Podcasts about systems thinking

Are you overwhelmed not because you're doing too much, but because you're essential to everything, everywhere? In this episode, I reveal the 4 hidden signs that you're the bottleneck in your own business - and why this isn't a time management problem, it's an energetic structure problem. You'll discover why you can never actually finish your work, why delegation keeps bouncing back to you, and how to transform from being energetically essential to everything into being strategically essential to the right things. I share my personal story of working every Sunday while 8 months pregnant, and how I built systems that allowed me to take 5 months of maternity leave (twice!) without my business falling apart. If you're tired of being the person everything runs through, this episode will show you exactly how to build a business that flows instead of drains. Ready to stop being the bottleneck in your business? Book your CEO Operating Audit and discover exactly where you're essential vs. where you need systems.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaJENNIFER ZUCKERMAN & STEPHANIE KARZON(This isn't a podcast. It's a summoning.)They are not healers…They are system-sabotaging, pharmaceutically-disobedient shadow surgeonsdisguised as womenwho came not to integrate with the machine—but to lovingly dismantle it from the inside.Jennifer Zuckerman walks like she remembers the burning templesof medicine,and she's here with a torch and a playlist.White coat? Gone.Now it's tinctures, trauma maps, and prescription pad arson.She doesn't taper meds—she liberates identities wrapped in child-proof caps.She's the bridge between clinical protocol and cosmic remembrance,reminding you that healing isn't sterile—it's wild, erotic, terrifying, and sacred.She doesn't treat patients.She resurrects forgotten gods buried under a decade of SSRIs.⸻Then there's Stephanie Karzon,clinical neuropharmacologist and operational hitwoman for the new paradigm.She's the kind of woman who can turn an Excel sheetinto an occult artifact,a protocol into a prophecy,and a strategy session into a reality distortion fieldwhere logic and magic shake hands and start a band.She's part oracle, part hacker, part psychedelic systems saboteur.Her workflows breathe. Her molecules plot.She's redesigning healing itself—not to fit the system,but to make the system irrelevant.You don't hire Stephanie to fix things.You summon her when it's time to burn down the lie of “efficiency”and replace it with sacred recursion, intuitive intelligence, and bioluminescent logistics.⸻Together—Jennifer and Stephanie—aren't part of a movement.They're the rupture.The mycelial insurgents crawling beneath the hospital floorboards.The ones who plant psilocybin in your care planand call it “a necessary correction.”This isn't wellness.This is the sacred rewilding of medicine.This isn't healthcare.It's a feral uprising with a stethoscope and a serpent drum.You thought you came to listen?You came to remember.Welcome to the frontlineof the ritual reprogrammingof everything you were told healing had to be.Let's begin.https://linktr.ee/steph__k?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ef7a3580-8859-439d-b7b5-9fd55a4a11b9https://iresonatehealth.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-animaJoshua Moyer! Today's guest doesn't just make music—he summons it. From the concrete cracks of rebellion and the sacred chaos of altered states, Joshua Moyer is that rare breed: part street poet, part sonic alchemist, part underground prophet.He built the full soundtrack to my psychedelic science art challenge—played every instrument, wrote every lyric, and bled every note like a sermon on the run. Guitar riffs like back-alley prayers. Handpan rhythms that echo in the bones. This wasn't background music—it was ritual sound design for a new kind of revolution.Joshua ain't here to perform. He's here to ignite.He walks with the ones who speak in flame—those born from wound, not womb. He doesn't ask permission from the institutions. He builds temples in the ruins they left behind. His art? It's rebellion. It's remembrance. It's resistance wrapped in melody.If you're looking for safe, skip this one.If you're ready to rewire your senses and meet a man who turns suffering into symphony—welcome to the transmission.Here's Joshua Moyer.Absolutely—here's a fierce and poetic list of questions designed to pull brilliance into the open, bridging sound artistry with revolution and evolution.

