Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaRev. Dr. Jessica Rochester: In an age where plant medicines are paraded like commoditiesand sacred sacraments are filtered through the sterile lens of profit and protocol,there stands a bridge—woven not from theory,but from decades of devotion,grit, and grace.Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester is that bridge.Madrinha. President. Torchbearer.Founder of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime Church she brought into being in 1997—not as a rebellion,but as a restoration of sacred memoryto the North.A transpersonal counselor forged in the crucibles of Assagioli and Grof,she speaks the languages of the soul and the somatic,guiding seekers not around, but through the sacred fire of self-confrontation.She walked the bureaucratic labyrinth from 2000 to 2017,securing a Section 56 Exemption—not for fame,but to protect the sacrament of Santo Daime from the cold fists of the state.She is an ordained Interfaith Minister,a Doctor of Divinity,and an author whose two-volume opus—Ayahuasca Awakening—is less a book and more a mapfor those ready to take off their masksand meet the jaguar within.For over four decades she has led workshops,held private practice,stood at the crossroads of consciousness and culture,teaching not how to escape,but how to embodythe radical act of spiritual adulthood.And today,while the psychedelic renaissance sells peak experiences,Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester whispers of something older,quieter,stronger—The long walk home.The humble medicine of self-care,self-mastery,and sacred discipline.So if you came for a keynote speaker,step aside.If you came for a true guidebetween the seen and unseen,prepare your heart.Because the Madrinha is not here to entertain you.She is here to remind you who you werebefore the world told you who to be.⸻https://www.revdrjessicarochester.com/https://psychedelicscene.com/2024/06/20/entheogens-psychedelics-nosc-and-the-search-for-wholeness/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaAsha Caravelli: The Flame Before the AlgorithmsWhile the West holds its ceremonies in PowerPoints,and titrates trauma like a spreadsheet balancing the soul,there are still those who remember—not from books,but from bone.Asha Caravelli is not the psychedelic circus.She is not the TED Talk trip report,not the neon-lit ego death sold for $999 with a weekend certification.No.She is older than the algorithms.Wiser than the wellness branding.A living prayer whispered across lifetimes.For over 14 years, she has sat at the feet of Iboga—not as a technician,but as a servant.Not as a biohacker,but as a torchbearer.In a lineage where silence is sacred and ceremony is not content,Asha holds space like the earth holds grief:with gravity, stillness, and infinite patience.She is a Life, Death and Transition Doula—formally trained, yes,but forged by fire—the kind of fire that only the liminal brings.She doesn't guide you to “optimize” yourself—She walks you to the edgewhere you must lay your false self downand greet the holy terror of who you really are.Daughter of Ross and Paula.Mother to Delani and Roco.Grandmother to Leon Emiliano.This is not a résumé.This is a lineage of Love.And while the psychedelic renaissance obsesses over protocols,Asha cooks.She listens.She prays with her hands in the soiland heals not through dogma,but through dinner.Because the most sacred thingis not found in a quantified molecule.It's in the way she prepares fresh food with Love—like a Eucharist only the initiated can taste.So, if you came for dopamine,keep scrolling.If you came for Truth,stay seated.Because what Asha carries cannot be tweeted,cannot be taught in a three-day course—It can only be transmittedfrom the heart of someonewho has walked through the fireand come back with silence.

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!Our hosts are joined by Lucy Wishart, lecturer in Circular Economy and Sustainable Transformations at the University of Edinburgh. In this episode they explore how rental models fit into academic, practical, and social aspects of circularity.From the idea of “consumption work” (and how rental reduces it) to what makes circular systems messy by nature, this conversation is packed with insight.Lucy explains how rental plays a key role in circular economy frameworks like the Nine R's and Product-Service Systems, offering an alternative to ownership-based consumption.The discussion explores both the potential and pitfalls of rental - from shifting consumption habits to labor and logistical challenges. "There's a distinction between circularity and the circular economy. Circularity can be quite small scale and local… but the circular economy requires more than one product, more than one organisation — it's collective. It requires us to work together."This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch. We specialise in technology and software development for Circular Economy minded purpose-driven businesses. Our podcast focuses mostly on: Circular Economy, Digital Enablers, Technology, Software, Circular Solutions, Fashion & Textiles, Circular Strategies, Digital, Reuse, Circular Design, Circularity, Systems Thinking, Economics, Data, Platforms, Degrowth, Policy & Regulation, Collaboration, Materials, Supply Chain, Biological Cycles, Materials, Food Waste, Biomimicry, Construction, Modular Design, Culture & Language, Zero Waste, Digital Passports, Life Cycle Assessment, Recycling, Reverse Logistics, Materials, Sharing Economy, Manufacturing, Efficiency, Environmental Impact and much more!

