After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Josh Spodek shares his latest journey of becoming a New York City Auxiliary police officer during his recent appearance on "After Dark."

Dive deeper into his story and motivation in episode 781 of his podcast, “This Sustainable Life.”

If you've listened to a lot of this podcast, you've heard me walk guests through sharing their values on sustainability and acting on them.Why do they enjoy what most people consider deprivation and sacrifice?You can learn to do it. A growing team of us teach workshops in sustainability leadership. One is coming up, September 10, 2024.You can become a leader in a movement to live joyfully sustainably, to change global culture at the last minute.Here is the recommendation I quoteI would like to share with you my experience with confronting climate change head on this year. I decided to make it the year I stop my gloom and doom and to let go of my self-talk that reinforced that I am helpless to do anything. I am discovering that changing my own behavior is joyful and empowering. Deprivation and sacrifice are the OPPOSITE of how I feel about the daily journey toward habits that care for our beautiful planetary home.How did I come to this change of heart? My daughter took a class with Josh Spodek in Sustainability Leadership and I happened to be at her house while she was taking it. This led to conversations that challenged my pessimism about being able to do anything more than I was already doing. My pessimism about individual action making any difference was challenged. It fundamentally came down to “I can continue along as I am and for certain nothing will change, or I can take the reins of my part of this giant puzzle and have the chance to be a part of the solution”.A large part of my motivation came when I used an online carbon calculator to determine my “carbon footprint”. I discovered that from flying alone for the first seven months 2023 I had belched out over 10 times the amount of carbon that is considered the “sustainable limit” per person per year. This number didn't even include gasoline, natural gas, or any other modes of consuming or polluting. It literally made me cry. It also made me get serious.I took the course that my daughter had taken and found a source of support, inspiration, information, and skills that were new. One of the things about this class that I think is most powerful is that there is nothing “prescriptive” about it. There are no lists of things you should do now and things you should avoid now. No one is deciding for you or shaming you into choices. Instead, it is an inward journey of connection to one's own internal motivation that is grounded in our own experiences in nature. It is a process of continuous improvement, so I didn't decide to reduce my trash consumption and then stop when I did that. I look every day for new ways to lessen my impact, and every time I find another way I feel GREAT and motivated to figure out what's next.I am writing to invite you to take this class. Josh's model is to use conversations with each other as the foundation of connecting to our internal motivation, conversations using the Spodek Method. These conversations help build a community of people who have experienced the joy of taking self-directed action in one's own life. As with any BIG problem, the solutions require all of us. This class helps, one person at a time, to build a community of people who see themselves as part of the solution. I think you will be surprised and delighted with the empowerment you feel to take action.The Entrepreneurship StrategyContact me and sign upThe episode with Trish, who has cancer Hosted on Acast.