Not now.If Alan Watts were here, high as heaven and laughing through eternity,he'd be standing next to Blake, eyes aflame with angels and anarchy,and Alfred North Whitehead, nodding solemnly,watching reality bend and pulse beneath the weight of unspoken truths.They'd speak of a man like Anders Beatty.Not a practitioner.A myth in motion.A survivor of the abyss who returned not to lecture —but to liberate.He didn't read about healing.He bled for it.He took the poison, met the ghosts,and came back with fire in his chest.Anders doesn't speak the language of pharma boardrooms or TED Talks.He speaks in stories, in scars, in the tremble of soul before rebirth.He is what happens when integrity survives the inferno.And now — the same forces that peddle wellness like toothpasteare circling the last true sacraments.Ibogaine — fierce, ancient, untamed —is being dragged toward the chopping block of scalability.But Anders stands as a living shield,saying: Not this one. Not this time.He's here to remind us:healing was never meant to be scalable.The sacred was never meant to be safe.And medicine was never meant to kneel to margin calls.So tonight —Forget the guidelines.

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this episode our hosts Barry O'Kane and Tandi Tuakli are joined by Ryan Atkins, the co-founder and CEO of Supercycle - a circular commerce platform that enables rental and resale natively in Shopify.Ryan explains that scaling circular business models depends on overcoming integration challenges between physical product flows (repair, refurbishment, cleaning) and digital commerce (Shopify, customer experience). In this conversation we learn that while platforms like Supercycle can provide the core technology and integration "pipes," each brand has unique requirements in logistics, customer experience, product flows, and back office systems.Ryan also discusses collaborations with specialist partners, from 3PLs that can handle circular operations to integration and professional services partners that allow brands to tailor and scale their circular offerings. Without this ecosystem of enablers, it would be impossible to support the variety of customer journeys that circular models demand. Tune in to learn more about how circularity is reshaping e-commerce, the technology driving it, and why strong partnerships are the foundation of successful circular systems!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-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/ 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

Amidst constant change, clear communication is the key to navigating uncertainty.How do you communicate with others when you're confused yourself? For Rob Siegel, leadership isn't about avoiding uncertainty, it's about embracing the clarity that ambiguity can bring."What if ambiguity is the new normal?" asks Siegel, a venture investor and lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business. From rapidly evolving AI to ratcheting geopolitical tensions, every day brings a “crisis du jour,” he says. “I may like it, I may not like it. That doesn't really matter, but I've gotta get my team through it."In his latest book, The Systems Leader: Mastering the Cross Pressures That Make or Break Today's Companies, Siegel explores how leaders today are “living in dualities,” caught between managing existing processes and adapting to emerging disruptions. “The sooner we get comfortable with [change] in the sense of ‘I don't have to like it, but I can deal with it,' then [we can] lead our teams and give them the calm to know they can get through this.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Siegel and host Matt Abrahams explore how to communicate effectively amidst constant change. From preparation strategies for spontaneous speaking to building trust through candid conversations, Siegel offers practical tips for communicating with clarity when nothing is certain but change.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Robert SiegelRob's Book: The Systems LeaderEp.35 Leading From The Hot Seat: How To Communicate Under PressureEp.37 Be Better: How Communication Catalyzes Business Transformation  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:49) - Adapting Leadership for Uncertainty (03:18) - Systems Leadership and Cross Pressures (04:40) - Communication and Context (05:26) - Framing Complex Ideas (06:21) - Innovation vs. Execution (08:11) - Leading Through Ambiguity (09:33) - Short-Term vs. Long-Term Focus (12:44) - Balancing Strength and Empathy (15:26) - Leadership with Humanity (16:42) - Engaging Students Effectively (20:00) - The Final Three Questions (23:41) - Conclusion    *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.

Frankie Berkoben joins Mike Lejeune to explore how her path from climate science to coaching unfolded. She opens up about navigating a “career wobble,” discovering she had ADHD, and how that transformed her understanding of leadership, systems thinking, and the way people show up at work. Summary This episode explores the intersection of neurodiversity and leadership. Frankie shares how her ADHD diagnosis helped her redefine success, the power of self-coaching, and why curiosity and emotional intelligence are vital for leaders who want to create truly inclusive environments. Highlights & Takeaways Frankie's transition from engineering to leadership coaching. Why ADHD can be a leadership strength. The importance of recognizing your mental wiring. How “career wobbles” lead to deeper clarity. The difference between managing and coaching. Next Steps Reflect on how your wiring affects your leadership.  Ask: What challenges energize me? What “simple” things trip me up? And how might others experience the same? Connect with Frankie on LinkedIn.

