build a huge nest out of sticks in the top of the tallest tree they can find. The female lays two eggs, which the parents care for together. The female spends most of her time incubating the eggs while the male brings her food, although he will also take a turn incubating while she goes out to stretch her wings and do a bit of hunting herself. When the first egg hatches, the parents bring the baby lots of food and give it lots of attention--but they ignore the other egg at that point, which usually doesn't hatch as a result. A harpy eagle chick is all white at first, and although it can fly at around 6 months old, its parents will keep feeding it for almost another year. The harpy eagle is increasingly threatened due to habitat loss and poaching. Because it's such a big bird, many people shoot it because they think it's dangerous to livestock or children. But it mostly eats monkeys, sloths, kinkajous and coatis, iguanas, and other medium-sized animals. It's rare that it attacks livestock since it mostly hunts within the tree canopy for arboreal animals. If your lambs and chickens are sitting on tree branches, you already have a bigger problem than harpy eagles eating them. A captive breeding program has been started in various zoos around the world, while conservationists work to protect the harpy eagle's natural habit...
Guy talks to Brian O'Keefe about fly fishing around the world, traveling and photography. From Brian: I have had so much fun pretending to call fly fishing photography work, that I still describe this endeavor as a 'hobby out of control'. I sold my first fly fishing photograph when I was 16 years old, and let me tell you, that was a fairly long time ago. Since then, it has been my absolute pleasure to work with some of the finest publishers, magazine and photo editors and graphic artists in the world. I consider the following publishers of fly fishing photography some of the finest, and thank you for using me as a contributor: Field & Stream Magazine, USA Today, The Drake Magazine, Outside Magazine, American Angler Magazine, Orvis, Patagonia, Fly Fisherman Magazine, Outdoor Life Magazine, Catch Magazine, Fly Rod and Reel Magazine, Northwest Flyfishing Magazine, Voyage de Pesch Magazine, Oregon Tourism, Chile Tourism... I could go on and on, especially with the addition of blogs and all the websites for fly fishing lodges, products, travel companies, etc. It has been a good ride and thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way. I am more of a shoot from the hip photographer. I rarely use a tripod and I usually have to put down my fly rod or the oars to organize a shot. My style is basically editorial in nature and natural. I do not use professional models or fancy lighting. If I did, I couldn't call this a hobby out of control. I have a very deep collection of images. From my backyard pond, here in Oregon, to far flung destinations like Alaska, the Bahamas, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, Tonga, England, Mexico, Belize, Sierra Leone, Christmas Island and many more. Every decent fly fishing photographer has these kinds of lists, also. But, I have a little more time on the water than most. For example, I have made over 50 trips to Alaska and over 30 trips each to the Bahamas and Belize. Let me know what you are looking for, I'll probably have it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ben Mand is the CEO of Harmless Harvest, a pragmatic innovator, and a believer that business can be a force for good. Ben has successfully led Harmless Harvest to more than double its business in four years by transforming it from a brand solely focused on coconut water to a leader in premium functional beverages and plant-based dairy. Under his leadership, Harmless Harvest has streamlined its supply chain, invested over $1 million in Fair for Life and community support initiatives, and transitioned to regenerative organic agricultural practices to bring the company closer to its goal of 100% zero-waste. Ben sees the role of marketing as driving loyalty and advocacy in ways that benefit the business and delight the customer. He sums up his marketing philosophy as being "responsibly irreverent" and notes, "if you're comfortable with an idea today, it's going to be boring tomorrow." In this episode, Alan and Ben discuss the innovative and adventurous approach he has brought to expanding the product lines at Harmless Harvest and how he is leaning into the Constructive Capitalism model the founders built the company on. Ben tells us that he believes we are past the point of disruption-based marketing and instead focuses on placing the brand in places and, at times, when it makes the most sense that people would be looking for it. Overall, Ben's pragmatic approach to innovation, the lifelong skill of maximizing a budget, and commitment to the company's mission-led objectives have transformed Harmless Harvest from an unprofitable business into a durable and scalable company that is making a real difference in the world.

