Send us a textThis class explores the seminal Chassidic discourse Basi LeGani, first written by the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, and later expanded upon annually by his successor, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. This discourse outlines the purpose of creation: transforming the world into G‑d's garden, a place of divine presence. It introduces the responsibility of the “Seventh Generation”—our generation—to complete this mission and usher in the final redemption. Through themes of personal transformation, divine revelation, and the power of "holy folly," we uncover the Rebbe's call to action: to bring G‑d's presence into every aspect of the world.Key Takeaways:The Garden is Our World – Basi LeGani describes G‑d's desire to dwell in this physical world, not just in the heavens. Our task is to make the world a home for Him.The Mission of the Seventh Generation – Like Moses, the seventh leader in his lineage, our generation—the seventh since the Alter Rebbe—is tasked with completing the divine plan.Transforming Darkness into Light – The discourse emphasizes that our struggles with the “inner animal” are part of the mission; by channeling our desires toward holiness, we refine ourselves and the world.Holy Folly – True service of G‑d sometimes requires acting beyond logic, just as the Tabernacle was built from shittim (wood related to shtut, folly). We must counter worldly foolishness with a deeper devotion that transcends reason.A Call to Action – The Rebbe's words demand more than study—they require us to actively bring others closer to Torah and mitzvot, ensuring that no soul is left behind in preparing the world for Moshiach.#chabad #Rebbe #chassidic #basilegnai #lubavitch #LubavitcherRebbe #Shechinah #YudShevatSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Yud Shevat – 75 Years What is the significance of this milestone? How does Basi L'Gani capture the central theme and mission of our seventh generation? What lessons do we learn from chapter 15 of Basi L'Gani? What is the chiddush that the most hidden treasures – l'maaleh maaleh ad ayn kaytz – are splurged on to the foot soldiers empowering them to be victorious over the enemies? What did each Rebbe add to the understanding of tzimtzum? Why did the maamar Basi L'Gani 5745 create a buzz by Chassidim? What are the practical applications of knowing that there are tzimtzumim before the tzimtzum ha'rishon (as explained in Basi L'Gani 5745)? What does chassidus mean when it refers to Hashem's essence as light – etzem ha'ohr? Why is ohr so fundamental in uniting G-d with existence? What's the point of knowing that G-d is so great that we can never really know him? Can we say that spreading the teachings of Chassidus by the Rebbeim is an expression of “splurging the treasures” (bizbuz ha'otzros)? How do we apply the statement that all sevenths are precious? If the Alter Rebbe opposed France and the West, why did the Frierdiker Rebbe settle in the United States? What's the best way to receive a response from the Rebbe today? What is the central theme of this Torah chapter? What personal and global lessons does it offer us? Can we apply the continuing story of exodus to the hostages today? Is G-d hardening the hearts of Hamas? Does the recent release of some hostages reflect the energy of redemption we read about in these weekly portions? How do we tap into this energy? Once G-d promised Jacob that He Himself would redeem him and his children, why did He appoint Moshe to lead the Jews out of Egypt?
Send us a textHello, and welcome to this special episode of The Inner Game of Change.Today's episode is deeply meaningful, as it features a conversation with the remarkable Carol Sanford. Carol has been a pioneer of Regenerative Thinking for over four decades, helping entrepreneurs and executives transform their businesses responsibly and meaningfully. Her work has left an indelible mark on so many lives and organisations.It is with a heavy heart that I share that Carol is now in transition out of this world, as shared by her son Mark 2 days ago. Despite the challenges of her illness, Carol was determined to share her thoughts and wisdom with me and all of you. During the recording, it was not easy for her to continue speaking, and after around 20 minutes, we had to bring the conversation to a close as she had given all she could in that moment.This episode is a testament to Carol's unwavering commitment to sharing her insights, even in the face of immense difficulty. I invite you to listen closely as she shares her thoughts on her models, philosophies, and the profound lessons she has spent a lifetime teaching.This is a tribute to Carol's incredible legacy. May her courage, ideas, and spirit continue to inspire us all as we honour her remarkable journey. I am grateful that Carol has agreed to have a chat with me.

I then turned to teaching and educating businesses globally growing them rapidly, by double digits, all the while making work meaningful and fun.

I wrote case-story-based books about these experiences to inspire and instruct others. I speak from this deep history of educating Executives and Entrepreneurs to innovate and grow their businesses responsibly. For over four decades, I have worked with great leaders of successful businesses such as Google, DuPont, Intel, P&G, Seventh Generation.

What is the role that brands should play in our climate change conversations? We see some brands being consistent champions for the planet in their marketing campaigns, even beyond Earth Day, but is it enough? As consumer concern about climate change grows, so does the demand for brands to take an active role—not just in marketing but in genuine engagement with policy development and community dialogue. Yet, many companies still hesitate to make their voices heard. Why is that? What do consumers genuinely want from brands? In episode 153 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we explore how brands can have more meaningful conversations, the importance of aligning actions with values, and how to break through the fear that might be holding some brands back. To help us challenge the status quo and uncover how brands can better connect with consumers who care deeply about the future of our planet, I sat down to chat with Ali Wines. Ali is a communications strategist who helps companies talk about sustainability and climate change. She runs Uncommon Ground Communications, where she works with clients from the ski and outdoor industry to nonprofits and construction companies to tell their sustainability stories with authenticity and courage. Before starting Uncommon Ground, Ali was the Executive Director of Protect Our Winters Canada. She's a skier, a dog person, and a mum to two daughters who are faster than her on a mountain bike.

Carol Sanford (https://carolsanford.com/) is one of the most important thinkers of the last few decades. Like no-one else, her work calls out the deeply damaging effects of Behaviourism on all aspects of our lives, especially learning and education, and advocates for a living systems approach to business, education and community. Carol's latest book, ‘No More Gold Stars: Regenerating Capacity to Think for Ourselves' is in some ways a synthesis of many of her most powerful ideas that she has developed through a lifetime of practice and learning from various indigenous and wisdom traditions. But it also calls out the damaging Behaviourist ideas that have ‘become ubiquitous in all our lives and institutions' and undermined our trust in our abilities to know ourselves and think for ourselves - in all of our various and richly diverse ways. As Tyson Yunkaporta calls it in his amazing foreword to the book, “the sharp and pointy gift that keeps on giving”. As someone living with ALS, Carol's voice can be a little hard to understand at times, so if you would like it you will find a transcript link here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wkr31QCA2MO5y9AynAq0L7Qb1bStlk0muFralyIfBeM/edit?usp=sharing (as well as the automatic transcription on Spotify and some other podcast platforms). As Carol says in Part One: “I use the 7 First Principles of Living Systems to be rigorous in examination, precise in focus and in order to rise up and venerate life. Otherwise, we fool ourself for the sake of our ego.” (https://carolsanford.medium.com/the-regenerative-education-system-and-practice-part-1-23ffcc86326e) Part Two: Principle 1 - Engage with wholes Principle 2 - Evoke essence Part Three: Principle 3 - Realise individual potential Principle 4 - Development of mind and beings Principle 5 - Work within nestedness Part Four: Principle 6 - Laser focus to nodal Principle 7 - Regenerate energy fields (Due to Medium paywall, I am also sharing all of the articles, Parts 1-4, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12HWRFUbzmWpv4_k7JxLFgn7F99r8UG4o/view?usp=drive_link) Carol refers to Alice Waters, chef and restauranteur who started the Edible Schoolyard movement at Berkeley. https://search.worldcat.org/title/Edible-Schoolyard-:-a-universal-idea/oclc/1280875278 About Carol: For four decades, Carol has worked with great leaders of successful businesses such as Google, DuPont, Intel, P&G, and Seventh Generation, educating them to develop their people and ensure a continuous stream of innovation that continually deliver extraordinary results.

What if the history you thought you knew was wrong? Like, actually and so very wrong... Join us for a powerful conversation with Taylor Keen, a Cherokee Nation citizen, carrier of the name, “Bison Mane” of the Earthen Bison Clan of the Omaha Tribe, The People Who Move Against the Current. He is the author of the book, "Rediscovering Turtle Island: A First People's Account of the Sacred Geography of America." Taylor brings to life the ancient creation myths of his people, indigenous cosmology, and the rise of empires like Cahokia, challenging us to rethink our settler historical narratives. We also explore the seventh generation prophecy and the severe impact of smallpox on indigenous populations, marking significant historical changes with the arrival of European settlers. Taylor shares the transformative story of the white bison calves' birth, a symbol of the end of six generations of hardship and the dawn of a new era where indigenous knowledge is finally recognized and valued. Inspired by works like Vine Deloria Jr.'s Custer Died for Your Sins and God Is Red, Taylor emphasizes the crucial role of indigenous voices in reclaiming and retelling their histories. Dive with us into the intricate web of ancient stories, the legacies of colonization, and the enduring resilience of native peoples.

Summary: Another way to attract birds to your backyard is to provide nesting possibilities. Join Kiersten and Cheryl as they talk about what kinds of nest boxes you can provide for your backyard birds. For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.

We wanted our listeners to know what kind of food to feed to attract the kinds of birds you wanted to see in your backyard. It occurred to me the other day that Cheryl and I have yet to talk about the other way to attract birds to the backyard and that is using nest boxes. So, today's episode is all about the nest box. Cheryl: Just like bird feeding, putting up birdhouses in your yard has evolved over the years to incorporate seasonal bird behavior and new scientific discoveries. To truly give the birds outside the best chance at surviving our constantly changing world, there are new guidelines for putting up birdhouses. It's not a one size fits all device any more. You don't just put up something that looks great to you and has a hole with a perch under it and see what happens. By observing bird behavior in the wild we've determined the best ways to offer birds a safe and secure home for raising young. Following these guidelines is the best way for you to attract even more birds to your yard and enjoy them for generations to come. Kiersten: First of all, let's start off with features of a good birdhouse. These features are specific to birdhouses used for nesting, also referred to as nest boxes. There are a few important features for usable nest boxes and they apply to a box you make yourself or one that you purchase. First make sure the wood is untreated and unpainted. The best woods to use are cedar, pine, cypress, or for larger boxes, non-pressure treated CDX exterior grade plywood. Second, use galvanized screws for construction. These hold up better than nails and are easier to remove when repairs are needed. Third, make sure the roof is sloped and hangs over the main body of the house by 2-4 inches over the opening and 2 inches along the sides. This will help keep out rain even when it gets heavy and the wind is whipping wildly and will also help defend against predators. Adding ¼” cuts under all three edges of the roof will help funnel water away from the house, like rain gutters on our own houses. Fourth, a recessed floor helps keep the nest dry and prolongs the life of the box. Drainage holes on the floor are important, just in case water gets in. You can cut away the corners of the floor if you're making it yourself or drill 4 holes approximately 3/8” to ½” in diameter on the floor of a premade box. Sixth, to regulate the temperature the walls should be at least ¾” thick. We also want ventilation holes in both side walls, this is especially important in the heat of the southwest. There should be two holes at the top of each wall with 5/8” diameter. Cheryl: Seventh, predator prevention. Predators are something that birds have to deal with naturally, but remember we are offering them a house that they are not making themselves. When they make their own nest, they disguise it from the predators such as snakes, raccoons, chipmunks, and outdoor domestic cats. The box that we're offering can stick out like a sore thumb so we need to take a few precautions. First, no perches under the opening! The birds don't need them and it's like a welcome mat for predators. Add baffles to the structure where you've mounted the nest box. Using collar baffles or stovepipe baffles work great on poles and smaller trees. Noel guards, a wire mesh tube attached to the front of the house, is a good way to protect an opening on a box mounted on a tree that is too large for a baffle. Eight, make sure the opening of the box is the correct size for the birds you want to attract. Remember before when I said there are no one size fits all birdhouses? This is where some of our new information comes in to play. Each species of bird desires a specific size hole for their house. It is very important that the hole in the house is the correct size for the species of bird you want to attract. For example, an American Kestrel needs a hole 3” in diameter, a Northern Flicker needs a hole 2 ½” in diameter, and chickadees need a hole 1 1/8” in diameter. Hole size is also important in deterring non-native birds such as European Starlings and House Sparrows. Nine, rough up the interior wall beneath the opening. Rough walls help the chicks get out when it's time to fledge. You can use course sandpaper or cut long horizontal grooves into the wood below the opening. Tenth, make sure the back is slightly extended above and below the box to give you room to easily mount it on your pole or tree. Eleventh, last but not least you want one side to be hinged so it can be opened after nesting season for easy cleaning access. Now, we know this is a lot to remember but we'll share a link in our show notes so you can look up this list later. Kiersten: That's a perfect segue way into cleaning! This is also new and different from when we used to put up those cutesy birdhouses many moons ago. Do you need to clean your nest box out in between seasons? Yes! It's very important to clean out old nesting material every year. That why we're making one of the walls hinged. Removing old nesting material makes sure bacteria and detrimental insects are not passed from one family to the next. Typically, just opening the side panel and removing any plant matter that you find inside is enough, but if you had some especially dirty tenants, using a little warm water and plant-based soap (something like Simple Green or Seventh Generation) to remove poop is a good idea. Clean out your nest box after the last fledgling has left and you don't see any activity around the box for about ten days. When cleaning remember to protect yourself, as well. Use a dust