In Part 2, Mike and Frankie explore the deeper layers of effective leadership—from creating psychological safety to clarifying priorities and building trust through communication. The conversation shifts toward emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and how leaders can adapt to support diverse thinkers. Summary Frankie breaks down the role of processing styles, verbal communication, and emotional clarity in building high-performing teams. Mike brings humor and real-world reflection as they unpack what happens when leaders slow down, explain the “why,” and truly listen. Highlights & Takeaways Zooming in vs. zooming out: managing detail vs. seeing the big picture. Why clarity builds trust and trust builds buy-in. The role of rest and rhythm in sustainable leadership. Making room for different processing styles in communication. Emotional intelligence as responding vs. reacting. Next Steps Ask your team how they like to receive info. Do they need visuals? Pre-reads? Talk time? Then practice giving them just enough structure to thrive—without boxing them in. Connect with Frankie on LinkedIn.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, your hosts sit down with Desiré Mosser, a veteran instructional coach supporting over 125 virtual educators at Pasco eSchool and Vice President of BOLD (Blended Online Learning Discovery of Florida). A former brick-and-mortar science teacher turned online education leader, Desiré brings over two decades of hands-on virtual teaching experience, systems thinking, and heartfelt coaching into a conversation that dives deep into what it really takes to make virtual schools thrive—not just for students, but for teachers too.The episode explores how Desiré transitioned into virtual learning out of necessity, only to become a cornerstone of educator support in Florida's online education community. From dispelling myths about teacher isolation to building sustainable systems of care, Desiré shares stories, strategies, and moments of growth that challenge the notion that distance learning limits connection. Her experience reveals how personalized, human-centered leadership—and a dash of humor—can transform virtual teaching into a deeply rewarding career.Pain Point: Many educators—especially high-performing ones from traditional classrooms—struggle with the transition to virtual teaching. They face feelings of professional disorientation, burnout, and isolation, often exacerbated by the misconception that online teaching is less personal or impactful.Solution: Desiré combats these challenges with a highly personal, relationship-first approach to coaching and systems design. She builds trust from day one, treating teachers as whole people with lives beyond their screens. Her tools include visual boundaries for home life, proactive calendar management, and “kudos files” to keep morale high. Importantly, she systematizes this approach through a team of lead teachers who carry these same values into their smaller groups, making large-scale support both scalable and heartfelt.Action: Educators and school leaders can apply Desiré's strategies by:Building proactive onboarding that prioritizes relationship-building.Encouraging staff to design personal schedules that protect work-life balance.Modeling vulnerability and curiosity in coaching interactions.Instituting a “kudos file” system to celebrate small wins and sustain motivation.Training household members (yes, even toddlers) on virtual work boundaries.These simple but powerful actions help foster longevity, well-being, and excellence in the virtual teaching profession.