Cat is an NHS dentist in Cornwall and a recent faculty member of World Extreme Medicine, teaching expedition dentistry. She has always had a passion for adventure and helping others and this has led her on a journey across the globe. From the jungles of Borneo to the deserts of the Gobi, the African grasslands and the mountain regions of Nepal and Patagonia, Cat has travelled extensively to provide dental care and training to remote communities. She has now set her sights on the most remote continent on earth and a more ambitious challenge... This will involve her skiing 700 miles in an unsupported expedition to the South Pole, in temperatures as low as -50c and wind speeds of up to 60 mph. Only a handful of female adventurers have completed this solo, unsupported trek to the South Pole. She is hoping to add her name to that number and also in the process raise funds for charities ‘Bridge to Aid' and ‘Community Action Nepal' You can support Cat here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/molarexplorer
In the 1740s, a shipwreck produced stories of heroes and mutineers — but who was telling the truth? New Yorker staff writer David Grann joins host Krys Boyd to discuss a British warship called the Wager, which wrecked in Patagonia, and the conflicting stories of its surviving castaways. And that was just the beginning of the chaos! Grann's new book is “The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder.”
Welcome back to the podcast. This is season five's final episode which may or may not be two months late, but what are deadlines if not social constructs that we build to plan and schedule our lives around? And sometimes, life blows the fuck up and you roll with the chaos and see where it takes you.Mason went from pro-climbing to no-climbing after a slow descent into the depths of his illness. In 2018, he was diagnosed with ME/CFS—a complex, debilitating, long-term medical condition.Living with invisible illness is a high-density experience. There are no breaks or days off. It's not like being on a big wall where you could bail or get to the top and have it be over. Mason learned on the proverbial “other side” that in climbing, you could never have the intensity of experiences you could with prolonged circumstances like being sick.You are deep in the shit, and that comes with a lot of big, often ugly, emotions. Maybe one of the hardest parts of this condition is knowing that remission isn't guaranteed. Healing from an incurable illness is exactly as unglamorous as it sounds, but Mason's Come Back Tour proceeds as scheduled.For the Love of Climbing is presented by Patagonia.

He is the Board Chair of Patagonia and sits on The Nature Conservancy European Council. He co-authored the bestselling book Bulletproof Problem Solving: The One Skill That Changes Everything and The Imperfectionists: Strategic Mindsets for Uncertain Times. Charles mentions how imperfection is a powerful tool for problem-solving in a rapidly changing world. Instead of striving for perfection and following traditional industry structures, it's important to be curious, gather diverse perspectives, and embrace uncertainty to find solutions from unexpected sources.

David Grann is one of the top narrative nonfiction writers at work today; a staff writer at The New Yorker, he has previously combined a flair for adventure writing with deep historical research in acclaimed books including “The Lost City of Z” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” His latest, “The Wager,” applies those talents to a seafaring tale of mutiny and murder, reconstructing the fate of a lost British man-of-war that foundered on an island off the coast of Patagonia in the 18th century. On this week's podcast, Grann tells the host Gilbert Cruz that one of the things that most drew him to the subject was the role that storytelling itself played in the tragedy's aftermath.“The thing that really fascinated me, that really caused me to do the book,” Grann says, “was not only what happened on the island, but what happened after several of these survivors make it back to England. They have just waged a war against virtually every element, from scurvy to typhoons, to tidal waves, to shipwreck, to starvation, to the violence of their own shipmates. Now they get back to England after everything they've been through, and they are summoned to face a court marshal for their alleged crimes on the island. And if they don't tell a convincing tale, they're going to get hanged. I always think of that lovely line from Joan Didion, where she said we all tell ourselves stories in order to live — but in their case, it was quite literally true.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.

