"The important thing is not your process. The important thing is your process for improving your process." (Ryan Todd). In this episode we start to dig into our stories of sisu (a practice introduced in the previous episode) to build our personal manual for navigating tough times. The key is to not continue to rely on sisu to appear randomly (which happens too because it is life force whose job is to keep you alive) or in ways that leave unnecessary damage its wake due to unwise over-extension or lack of self-care during the process. Some healthy steps toward constructive sisu include:  1) intentionally preparing for times that demand sisu and 2) cultivating patterns and habits that promote healthy sisu. I recommend using and crafting a diary specifically dedicated for understanding your patterns and habits around sisu. A book that over time gets filled with your most valued insights and tips from both life and research regarding the many pathways to fortitude. Thus, it can become the basis  for your personal user manual for enduring hardship and expressing courage in the face of nonexistent odds. The problem isn't so much that we don't have strength. We simply get caught in dysfunctional patterns (negative thinking, projections, and nervous system that is off whack) and forget the levers we can and must pull to access sisu. Hope you enjoy the episode!Find more about sisu at www.sisulab.com or check my book 'Gentle Power: A Revolution in How We Think, Lead, and Succeed Using the Finnish Art of Sisu' (2023). Sisu is a reserve of inner strength but it is also a way for us to know ourselves and impact the world in a positive way. Cultivating these reserves of inner strength starts with self-care and continues through self-inquiry. its power then extends to the world through our inspired acts of deep courage and compassion.

In that light is this article. It's titled The biggest carbon losers. It's by Toby Heaps at Corporate Knights on corporateknights.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “This year, Corporate Knights set out to identify global companies that have decarbonized faster than their peers while simultaneously increasing revenue. Our researchers evaluated the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of more than 6,500 publicly traded companies. We eventually whittled the list down to 20 corporations from eight sectors that cut the most carbon over the last decade… Many are far from sustainability leaders. They're among the world's largest oil majors, coal burners and mining corporations. About two-thirds of the GHG reductions achieved by these companies were genuine from the planet's perspective… Italian electricity and gas distributor Enel topped the Carbon Reduction 20 ranking… According to calculations by Corporate Knights, these 20 companies funnelled just 35% of new investments in 2021 toward the sustainable, low-carbon economy, as defined by the Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Taxonomy… 12 of the 20 funnelled more cash to shareholders and top executives than to growing their low-carbon sustainable business offerings… Note… we didn't include Scope 3.” End quotes. Incidentally, the list and details of the 20 companies are found at the bottom of the article. ------------------------------------------------------------- Amid Fixed Income Calamity, Green Bonds Look Interesting Now let's talk green bonds with this article titled Amid Fixed Income Calamity, Green Bonds Look Interesting. It's by Tom Lydon on etftrends.com. Now some quotes from Mr. Lydon. “Data suggest demand for green bonds is perking, indicating the VanEck Green Bond ETF (NYSEArca: GRNB) could be a fixed income exchange traded fund worthy of evaluation. (The fund) tracks the S&P Green Bond U.S. Dollar Select Index, is down year-to-date, but that negative performance could belie opportunity with green bonds. Additionally, data confirm some investors remain enthusiastic about this still young corner of the global bond market… ‘Companies and governments around the world raised more than $54 billion in green bonds last month, compared with more than $35 billion raised in August, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That's despite overall bond issuance in the U.S. and Europe dropping significantly…' reports David Caleb Mutua for Bloomberg.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5 green companies to invest in and why they will multiply your investment by 20x And, lastly, we have this article titled 5 green companies to invest in and why they will multiply your investment by 20x. It's by Market Trends on analyticsinsight.net. Here are some quotes on each of their picks which include some eco-tokens. “1) First Solar Inc.

The great reset or resignation, employee or life dissatisfaction, and general malaise. So many people want to make a change, try something different, but they feel it's too big of a stretch, or a dream they aren't capable of racing towards. Andre De Grasse's dream was to play professional basketball but in his final year, the program was cancelled at his high school.  On a dare from a friend, and in borrowed shoes, he signed up for a track meet.  From a standing start, as he didn't know how to use the blocks, Andre took the first steps towards racing to become the fastest man in the world and a medal winner in every Olympic competition he has entered. Not everyone will run as fast and as far as Andre De Grasse, or stand on a podium draped in Olympic Gold.  However, most can learn from how Andre goes after his dreams on and off the track, with humility, grace, will and resilience. If you are feeling stuck on your starter blocks, or just starting out, or just love a fantastic story of conquest, you will enjoy this episode.

Ryan & Todd continue their conversation about spiritual abuse with Ken Garrett.

The market for non-fungible tokens, digital collectibles, and tokenized music is hitting the mainstream. On Thursday, Beeple's NFT-powered suite of 5,000 images sold for a staggering $69 million, making it the third-highest figure paid for work by a living artist. Indeed, the sale sent shockwaves across the broader press, cementing NFT's place in the mainstream consciousness. The market has been growing at a fast clip, with weekly users on NFT platforms soaring from around 20,000 at the beginning of the year to nearly 200,000 this week, according to data from The Block.  On this episode of The Scoop, The Block's Frank Chaparro and Ryan Todd unpack the market's recent headlines with DJ and music producer 3Lau. Performing artist 3Lau has long been focused on the intersection of music and crypto. Recently, he tokenized an album in a move that netted the Long Island native more than $11 million. In this episode of The Scoop, the group discusses how tokenization will usurp record labels and put more money in the pockets of artists, his plans for helping more artists get involved in NFTs, and what makes this current crypto boom cycle different from the initial coin offering rally.  "You have these middlemen that have capitalized on artists' emotions and their lack of financial savviness," he said, describing the record labels and managing companies that capture much of the value from a musician's work. Through NFTs, artists can now engage directly with their audiences.  "Beeple is an example of that as someone who makes amazing stuff. Will there be speculation in the short term? Yes. Will there be innovation in the long term? Yes," he said, adding: "But in the end, just like with any market, there is a period of price discovery and that's what we're going through right now. The difference between this and what happened with the ICO boom in 2017: back then, people were buying ideas that could barely be delivered upon. Now people are buying things that give them emotions."

Count this as one of the first major acquisitions deals of 2021: Coinbase said on Wednesday that it is set to acquire crypto infrastructure services provider Bison Trails for an undisclosed sum.  On this episode of The Scoop, Coinbase chief product officer Surojit Chatterjee and Bison Trails CEO Joe Lallouz unpack the deal with The Block's Frank Chaparro and Ryan Todd.  "Bison trails is going to serve as a foundational product within our product portfolio: what we call our ecosystem products," Chatterjee, a former executive at Google, said.  "So staking infra services is a start point, but we are going to look at other potential services that we can externalize, that we can create as a service." The deal represents a bigger push by Coinbase to offer its internal solutions to new client segments, Chatterjee said. "Over time you will see we will extend additional infrastructure and API services, many of which have actually been developed to power our internal Coinbase product," he added. "We want to externalize them make them services for the entire crypto ecosystem." In this episode of The Scoop, we explore various aspects of the deal, including: What it could mean for Coinbase's existing staking offering How it improves Coinbase's standing as an infrastructure as a service provider in the crypto market How the Bison Trail's team could lead to new external API services for big ticket clients and help improve existing services Chatterjee's product philosophy for Coinbase Recent moves by rivals to snag banking licenses from the OCC 

In this episode, Charles and Michael catch up with alumni of the Young Philatelic Leaders' Fellowship, Ryan Todd Wellmaker and Jess Rodriguex, to discuss what they've been up to since graduating from the program, and how they've continued to be engaged in the philatelic community.