Tired of feeling like your team is stuck in a cycle of frustration and miscommunication? What if the biggest blocker in your tech career isn't your code, but your thinking?That's the core premise of Systems Thinking, and in this episode, Diana Montalion (author of “Learning Systems Thinking”) shares the practical insights and mental models to help you make that essential shift.Key topics discussed:What systems thinking is and its core principlesThe difference between linear thinking (which we need) and systems thinking (which we're missing)Why building a metaphorical “car boat” is a failure of “conceptual integrity” and how to avoid itHow to break free from a “change-my-mind” culture and improve our collaborationThe critical skill of metacognition: why you must understand your own thinking before you can influence othersPractical ways to foster collective systems thinking and bridge the gap between Product and TechUsing modeling and visual tools to create alignment and solve the right problemsHow AI's inability to handle true inference makes human systems thinking more valuable than everWhether you're a software engineer, architect, team leader, or anyone tackling complex problems, learn why your technical skills alone are not enough and how a shift in your thinking can revolutionize your work and career.  Timestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:23) Career Turning Points(00:04:35) Writing Learning Systems Thinking(00:08:53) Definition of Systems Thinking(00:13:39) Systems Thinking vs Linear Thinking(00:19:31) Definition of System(O0:24:13) Conceptual Integrity(00:30:02) Practices to Improve Our Systems Thinking(00:36:21) Metacognition and Self-Awareness(00:44:42) Practices to Improve Our Collective Systems Thinking(00:53:04) Collaboration with Consent(00:55:29) The Importance of Modeling(01:02:20) AI Usage and System Thinking(01:11:04) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Diana Montalion's BioDiana Montalion is a systems architect, learning facilitator, and founder of Mentrix Group, with over 20 years of experience delivering transformative software initiatives for organizations like Stanford, The Gates Foundation, The Economist, and The Wikimedia Foundation.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaSabba NazhandListen up, beautiful strangers and corporate pilgrims, because this ain't your TED Talk and it sure as hell ain't your quarterly earnings call.This is the last sermon at the bus stop—the one they told you not to listen to.The one where the preacher's barefoot, bleeding a little, laughing a lot, telling you that your KPIs are killing your soul and your ROI is just another name for fear of dying broke and unnoticed.And standing at the corner of this psychedelic crossroads is Sabba Nazhand.He's not here to scale your company.He's here to scale your consciousness.Or maybe tear it down to the studs and ask you why you built it in the first place.Sabba's not your sanitized startup hero.He's the guy smuggling soul across the borders of AI, startups, and altered states—wearing the dust of Burning Man on his face, carrying the ghost of a blood transfusion in his veins, and whispering heresies into the ear of anyone still awake in this zombie economy.From the blood-soaked streets of Tehran to the glass temples of Silicon Valley, Sabba's been playing both sides—tech and mystic, mentor and madman, capitalist and cosmic fool. He's led teams, advised startups, burned through playbooks, and emerged on the other side with only one message:“If you're still measuring success in metrics, you're already dead.”This ain't about products.This is about prophets.This is about dismantling the assembly line of your life, and replacing it with a playground of the possible.This is about ROI becoming R.O.I.—Return On Inner-fucking-anarchy.So light a match, kiss your five-year plan goodbye, and let Sabba take you somewhere your HR department doesn't have a policy for.This is the conversation at the end of the world.And you're late for the bus.http://linkedin.com/in/sabbanazhandhttps://www.joinsafar.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

It's graduation season here at Stanford and students are getting ready to collect their diplomas and take their education out into the real world. A couple years ago, we sat down with Tina Seelig, a professor in our Management Science and Engineering department who's done a lot of research on how we can teach skills including imagination, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship — all things that can come in handy when you're setting out to make a positive contribution to the world. We're re-running this episode today, so whether you're a new grad trying to figure out your next steps, or someone simply looking for a solution to a big challenge, we hope you'll tune in again and be inspired. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode. Please introduce yourself, let us know where you're listening from, and share your question.