We welcoming John Perlin, whose prodigious “A Forest Journey,” has just been re-published by Patagonia. “Retaining our forests can help keep resolve climate crisis protect the integrity of many of our streams and rivers, and continue to provide food and shelter for much of the world's land animals,” says Perlin, author of four books and former physics professor at University of California, Santa Barbara. “It is my hope that the new edition of A Forest Journey will make clear the imperative humanity faces, because losing our forests would not merely be the end of nature, it could mean the end of us.” one of Harvard's “One Hundred Great Books.” John Perlin is the author of four books: A Golden Thread: 2500 Years of Solar Architecture and Technology; A Forest Journey: A History of Trees and Civilization; From Space to Earth: The Story of Solar Electricity; and Let It Shine: The 6000-Year Story of Solar Energy. Perlin taught physics at University of California, Santa Barbara. He lives in Santa Barbara. www.patagonia.com/aforestjourney Go to notes section…. For teaching guide etc… also www.aforestjourney.com For truly this dedicated work should be included in all curriculums, in our on-going task of becoming good earth steward Citizens…. answering Antonio Machado's query “What have we done with the garden entrusted to us?!” “In the new edition, Perlin cites data on how humanity has cut down half the trees on the planet in the last 12,000 years, and that deforestation continues at an alarming pace with 15 billion trees removed per year. That's 500,000 square miles of forested land lost since the first 1989 edition of A Forest Journey. The updates also include recent research that is hopeful, too. The forest's role as both a source and sink for CO2; findings on how trees produce 40 percent or more of the world's precipitation; and changes in the field of forestry like the growing significance of old-growth trees. Perlin emphasizes the importance of forests in the (xxxxfight againstxxx) task of resolving global climate crisis and the urgency to protect what remains of the great trees and forests of the world. “Old-growth forest systems now and in the future take on equally significant roles as they did in the past,” says Perlin. “This time it is their protection, rather than extraction, that will allow civilization to flourish.” The post The Visionary Activist Show – A Forest Journey appeared first on KPFA.
Last year alone, 10 climate-related disasters displaced millions of people with damages exceeding $3B. The time to act is now. Goizueta's Wes Longhofer and Danni Dong join to discuss the role of business and innovation in a climate-smart world. The past eight years have been the warmest on record, with sea levels are rising twice as fast as they were three decades ago. Often, when we think of innovation we think too narrowly - new technologies, products, or services. However, in tackling a problem as pervasive and complex as climate change, our approach in the business world needs to be broader, more holistic. We'll talk today about the three pillars of business innovation in a climate-smart world: technology, business models, and education. Wesley Longhofer is an associate professor of organization and management and the Executive Academic Director of Goizueta's Business & Society Institute. His work on climate change has been funded by the National Science Foundation and featured in the Washington Post and Nature. His most recent co-authored book, Super Polluters: Targeting the World's Largest Sites of Climate Disrupting Emissions, was published by Columbia University Press in 2020. Wes is also a member of the recently launched Emory Climate Research Initiative. Danni Dong is a dual degree graduate student at Emory pursuing her MBA and MSPH at Goizueta Business School and Rollins School of Public Health. Danni is a passionate activist working to tackle climate challenge through public private partnerships. She has worked with several governmental agencies including the Atlanta Housing Authority, Environmental Protection Agency, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Danni recently attended the United Nations Climate Conference in Egypt as a student ambassador with Emory Climate Talks. This episode of the Goizueta Effect podcast was co-created in partnership with Goizueta MBA students and ClimateCAP delegates including Danni Dong, Nikhil Mathur, Jimmy John, and Peter Danis. A delegation of 11 MBA students from Goizueta Business School recently attended the ClimateCAP Global Summit. Along with hundreds of leading students and professionals from across the nation, they explored the enormous influence and responsibility business leaders hold in driving toward a climate-smart world.