You've probably listened to Bruce's past three episodes, so you probably know he wants a path to exist that leads people to want to live more sustainably and spread that change to others. It would mean them overcoming their addictions. By them, I mean all of us, since if we order takeout, fly, and drive big cars, we're in the group that has to change.His experience with addicts tells him it's hard, maybe impossible. On the other hand, while people may be conflicted and may have suppressed many of our emotions around the environment, we love nature.In this episode, we hear the Spodek Method finally clicking with Bruce. One interaction with it isn't supposed to change the world itself. It creates a mindset shift, which one has to follow with continual improvement to change one person, then to spread, but here you can hear it clicking.Ideas that spread, win. Emotions too. Here is a case where the emotion kicked in with someone skeptical. It's not alone a solution, but a proof of concept. In entrepreneurial terms, the technology works. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I find this series of conversations with Bruce to be ending up excellent examples to learn advanced Spodek Method from. I think they're also engaging. I certainly enjoyed the conversations with Bruce.You can tell he believes in the vision and isn't trying to answer askew, or maybe I'm not picking up on cues, but the interaction is both not clicking but not falling apart either. If you're learning the Spodek Method from the How-To Guide or a workshop, or finished either, I think you can learn a lot from these conversations. Also, from Bruce, a lot about addiction, science, and applying them to modern life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I think I can safely say Bruce and I have formed a friendship, both professional and from similar interests, even though he's retired and I'm not a psychologist. I learn psychology to help lead. We're both intrigued by addiction. We both want to improve our environmental situation, not just give in.He likes the idea of the Spodek Method. He hopes it works beyond just one person. He's not sure it can. In this episode we start practicing it.Working with him was one of the more challenging times doing the Spodek Method. I expect that as more people learn it, these conversations with Bruce will make effective lessons in challenging cases. He wasn't trying to challenge me. So far, it just works with some personalities more smoothly than with others. Finding examples of different types lets me learn how to apply it with different people and personality types.Some types I haven't figured out. Let's see how things go with Bruce. If you're learning the Spodek Method, I think you can learn a lot from this conversation. I'd say it's advanced. On further thought, it might be me. Maybe other people would have an easy time. If so, let me know what I might be missing.Bruce's home page Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hala Widowiskowo-Sportowa "Spodek" to perła architektury modernistycznej w Polsce oraz wyjątkowy symbol miasta, który od 53 lat przyciąga fanów muzyki, sportu i rozrywki. Mimo upływu czasu hala ma bardzo duży potencjał, aby być nie tylko ikoną Katowic, ale jednym z generatorów aktywności społecznej i gospodarczej miasta. To jeden z pierwszych w skali światowej obiektów z dachem zrealizowanym w koncepcji tensegrity. Ważąca 300 ton stalowa konstrukcja kopuły połączona jest z zewnętrznym stalowym pierścieniem za pomocą 120 lin nośnych w formie prętowo-cięgnowych kratownic, na których osadzone jest pokrycie dachowe. Na opowieść o Spodku zapraszają: Ewelina Kosałka-Passia i Dariusz Schmidt.

Urge members to adopt resolution about conflict The City Hall courtroom was filled Monday night (Feb. 5) with residents asking the Beacon City Council to adopt a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza. Although Newburgh's City Council approved a cease-fire resolution on Jan. 22, the Beacon council generally does not wade into national or international politics. On Monday, several people said it should change that approach. Anything less than a cease-fire resolution "will be read by your community as an implicit support of continued violence at home and abroad," said Veekas Ashoka, who was among the protesters who interrupted the mayor and council's swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 6. As Rep. Pat Ryan, whose U.S. House district includes Beacon, spoke before the swearings-in, Ashoka and three other protesters attempted to unfurl a banner in the back of the room. City Administrator Chris White and several veterans from the Memorial Building, where the event was held, blocked the group and held the banner so it could not be opened. Ashoka on Monday took Mayor Lee Kyriacou to task for saying that the protesters made elected officials and others in attendance that day feel unsafe. The mayor "compared nonviolent protesters to political murderers because of the masks and winter jackets that they wore," Ashoka said, calling the comments "similar to Israel's multi-decade demonization of Palestinian people." Kamel Jamal, who owns Ziatun and the Beacon Bread Company, also asked the council to pass a resolution. Jamal said he was born in a refugee camp outside of Palestine and has been threatened and beaten in Beacon for his heritage, but has also rallied behind causes including Black Lives Matters and LGBTQ rights in an attempt to leave a "positive footprint" on the community. "I hope that you see what I see," he said. While a dozen people asked the council to adopt a resolution, not everyone in attendance agreed. Jacob Reckess, who said he came "in peace and for peace," asked the city not to go down "the very slippery slope of trying to get into a very complicated foreign policy." Reckess said that Palestinian and Israeli leaders had both benefited from American aid, and asked the council to think about the complex history of the region. "To suddenly say, 'We should have a cease-fire,' and not look back is complicated," he said. "I'm nervous about what a generic resolution might say." Theresa Kraft said the council would waste time and potentially taxpayer resources by engaging in the debate. "We need to put our resources into our 5 square miles," she said. "Paying the city lawyers to draft these resolutions that have no sway on world politics is just throwing money out the window." Brent Spodek, the rabbi at the Beacon Hebrew Alliance, said he has struggled with the dynamics surrounding Israel and Palestine for much of his career. He also acknowledged that a cease-fire resolution would have no impact on the situation in the Middle East. Instead, Spodek gave his phone number and invited dialogue on the local level. "I would hope that we don't simply replicate the efforts to grasp for force, to use what force we can gain, to make our voices louder and the voices of our so-called opponents quieter," he said. Following the public comments, Council Members Molly Rhodes and Paloma Wake, who has previously encouraged her colleagues to consider a resolution, asked to discuss the matter during an upcoming meeting. It is scheduled to be on the agenda for the council's workshop on Tuesday (Feb. 13), which begins at 7 p.m.