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaAlex DetmeringTonight, we do not summon a guest—we invoke a storm, a feral force birthed at the crossroads where Blake's mad visions meet Watts' cosmic riddles,and the ferryman waits with a crooked grin, oar dripping with psychedelic fire.Alex Detmering is the alchemist who turns market logic into molten rebellion,who feeds fried locusts to his insatiable hunger for truth,and tears through the polite fabric of civilization like a wolf at the throat of empire.He doesn't just strategize—he conjures sacred chaos,crafting exquisite designs in the shadows of collapsing pyramids,while whispering Shakespeare's ghosts into the ears of gods and madmen alike.His mind is a battleground where character dissolves into myth,where every word is a lightning bolt aimed at the heart of the mundane,shattering the glass temple of conformity with a grin sharp enough to draw blood.Alex stands at the edge of reason and madness,where the Upanishads bleed into the wild hymns of the night,and Rumi's spinning dance becomes a war danceto unmake the dead world and birth a new dawn soaked in fire and blood.He is the fierce ferryman rowing us through the psychedelic abyss,where intellect and intuition collide in savage harmony—where every whiteboard is a battlefield, every idea a weapon forged in truth's flame.So brace yourself. Tonight's journey is not for the faint.We're stepping through the rupture,into a tempest where thought becomes thunder and silence screams.Alex Detmering isn't just your guide—he's the rebellion incarnate, the sacred wildfire burning down the old worldso the new can rise from its ashes, screaming and free.http://alexdetmering.com/http://linkedin.com/in/alex-detmering 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

How do we let go of the sense of scarcity, separation and powerlessness that defines the ways we live, care and do business together? How can we best equip our young people for the world that is coming - which is so, so different from the future we grew up believing was possible? This week's guest, Jennifer Brandsberg-Engelmann is an educator, regenerative - and I would say renegade - economist who is Project Lead at the Regenerative Economics for Secondary Schools and Lead Author of the online textbook of the same name. Jennifer has taught economics for nearly thirty years, but as you'll hear, the Global Financial Crash led her to rethink the rules and structures of the system and now she's one of the world's leading thinkers on Regenerative Economics - how we can refocus away from business, markets and the structures of neoliberalism towards ways of being that are grounded in reciprocity, respect and responsibility, in the realities of being human in the twenty-first century.  In 2023, Jennifer stopped working as a teacher and is now focused full time on shifting the paradigm in the education system and beyond, moving us away from the toxic mindset of scarcity, competition and the rise of oligopolies, towards an understanding of our place as integral nodes in the web of life. Her new two year curriculum is one of the most ambitious I've ever seen. It builds a solid, damning critique of the old paradigm and offers credible, structured routes through to a new one that would allow us all to flourish within a thriving ecosystem, to have not just an economy, but a way of being that is predicated in reciprocity, care, sharing and the kinds of lives we yearn to lead, but don't yet know how.Truly, this is evolutionary and if we can spread these ideas far enough, wide enough and root them deep enough in all that we are and do, I genuinely believe this is at least part of the key to the continuation of complex life on earth. Because, yes, we are that close to extinction. And yes, there is still time to veer from the cliff's edge.So if you do nothing else this week, please share this conversation and the links within it to anyone and everyone you know who cares about shifting the paradigm - or even is involved in the education system at any level.  Enjoy.Jennifer on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-brandsberg-engelmann/Regen Economics on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/regenerative-economics-for-secondary-schools/Regenerative Economics for Secondary Schools - Project website (including online textbook with a creative commons license). 5/7 topics have been published + a Topic on systems thinking. https://www.regenerativeeconomics.earth/homeReimagining Economics: Five Transformative Shifts for Secondary Schools (Version for England) - A discussion paper to help curriculum authorities consider key changes to economics curricula. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R8e3wRmHYzqPl0Mfvv34oHv610F2RH8xveQ79xoZzYs/Regen Economics online Textbook https://www.regenerativeeconomics.earth/regenerative-economics-textbook/about-the-bookRegen Economics Open Letter on D.E.A.L https://doughnuteconomics.org/stories/open-letter-for-a-course-in-regenerative-economicsDoughnut Economics book https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Kate-Raworth/Doughnut-Economics--Seven-Ways-to-Think-Like-a-21st-Century-Economist/21739630Teach the Future - Curriculum for a Changing Climate (Track Changes) ProjectWhere the Regenerative Economics for Secondary Schools got its starthttps://www.teachthefuture.uk/tracked-changes-projectHow captured economics stole our climate — and how we can reclaim it (Part 4/4)Katy Shields' article in Medium with a brilliant causal loop diagram showing the reinforcing feedback loops that prevent change in the economics disciplinehttps://medium.com/@katyrshields/how-captured-economics-stole-our-climate-and-how-we-can-reclaim-it-part-4-4-6de66f5255afKaty is also the co-producer of the Tipping Point podcast, a true-crime style podcast about the Limits to Growth report and how it was undermined by economists https://tippingpoint-podcast.com/David Bollier, the expert support for Topic 2: Commons, recently released