The circular economy involves designing products and systems that are efficient, durable, and easy to repair, refurbish, or recycle. Companies like Patagonia and FairPhone have successfully implemented circular strategies, incorporating buyback programs, refurbished goods, and modular products that can be partially upgraded to lengthen their useful life. These strategies not only benefit the planet, but also create customer loyalty and competitive advantage. First It Was Shareholder vs. Stakeholder Capitalism. Now There Are “Multi-Stakeholders”? A newer way of thinking has come about recently, focusing on the importance of the multi-stakeholder approach in business. Central to this concept is considering the interests of all parties affected by a company's actions, including employees, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment. Communities are demanding that companies create more value for society than they extract, and the environment is also considered a stakeholder due to the impact of climate change on businesses. By considering multi-stakeholders, the true cost of climate change is clearer. From recent flooding in Pakistan to the longest recorded drought in Eastern Africa, it is apparent that the environment is a key stakeholder that needs to be considered. Natural disasters triggered by climate change have resulted in $3 trillion worth of economic losses between 2010 and 2020. Companies must take a multi-stakeholder approach to mitigate these risks and account for the impact of their operations. How Can Innovation Combat Climate Change? Green hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel option for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Companies like Siemens Energy and NextEra Energy are investing heavily in green hydrogen technologies to reach zero emissions without offsets. Widespread adoption of green hydrogen is seen as necessary to compete with natural gas. Likewise, how we move goods around the planet is an area that can be reconsidered to benefit the planet. Following the pandemic and the realization of fragile supply chains, there is now a shift in the US to reign in supply chains and bring them nearshore or even back onshore. This prompted the passage of the CHIPS Act which focuses on semiconductor manufacturing, but also spurred other industries to consider bringing operations closer to home. Such a shift from offshoring to onshoring could significantly decrease emissions from maritime and aviation shipping, which together currently accounts for more than 20% of global emissions. What Role Does the Government Play? The government is a key player in addressing the climate crisis. The government provides a regulatory mechanism to enforce climate disclosures and spur private investment through setting ambitious policy goals. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was cited as an example of such policy, providing $370 billion in investments to address the climate crisis through new projects and initiatives, including clean energy tax credits, block grants for environmental justice, and boosting domestic manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries. This is aligned with the “mission economy” concept by economist Mariana Mazzucato, in which the government sets ambitious policy goals to coordinate public and private partnerships. From a reporting standpoint, both the SEC and the EU are considering new ESG reporting requirements. The proposed SEC rule would require publicly traded companies to disclose their carbon emissions and how climate risks are affecting their businesses, while the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive would require EU companies (and any US company with EU business) to report on a broader range of ESG topics. How Does Social Justice Overlap with Climate? Climate justice refers to solutions that address the disproportionate costs that vulnerable populations face due to climate change. This includes recognizing how climate change impacts inequities tied to gender, race, class, nation, and ethnicity and ensuring that any low-carbon economy is inclusive. The framework for climate justice in business includes embedding human rights in the supply chain, sharing the burdens and benefits from an energy transition fairly, being transparent and accountable in climate commitments, co-designing climate solutions with an inclusion lens, and investing in developing climate-smart education and skills in the entire supply chain. Patagonia in particular has directly funded organizations working on climate justice, democracy, biodiversity, and the environmental challenges impacting indigenous communities. They have also advocated for policy changes and produced films that call attention to indigenous environmental struggles around the world. Additionally, its founder, Yvon Choiunard, gave away all non-voting stock in the $3 billion company to a collective that will use all non-reinvested profits to fight climate change. Beyond technological improvements and reduction of greenhouse gases, it is importance to recognize that renewable energy solutions may bring their own costs, such as disruptions to indigenous communities. Businesses need to adopt a justice perspective that includes empathy for the real pain that climate change has caused for many communities around the world. One emerging framework is the “people-centered approach” to corporate sustainability. In this framework, carbon is just one part of the story. It's important to consider the health impacts of climate change and air pollution, particularly PM2.5, which is responsible for chronic asthma and cancer. Corporate sustainability is not just about decarbonization; business leaders must consider how their actions impact people on a systemic level when addressing social justice concerns. Healthy populations