Beacon synagogue begins search for successor Brent Spodek knows that marriage isn't easy. After his wife, Alison, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2013, Spodek says he learned valuable lessons about communicating with his partner. When the couple would argue, Spodek said he found himself employing the "Beck defense." "I would basically say, 'I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?' " he said, recalling the refrain from Beck's 1994 hit. In other words, Spodek would apologize without actually taking responsibility for how his actions had impacted his wife. "I was putting my partner in the position of having to reassure me that I wasn't so bad," he said. In time, Spodek learned that the pattern was a common one that couples experience. He began taking responsibility for his woe-is-me feelings and concentrated on taking care of his relationship with his wife. Spodek, the rabbi at the Beacon Hebrew Alliance (BHA) for the past 13 years, announced last month that he will step back from the position as of July to become a full-time premarital counselor. He will transition into the role of rabbi emeritus at BHA. Spodek began working with couples in 2018, after the "emotionally intelligent communication" he'd learned while his wife recovered began showing up in his rabbinical work. He credits a bride-to-be who was a therapist with leading him to the Gottman Institute, where founders John and Julie Gottman teach a "research-based approach to relationships." The bride "told me that if there were more people doing what I was doing, then there would be fewer people showing up in her office," he recalled. Armed with that training, the counseling work that started as a side gig grew exponentially. Once Spodek steps aside this summer, he is expected to lead Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat services once a month and officiate at some "lifecycle" events, such as weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs, but his primary focus will shift to the work he calls "preventative medicine." "I'm not the guy who will come and cut your shirt off and put the paddles on your chest," he said. "I'm the guy you meet a few years earlier who suggests you start running and cut salt out of your diet. I'm able to go deep into peoples' spiritual and psychological lives. It's work that has transformed my life, and I'm excited to do it with other people." Beacon Hebrew Alliance, which was founded in 1921, plans to create a committee to search for a new rabbi, said Jesse Lunin-Pack, its president. "We have had many more people express interest than could possibly participate" in a search committee, he said. "People are excited to have an influence on the process." Lunin-Pack said he's happy to see that enthusiasm, because "we want to make sure that the full spectrum of BHA's diversity is represented in our search." For the next several months, Spodek will lead Sunday Shacharit services twice monthly. Zachary Bernstein, an intern from the Jewish Theological Seminary who filled in when Spodek was on sabbatical last year, and Luke Wygodny, the synagogue's musical director, will each lead services once a month, and other lay leaders may fill in occasionally. Lunin-Pack said there's a "rabbi-hiring season" after seminary graduations in May and June, but he's reluctant to put a timeline on the search. "It's very, very important to me that we hire the right person, not the first person," he said. For Spodek, who says that he and his family will remain active members of the congregation, the change is bittersweet. "There's a familiarity and a comfort about being in a place for a long time, and I wasn't in any hurry to give that up," he said. "But I have other things I want to contribute to the world. I'm excited to do that, but there's also a sense of loss, a sense of grief." The "other thing" that he wants to contribute is helping people learn how to deal with adversity and to forgive. Spodek noted that people often seek counseling when they're in crisis, but not so much when all i...

Gautam and I had a lovely conversation about environmental things. He's become a good friend (we talk outside our recordings). Still, listen to determine for yourself, but I'd say this conversation exhibited a minor mindset shift if any. After we talked about Gautam's experience, we spoke mostly about abstract environmental issues, not personal ones.He spoke about some difference in his views and feelings brought on by his commitment, but mostly he talked about the beauty of nature flying-distance away. I want to help people find the beauty or any value they like of nature where they are, or realize that it's possible, or worth fighting to restore if we've paved too much of it over.So it's a different conversation than usual---both friendlier between us and more abstract on his connection with the environment---though you might hear differently.