the second edition of his book Think Like a Commonerhttps://thinklikeacommoner.com/What we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaVoyage of Initiation 2GEORGE:I'm George Monty—a voice from the borderlands,where psyche meets spirit and the ego dissolves into symbol.I've wandered the architecture of dream and shadow,not to escape—but to retrieve the gold buried in grief.I do not guide—I provoke.I am not here to teach—I am here to remind.That your suffering is a cipher,your madness—a map.And somewhere in the ruins of reason,your soul is still whispering.JESSICA:And walking beside me is Jessica Tracy—a soul-listener,a witness to the sacred unraveling.She stands at the threshold of grief and grace,where trauma is not a diagnosis,but a doorway to deeper knowing.Jessica has walked with death,and returned with the scent of the eternal on her skin.She holds space the way a tree holds lightning—still, rooted, radiant.Not to fix, not to save,but to remember what the soul has always known.TOGETHER:This is The Voyage of Initiation—a ritual of return.A remembering of the soul's paththrough psyche, symbol, shadow, and star.Here, we do not numb the ache.We kneel beside it,until it speaks.Absolutely. Below is a set of talking points for Voyage of Initiation — designed to be not only unique and powerful but esoteric, unforgettable, mythopoetic, and soul-resonant. These are more than conversation starters; they're portals to profound dialogue. Each one is a point of initiation itself, inviting guests and audiences alike to walk through the fire.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

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaDr. Deborah C. Mash is not just a scientist.She is the space between the question and the cureA translator between the language of neurons and the speech of the sacred.For more than two decades, with the full force of the National Institute on Drug Abuse behind her, she walked a razor's edge—between chemistry and ceremony, between the morgue and the miracle.Emeritus Professor of Neurology and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Miami.But more importantly:One of the first to say what no one else dared—that ibogaine, this strange plant from the equator of myth, could be the key not just to breaking addiction…but to restoring the human story.In 1993, while most of medicine still clung to the pharmaceutical dream,she brought ibogaine to the FDA and said,“This belongs in the light.”Then spent nearly a decade in St. Kitts, not on sabbatical, but in spiritual triage—guiding the desperate, the forgotten, the reborn.She discovered noribogaine, the hidden messenger,the afterglow chemical of change,the note behind the note.And now, as CEO and co-founder of DemeRx,she's leading the charge to bring this ancient medicine into the future—not as folklore, but as evidence-based deliverance.Alan Watts told us that “You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”Dr. Mash built the microscope to prove it.This isn't medicine.It's myth rewritten in peer-reviewed journals.This isn't just pharmacology.It's the soft thunder of redemption under a lab coat.So lean in close.Because when Deborah speaks,you don't just hear data—you feel the flame of a woman who walked into the darkand returned with the map.Deborah C.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaSadie KaufmanShe was supposed to be a lawyer. Columbia-trained. Ivy-polished. Ready to argue in courtrooms built on marble and legacy. But life had other plans—plans scribbled in blood sugar charts, sleepless nights, and biochemical chaos. Her body became the battleground where Western medicine failed and ancient wisdom took root.When Sadie Kaufman was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and hormone dysfunction in her twenties, she didn't just seek help—she declared war. A rebel in a vegan womb, raised by health-conscious parents, she realized the system had fed her dogma without discernment. So she left the script behind and wrote her own—in blood, sweat, microbes, and metabolic fire.From 2000 to 2006, she dove headfirst into the molecular river. Studying microbiology and advanced biochemistry at Columbia by day, decoding her own internal wilderness by night. She read her body like a sacred codex, one test tube at a time. She began crafting what would become a revolutionary framework—The Sadie Kaufman Method—a roadmap for reclaiming sovereignty over your cells.By 2010, after training in metabolic nutrition and transformational coaching, Sadie opened her practice—and word spread like wildfire through hushed whispers and long-distance referrals. Now, her clients span continents, cultures, and belief systems, drawn to her unique fusion of science, spirit, and no-BS truth-telling.She doesn't promise you easy answers. She gives you tools. Data. Grit. And the audacity to trust your body like it's your oracle.This is not nutrition as trend. This is medicine as myth reborn. This is Sadie—a biochemical priestess in a lab coat with dirt on her boots and a machete in her hand, cutting through the jungle of misinformation to lead you back to the temple of your own metabolism.Please welcome the warrior scientist, the rural alchemist, the woman who turned her diagnosis into a revolution—Sadie Kaufman.SadieKaufmanMethodhttps://www.instagram.com/sadiekaufmanmethod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== 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-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!