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaImagine if your nervous system were a cathedral—not a machine, not a malfunctioning circuit—but a living temple sculpted by experience, memory, mystery, and motion.Today's guest, Dr. Henrietta Szutorisz, doesn't just study the brain—she listens to its prayers, decodes its confessions, and challenges its illusions.She's a neuroscientist by training, a revolutionary by nature,the founder of Objective Recovery,where data meets soul, and the tired scripts of addiction and mental health get rewritten in real time.But she's not here to give you answers.She's here to help us ask better questions.What if the root of addiction isn't a disease, but a forgotten ritual?What if trauma isn't something to erase, but to reweave?What if the brain isn't a hard drive, but a symphony—and psychedelics are simply tuning forks for forgotten frequencies?Henrietta sits at the crossroads:between serotonin and soul, dopamine and destiny,neuroplasticity and the myth of the fixed self.She dares to say that maybe—just maybe—the mechanism of action is a mirage,and we are the experiment we've been waiting for.So today, we're not talking about “fixing” people.We're talking about remembering.We're talking about sacred biology.We're talking about the fire of consciousness waking up in the folds of the cortex.This is Alan Watts in a lab coat.Whitehead whispering through neurotransmitters.Burning Man in a Petri dish.And this conversation—this unfolding, this inquiry—is for those who still believe the map is not the territory,and that healing is not a protocol,but a pilgrimage.Welcome to the place where science stops performing,and starts dancing.Let's begin.https://www.objectiverecovery.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaJacob TellLadies and gentlemen, wanderers and weirdos, pixelated prophets and frequency freaks — today, the veil parts and we welcome a sonic spellcaster, a cybernetic druid, a reality bender broadcasting from the other side of the firewall.He's not here to market, he's here to melt constructs. This man has toured the world selling soul with Jack Johnson, and now he's weaving ritual code into the circuitry of corporate America, transforming screens into shrines and feedback loops into fractal spirals.Jacob Tell is a media mystic. A brand bard. A chaos conductor at the intersection of commerce and cosmic consciousness. He builds platforms like ayahuasca brews — thick with intention, humming with serpents of data and rhythm, asking not for your clicks, but for your initiation.The man doesn't just disrupt — he dismembers the mundane. His new platform, Storywall, is less tech and more technoshamanic mirror — a dancefloor for your digital twin, where memory morphs in real time and each interaction is a prayer.In an era ruled by dopamine loops and doomscroll death cults, Jacob builds holy interfaces — spaces that remind us of the mythic, that connect the neural-networks of community with the blood-wired nodes of the human spirit.If Terence McKenna, Steve Jobs, and the DMT elves held a hackathon in a sacred Redwood Grove during a solar eclipse, the blueprint would look a lot like what Jacob's building.So grab your tuning forks, your vaporwave prayer beads, your legally ambiguous sacrament, and strap your soul to the signal — because this is not content, this is ceremony.This is TRUELIFE with JACOB TELL — and it's about to get… ineffable.Jacob TellAbout — District216 Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaThe Mycelium Is Moving.A few months ago, I launched something called The Psychedelic Science Art Challenge.No prizes.No promises.Just a call.I said: Submit your art if it speaks to the mystery, the meaning, the madness. I can't offer you money. I can't offer you fame. But I can offer you resonance. Connection. The possibility that someone, somewhere, will see your work and feel a pulse in their chest. The kind of pulse that says—I thought I was alone.One artist—Joshua Moyer—asked if I was accepting music.I said, “Of course.”He didn't send one song. He sent many.Each one more raw, more electric, more alive than the last.An entire album was born. Psychedelic. Soulful. Savage. Sublime.He played every instrument. Sang every note. Sculpted sound like a sacred invocation.And now…His music is the foundation, the score, the sonic bloodstream of the visual art being submitted from creators around the world.Each piece, from every artist, stitched together by sound and spirit.Like spores forming a signal.Like a symphony of the strange and sacred.This isn't a project.This is a remembering.Of what art really is.Of what artists really do.Joshua Moyer didn't just answer the call.He became the call.To the artists who are quietly remaking the world,not with capital but with consequence,not with branding but with bravery—we see you.And to those who still believe art is a product,who think a certificate can make a prophet,who mistake algorithm for altar—you have no idea what's coming.This is what it looks likewhen mycelium starts to dream.https://www.youtube.com@TheDichotomyCollectivehttps://x.com/DichotomyPsychohttps://www.instagram.com/joshuamoyerpsych/https://www.instagram.com/dichotomycollective/https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuamoyernc/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this episode, our hosts Tandi Tuakli and Barry O'Kane had a fascinating conversation with Leah Pollen, a specialist in profitability and circular strategies within the used electronics market, particularly mobile devices. Leah shares deep insights into how the mobile phone industry's leasing and trade-in programs—especially driven by OEMs like Apple and Samsung—created what she calls “accidental circularity.” Leah also explains the business case for phone rental models, including calculations around device depreciation, residual value, repair logistics, and customer return behaviors.One of the biggest barriers Leah identifies is mindset. Many organisations are still entrenched in linear thinking—focusing on sales volume, product obsolescence, and short-term wins. She stresses the importance of redefining what product success looks like in a circular model.Our hosts and Leah draw parallels between mobile phones and other sectors like fashion, luxury goods, and homeware—discussing where circular lessons could be applied and where challenges persist due to differing value chains and consumer behaviors.This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch.