I've written about how people act like food coops don't work for people without resources like time and money or who have kids. It took me a long time to realize they didn't see food coops being started because the people starting them didn't have time or money and had kids. When my parents couldn't make ends meet, then after they divorced and struggled more to make ends meet, forming cooperative groups was their way out of poverty.Luckily nobody told them they couldn't do it! Likewise with the people behind Drew Gardens in the Bronx, Harlem Grown, my credit union, or countless other results of community organizing.I wrote about it in If you think food coops cost more or complain that some people don't have access to them, you don't know what you're talking about and are exacerbating the problem, but my mom was there. In this episode we talk about how they helped organize a group of families to save money and time to buy higher quality food. Later that group folded into Weavers Way coop, which is one of my favorite parts of my childhood. I didn't recognize it as such as a child, though. Hosted on Acast.

"jest podjara jak Spodek jest nabity" - przyznaje muzyk. Często wywołuje kontrowersje choć jak mówi "do dzisiaj nie przywykłem do tego, że jestem osobą publiczną i moje słowa mają jakaś wagę.

For the last episode of the podcast, Stacey discusses Anna's trial with her real life defense attorney, Todd Spodek. She also meets with Matt Byrne, who wrote the series finale, and who attended Anna's trial as a representative from Shondaland and Netflix.  Anna's defense attorney, Todd Spodek weighs in on the portrayal of his complex and ever evolving relationship with Anna, and on what the case meant to him personally. Anna was a difficult client at times, but she could also be profoundly charming and sweet. Todd reflects on the side of Anna he saw that he says no one else did. No one else except perhaps his good friend Jessica Pressler (Vivian's character is based on Jessica). He talks about their friendship, his thought process behind Anna's defense, what he thinks of his portrayal by Arian Moayed, and more.  Later in the episode, Matt Byrnes takes us inside the courtroom from his perspective, and reveals how the trial impacted the show's ending. The trial was still ongoing as he and the rest of the writers were scripting the series. He gets into why they chose to make it a true story, “except for all the parts that are entirely made up,” and explains what his and Shonda's intentions were behind the most crucial moments in the series and the finale.

Thanks to our wonderful listeners and followers on social media, after a grueling two months worth of polls to select this week's episode, the people have spoken and selected the legendary Katowice 2000 show as the winner! The people chose well. This show is considered the cream of the crop of the official bootlegs from the Binaural tour and was sealed with the elusive Apeman logo as a show that the band thought of fondly. This show is unique for it's era, both in story and in setlist. After playing the same arena, Spodek, the night prior in front of a sold out crowd of 8,000, the original tour route was going to bring them to Budapest, Hungary. That show was canceled for unknown reasons, leading the band to play a second night in Spodek to a crowd less than half the size as the previous night. They came onto the stage with a setlist mapped out, but after taking one look into the crowd and seeing a completely different atmosphere, they decided to make up the setlist on the fly instead. This led to a 4-song slow burn opening, some rare songs for the time spread all throughout the set, and many Binaural songs in their prime. We'll run down the entire set and gush over some of the extremely rare placement of some of their most common songs. We'll also get into a discussion about the recent premium ticket sales and how the average Pearl Jam fan is having an extremely difficult time being able to afford them at the prices offered.  Visit the Concertpedia - http://liveon4legs.com Donate to the Show - http://patreon.com/liveon4legs