are the cornerstone of thriving economies. Can Innovation Save Us? When it comes to addressing the climate crisis, technological innovation is often touted as a key solution. But is it really as straightforward as just developing and scaling up new technologies? What are the limitations and risks associated with relying on technological breakthroughs? Since the beginning of human existence, innovation and our ability to adapt have been critical components of our survival and progress. However, as we face the urgent challenge of climate change, it is becoming increasingly clear that innovation alone may not be enough to address the scale of this problem. Take Electric vehicles. When first introduced, electric vehicles (EVs) were touted as the golden ticket to zero emissions in the transportation sector. The reality is more complicated. Putting aside the environmental impact of mining rare earth materials, electric vehicles require more electricity to manufacture. And of course, they rely on electricity to run, but where is that electricity coming from? Fossil fuels still account for 60% of the electricity generated in the US. Many life cycle analyses have shown that EVs are only a greener alternative to internal combustion vehicles if the vehicle is produced and driven in an area that offers clean electricity. That's to say, the effectiveness of green technology hinges upon a decarbonized grid. Currently, 73% of global Greenhouse gas emissions come from the energy sector, which also means there is enormous potential for change. Scaling existing technology around solar, wind, and hydropower, while simultaneously phasing out coal fired powerplants is key. Widespread rollout of real-time dynamic pricing for electricity is also a way to encourage low-carbon behavior while reducing operating costs. With the traditional block pricing, prices remain constant irrespective of demand. Real time pricing encourages people to use power when renewable energy is available and conserve when it's not. Utility companies could potentially see improvements in efficiency due to a decrease in the required capacity to fulfill demand. Doesn't All This Investment in Sustainability Hinder Growth? There is a common misconception that sustainable business practices hinder growth, but evidence shows it can actually drive growth. From a bottom-line standpoint too, sustainable practices often involve implementing energy-efficient processes, leading to cost reductions and more profit. Companies with strong sustainability performance can attract more investment and secure better financing terms, allowing them to access cheap capital while growing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) offerings. Take the examples of Walmart's Project Gigaton, which led to almost $1 billion in annual cost savings, and Alphabet's $5.75 billion sustainability bond issuance with record low coupon rates. A recent McKinsey report estimates that climate-oriented equity transactions in private markets increased more than 2.5 times from 2019 to 2022, to about $196 billion, whereas the overall private-market equity market declined by 24% over the same period. In addition, a 2015 review of more than 2,000 empirical studies of ESG and financial performance found that the vast majority had a positive relationship. Green business can be good business. What Role Do Business Schools Play in Innovation and Transition? It's important for business schools to embed a deeper understanding of climate science and climate awareness into their curriculum. This involves going beyond simply offering a class in climate science to reimagining business education itself to address climate change. Initiatives like Business Schools for Climate Leadership introduce concepts like circular economies, carbon markets, carbon reporting, and climate strategy into the existing core curriculum. Additionally, Longhofer argues that the climate crisis could be a moonshot for business schools to address declining enrollments and changes in the market, while also resolving long-standing tensions about the purpose of business. What Do Employers Need to Know About Climate-Focused MBAs? Climate change is becoming increasingly important for business students and the business world, and employers need to be ready. While some students believe in dismantling the system, most are willing to create systemic change from within. Employers are changing too, and companies need to be transparent in their climate commitments to engage new talent in setting and meeting those commitments. Some employers have already embraced it. The CEO of BCG recently made a public statement calling for climate activists to join the firm, and Longhofer recalls that he's lost count of the number of alums who have reached out in the past two years because they are put on ESG-related projects much sooner than they anticipated. Especially because of the new reporting requirements, ESG is here to stay. Employers need to take notice.

SummaryWe've been thinking a lot about planning ever since the recent Creative Force webinar on editorial production. Specifically how planning differs from editorial to product photography. On the editorial side, you know when you start a project you'll need photo, video, h/mu, styling etc. for a set number of days. Running an ecomm studio adds an element to that, the idea of carryover. How much product will I have left over at the end of the day, and what does that mean for staffing tomorrow, or next week? All of this thinking about planning reminded us of this conversation with Scott Willson of Patagonia, specifically when he talks about how a well functioning, efficient studio often looks like things are running smoothly and easily. Due in no small part to planning. Let's flash back to Episode 24, process vs. product with Scott Willson of Patagonia.

Our guest for April's episode is alpinist and climate activist Molly Kawahata. You may recognize her name from The Scale of Hope, a Patagonia-sponsored film that came out last November. Leading up to the release of that film, Molly was becoming a household name in the climate movement. Pulling on human psychology and neuroscience, her approach to communicating climate action is arguably unprecedented, as she moves to make it more relatable to the everyday person. Molly's experience as a climate advisor at the White House during the Obama administration spring boarded her into the path that she is currently on, and she hasn't slowed down. A combination of working tirelessly as a climate advocate, Alaskan alpine climbing, and a long bout with a mental health disorder has brought her to where she is now. Tune in to hear more from Molly about how these experiences made her a fixture in the climate movement. 12:05- Patagonia's Film, The Scale of Hope 24:29- Molly's openness about her Bipolar 2 Disorder 37:50- Working at the White House 47:09- Reframing climate change communication 51:53- The science of hope 55:24- Changing the narrative towards public health 1:03:16- The Inflation Reduction Act & systemic change 1:07:02- Climate mitigation vs. adaptation 1:16:10- Molly's career & closing remarks Molly's Instagram: @mollykawahata Scale of Hope film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrmKoU2Oe5I Environmental Voter Project: https://www.environmentalvoter.org/

Bienvenido a este espacio, tu podcast: ¡Superando la diabetes! Uno de los mayores retos que he tenido desde el diagnóstico, ha sido, mantener la calma. Y una de las herramientas a las que he recurrido, ha sido la lectura, para dar esa batalla. Y digo batalla, porque no solo es el hecho de sacar el tiempo para leer, sino más bien, el hecho de aquietarme para leer. Tener varios proyectos a la vez ha sido parte de mi vida desde joven, me gusta, me energiza, aunque parezca contraproducente. Tengo que decir que, en la realidad, en ocasiones diluyo los resultados, si, y tardo en llegar a las metas cuando no me concentro en una sola cosa, cuando me sorprendo, en ese camino comprendo que, es parte de sentirme útil, vivirlo así. Entonces, he tenido que hacer ajustes, en más de una ocasión; he escogido un proyecto principal y comenzado a ver resultados. Así, pues lo aplico a tareas del hogar, proyectos de trabajo, etc. Algo así plantea un libro que me recomendaron, titulado: The One Thing, escrito por Gary Keller y Jay Papasan La versión en español: https://amzn.to/41rO4ua Y puede que te preguntes, ¿cómo relaciono las tareas o proyectos con el amor incondicional? Pues, para empezar, el amor tiene que ver con todo. Y para continuar, cada proyecto que te propones tiene una raíz basada en el amor incondicional. Desde mi experiencia, puedo decir que, si no estás en calma, estás despegándote de esa raíz y tu proyecto no cumple su propósito. Todos queremos una vida plena y feliz. Trabajas porque quieres tener una vida plena y feliz, vas a la iglesia, tienes amigos, cuidas de otros, te esfuerzas, porque quieres eso, una vida feliz. El detalle que percibo, en algunos de nosotros es para lograr esa vida plena, vivimos con una mentalidad de mucha exigencia, de mucha presión con el “tengo que” Por ejemplo: Tengo que estar al día, y te pregunto: ¿te repites esa frase constantemente? Al día con las citas, al día con las reuniones de la empresa, la organización del hogar, al día con tu pareja, con la ropa, actividades familiares, comidas, tienes que estar al día con tus finanzas, etc., etc. Todo ese “tengo que” interno, te lleva a un estado mental de estrés que no es constructivo. Hace poco en vi en Netflix un documental titulado: From Stress To Happiness (Del estrés a la felicidad) y ahí vi un ejercicio que practicó un monje con un grupo de personas que le acompaña a la Patagonia. Ese ejercicio lo he visto en películas, por YouTube cuando buscas sobre temas de meditación, y no sé si también lo he tenido en alguna lectura por ahí. Lo cierto es que no es la primera vez que lo veo, y que en algún momento lo practiqué y me pareció medio ridículo, porque no le encontraba el sentido, no podía revivir nada; pero con el pasar del tiempo, desde el diagnóstico de diabetes, he vivido de forma mas calmada, mas consciente y en esta ocasión, pude seguir al monje y experimenté la realidad y profundidad del ejercicio. Porqué, buscando aquietar la mente, ya sé concentrarme en mi respiración, y respiro, y atiendo, y duermo y como estando presente. En el documental, lo plantea el monje, como un ejercicio para recordar el amor incondicional y ser feliz con lo que tienes en el momento presente, a tu alcance, sin estrés. Practicarlo y practicarlo, tanto que se haga parte de tu vida, acompañándote ese hermoso estado de amor incondicional a todas tus tareas o cotidianidades de forma que no te estreses destructivamente. Me encantó tanto que por eso te lo traigo. Cuando recuerdas vivencias tristes, cuando tienes sentimientos de impotencia, cuando no ves resultados, la mente se sitúa en ese estado de obscuridad que ve todo triste y eres tan capaz que salir de ahí, tienes tanto poder dentro de Ti, que no se justifica para nada un estado permanente de estrés. Vamos a ello: Tú has sentido el amor incondicional… Piénsalo, tomate unos minutos y recuérdalo. El amor del Padre Todopoderoso, manifestado en tu vida; el amor de un hijo, la mirada de una madre, la carcajada de un abuelo. La sonrisa de un amado. Tu has sentido gozo ante un nacimiento, acogida en un abrazo, o simplemente el amor de tu mascota que te espera cada mañana y cada tarde. Tú has sentido las olas del mar, la brisa fresca.

