Podcasts about Reciprocity

It starts with recognizing the game. If someone is doing you a favor out of the kindness of their heart, it won't be so difficult to offer them a favor in return. When someone is attempting to manipulate you with that favor??? You're allowed to respond in whatever way you see fit.DONATE:www.pcrf.netGet Involved:Operation Olive Branch: Spreadsheets + LinksGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

What is art? What is art anyway? It's a new term, really. I think we need to go a little bit beyond that. I think of myself as a sound practitioner, so what can I offer? If someone has a visual acuity, if someone has acuity with body and movement and voice, you know, what is it that we can do in our communities to help people to listen, to be in their bodies, to breathe?My conversation withcomposer, sound artist, media artist and facilitator Tina Pearson, whose work explores nuanced sonic investigations of perception, presence and place. suggests we slow down and listen, which I often hear artists suggest on this podcast but how does one do that? Well, soundwalking is one way to do, which what Tina and I did during our 90-minute conversation, recorded in September 2024 at PKOLS park, translates to ‘White Head' or ‘White Rock' in the SENĆOŦEN language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, also known as Mt. Douglas Park inVictoria, British Columbia. I edited down our long conversation to 15-minutes, which as you will hear is accompanied by rainfall and the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Action pointsPractice deep listening to places and communities to understand their needs Question whether current artistic practices perpetuate harmful systemsConsider how artistic work can offer service and benefit to a specific place Explore alternative ways of being a sound practitioner beyond traditional concerts and touringPause and reflect on the impact of our actions and practices on the environmentShow notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AI:Story PreviewImagine walking through a park, not just seeing, but truly listening. What if our art could heal, not harm, the world around us? Join me and Tina Pearson as we explore the profound act of listening to place and the courage it takes to question our creative practices.Chapter Summary00:00 Defining Art and Sound Practice01:06 The Art of Sound Walking02:16 Reciprocity with Nature03:49 Untethering from Modernity05:02 The Gift of Listening06:36 Rethinking Artistic Practices09:14 Community-Centric Art Practices12:19 Listening to Place and CommunityFeatured QuotesI think of myself as a sound practitioner. So what can I offer?One of the biggest gifts you can give someone is to really truly, deeply listen to them. And similarly to a place.It's the construct of how we've got here that's the problem. Not the actual things as much.Behind the StoryThis conversation, recorded at PKOLS Park in September 2024, dives into Tina Pearson's philosophy of sound and place. It challenges the conventional approaches to art and climate action, advocating for a deeper, more reciprocal relationship with the environment. Pearson's personal background as a first-generation North American informs her perspective on decolonization and untethering from harmful systems. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODES Hey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Mary welcomes back pastor and Bible scholar Andy Woods to look at what we saw, and what we may have missed, in the last week. Israel and Iran went at it and it won't be over till it's over. Which is as it should be, but will Trump insist on taking it to the talk table before Israel has really made the world safe from the largest exporter of terrorism? So much to look at there. We also look at politics, American style, when it comes to the waste of time that was No Kings Saturday. Sometimes we wonder if the Left has thought this through, trying to rid the country of Trump. What exactly do they think would happen if he is gone, are they hoping to simply install their favorite progressive the next day? The lack of civics knowledge will come home to haunt them. We also look at Gog and Magog; the Mark of the Beast tech, and the media mentality, which is generally one of lies and half-truths again. Still. A great hour with a gifted teacher and prophecy watcher. His Pastors Point of View on YouTube is a great way to keep up with the times.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

As always, I've also included various natural sound recordings that I made, among them: western wood-pewee (Contopus sordidulus) songs, pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) calls and drumming, songs of a Wilson's warbler (Cardellina pusilla) and a yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), the call of a Cassin's kingbird (Tyrannus vociferans), the wind through the tall dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum), the song of a Middle American screech-owl (Megascops guatemalae), songs of boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata), and a singing western screech-owl (Megascops kennicottii). As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

Podcast Notes Episode 466 Exploring the Principles of Influence with Wes Bryant Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Wes Bryant Brian and Wes meet again, this time exploring Dr. Robert Cialdini's seven principles of ethical influence—Liking, Reciprocity, Social Proof, Unity, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity. Drawing from years of research and practical coaching experience, they unpack how these principles show up naturally in everyday life and how they can be used truthfully, wisely, and generously. With personal stories, biblical connections, and actionable insights, the series emphasizes that influence isn't about manipulation—it's about building trust, offering value, and creating alignment between your message and your audience's motivations. Key Highlights:          Liking & Unity: People say yes to those they like or feel connected to. Shared identity builds faster, deeper rapport than shared interests alone.          Reciprocity & Generosity: Give first—genuinely, without strings. True service often leads to unexpected opportunities and relationships.          Social Proof: Others' voices carry weight. Testimonials, champions, and visible approval signal credibility and trustworthiness.          Authority & Consistency: People follow perceived experts and prefer to stay consistent with prior commitments. Use micro-agreements and visible endorsements wisely.          Scarcity Drives Action: Real limits (time, spots, access) motivate decisions. But urgency must be truthful—false pressure breaks trust. Takeaways:          Serve First, Then Ask – Generosity leads to reciprocity; people help those who help them.          Show You Belong – Build unity by naming your niche and connecting through shared identity.          Use Testimonials Thoughtfully – Let satisfied clients or respected voices advocate for you.          Ask Clearly, Set Real Limits – Micro-commitments boost follow-through; true scarcity drives decision-making.