mask and gloves to prevent any zoonotic disease transfer. Cheryl: Speaking of seasonal activities, when should I put out my nest box? In the southwest have your nest box mounted and ready for visitors by mid-February. This is typically when our year-round residents begin looking for nesting sites and when our part-time residents are migrating in. You can leave your nest box up year-round once you've found the perfect spot. To prevent unwanted guests such as European Starlings, bees, wasps, or squirrels from taking up residence in the off season you can close up your house. Plug up the opening and cover the ventilation holes like you might do for a cabin you only use in the spring or summer. To prevent honey bees or wasps from colonizing the nest box spray some non-stick cooking spray on the inside of the top of the box. This makes it too slippery for the insects to climb on. When it comes time for nesting season again, open everything up and give it a quick spring cleaning. Kiersten: Where should I put my nest box? This all depends on what bird species your box is made for. Every species has a preferred habitat. To help you decide which species you may want to attract go to nestwatch.org (I'll put the link in our show notes) and they have an interactive page called Right Bird, Right House. This is so cool! You put in what region you live in and what habitat surrounds your house. I put in the Southwest and the desert and it showed me which birds are in my area, where to attach my house, and what kind of house to build or buy. It tells you everything you need to know such as when they nest, how high the box should be, which direction it should be facing, and if they are in decline in your area. Some of the birds they show for the desert southwest are the barn owl, the Bewick's wren, brown-crested flycatcher, the elf owl, and the Say's Phoebe. If you live in the White Mountains or summer in a cabin you might put up a house for the black-crested titmouse, the bridled titmouse, the mountain bluebird, or the pygmy nuthatch. Now a note of caution in the Phoenix Valley, in the severe heat that we get here you need to be extra careful with where you put up a nest box. It should be in an area that is shaded almost all day. If you don't have any area like that or you can't put up a device to add shade, you may not want to place a nest box in your yard. Cheryl: If you put up a nest box but no one seems to be moving in, be patient. It can take up to a year for a nest box to be noticed and used. If you see some interested parties that just aren't buying, maybe you've put it in the wrong place or maybe mounted it too high or too low. There could be other things wrong that we don't see but the birds do. Nest Watch from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a trouble-shooting guide for nest box landlords that you can access online. And we'll post that link in our show notes. Kiersten: One last thing about nest boxes that I didn't even think about until I did the research for this episode. The question came up as to whether birds would use a nest box to roost in the winter? I'd never even thought about that, but as we just discussed we should be closing them up outside of breeding season. So… you can actually have a roosting box for your overwintering birds! What's the difference between a nest box and a roosting box? The design of each box is vastly different. A well-designed roost box prevents the birds' body heat from escaping, so it will have fewer ventilation holes than a nest box. The entrance hole will be near the bottom of the box to prevent the rising warm air from escaping which is opposite of the nesting box. Inside the roosting box there will be several perches to allow multiple birds to roost as opposed to an open area in a nest box where a nest can be made. Staggering the perching will allow for everyone to have their own spot but still be close enough to snuggle for warmth. Roughing up the sides is a great way to encourage clinging birds such as woodpeckers or creepers to use the box. Roosting boxes are usually larger than a single-family nest box to accommodate species that huddle in the winter. Hinging the top panel allows for easy cleaning after the winter season. This could be a great option for our Phoenix Valley residents who can't use a nest box because their yards are short on shade. These are not as readily available to purchase already made, but we'll post a few links that have blueprints for making your own. Cheryl: Just like feeding birds, placing nest and roost boxes in your yard should only be done if you are willing to take the time to do it right. You must have the time and motivation to use the correct products, place it in the best place, provide predator prevention, and be willing and able to clean it properly. If this is not something you can do in your own yard, reach out to your local birding groups and see if there are any community nest projects you could help with. Schools and daycares often get students to create nest boxes and mount them near their facilities. Maybe you can offer to help them out. If you do decide to put up a nest box, consider taking the next step and joining Project Nest Watch at Cornell. This is a citizen scientist program that teachs you how to monitor nest boxes for scientific studies. The data you record watching the birds you're already watching can help further our understanding of bird behavior. Kiersten: That's Nest Boxes in a nutshell. If you're interested in putting one up in your yard please check out our show notes and use the links we've provided to get more information to help you successfully offer your backyard birds a great place to raise a family. A future note: We will be taking a break in September 2023 but we'll be back with new full-length episodes in October!