If you’re looking for a point of differentiation between your carrier and the competition, how about making your employee’s mental health a priority?  “Mental health, things like mindfulness and stress reduction, reduce safety incidents, and they improve performance, and they improve loyalty.” Dr. Ryan Todd, CEO of Headversity, joins Chad on this week’s episode to discuss the workplace mental health and resilience platform he’s built for the modern workforce.  In this incredibly interesting interview, Chad and Ryan delve into the impact of COVID and the pandemic on the mental health of drivers and dispatchers. The stress that is on people right now is like nothing before. Stress causes frustration which leads to conflict. And conflict leads to turnover.  “The number one reason that people in stressful positions leave is to reduce that stress, and to go to a place where the grass is greener, where they can use their skill set in a job or position or with a company that would appreciate them more, or that would not stress them out as much.” So how can you work through conflict? How can you talk about mental health with employees and build their resilience? This is a fascinating episode, we hope you get a lot out of it.  What you’ll learn about in this episode: Key takeaways: The genesis of Headversity The culture of self-sufficiency The impact of COVID on mental health Why there’s been a decrease in EAP utilization Headversity is a non-diagnostic tool How companies can use the aggregated anonymised data The CARE methodology How to connect with Ryan Todd: ryan@headversity.com info@headversity.com

Dr. Ryan Todd is a sports fan who just happens to be the creator of the Headversity. His timing could not have been better entering the space of helping teams and businesses learn resilience and how to handle things like failure.

Dr. Ryan Todd Discusses How Headversity Provides Resilience Training Ryan Todd is the cofounder and CEO of Headversity. He completed his MD at the University of Calgary. Since then, he has worked as a psychiatrist and cofounded this company. Headversity focuses on facilitating resilience in the workplace using a personalized app. In this episode, Dr. Todd speaks about the ways Headversity is able to provide resilience in these trying times.    Top three takeaways: Headversity focuses on resilience training so when faced with adversity, people not only survive but thrive in these situations.  The main skills targeted with resilience training include stress management, mindfulness, and hardiness.  An initial psychometric exam will provide you with a resilience score that guides you to the tools and content that would be most helpful for you.    [0:00] Ladan introduces the episode and the guest, Dr. Ryan Todd.    [2:00] Todd  explains how Headversity is a training program targeting improving resilience, which is  given to all employees at many large organizations.    [4:30]  A hardiness mindset consists of realizing the differences in what we can and cannot control, and reflecting upon these differences.    [6:30]  Resilience is easiest to spot in athletes because we can see how they react under pressure, but these aspects can be applied to our mental fitness as well.    [8:40]  Headversity users have shown an increase in mindfulness, mental health and heartiness scores of 30% over six months.

Happy Pride Oh Hey listeners! Hopefully you had a fun and safe Pride.  Ryan & Todd take this Pride as an opportunity to talk about the origins of our community flag and what the colors represented.

In episode 434 of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things, I am sharing one of my favorite psychology episodes over the years all about resilience! We are back with our Wednesday segment where I chat with psychologists, therapists and other experts on the science of personal growth. The month of April 2019 will focus on Resilience and features medical psychiatrist Dr. Ryan Todd, the CEO of Headversity and performance psychologist who worked as a lead for the Canadian Olympic team, Dr. Karen MacNeill, the Chief Product Officer of Headversity. This episode is about how to build resilience. We talk about why it can be challenging, how to know if you're resilient, and what the six steps are to build resilience from a scientific and practical perspective.

From multi-platinum performing artist to crypto-entrepreneur, the mononymous Akon has long chased lofty ambitions. The Senegal-native's Akoin project is the singer's latest lofty endeavor. The aptly-named cryptocurrency was founded to democratize financial-services in Africa, where traditional banking infrastructure is scarce. Indeed, the project harkens back to the ICO boom of 2017 when celebrities made headlines in the mainstream press for promoting a digital currency fundraise – drawing the attention and occasional ire of regulators. In this episode of The Scoop, Akon – the chief visionary of Akoin – and Akoin president Jon Karas join The Block's Frank Chaparro and Ryan Todd to defend the project's viability. Akon and Jon position Akoin not as the answer to the financial inefficiencies of the world but as a last-mile solution to financially unify a continent long hindered by corruption and monetary instability. In this episode, we also discuss:  How Akon's ties to Western Africa, and Senegal in particular, give him an advantage over other crypto entrepreneurs that that are less familiar with the region How Akon was able to work with the Senegalese government to develop Akon City, a planned smart city that he claims has attracted $7 billion in funding Akon's favorite traditional Senegalese dish: Thieboudienne