Steve House is Founder of Uphill Athlete and a proudly retired professional climber and mountain guide. Jan has known him for years. For 21 years, Steve was a professional climber. In 1999 he became only the ninth American to achieve IFMGA certification, which is the highest level to guide all over the world. He has guided trips all across the world. In this discussion, Steve shares his journey from mountain sports to high-altitude climbing, to a nearly fatal fall, to coaching. Besides coaching mountain athletes, his current challenge is getting his pilot's license. Steve talks about the purposes of mountain sports and how separation from daily distractions while moving your body through nature guides you on your journey. https://bit.ly/TLP-354 Key Takeaways [1:53] Jan shares Steve's bio. (See at the end of the show notes.) [4:19] Steve thanks Jan and Jim for the invitation to The Leadership Podcast. As a professional athlete, there's not much that's not in his public bio. He's almost a private pilot and is less than a month from taking his final practical exam. He describes a recent incredible flight and the energy flying gives him. [7:09] When Steve was 20, he was studying in college to be an aeronautical engineer. Then he got hijacked by climbing. Now he has the chance to come back and do something he has always loved. [8:17] In 2010, Steve was doing a training climb preparing for an expedition to do a new route on the west face of K2 with an expert fellow climber. He had a bad fall of around 100 feet. He broke 24 ribs. Two ribs were smashed into innumerable pieces. He had multiple pelvis fractures, knocked all the spinal processes off his vertebrae, and had many internal injuries. [9:18] Steve lay on his back for about two hours. He knew he had hemopneumothorax. His breathing grew shallow as his chest cavity filled with blood. What came out of that was a lot of self-reflection. He had to come to terms with his drive to become the very best at what he did. That was his mission statement. [10:45] As Steve reflected, at age 39, he was trying to figure out if he would function again. He had to think about what his values were, and what he cared about and wanted to do. Was it time to change his mission statement? He hadn't accomplished everything in climbing but he decided he had accomplished enough. He could be proud of what he did do, and he was going to pivot to other values and other goals. [11:57] In elite sports, you're boxed off from the world. You eat, sleep, train, and go climb. You save all your energy to be better. It's how you achieve individual greatness. But you're not part of a team. Steve saw his crisis as a time to reflect and redirect. [13:48] Steve thinks that due to the intensity with which he pursued his goals, he required an intense jolt to trigger reflection. Anything less wasn't going to work. He notes that most of the people he climbed with are dead. That's how risky and dangerous climbing is. Steve has only a handful of friends from that era that are still alive. Steve realized he was going to join those who were no longer alive if he continued. [15:29] As a mountain sports trainer, Steve is in a position to help athletes get past the binary narrative of success or failure. There's a much greater range of possible experiences. We have often seen that the one that came in first cheated or used performance-enhancing substances. The whole paradigm is broken. There is another way to experience sports. Mountain sports do not have a history of competition. [17:02] Steve would tell his younger self he was always going to feel like an imposter, and that was completely OK, and that everybody else does, too. That feeling was one of the things that were hardest for him to overcome. It goes back to childhood. He was the scrawny little kid that wasn't good at sports. [18:49] One of the things that Steve learned from childhood was grit. He loved gritty experiences from a very early age. When he was 10, he backpacked his first 50-mile hike. When he was 11, he climbed Mount Hood. These were just things they did as a family or with his father. He enjoyed it. [20:37] Steve and his Uphill Athlete team talk about Campbell's Hero's Journey paradigm and try to figure out what step their client is on for that journey. The goal is to help them through that one step. Everyone is on the same journey, at a different step. [23:22] Uphill Athlete doesn't exist to motivate people but to educate and inspire. Coaching is education and teaching people how they can apply endurance training methodologies and see the changes in their bodies. It takes a couple of months for people to get fully bought in and see their progress. When they get to that epiphany, they are committed to the journey for life and remain in the Uphill Athlete community. [25:17] Going back to the imposter syndrome, Steve is often surprised that he knows the