“I started bringing leadership into the environment. Because I felt like there's a lot of people telling other people what to do, spreading facts and figures. But no-one really making it enjoyable. Saying you're going to like this, you're going to wish you started earlier, speaking from personal experience.” Joshua Spodek (https://joshuaspodek.com/)is a bestseller author, multiple TEDx talker and host of award winning podcast “This Sustainable Life (https://joshuaspodek.com/leadership-and-the-environment-top-downloads)”. Joshua is a huge advocate for the environment and for system change toward a post-growth planet. He takes his politics into his home life and made some incredible life transformations in his mission to living more sustainably. So, how has a move toward a meat-free life of no food packaging and no plane miles played out for our special guest on the Season 3 Premiere of PGAP? Is this a life of wilful deprivation and martyrdom? Or have these personal challenges transformed his life into one of joy and a different kind of abundance? Joshua tells all through amusing personal anecdotes coupled with an incredibly well-read and researched outlook on the world. “We have to change ourselves if we expect others to change. Being right is….really annoying.” - Joshua Spodek Welcome back to Post-Growth Australia Podcast after a brief hiatus. I for one am very honoured to be launching the Season 3 Premiere of PGAP with such as distinguished guest as Joshua Spodek. His long history in public speaking alone will ensure that your ears are serenaded for the next 60 minutes! A cursory viewing of any of his TEDx talks will prove my point: here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GMTpaxlLGg); here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTYiHr1lu10); or here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb3nwRZmKBo); You may also have noticed that PGAP has had a bit of face-lift, with an update to the graphics courtesy of Squeaky Pea designs. I hope you like the changes! Looking forward to a mammoth season 3 with a stellar array of amazing guests. The new intro sounds for Season 3 PGAP provided courteousy of Perth composer Nicholas Gardiner. Find out more here (https://www.nicholasgardiner.com/). “Growth on its own means always craving what you don't have. It means craving. It means ‘never satisfied'.” – Joshua Spodek I first discovered Joshua big time when he interviewed my colleague from Sustainable Population Australia (https://population.org.au/), Dr. Jane O'Sullivan (https://researchers.uq.edu.au/researcher/4920)on his podcast ‘This Sustainable Life. (https://joshuaspodek.com/podcast)' Jane was invited to discuss a recent discussion paper she wrote for SPA debunking the ageing population crisis myth. ‘Silver Tsunami or Silver Lining: Why we should not fear an ageing population' is available on the SPA website (https://population.org.au/discussion-papers/ageing/) and makes for very eye-opening reading. The link to the interview can be found here. (https://joshuaspodek.com/guests/jane-osullivan) ‘This Sustainable Life' is an amazing podcast series where big name guests are invited to make personal changes to their lives – for the inspiration of all! I myself have an interview coming up on the offshoot podcast series ‘This Sustainable Life: Solve For Nature (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-sustainable-life-solve-for-nature/id1550434786).' Stay tuned! _ “Efficiency in a finite world with growth leads to scarcity.” _– Joshua Spodek In the introduction to this episode I brought up how Australia is facing a urea shortage which has potentially dire consequences for our diesel and trucking industries (whould woulda thunk?) If you are interested in reading more, have a gander here (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/dec/08/what-is-urea-and-why-does-a-worldwide-shortage-threaten-australias-supply-chain). The above is just one symptom of what will soon be a much larger chain of supply chain issues and resource scarcity. Last month I shared around this article “It's Not a Supply Chain Crisis — It's a Failing Economy” (https://eand.co/its-not-a-supply-chain-crisis-it-s-a-failing-economy-b5f8aee2064c?gi=c506c568186d) on my Twitter feed just in time for the festive season! Want me to discuss limits to growth at YOUR next festive event? Pick up the phone - I'm a literal SCREAM at parties! _ “next time you're stuck in Traffic, next time you're waiting in line some place, imagine a world of 2 billion people.”_ Sustainable Population Australia, who support this podcast, aren't claiming to turn the world's numbers back to 2 billion overnight, but they are loudly advocating for an equitable world with equitable access to family planning and reproductive health services. They are also advocating to decouple population policy in Australia from the narrow interests of big business and big finance. Have a look at their ‘Let's Rethink Big Australia' (https://population.org.au/lets-rethink-big-australia/) campaign. “my swimming upstream makes it so that others feel they're swimming downstream – and then it feels like I'm swimming downstream as well.” If you loved this episode we have some choice PGAP recommendations for you. Amrit Sandhu from Season 2 'Inspired Evolution' (https://pgap.fireside.fm/inspiredevolution) episode is also a podcast host and a personal transformation coach. Meg and Patrick from Artist as Family, who premiered season 2 (https://pgap.fireside.fm/artistasfamily), live through example in their ‘neo-peasantry' homestead in Victoria, Australia.

Joshua Spodek, author of Leadership Step by Step: Becoming the Person Others Follow, talks about how people aren't born leaders but instead develop leadership skills throughout life as a result of the obstacles life throws at them. He states that every great leader has learned leadership, but “no one's born leading.” Spodek also says he treats leadership as a performance-based field and that people have to practice being good, effective leaders — much like one has to practice playing the piano or sports in order to get better. As an adjunct professor at New York University, Spodek says that academia teaches people about leadership, but no one teaches you how to become a leader. As a result, Spodek decided to tackle that niche and teach people how to become leaders. He does so by applying the ASEEP leaning method: Active, Social, Emotional, Expressive, Performance builder. He teaches “getting it” and how people can lead themselves into certain situations and be successful at being leaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Będę grał w grę! Od pamiętnego nagrania z 2011 r., które szybko stało się klasykiem Internetu, zarówno gry, jak i sami gracze, przeszli długą drogę. Gry, będące wcześniej rozrywką dla nieco młodszego pokolenia, stały się poważną i wciąż rosnącą w siłę gałęzią gospodarki, a także istotną częścią kultury. Sport elektroniczny zdobywa coraz większe grono fanów, a turnieje e-sportowe bez problemu zapełniają widzami cały katowicki Spodek. Które tytuły stały się przełomowe w ewolucji masowego postrzegania gier – z prostej rozrywki dla dzieciaków, do wciągającej dorosłych fabuły? Jak wzajemnie oddziałują na siebie gry i popkultura? A jakie w tym wszystkim jest drugie, często nam nieznane, dno gamingu? Na te i inne pytania odpowiada dr Mateusz Felczak, groznawca i kulturoznawca z Uniwersytetu SWPS. Spotkanie prowadzi Małgorzata Zmaczyńska. Cykl “Rozmowy Kulturalne” - Jak świat stał się memem? Dlaczego podcasty kryminalne cieszą się tak wielką popularnością i czy TikTok jest początkiem końca cywilizacji? Kultura niejedno ma imię i zdecydowanie żadnym z nich nie jest „nuda”. W cyklu “Rozmowy Kulturalne” realizowanym w ramach Strefy Kultur Uniwersytetu SWPS wraz z zaproszonymi gośćmi poruszamy przeróżne, ale zawsze ciekawe elementy otaczającej nas kultury. Strefa Kultur Uniwersytetu SWPS to projekt, w którym wraz z zaproszonymi gośćmi omawiamy różne elementy otaczającej nas kultury, a także przybliżamy realia, zjawiska i obyczaje obecne w innych krajach. Do udziału w tym przedsięwzięciu zaprosiliśmy ekspertów z różnych dziedzin: filologów, językoznawców, kulturoznawców, medioznawców, dziennikarzy, socjologów i politologów. Założeniem projektu jest udostępnienie rzetelnej wiedzy wszystkim zainteresowanym tą tematyką – niezależnie od czasu i miejsca, w jakim się znajdują.

I’ve taught a half-dozen people the technique I use in this podcast---the hosts of the other branches of the This Sustainable Life podcast. They started calling it The Spodek Method, so now I do too. It's enabled me to reach amazing people, many of global renown, who enjoy the experience. It doesn't alone solve all the world's problems, but it works. The Spodek Method leads a person to share and act on environmental values.You can do it too with communities you’d like to join. You would contribute to a mission of changing culture from seeing stewardship and sustainability as a burden, chore, deprivation, and sacrifice to wanting to do it based on experience, expecting joy, fun, freedom, community, connecting, meaning and value. Why Learn the Spodek Method?Before: Deprivation, Sacrifice, Burden, ChoreAfter: Joy, Freedom, Fun, Community, Connection, Meaning, PurposeIf you would like to lead your community, try it. If you’d like to grow yourself, have others do it on you.This episode presents my teaching Jonathan Hardesty The Spodek Method during our second conversation. No planning. It happened spontaneously because we had a great rapport, he loved his experience, and was interested in leading a community craving leadership on sustainability instead of being told what to do.If you want to start a podcast branch and join the family, contact me. It takes practice, but once you start, you’ll love the experience, the team, and being changing culture.Think about the people you’d like to meet most in the world. The Spodek Method enables you to lead them in a way they enjoy and invite you into your life. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Josh Spodek says this is due in part our educational system that teaches compliance at the expense of pursuing interests and passions in learning.