Despite the world being beset by the COVID-19 pandemic and a financial crisis, humor is something we can all find respite in. This is even the case, believe it or not, for Wall Street.  From the Ghana funeral that's swept financial services Twitter (FinTwit) following Ray Dalio's "cash is trash" call to the much-loved "Money printer go brr," this crisis has seen its fair share of memes. Indeed, it's fueled engagement for meme accounts, such as Ramp Capital, the anonymous, self-declared CFO of FinTwit. An engineer by trade, the man behind the Ramp Capital account has been tweeting about the financial services world since 2013, bringing a degree of humility to an ecosystem long known for its buttoned-up style. He's ramped things up, pun intended, since global markets began gyrating in February. On this episode of The Scoop, The Block's Frank Chaparro and Ryan Todd talk to Ramp about memeing through the crisis and its wild stock market swings, Ramp's crowdsourced stock portfolio – $WERAMP – and Ramp's observations on the key difference between market sentiment and Twitter sentiment.

The U.S. Federal Reserve and the Federal government are working aggressively to implement policies to address the financial crisis tied to the spread of Covid-19. Most recently, Americans across the country began receiving checks to recoup losses in their incomes and the Fed said it would serve as a backstop for the junk bond market, announcing it would for the first time purchase corporate bonds including those in junk territory.  Such government actions has triggered a cacophony of criticism, some of whom argue the stimulus doesn't go far enough to address mounting unemployment. Others say the Fed's action could result in a surge in inflation. In an episode of The Scoop, legendary macro investor and founder of Real Vision Raoul Pal joins The Block's Frank Chaparro and Ryan Todd to examine the current macro backdrop. Pal argues that the impact of Covid-19 on consumer of behavior—including a dip in spending on concerts and restaurants—is not being truly appreciated by the markets. In this episode we also explore: Why stimulus up until this point is "papering up the cracks" and won't be enough to sustain the economy through the Covid-19 storm What he would do if he ran the Fed Why people should be worried about deflation, not inflation How the "dollar is going to break the global system" and how that could benefit Libra or bitcoin  Episode 13 of Season 2 of The Scoop was recorded remotely with Frank Chaparro, Ryan Todd and Raoul Pal, CEO and founder of Real Vision. 

A financial crisis triggered by a global pandemic has exposed underlying problems on Wall Street and the market as a whole. That's according to Paxos chief executive officer Charles Cascarilla, who made an appearance on the latest episode of The Scoop podcast with host Frank Chaparro.  Cascarilla – who spent the most formative years of his career as a hedge fund investor at Cedar Hill Capital during the 2008-2009 financial crisis – talked about unexpected liquidity issues across assets, such as Treasury securities and CAT bonds, and the problematic plumbing at the heart of it all. Cascarilla said that uncertainty of the pipes and plumbing added to the risk associated with volatility and the inability to price assets during an economic and health crisis. He said less risk can be created by knowing where one's assets are on a blockchain. In this episode of The Scoop, Cascarilla walked us through how Paxos is trying to usurp the current plumbing of Wall Street alongside power hitters like Credit Suisse and Instinet with a new blockchain-based settlement platform. The episode also dug into conditions that could result in widespread bank failures and nationalization of the industry. And of course, the discussion touched on bitcoin's role in a global crisis and whether the premier cryptocurrency emerges from this crisis period as digital gold.  Episode 12 of Season 2 of The Scoop was recorded remotely with Frank Chaparro, Ryan Todd and Charles Cascarilla, CEO of Paxos. 