How can higher education cultivate versatile, adaptable graduates prepared to navigate the increasingly complex systems of our technological world?In this episode of Ecosystemic Futures, we engage with Dr. Lisa Kahle-Piasecki, whose expertise spans business education, workforce development, and technological innovation. The conversation explores how Heidelberg University, a 175-year-old institution with just over 1,000 students, creates Renaissance-style graduates with resilient competency portfolios through international collaboration, community problem-solving, and ethical technology integration. Dr. Kahle-Piasecki shares insights about developing students who can thrive acrossdisciplines, cultures, and career transitions while addressing complex systemic challenges.HighlightsCross-Cultural Competence: The innovative "Amigo Project" connected American and Mexican students, and quantitative research showed positive increases across all 38 measured items on the cultural self-efficacy scale. This demonstrates how structured international collaboration builds crucial business skills while enhancing students' ability to work across borders.Systems Thinking in Practice: Students applying design thinking methodologies (certified through IBM's SkillBuild platform) developed community-based solutions, including a mental health stigma reduction program for student athletes and a Lake Erie plastic reduction campaign—translating theoretical frameworks into practical interventions with measurable local impact.Technological Adaptability: Implementing the AI-powered Pitch Vantage platform provided students with instantaneous feedback on presentation elements like tone, content, and facial expressions, objectively measuring delivery effectiveness while helping them overcome social anxiety. Versatile Career Preparation: Heidelberg's approach combines professional skills with interdisciplinary exposure across its 30 majors and 32 minors, fostering the critical thinking, adaptability, and creativity necessary for graduates to navigate multiple career transitions in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.The discussion reveals how effective education today must cultivate Renaissance-style graduates with versatile competencies spanning technical knowledge, ethical reasoning, cultural intelligence, and systems thinking. Dr. Kahle-Piasecki demonstrates how educational institutions can serve as transformative hubs where students develop depth in their disciplines and the breadth of perspective necessary to connect diverse systems, preparing them to address the complex, interconnected challenges that define our future. #SystemsThinking #CrossDisciplinaryEducation #ComplexSystemNavigation #AdaptiveLearning #TechnologyEthics Guest: Dr.Lisa Kahle-Piasecki, Associate Professor of Management, Phyllis M.

Can a digital company be “carbon negative”? What should we think of these claims of “tons of carbon avoided” coming from 2nd hand platforms such as Vinted or Back Market? Dr Laetita Bornes conducted research on Vinted claims, investigating its data sources and the methodology used with her colleague David Ekchazer. Their findings were surprising, enlightening for the IT sector and nuanced! Among the ones she share with Gaël Duez in this first part of the episode were: - The pitfalls of assessing "Tech for Good" even using Life-Cycle Analysis, - The complexity of rebound effects and other indirect effects, - How to improve things as a Designer, … and as a CEO! - The need for a systemic perspective and some tools to build it, and much more! And because this conversation was so rich that it couldn't be reduced to a one hour discussion, this episode comes in 2 parts, the first one focusing on the Vinted use case and the second one where we discussed modelling, the scientific method and Systems Thinking in general. ❤️ Subscribe, follow, like, ... stay connected the way you want to never miss an episode, twice a month, on Tuesday!