How much trash do you create? Professor Joshua Spodek tells Joe De Sena he had been eating packaged food with every meal of his life. One day he decided to take responsibility for his own mess. With every meal, everything we buy from stores, everything we order- we throw something away, and every item of waste you have ever “gotten rid of” still exists in some form, somewhere. Spodek calls Joe De Sena out on his own consumption - and Joe responds. Spodek, a leadership professor at NYU, has embarked on a journey to lighten his impact on the planet by creating as minimal garbage as possible. It has meant, among other things, that at the supermarket he is buying whole fruits and vegetables because everything else has packaging. The added benefit - a more healthy diet. Take responsibility for how you are participating and contributing. Are you a steward of the land and of your community? Can you implement simple tactics to improve your impact? Spartan’s, we all need to take ownership and initiative around our actions. What will you do today?!  LESSONS Be where you can effect the most change  Be a steward of the land  Be around a community that challenges you  Be resourceful and efficient to fulfill your needs  Be mindful of how much trash you create  Learn to reduce your impact on the earth  Purchase things without packaging  Adapt your tastebuds to what’s healthy and local  Be motivated by internal factors  Be an initiator  Be better & just do !   This episode of Spartan Up is brought to you by Wild Alaskan Company.

I thought about recording with parents for a while. Environmental action is personal and people keep asking me what motivates me.Well, now you'll get almost 50 years more background.Another issue with family and changing habits, lots of people talk and ask about challenges of changing others or selves within close relationships. This episode will give you my background, environmental and otherwise, how it affects our relationship, her views, and some dirty laundry.Both my mom and I think or hope you'll enjoy toward the end, where we talk past each other. We think you'll find it funny, though frustrating for us.For context and what precipitated doing this episode now: COVID-19 has led me to live in her and her husband's (my stepfather) house outside New York City. We haven't lived in such close proximity since the 80s. Understandings in some areas have increased but decreased in others.You'll hear at the end that she asks for feedback. I hope you'll give her and me feedback.For my part, I enjoyed the conversation and in a whole mother-son relationship. It's not the worst thing, but I feel misunderstood about my motivations, as you'll hear. I wonder how many people see me as someone actually depriving himself trying to make a point, not realizing I'm just sacrificing.My blog post about my mom running her first marathon: Redefining PossibilityMy telling that story for an audience See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Andrew Spodek, CEO of Postal Realty Trust, was a guest on the latest edition of the Nareit REIT Report podcast. Postal Realty Trust owns 366 post office properties across 43 states and was one of only a handful of REIT IPOs that occurred in 2019. Spodek noted that there are 32,000 postal facilities throughout the country, of which 23,000 are leased and pay about $1 billion in gross rent. Of those 23,000, 16,000 are owned individually, he said: “That’s how fragmented this market is.” As for the timing of the IPO, Spodek pointed to two key determining factors: a “generational shift” in the ownership of post office assets; and a decision by the post office to outsource its real estate services, “which is very different from what these owners are used to.” Providing owners with an ability to move their assets into institutional hands “was something we felt was very timely,” Spodek said.

What makes it so hard for most people to take initiative? Today I've got TEDx speaker, #1 bestselling author, and host of the award-winning Leadership and the Environment podcast Joshua Spodek back on the show to answer that question and more.

Let's connect: Website | Facebook | Twitter About Your Host Jim Harshaw My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here.  And I can help.  Who I Am I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them. I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

In this episode, Joshua and I dive deep on living deliberately and the extraordinary experiences that can come from self-discipline, practice and just having enough passion to take the first step. We have to be willing to embrace the mystery and unknown. Josh talks about his relationship with food and how he’s adopted a plant-based diet with no processed foods or added sugars. And guess what? He enjoys the food more than ever before, and feels great at the same time. He’s also very deliberate about buying locally and limiting packaging, or at least recycling it. Joshua’s book, Leadership Step by Step, talks about how we actually learn to become leaders. He believes anyone can be a great leader if they have the desire. But to do so, we must engage in some unorthodox learning methods. It’s about how we learn, not just what we’re learning. He talks about the importance of teaching social and emotional learning, rather than just focusing on basic intellectual growth or compliance. This was an extremely interesting and exciting interview! I hope you’ll join us for the adventure.