In this episode, we discuss the responsibility artists feel to give back through their work after being influenced by others. We share stories of stepping outside our comfort zones—including a chance encounter with a silversmith in Badlands National Park—and how these experiences fuel creativity. We explore the tension between control and surrender in the creative process and examine why modern comforts often distance us from making meaningful work.We look at what makes creative output timeless and how to connect with deeper truths in our art. Drawing from road trips, travel literature, and photography experiences, we consider the difference between talking about creating versus actually creating something authentic. The conversation challenges us to move beyond comfortable routines and safe creative choices to produce work that resonates on a deeper level and contributes something valuable to the ongoing creative dialogue. - Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Learn about a new think tank that's doing some of the most important thinking on the planet. Matt Orsagh is co-founder of the Arketa Institute for Post-Growth Finance and co-author of a just-published white paper, By Disaster Or Design: How Finance Can Evolve to Avoid the Worst of the Ecological Challenges We Face and Enable the Transition to a Better Economic Model. That paper, and this episode, offer an introduction to degrowth, the rational response for a society in ecological overshoot. Degrowth is “an equitable downscaling of production and consumption that increases human well-being and enhances ecological conditions at the local and global level, in the short and long term.” We also explore how the financial industry needs to evolve as we transition to a post-growth economy. Matt is also author of the Substack column, Degrowth is the Answer. The Arketa Institute is working to “normalize the conversation around ecological economics and degrowth in the financial world.” Steve Rocco and Anastasia Linn are co-founders with Matt Orsagh. The white paper was written by the three of them, and edited by Nicholas Harland. Some upcoming events of note: April 29: Webinar to discuss the paper 'By Disaster or Design'.

In today's episode, we're talking about something that too many people forget — reciprocity. That old saying “you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours” still holds weight. I don't believe in taking without giving back. If someone helps me, I return the favor — not out of obligation, but because that's what real ones do. This is a code I live by. If you want to build strong relationships, grow your network, and actually win long-term… you better start living by it too.

Feeling invisible is a heavy burden many carry, which means you're not alone. In today's conversation, we are delving into the profound impact of feeling unseen. Invisibility isn't just an emotion. When it lives within our emotional body, minds, and sould for long enough, it becomes ingrained into our sense of self. So, today, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into transformative tools to reclaim your visibility from within. We're exploring how invisibility shapes your identity, understand its emotional weight, and learn actionable steps to reconnect with yourself. The distinction between guilt (the belief that one has done something wrong) and shame (the belief that one inherently is wrong) is crucial here. These feelings typically arise from environments or relationships where we aren't truly seen or acknowledged. Let's get right to it! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Feeling Invisible: Discusses the emotional weight of feeling unseen. Explores how invisibility affects identity and self-worth. Understanding Invisibility: Distinguishes between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I am bad"). Encourages listeners to recognize their intrinsic value despite external perceptions. Tools for Reclaiming Visibility: Reflective Journaling Prompts: What did I feel today that no one else noticed? What truth do I wish someone had asked me about today? What part of me am I hiding? And why? Self-Affirmation Practices: Daily affirmations in front of a mirror to reinforce self-recognition and worthiness. Building Safe Connections: Identifying "spirit keepers" who genuinely see and support you. Creating a "Safe Person Map" to identify those who have made you feel known. The Ripple Effect of Connection: Encourages giving visibility to others as it fosters reciprocal energy exchange. Finding environments that reflect your true self enhances personal expansion over shrinking for acceptance. many of us grapple with the feeling of being invisible. This sensation can significantly impact our identity and self-worth, leading to a cycle of guilt and shame that is difficult to break. In a recent episode of "Get Your Life Together Girl," host Danielle Vann dives deep into this topic, offering insights and practical strategies for overcoming these feelings.   Practical Exercises for Self-Reflection To combat these negative feelings, foster self-awareness: Daily Ritual Questions: What feelings went unnoticed today? What truths do you wish were asked about you? What parts of yourself are you hiding and why? These questions encourage introspection and help individuals reconnect with their authentic selves. Positive Affirmations: Standing in front of a mirror each day and affirming your worth can be transformative. Simple statements like "I am worthy" or "I deserve to be seen" reinforce self-visibility. Building Supportive Environments An essential part of reclaiming visibility involves surrounding oneself with supportive people—what Danielle calls "spirit keepers." These are individuals who genuinely acknowledge us for who we are. Creating Your Safe Person Map This tool helps identify those who make us feel known and understood: List people in your life who have shown genuine interest. Reach out regularly to maintain connections. Express gratitude towards them, reinforcing mutual support. Additionally, critically assessing your environment is vital—seek spaces that reflect back authenticity rather than stifle personal growth. Reciprocity in Relationships Visibility isn't just about being seen; it's also about seeing others: Acknowledge Others: Small gestures like thanking someone sincerely or recognizing their efforts create reciprocal visibility. Cultivate Empathy: Surround yourself with communities where empathy prevails over narcissism—a space filled with genuine care fosters individual empowerment too! Actionable Takeaways: Engage in daily reflection with journaling prompts Practice positive affirmations regularly to build internal validation. Identify safe spaces and people where genuine connection is possible; nurture these relationships actively.

Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green (2025) vs The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2024)

Send us a textHappy Earth Day! There are two concepts that every person should understand to be a better Earthling: entropy and self-organization. It seems like a paradox, but systems on Earth are simultaneously breaking down into disorder and arranging themselves into complex superorganisms. Everything on Earth (well, really in the whole universe) is subject to the second law of thermodynamics, which means it all dies and decays. But with access to steady flows of energy, organisms, ecosystems, and human societies can hold back the death and decay for a spell. After dropping the kids off at the pool, Asher, Rob, and Jason cover the interplay of entropy and self-organization and contemplate how to manage the inevitability of entropy with elegance (beyond morphing into a lizard person).Originally recorded on 4/8/25.Warning: This podcast occasionally uses spicy language.Sources/Links/Notes:Geoffrey West, Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies, Penguin Books, 2018.Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, Scribner, 2024.William Rees, “End game: the economy as eco-catastrophe and what needs to change,” Real-World Economics Review, 2019.The laws of thermodynamics, as explained by the website “Physics for Idiots""Telegraph Road" - song by Dire StraitsDavid Owen, "Green Manhattan," The New Yorker, October 10, 2004.Other Crazy Town episodes you might like:Crazy Town 100 - A Temporary Techno Stunt: Tom Murphy on Falling out or Love with ModernityCrazy Town 35 - Self Domestication and Overshoot, or… the Story of Foxes and Russian MelodramaCrazy Town Bonus Riff - Vanilla Andreessen, Pygmy Marmosets, and Hi-Tech DelusionsSupport the show

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.Ethics is the most challenging reading I've done, possibly ever. I'm not sure if it's because I am out of the habit of reading deeply, or my attention span rivals a gnat's, or if this text is actually that hard, but I pushed through. After reading about virtue, and habit, and endurance, and choosing pain because you know it will lead to the good thing, I was not about to stop.We talk a little about the importance of a good translation (more on that to come!) and take a deep dive into note-taking. This is a big project, and I wanted to be sure to retain the big ideas as I went along. I share the things I'm doing, what seems to be working and what I don't do.There is so much to this text. (Maybe that's another reason it was so intense?) In no particular order, just a few notes. There are three basic ways of life: pleasure, politics, and contemplation. Don't confuse pleasure with happiness, because they aren't the same. Contemplation is great—you might be happy—but there's no real action, and that is part of what virtue requires. So, political life, a life lived in relation to others, is the highest good.A virtue is typically the middle way between the vices of too much and too little. For example, courage is the middle way between recklessness and cowardice.Reciprocity is what holds a community together (there's the politics!), and economics is even based on the idea of reciprocity.Friendship. My goodness, I could have used these thoughts at 18, or 24, and can definitely use them now. There are three types of friendships: of utility, of pleasure, and complete. Complete is rare, and so you should attend to it. But it can end if the friends become markedly less equal in some way. Knowing that might help you inoculate against it.Aristotle breaks everything into taxonomies—I mean, the man was obsessed with categorizing everything. It's much more of an engineer's approach to life than Plato's with his ideas about Forms.Regarding Poetics, what amazing guidance about storytelling in tragedy or epic. I wonder if modern filmmakers ever have to read this.Metaphor is the master poet's tool.When I began this project I said I'd read introductions minimally and try to engage solely with the text as much as possible. I needed help with Aristotle, and I highly recommend Larry Arn's series from Hillsdale College.Music this week was Bach's Cello Concertos. Beautiful, lush, varied. I have a real love affair with the cello so this was a pleasure to listen to! You can listen here.This is a year-long challenge! Join me next week as we return for love with Plato and war with Herodotus.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify -