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaThere are moments in our lives when the veil lifts—when the illusions fall away and what remains is truth, raw and unfiltered. It is in these moments that we are called to choose: to turn back into the shadows of familiarity, or to walk forward into the fire of awakening. Today, you're about to meet two people who have not only walked that path—but have become guides for those ready to burn away what no longer serves and to stand in the flame of their own becoming.Patrick and Michele Fishley are the founders of Soul Reflections, the world's first global online Iboga/Ibogaine community—a sanctuary for practitioners, providers, seekers, and visionaries alike. But their story isn't just digital—it's deeply spiritual, rooted in blood, bone, and ancient tradition. They are Ngangas—healers and seers—initiated into the sacred Bwiti traditions of Gabon, recognized by the elders themselves, not just for their knowledge, but for their courage, their humility, and their relentless commitment to truth.Patrick, known in the Bwiti tradition as DIBADI Mabunza Mukuku a Kandja—the warrior with the Bwete force and flames of truth from his mouth—is a Registered Nurse with over three decades of experience in Emergency Rooms, ICUs, and trauma bays. A Medical Director and lead facilitator, he has guided over 1,500 Iboga journeys with a perfect safety record. His work bridges the primal and the clinical, the ancestral and the modern.Michele, known as Yakéta—Mother of Twins, Mother of All—is a Licensed Practical Nurse and a transformational integration coach with over 18 years of acute care experience. She is a fierce and nurturing presence in the space, initiated into the sacred feminine lineages of the Nyèmbè and Mabundi traditions. Michele brings the power of the mother, the healer, and the spiritual midwife into every ceremony, retreat, and conversation.Together, Patrick and Michele have turned their lives into a living ceremony. They carry the medicine not just in their hands, but in their hearts. Through their annual pilgrimages to Gabon, they continue to deepen their commitment to the Bwiti traditions—honoring the land, the elders, and the sacred fire of Iboga.Their mission is simple yet profound: to weave ancient wisdom with modern healing, to create safe, soul-rooted spaces for transformation, and to remind us that real healing is not a transaction—it is a sacred initiation.So if you're ready to hear from two of the most grounded, experienced, and spiritually aligned voices in the Iboga space… buckle up. This conversation isn't just a discussion—it's a portal.https://soulreflections.net/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this special episode our host Barry O'Kane is joined by Charlotte Morley, CEO of thelittleloop, and Ryan Atkins, CEO of Supercycle, to discuss the ripple effects of - ongoing and very fluid - changes to US tariffs and De Minimis import rules on the circular economy in the UK, EU, and US. The conversation, which originated from a passionate exchange on LinkedIn, explores both the opportunities and challenges these potential policy changes present for circularity-focused businesses. The discussion ranges widely from there, covering everything from policy to the importance of smaller, ethical brands to circularity.We discussed how reduced ease of importing low-cost new goods could boost demand for resale and second-hand markets, potentially benefiting the circular economy. While acknowledging the long-term benefits, our guests explained that many small ethical and sustainable brands are already overwhelmed by rising costs, market saturation from fast-fashion giants like Shein and Temu, and how, potentially, additional pressure from tariffs could undermine the "feedstock" of quality products essential for a thriving circular economy.Both guests stress the importance of empathy and support for brands navigating these tough times. They discuss how circularity enablers like their own companies must make circular business models (like takeback and resale programs) as frictionless and financially viable as possible. They also touch on the slow progress of legislation and the need for government mandates and funding to truly shift the industry toward reuse, not just recycling.The conversation concludes with a call to action for both policy involvement and practical support to ensure circularity is not just a long-term goal, but a near-term strategic advantage for businesses.Tune in to learn about how there is, despite current difficulties, a sense of cautious optimism: more brands are beginning to prioritise circularity, although slowly.This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch.

Picture Gloria Steinem crossed with Indiana Jones if they were dropped into a Warhol print and handed a bullhorn.Andrew Brown is a tour guide through the simulation—part art historian, part cultural codebreaker. He'll take you from Rothko to Rage Against the Machine without missing a beat, all while interrogating who gets to shape “the canon.”And now joining the fray is the brilliant Lizzie Childress—or as the revolution knows her, Lizzie. She's a triple-threat honors student, history major, political science and museum studies double-minor, and student leader of more clubs than there are TikTok trends in a day. Lizzie's not just studying curatorial power—she's practicing it in real time, zooming in live from the exhibit space itself. She's Phi Alpha Theta meets Schoolhouse Rock meets punk rock historian.Their event? A full-on excavation of the American psyche—from Elvis to drag queens, from Barbie to TikTok backlash. This isn't just nostalgia. It's a reckoning.So if you've ever questioned the gospel of Disney, longed for the days of Blockbuster, or wondered why memes feel more powerful than newspapers—this is your show.Grab your joystick. Crack your Capri Sun. We're tearing back the curtain on who's really writing the script in American culture.