Do you stop and smell the roses every once in awhile ? Do you remember what a raisin really tastes like? Do you take the time to listen to what your inner monologue are really saying? Today's guest Josh Spodek has made it his job to remind leaders to do just that. Labelled by Forbes and ABC News as a “Rocket Scientist”, Josh is nothing short of a serial overachiever.

He is an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach and workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc and founder of Spodek Academy. Josh holds five Ivy League degrees, including a PhD in Astrophysics and an MBA, and studied under a Nobel Prize winner.

He now leads seminars in leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, motivation and sales at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, INSEAD (Singapore), the New York Academy of Science, and private corporations, including: UBS, EY, Deloitte, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Time Magazine, Google and many more. He also leads seminars in Leadership, Creativity, Sales, Strategy, and Motivation at Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, MIT, and INSEAD Singapore, among others. Following visits to North Korea, he lectured on North Korean strategy at Columbia University, and in South Korea and China wrote a book on the topic reviewed as “a very thought-provoking read that may totally change how you interpret the country.” If his professional achievements alone aren't enough. Josh also swam the Hudson River, did over 80,000 burpees, wrote over 2,400 blog posts, took over 250 cold showers, coined the term sidcha, and has jumped out of two airplanes. He now lives in New York City's Greenwich Village and blogs daily at www.joshuaspodek.com. In this episode, Josh and Mark discuss Josh's journey from PhD student of astrophysics to launching and failing in the business world and finally becoming a sought-after leadership coach and professor at NYU. They also experiment with some practical tools and exercises Josh uses to build the leadership muscles (for those of you hungry for tools); Finally, they explore the importance of experiential learning or project-based learning for building leadership and personal skills.

W 2011 r. między miejscowościami Solec i Pilawa na Mazowszu, jadący samochodem biznesmen zauważył dziwny obiekt unoszący się w bezruchu nad zlokalizowanym przy drodze zagajnikiem. Zjawisko trwało ułamek sekundy. W pewnym momencie „spodek” z kilkoma wybrzuszeniami na dole, zniknął w rozbłysku światła. Wszystko rozegrało się we wczesnych godzinach popołudniowych, przy ruchliwej szosie.

W 2011 r. między miejscowościami Solec i Pilawa na Mazowszu, jadący samochodem biznesmen zauważył dziwny obiekt unoszący się w bezruchu nad zlokalizowanym przy drodze zagajnikiem. Zjawisko trwało ułamek sekundy. W pewnym momencie „spodek” z kilkoma wybrzuszeniami na dole, zniknął w rozbłysku światła. Wszystko rozegrało się we wczesnych godzinach popołudniowych, przy ruchliwej szosie.

As Ahmedabad, the chief city of Gujarat state in Western India, puts itself up as a contender for World Heritage status, Howard Spodek’s lovely book, Ahmedabad: Shock City of Twentieth Century India (Indiana University Press, 2011), can only give a boost to its campaign. This book is a discrete, yet integrated, collection of narratives from Ahmedabad throughout the twentieth century. The stories trace how this city quietly and unobtrusively sent out people and ideas into the rest of India, and on occasion acted out events that were reflective of trends across the wider Indian landscape. But, as Howard emphasizes, this is also a city that despite everything has remained staunchly and proudly Gujurati, its luminaries basing their power on resources and support from the surrounding regions. Mohandas Gandhi made this industrial city his base, as did many of his followers; the mills came and went, cultural and educational institutions sprang up, and Ahmedabad itself might yet undergo a change in moniker to Karnavati. None of this affects its mediaeval monuments, and patterns of life in its gated bylanes of pols, even as they retain characteristics from long ago, yet subtly, imperceptibly, shift and change in response to changing times.. Howard’s book is a must read for an insight into century of the many that this many layered city has been in existence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