answer. And the only reason he can know the answer is because he lived it through 20 years of being an athlete. These are things you cannot learn in a physiology textbook. [26:05] What holds people back is their minds, their fears, their insecurities, and the pieces that they don't understand, or can't conceptualize well. Those are the questions Steven can clear up easily, but he is always surprised. [27:37] Steve tried to teach a man with a Ph.D. in exercise physiology how to coach but it was impossible because he didn't understand what it felt like in his body to do what was written on the training plan. He couldn't relate to the people even though he'd run circles around everybody on the science. [28:27] When Steve interviews people to be coaches, he's looking for people who have a unique superpower. He doesn't need 15 people that all know the same thing. He needs people that have different backgrounds and experiences and are willing and eager to share with other people and also learn from them. They have to be far enough along on their journey that they can take feedback constructively. [29:17] When you have a team that can do all of those things, it's incredible. Steve's team includes physical therapists, medical doctors, masters in high altitude physiology, and coaches that have coached every endurance sport you can imagine. They have great energy between them. [30:29] Some people Steven hires have well-defined superpowers. Some younger people don't know their superpower. Steven describes how he leverages coaches to develop the superpower in people within a relationship that is entirely a safe place for them to ask those “dumb questions.” [33:39] Steve has a lot of athletes that do not have a set goal. They want to learn and experience and be in a community of like-minded people. Steve tells them it's OK not to have an Everest goal. Sometimes it's enough to engage with people as you learn. [36:10] Arthur Brooks's new book, From Strength to Strength, is about finding clarity in the second chapter of life. [36:47] Steve uses the phrase, “naming the uncertainty.” Write down what you don't know. Let that sit. People come back to him in a month and say it was great to let that sink in. There are more than two chapters for a lot of people. [37:38] Mountain sports have an important role to play in people's journeys. Being in the wilderness in small teams and overcoming obstacles lets the noise go away. So much more happens out there than we give it credit for. People are not getting pings out there moving their bodies through nature and letting their subconscious minds do the work. Steve has solved writer's block many times with a long walk. [43:52] Steven's final thought: “It's joyful to learn something. It's joyful to become fitter. It's joyful to climb a mountain. … Walking up a summit ridge and standing on top of a mountain is ultimately no different than walking into the grocery store and going to the cereal aisle. But what is different is if you've been to the top of the mountain, you have an appreciation for all the rest.” [45:34] Closing quote: Remember, “People say, ‘Are you insane?' But the most successful climbers are the most calculating, with the most refined sense of risk. They're hyper-conscious of safety. They're the least insane people I know.” — Jimmy Chin Quotable Quotes “I'm almost a private pilot. … I'm less than a month away. … I just had an amazing flight. … I flew from Slovenia down into Croatia, landed on an island, … flew back to Slovenia, landed … in the mountains in Slovenia, Took off from there, and returned to the home airport.” “[After a difficult accomplishment], at the end of the day, you just feel so full of energy and experience and awe.” “In 2010, I was doing a training climb. I was preparing for an expedition to climb a new route, … and … I fell around 100 feet. I broke 24 ribs, … I had multiple pelvis fractures, … [and] internal injuries. … I lay there for about two hours. I had a hemopneumothorax.” “We don't always need a crisis. Sometimes it just takes a long walk in the woods. But I think that reassessing our values and making sure that they align with our purpose and our mission is probably something that all of us have to do many times throughout our lives.” “This whole thing of like, ‘If you're not first, you're last,' invalidates pretty much everyone's experience except one person's.” “I loved gritty experiences from a very early age.” “I'm often surprised that I know the answer. And the only reason I can know the answer is because I lived it through 20 years of being an athlete. These are things you cannot learn in a physiology textbook.” “I've written four books now and I can't tell you how many times writer's block has just been solved by a long walk — and with no purpose. A walk with no purpose.” Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors. LLC Self-Reliant Leadership.