BONUS: From Waterfall to Flow—Rethinking Mental Models in Software Delivery With Henrik Mårtensson In this BONUS episode, we explore the origins and persistence of waterfall methodology in software development with management consultant Henrik Mårtensson. Based on an article where he details the history of Waterfall, Henrik explains the historical context of waterfall, challenges the mental models that keep it alive in modern organizations, and offers insights into how systems thinking can transform our approach to software delivery. This conversation is essential for anyone looking to understand why outdated methodologies persist and how to move toward more effective approaches to software development. The True Origins of Waterfall "Waterfall came from the SAGE project, the first large software project in history, where they came up with a methodology based on an economic analysis." Henrik takes us on a fascinating historical journey to uncover the true origins of waterfall methodology. Contrary to popular belief, the waterfall approach wasn't invented by Winston Royce but emerged from the SAGE project in the 1950s. Bennington published the original paper outlining this approach, while it was Bell and Tayer who later named it "waterfall" when referencing Royce's work. Henrik explains how gated process models eventually led to the formalized waterfall methodology and points out that an entire generation of methods existed between waterfall and modern Agile approaches that are often overlooked in the conversation. In this segment we refer to:  The paper titled “Production of Large Computer Programs” by Herbert D. Benington (direct PDF link) Updated and re-published in 1983 in Annals of the History of Computing ( Volume: 5, Issue: 4, Oct.-Dec. 1983) Winston Royce's paper from 1970 that erroneously is given the source of the waterfall term. Direct PDF Link. Bell and Thayer's paper “Software Requirements: Are They Really A Problem?”, that finally “baptized” the waterfall process. Direct PDF link.   Mental Models That Keep Us Stuck "Fredrik Taylor's model of work missed the concept of a system, leading us to equate busyness with productivity." The persistence of waterfall thinking stems from outdated mental models about work and productivity. Henrik highlights how Frederick Taylor's scientific management principles continue to influence software development despite missing the crucial concept of systems thinking. This leads organizations to equate busyness with productivity, as illustrated by Henrik's anecdote about 50 projects assigned to just 70 people. We explore how project management practices often enforce waterfall thinking, and why organizations tend to follow what others do rather than questioning established practices. Henrik emphasizes several critical concepts that are often overlooked: Systems thinking Deming's principles Understanding variation and statistics Psychology of work Epistemology (how we know what we know) In this segment, we refer to:  Frederik Taylor's book “The Principles of Scientific Management” The video explaining why Project Management leads to Coordination Chaos James C. Scott's book, “Seeing Like a State” Queueing theory Little's Law The Estimation Trap "The system architecture was overcomplicated, and the organizational structure followed it, creating a three-minute door unlock that required major architectural changes." Henrik shares a compelling story about a seemingly simple feature—unlocking a door—that was estimated to take three minutes but actually required significant architectural changes due to Conway's Law. This illustrates how organizational structures often mirror system architecture, creating unnecessary complexity that impacts delivery timelines. The anecdote serves as a powerful reminder of how estimation in software development is frequently disconnected from reality when we don't account for systemic constraints and architectural dependencies. In this segment, we refer to Conway's Law, the observation that explicitly called out how system architecture is so often linked to organizational structures. Moving Beyond Waterfall "Understanding queueing theory and Little's Law gives us the tools to rethink flow in software delivery." To move beyond waterfall thinking, Henrik recommends several resources and concepts that can help transform our approach to software development. By understanding queueing theory and Little's Law, teams can better manage workflow and improve delivery predictability. Henrik's article on coordination chaos highlights the importance of addressing organizational complexity, while James C. Scott's book "Seeing Like a State" provides insights into how central planning often fails in complex environments.

How do boundary zones fuel innovation breakthroughs in complex organizations?Join host Marco Annunziata as he welcomes Jaspar Roos, a member of the European Commission's OISP innovation group and founding partner of the Human and Tech Institute. With MIT credentials in AI Strategy and implementation experience with ISO56001 innovation frameworks, Jaspar examines how ecosystemic models are reshaping societal governance and network orchestration systems.This conversation explores how 80% of employees, typically outside headquarters, remain disconnected from innovation initiatives, despite organizations investing heavily in AI and digital transformation. Jaspar presents neuroscientific evidence on how the "water cooler effect" creates cognitive transformation: when employees step away from structured work environments, dopamine release facilitates relaxation, leading to the serendipitous interactions that drive breakthrough thinking.Innovation Paradox: 95% of non-tech companies investing in AI will generate no meaningful ROI despite significant expenditure Neuroscience Insight: Water cooler interactions trigger dopamine releases that neurologically prime employees for breakthrough thinking Organizational Blindspot: Top-down innovation efforts fail because 80% of frontline employees lack access to digital transformation tools Edge Systems Theory: Most disruptive innovations emerge at ecosystem boundaries where traditional operating norms converge Metrics Gap: Traditional innovation KPIs measure activity rather than impact, creating "innovation theater" without economic transformationAnalyzing case studies from his portfolio of digital innovation projects, Jaspar reveals the dialectical tension between conformity and transformation. He examines how successful organizations like Amazon implement synchronous communication protocols to overcome innovation paradoxes, while drawing parallels to the Swift financial network's transformation. This episode offers a systems-thinking approach to understanding how innovation emerges at ecosystem boundaries where traditional operating norms are being replaced with new economic engines for the digital era.Guest: Jaspar Roos, Founder and CEO of Limpid & CoHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata Desai PartnersSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.#EcosystemicFutures #SystemsThinking #InnovationScience #Futures #NeuroscienceOfCreativity

He walks them to the edge of their identity, hands them the flint, and says: “Now light it up.”For over two decades, Eric Kaufmann has been guiding CEOs, founders, and senior leaders through the crucible—helping them break down the illusions of self-importance, shed the skin of performative leadership, and step into something real… something forged in the fire of clarity, presence, and sacred responsibility.He's the author of Leadership Breakdown and The Four Virtues of a Leader—books that don't just sit pretty on a bookshelf. They initiate.Eric's work is where Zen meets the boardroom, where ancient wisdom meets modern chaos, and where the rite of leadership is not handed to you—it's earned through trials. Through courage, grit, faith, and focus.This is not about optics. This is not about quarterly gains.This is about inner revolution.The kind that echoes outward and recalibrates the system itself.So if you're ready to trade comfort for consciousness…If you're ready to drop the mask and meet the mirror…Then hold fast.Because today, we're not interviewing a guest.We're crossing a threshold.Welcome to the show… Eric Kaufmann.http://www.sagatica.comINITIATION, THRESHOLDS & THE INNER FIRE 1. “What is the price of initiation—and how does one know they've truly paid it?”(Not with money, not with time, but with something that doesn't grow back.) 2. “In your experience, what is the pattern of the soul's evolution through leadership? Is there a universal map—or must each leader carve their own labyrinth?” 3. “When a leader finally sees the mask they've been wearing… what should they do next—burn it, bury it, or bow to it?”THE EDGE BETWEEN MIND AND MYSTERY 4. “You speak about wisdom as a path—how do you distinguish wisdom from intelligence, and how do leaders learn to trust one over the other?” 5. “What role does silence play in your coaching? And how do you teach leaders to listen to the silence between their thoughts?” 6. “Have you ever had a moment where everything you taught broke down in your own life? And if so, what did you rebuild from the ashes?”THE SPIRITUAL UNDERCURRENT OF LEADERSHIP 7. “You've lived in both the corporate world and the contemplative—do you believe great leadership is ultimately a spiritual practice?” 8. “What is the difference between ambition and sacred responsibility?” 9. “Can a leader be powerful without being dangerous? Or is danger part of the initiation into presence?”THE TENSION BETWEEN EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE 10. “We live in a world obsessed with credentials and performance—yet the deepest truths seem to come from experience. What have you learned in pain, in failure, or in presence that no degree could've taught you?”THE MASTER–STUDENT ARC 11. “If I were your student, standing before you at the edge of my next initiation, what would you challenge me to surrender—and what would you demand I carry forward?” 12. “What question would you ask your younger self, the day before he first stepped into leadership?” 13. “What truth do you hold now that would've terrified the teacher you were ten years ago?”FINAL CUTS: PHILOSOPHICAL DAGGERS 14. “Is it possible to lead without identity?” 15. “If the next evolution of leadership required you to unlearn everything you know… where would you begin?” 16. “Do you believe suffering is necessary for wisdom—or just common?”The Sutra of Ouromorphosisfrom the Transcendent Upanishads of the Future Past1I am the mouth that devours myself,the tail swallowed in silence,the cycle made flesh.From wound to womb I turn again.2You who seek permanence—abandon all names.Here, in the flame that feeds upon itself,identity is ash,and ash is the seed of the sacred.3There is no arrival.There is only the spiral,folding backward and forwardthrough the bones of time,through the breath of gods you no longer remember.4The serpent is not evil.It is memory without end.It is the skin you shedin the presence of unbearable truth.5To suffer is to molt.To molt is to rememberthat you are the fire,and the hand,and the scream.6Death is a dress rehearsal.Birth is an act of amnesia.In betwe...

If you're here, it means you've felt it too—that crack in the world. That tension between what is and what could be.I'm George Monty, your host, fellow rebel, and eternal student of the symbolic and the strange. And today, you're not just listening—you're entering the rite.Jessica is a liminal being—equal parts strategist and shadow-worker. A Jungian insurgent disguised as a healthcare innovator. A weaver of archetypes, systems, and symbols, working to transmute the soulless machinery of modern life into something sacred.She's not here to fix the system—she's here to dismantle the illusion.Jessica's background is a kaleidoscope of experience: Jungian, insurance alchemist, genetic oracle, psychedelics, and myth-maker. She's walked through the corridors of industry and emerged with a map of the unconscious scrawled in the margins of bureaucracy. She's not reforming the world—she's initiating it.In this series, we're not talking treatments. We're talking transformation.This is the realm of the wounded healer, the trickster, the anima, the death of ego, and the alchemy of trauma.This is the collective unconscious whispering through systems. This is shadow integration in real time.We're going to ask the questions polite society avoids:—Is the system itself the patient?—Has the healer become the gatekeeper?—What dies when the mask of professionalism slips?—And can the soul find its way back through the psychedelic doorway?So light the incense, sharpen the sword, and put your psyche in the front seat.This isn't therapy.This is initiation.And today, we begin with Jessica Tracy.https://www.jessicathejungian.coach/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

His content is sharp, funny, thought-provoking — always tailored, never tamed.He's the guy brands call when they need voice, not volume.The strategist who finds magic in the mess.The creator who thrives under pressure and still finds time to punch up the truth.If the mainstream is a current, Kyle swims upstream — armed with vision, grit, and a knack for making something out of nothing.He's not just producing media — he's rewriting the rules.This isn't a career.It's a rebellion.And today, we're tuning in.http://linkedin.com/in/kyle-rosner-6989a385https://filmfreeway.com/KyleRosnerReality Sandwich | Evolving Consciousness Bite by Bite Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

What Happens When Organizations Run on Clarity Instead of Chaos? Most companies don't fail because of bad ideas—they fail because of bad systems. Employees drown in confusion, feedback loops break down, and leadership struggles to balance priorities. But what if there was a way to fix it? In this episode, we sit down with Garrett Delph, founder of ClarityOps, to explore the power of systems thinking in organizational design—and why clear processes and structured feedback are the unsung heroes of high-performing businesses. Highlights from the interview: 1. The Systems-Driven Organization The best organizations don't just “wing it.” They define their values, build for the long term, and create structures that align with their mission.Culture isn't what you say—it's how you operate. If leadership doesn't actively design a feedback-driven culture, one will form by default (often in ways you don't want). 2. How ClarityOps is Redefining Job Roles The Net Set 360 System transforms how companies handle job descriptions and career paths—turning outdated, misaligned roles into a searchable, structured database that provides clarity for employees and leaders alike. Why this matters: When roles aren't clear, confusion skyrockets, performance dips, and misalignment spreads like wildfire. 3. Feedback: The Lifeline of a Healthy Company Anonymous surveys only work if leadership truly listens and acts on the feedback. One-on-one interviews uncover deeper insights than quick, surface-level feedback. Companies that thrive require a culture of psychological safety—where employees feel comfortable speaking up without fear of retaliation. 4. Balancing Workloads: The Hidden Leadership Challenge One of the biggest silent killers of productivity? Leaders keep adding responsibilities without removing others. Activity maps help visualize and balance workloads, while temporary flex goals ensure shifting priorities don't become permanent overload. Regular check-ins are critical to adjust responsibilities as business needs evolve. 5. Leadership That Works: Lessons from Bill Campbell The legendary advisor to tech giants believed great leadership starts with great management. Key traits of strong managers: 1. Clear planning – No guessing games, just intentional strategy. 2. Integrity – Leading with transparency and fairness. 3. Crystal-clear communication – Setting expectations so there's no room for misalignment. Next Steps for Listeners Host regular “systems jam sessions” to find and fix friction points in your organization.Evaluate your feedback mechanisms—are you truly creating a safe space for employees to share?Audit your job descriptions and workloads to ensure they're clear, balanced, and aligned with company goals.Assess your company values—are they being operationalized in daily business, or are they just words on a wall? This conversation is a must-listen for any leader looking to build an organization that thrives on clarity, not confusion. Tune in now!  You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Learn more about Garrett Delph over Clarity Ops. You can also connect with him on LinkedIn.

That Difficult Coworker is Just a Character in Your Success Story with Tessa WestIn this episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Dr. Tessa West, Professor of Psychology at New York University and author of "Jerks at Work: Toxic Coworkers and What to Do About Them" and "Job Therapy: A Psychologist's Guide to Finding Your Most Fulfilling Job Yet." Her research reveals surprising patterns about difficult workplace relationships and career satisfaction.Episode Highlights:The five types of workplace jerks: Kiss Up/Kick Downers, Credit Stealers, Free Riders, Bulldozers, and GaslightersWhy gaslighters are the most psychologically damaging but also the rarest type of workplace jerkHow to strategically document and address problematic workplace behavior without making it personalWhy confronting office jerks alone is often the biggest mistake people makeThe surprising truth about "toxic rockstars" and whether you really have to put up with themThe five sources of career frustration: identity crisis, drifted apart, stretched too thin, runner-up, and underappreciated starWhy "follow your passion" is terrible career advice and what to focus on insteadHow to use the Working Week Audit to identify your true workplace stressorsA fresh perspective on work-life balance as psychological integration rather than time managementQuotable Moment:"We all are jerks. When we're tired, when we're stressed, when we're overwhelmed, we probably all got to know this person pretty well during the pandemic. Learn to identify what your inner jerk is and start looking for those red flags, and you'll be a better person for it." - Tessa WestLyra Lens:In this edition, Keren Wasserman, Senior Manager of Organizational Development at Lyra Health, explores how workplace jerks thrive by manipulating systems - and how understanding those systems is key to overcoming them. She highlights that when we take back our power through actions like building connections and amplifying other voices, "we not only shift the power dynamics, but also improve the quality of the work itself." Keren also connects Tessa's job-person fit framework with burnout research, offering a workplace version of the Serenity Prayer to help us recognize "our needs and what we can change about our environment.Resources:This episode of The WorkWell Podcast™ is made possible by Lyra Health, a premier global workforce mental health solution.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaINTRODUCTION: BROTHER OF THE REBELLIONToday's guest is not just a man—he's a reckoning.Miguel Torres was once a weapon in the gears of empire—military mind, corporate strategist, trained to move mountains without ever making a sound. But somewhere along the march, he heard the whisper—the sacred hum beneath the static. And he turned. Not away—but inward.Now, he stands unshackled at the crossroads of spirit and smoke, hosting The Conversation, Cannabis & Christianity Podcast—a sanctuary where the high meets the holy, and questions are lit like incense at the altar of awakening.Miguel is no preacher, but he delivers sermons with fire.No longer armed with orders—he's armed with questions that peel back the sky.This brother doesn't hand out dogma—he hands out torches.So we can burn away what's been forced upon usAnd step into what's always lived within us.As the Gospel of Thomas says:“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”Miguel is bringing it forth—raw, real, and righteous.A rebel.A guide.A spiritual arsonist with holy smoke in his lungs.Welcome to the fire, Miguel Torres.Let's make this conversation the match that starts the blaze.https://ccandcpodcast.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