Did you know about the correlation between declining smoking rates and increasing hummus consumption? It's true—a decade ago, as American smoking rates were falling, hummus consumption began ascending, leading numerous tobacco growers to convert their fields to chickpea production instead. Hummus is also a favorite of those seeking to eat plant-based while still getting a satiating snack or meal. In fact, in the Middle East, the birthplace of hummus, it's not eaten as a dip like it is here in America, but rather hummus itself is the bulk of the meal, enjoyed literally by the bowlful as I've personally witnessed—and enjoyed—while in Israel. Some people even think that hummus may be among the key ways to unite the Middle East, where various cultures have been enjoying hummus for thousands of years. But one place where hummus hasn't been enjoyed for millenia: North America. But one Israeli company set out to change that, Sabra, which has caused an explosion of interest in hummus since it entered the market, especially since the company sold half of its shares to Pepsi. Since then, Sabra has rapidly accelerated hummus' popularity here in America. Today, Sabra sells hundreds of millions of dollars of tubs of hummus and is by far the largest player in the sector. In this interview, we chat with Sabra CEO Joey Bergstein about all things hummus, including why he thinks hummus is such a force for good in the world—including why chickpeas are the OG of regenerative crops—and how Sabra can do even better. Discussed in this episode The switch from tobacco growing to chickpea growing. NuCicer, a cool startup breeding a higher protein chickpea. Joey recommends listening to Revisionist History podcast. Long before Joey was CEO, in 2014 Sabra petitioned FDA for a standard of identity for hummus, something about which Joey says in this interview the company is no longer concerned.

He and the Sabra team are on a quest to unit and delight the world around planet positive food. Prior to joining Sabra, Bergstein led Seventh Generation as Chief Executive Officer since 2017 following successive leadership roles since he joined in 2011. Together with his team, he transformed the business through sustainability-driven product innovation, advocacy-led marketing, and deep partnership with retailers. This combination more than tripled revenue during his tenure, all while building a purpose-driven culture and pursuing the company's quest to transform the world into a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable place for the next seven generations. A graduate of University of Western Ontario's Richard Ivey School of Business, Bergstein began his career at Procter & Gamble where he held marketing leadership roles over ten years across North America and in Europe. He then took on leadership roles in the beverages industry, serving as VP beverages industry, serving as VP Global Business Development and then VP Marketing at Molson and then as Senior Vice President of Global Rum at Diageo where, Joey led a global team that doubled the rum business to over $1 billion, transforming Captain Morgan into the fastest growing premium spirit brand in the world. Joey has been recognized by CERES for his leadership addressing Climate Change receiving the 2020 CERES BICEP CEO Award and by his fellow Ivey Alumni receiving the 2020 Ivey Alumni Achievement Award. Joey and his wife, Andrea, founder of Scribblitt.com, now live in New York City.
In episode 294, Kestrel welcomes Jeff Garner, the designer behind Prophetik, to the show. A romantic visual artist, pioneer and unconventional designer, Jeff's sustainably-minded label Prophetik is focused on changing our perception of luxury. “It's interesting how everybody in their different segment of market just want to do the cheapest ingredient because they don't expect the buyer to buy it, cause it's more. So, it's this idea that if you go into a design, and just try to make it the cheapest way possible, so that you can turn around and sell it for the most money, and nobody wants to spend extra to make something better. And I'm like — where have we gone in a society that we don't want to carve our stone for our patio, let's say … we don't want to carve the wood to do our door.” -Jeff This week's guest was the FIRST sustainability-focused designer I discovered that I got really excited about. Over the years, he has dressed notable stars including Fleetwood Mac, Miley Cyrus, Cheryl Crow and Taylor Swift, among others. A little background – I started a blog called Make Fashion Fair back in 2010. I had just finished my internship at People Tree in London, and was trying to find my voice in this space. My 4th blog post on February 20th, 2010, was titled – “elephants, ethics, and fashion”. It featured two creatives I was drawn to at the time – musician Trevor Hall and this week's guest. They both had this random connection to elephants and painting. Trevor Hall had a music video where he is getting painted by elephants, and this week's guest had a collection that featured prints painted by elephants. So – with that in mind, getting the chance to have this week's conversation feels very circular. In addition to continuing to challenge what fashion can look like on the runway and at a luxury level, this week's guest is also behind a new documentary series that uncovers the fashion industry's toxic secrets and highlights the importance of making and wearing nontoxic clothing.