Usual co-host Chris Treft is joined by guest co-host Brent Meske (USHL Director of Media & Communications) as the pair are joined by headversity CEO and Psychiatrist Dr. Ryan Todd. Dr. Todd talks about the great partnership between the USHL and headversity that began this season as well as what everyone can be doing during the coronavirus shutdown to maintain strong mental health and remain mentally resilient.

The cryptocurrency market continues to exhibit signs of volatility. As such, Genesis Global Trading – an institutional over-the-counter cryptocurrency trading and lending firm – decided to hit the pause button on credit extension amidst the coronavirus-tied market chaos.  Recently, Genesis has started to extend credit on a client-by-client basis but is acting gingerly in the market it helped pioneer – at least for a few weeks to figure out where the crypto credit market stands. Moreover, while Genesis pulls back, its rivals have been willing to give out loans at significantly reduced collateral.  In this episode of the Scoop, Genesis CEO Michael Moro discusses the firm's rationale behind these critical decisions, a recent phone call it received from its regulator FINRA, and how the need for employees to work remotely has impacted its business.  Episode 11 of Season 2 of The Scoop was recorded remotely with Frank Chaparro, Ryan Todd and Michael Moro, CEO at of Genesis Global Trading and Genesis Capital.

A Sermon Series through the book of James

This week: BAS on the west coast! We talk to Adriana Salazar and John Spiak, director and chief curator of the Grand Central Art Center, which has an exhibition of Adriana's work up currently. Also, we talk to Sabina Ott about The Terrain Exhibitions Biennial which is this coming weekend! Plan your life around seeing us at EXPO!!! You know you want to. ADRIANA SALAZAR: NOTHING ELSE LEFT 2013 California-Pacific Triennial Partnership with Orange County Museum of Art July 6 through September 22, 2013 Is there an end to our existence? Can we be separated from our bodies and be transformed into something else? Adriana Salazar's work has continued to revolve around these questions in different ways. This is why the realm of mortuary customs appeals to her: it presents numerous ways to approach the ultimate unknown. Her past series of works have attempted to bring inanimate objects to life; crystalize human actions into mechanical devices; worked to blur the line that separates the natural and the artificial. Death has been an ever-present part of her work, understood in a broader sense, in her own words, "I want to address death as a dare to the certainties of knowledge, and as a challenge to deeply rooted traditions. Thus, my work has taken its course transforming mechanical actions, obsolete objects, fading plants and passing life into installations and objects that could become questioning situations themselves." For this current series, created during a two-month residency at Grand Central Art Center, the artist desired to go deeper into that moment of transition between life and death, finding out as much as she could about what happens with our bodies, with our consciousness and with everything we build around the death of others. In her words, "I found, amongst other things, that there is an aesthetics of transition, that there are rituals trying to maintain life after death, and laws which govern our bodies, even when we are not fully present. I also found out that there are transitional techniques and an intricate industry around them." Some of these techniques of transition have the purpose of dematerializing the body - its physical presence, associated to life and its impermanence - replacing it with a different kind of immaterial presence. In the crematory, a compartment ignites at a very high temperature until the body is almost entirely dissolved. In order to secure the transparency of this transition, all particles of bone are carefully separated from any other solid object that might exist in our remains. These foreign bodies - implants, replacements, metal bodily parts, and every sign of our artificial self - must be removed. All that is left are bones, which are then reduced to the size of grains of sand. These remains are kept in homes, spread at symbolic locations, interned at traditional burials site, or used in other creative manners. The artificial parts, on the other hand, are usually recycled for their metals or tossed away. Salazar has decided to rescue as many cremated artificial body parts possible. These parts remain as solid as they were inside their bodies and are nevertheless considered residue. She found their value in this very ambiguity. They embody the question of the status of our own existence on a physical level: their materiality creates confusion between those objects as parts of a physical body and our own body, thus opening the gap between our certainties and uncertainties, beyond the matter of human death itself. The simple presence of these objects puts the status of life into question, allowing us to see, on one hand, the death of usage and value as something applicable to our own bodies. They allow us to see, on the other hand, the possibility of our existence as purely impermanent, earthly and physical. They allow us to see our possible becoming.