He walked out of the ivory tower of medicine like a man refusing to serve poison with a smile. He saw the system for what it was — a gilded cage lined with pharmaceutical profits and wrapped in the illusion of healing. Most would've swallowed the pill, cashed the checks, and played the part. But Dr. Xanqunnes Nursingh? Nah. He chose the path of maximum resistance — truth.He didn't just leave med school — he escaped it. He burned the white coat and traded it for a keyboard, a camera, and a third eye wide open. Now, he's out here engineering prompts like spells, bending AI to his will, and conjuring visions of a future where medicine isn't a racket, it's a revolution.He's a renegade technomystic, in the age of machine gods, a glitch in the Matrix who knows that healing doesn't come in a pill bottle — it comes when you confront the lie, strip it bare, and rewrite the code.So if you came for some TED Talk TEDium, you're in the wrong damn place. But if you're ready to rip the blindfold off, challenge the sacred cows of science, and vibe with a man building a new operating system for human consciousness — grab your favorite sacrament and settle in.This is Dr. Xanqunnes Nursingh.

Could the next nanotechnology breakthrough come from a college student's laptop rather than a million-dollar lab?In this Ecosystemic Futures episode, Marco Annunziata speaks with Dr. Aaron Santos, physicist and president of DNP123 Company. Santos examines nanotechnology as complex molecular networks rather than isolated components.Santos explains why physics fundamentally changes at nanoscale, requiring new paradigms. Despite predictions in the 1990s of a trillion-dollar nanotechnology industry by 2015, the field evolved differently—with mRNA vaccines and semiconductor advances representing "hidden successes" that power other technologies without the nanotech label.The conversation details how cloud laboratories and AI tools are breaking the million-dollar equipment barrier, thereby creating a research ecosystem that was previously impossible. Santos argues that nanotechnology exemplifies emergent properties in complex systems, where the collective behavior of simple molecules creates sophisticated functions—a model future nanotechnology will follow rather than the "smart nanobots" of science fiction. This extends to broader implications for society, economics, and consciousness in a world where atomic-scale manipulation reshapes our understanding of scarcity. Highlights:Scale Physics: Surface area (L²) vs. volume (L³) scaling transforms force dominance at nanoscaleEmergent Properties: Complex protein networks outperform theoretical discrete nanobotsResearch Infrastructure: Cloud labs democratize physical experimentation Network Theory Applications: Mathematical frameworks apply across nanoscale and macroscale systems Research-to-Market Gap: Critical funding void between academic research and commercial products Santos demonstrates why network approaches now replace reductionist models across scientific domains.Guest: Dr. Aaron Santos, physicist and president of DNP123 CompanyHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata + Desai PartnersSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin Works

Zvonimir Durcevic: Context Diagramming, Helping Agile Teams See Their Complex Communication Network Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Zvonimir shares a story about a five-person team developing an important product who maintained good internal dynamics but limited their interaction with the rest of the organization. Despite delivering quality work, they were viewed as a "difficult team" by stakeholders. When Zvone joined, he conducted assessments and introduced context diagramming to map the team's relationships and dependencies. This exercise revealed the complexity of their communication network and helped the team understand that cutting off relationships with stakeholders was counterproductive. The breakthrough came when the team began using the context diagram to explain their situation to others, helping stakeholders recognize how organizational factors were affecting the team's work. Self-reflection Question: How might mapping your team's communication network reveal disconnects that are affecting your effectiveness? Featured Book of the Week: Agile Transformation by Michael Spayd Zvonimir recommends "Agile Transformation" by Michael Spayd as a resource that helped him understand how to examine systems through different lenses. The book provides multiple perspectives for gaining deeper insights into the systems we work with. Zvone particularly values the book's ability to help practitioners look beyond surface-level issues and understand underlying dynamics in organizations undergoing Agile transformations. In this section we talk about the Integral agile transformation framework. [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

How to turn latent motivation into fuel for change.If you want to be a changemaker, you'll have to convince others to join your cause. But according to Dan Heath, persuading your audience isn't about creating new motivation — it's about leveraging the motivation that's already there.“The most important fuel for any change effort is motivation,” says Heath, the number-one New York Times bestselling author of Reset: How to Change What's Not Working. Instead of struggling to persuade people to want what you want, Heath suggests finding where your goals overlap with the things they already desire. "Before you even get to persuasion, if you can just tap and unleash the energy that's already there, you've already catapulted yourself toward success,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heath and host Matt Abrahams explore how to create more compelling communication using “leverage points,” or as Heath says, “where a little bit of effort yields a disproportionate return.” Whether getting buy-in from one teammate or achieving change across an entire organization, Heath shares practical tips for turning latent motivation into an engine for change.Get more done with Grammarly.