To mark Women's History Month and International Women's Day March 8, we're bringing you a special series of the ESG Insider podcast focused on women in leadership. We'll be speaking to women CEOs and executives from across industries and around the globe. In our second interview of the series we interview Alison Whritenour, CEO of Seventh Generation, a U.S. producer of eco-friendly cleaning, paper and personal care products. Alison has been at Seventh Generation for more than a decade and became its CEO in July 2021. She describes her leadership style as "radically human" — meaning she leads with an emphasis on transparency and collaboration, and by leaning into listening to the advice and experience of her team. She also describes her decisions along her career path as based on connecting the things that she personally cares about with her day-to-day work. “I really believe that leaders are at their best when they can be themselves, and that then really opens up the door for folks around them to feel comfortable and feel like they can approach leaders with questions, challenges, opportunities,” she says. Diversity in leadership has received increasing attention in recent years from stakeholders in the sustainability world. Investors have pushed for diversity on company boards and management teams, and in some parts of the world, that push has extended to laws and regulations. But the number of women in top roles remains low. Recent research from S&P Global found that women represented just 5.4% of CEOs in 2022, slightly up from 5% in 2021. You can read that research here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/women-ceos-leadership-for-a-diverse-future We'd love to hear from you.

Not only is she part of an unheralded 7th-generation California wine family, but she is also a wine influencer to boot. Meet the effervescent Cecily Gamba from Gamba Vineyards and You had me at Bordeaux. All industries need to look to the youth to find a path. Though wine is an ancient industry, the marketing and consumption of wine looks nothing like its history might suggest. These days it takes social media, email, google, and influencer marketing. Cecily finds herself in a unique position trying to move the needle forward on selling the family wines in a contemporary way and preserving the history of the 7 generations behind the family winery. What is interesting is their farming practices and philosophy. I've been tryin' to tell ya, it has always been this way. I found her engaging, delightful, and funny. Have a listen. PK

Reinette Senum is a natural leader. She's traveled to nearly 60 countries and has an incredible ability to connect to those around her, no matter where she is or who she's speaking with. In a true one-of-a-kind feat, she crossed Alaska, alone, in the winter of 1994. The lessons she learned along the trail became the catalyst for her later community work. Since then, she's protested against corruption and greed for decades and has twice served as a city council member and mayor of her hometown of Nevada City, California. In the summer of 2020, she stepped down from her third term on the city council because she saw a higher calling for leadership at a larger scale. She's currently running for California governor with no party affiliation, deploying the first child-centric campaign in history. In this episode, Reinette discusses her plan to restore California, the dangers of mandates and governmental overreach, and the incredible details of her trek across Alaska. 08:17 — Becoming the First Woman to Cross Alaska Alone in Winter The death of Reinette's adopted mother Joining a South Pole expedition team Finding out what you're made of Dealing with doubt Coaching yourself through the impossible Nearly freezing to death Getting completely lost Accepting Mother Nature's gift 35:49 — Reinette's Political Background Being elected to city council and Mayor of Nevada City, California Co-founding the Sierra Roots homeless advocacy group From homeless shelter to homeless village 39:30 — The Politics of the Pandemic Seeing the government's response to the coronavirus The unlawfulness of statewide mandates Being put under pressure to resign Starting Reinette Senum's Chew On This Stepping down to step up What motivated Reinette to run for governor The Democrat vs. Republican scam The Seventh Generation principle Changing the system at every level of government 1:25:40 — Finishing Up Reinette's Alaska Story Finding her birth name and identity Following her family's invisible legacy The greatest military figure you've never heard of The origins of eminent domain 1:39:32 — The Blueprint for a Better California & Better World Fighting the push for 5G Focusing on regenerative farming and repairing our damaged soil Creating an education system that inspires us to think for ourselves Making a better world for the children The Foghorn Express More about this episode.