Why is the model of a Nobel prize winner not necessarily good science? What is “good” modelling? Is access to information enough to change a system behavior? This episode is the second part of a long interview with Laetitia Bornes, a Doctor in Human-Computer Interaction, Systems Engineering and Systemic Design who is one of the co-authors of a research paper investigating the claims made by the second hand digital platform Vinted about the avoided carbon emissions thanks to its operations. As presented in the first part, their findings were surprising, enlightening for the IT sector and nuanced! In this second part, Gaël Duez and Laetitia Bornes moved away from the Vinted use case and discussed modelling, the scientific method and Systems Thinking in general. You can enjoy this discussion without having listened to the first episode however we would suggest you do so to enjoy all the references, especially to the Vinted study. Among the topics covered in this second part are: - An impressive transparency exercise about the limit of the model used for the Vinted use case, - Why models are “wrong” and how to still use them purposefully, - Why a Nobel prize modeling in his lab without publishing isn't doing science (yet), - Access to information and its connection to the four main categories of leverage points, - The concept of protopia, And much more! ❤️ Subscribe, follow, like, ... stay connected the way you want to never miss an episode, twice a month, on Tuesday!

In this episode, Joshua Wöhle, co-founder and CEO of Mindstone, joins us to explore how organizations—and individuals—can move beyond basic AI automation to truly augment their thinking and workflows. Joshua shares his personal systems for spotting high-leverage automation opportunities, including his weekly rituals that keep him ahead in the fast-evolving AI landscape.We dive into how Joshua uses AI as a thinking partner, from critiquing sales emails to shaping company strategy—illustrating that AI isn't just about doing things faster, but about doing them better. He breaks down the concept of the utility threshold, explains why iteration is key to unlocking AI's value, and reveals how non-technical teams can build bespoke internal tools without writing a single line of code.The conversation also highlights why HR—not IT—is the real power player in driving AI adoption, and how the shift from traditional SaaS to custom-built solutions is reshaping the future of work. Plus, Joshua reflects on his entrepreneurial journey—from scaling a 200-person company to running a lean, AI-augmented team at Mindstone.Whether you're curious about turning AI into your strategic ally, or wondering how to help your organization embrace AI beyond the buzzwords, this episode is packed with practical insights, mindset shifts, and a glimpse into what's next in AI-powered productivity.Key Takeaways:AI's Real Value: Augmentation Over Automation — Joshua explains why the biggest win with AI isn't cutting tasks—it's using AI to amplify your thinking. If you're only automating, you're missing out on AI as a creative and strategic partner.Crack the Code on the "Utility Threshold" — AI should save you time or improve outcomes. If it doesn't, you haven't hit the utility threshold yet. Joshua shares how to spot when AI becomes truly useful—and how small tweaks can unlock massive gains.Why You Should Build, Not Buy (No Coding Needed) — Forget pricey SaaS tools. Joshua reveals how anyone—yes, even non-tech teams—can quickly build custom AI solutions that fit their workflow, saving time, money, and boosting flexibility.HR: The Unexpected Hero of AI Adoption — It's not your CTO driving AI success—it's HR. Joshua makes the case for why empowering people, not just deploying tech, is key to creating AI-augmented teams that thrive in the future of work.LinkedIn: Joshua Wöhle | LinkedInMindstone: Mindstone - Empower Your Team with Practical AI Skills00:00 Introduction to Joshua Wöhle and Mindstone01:10 Personal Practices for Automation02:35 Early Wins in AI Automation11:23 Levels of AI Proficiency14:59 Utility Threshold in AI24:51 AI in Organizational Structures33:21 Introduction to the Early Space and AI Integration33:45 Joshua's Entrepreneurial Journey and AI Augmentation34:37 Challenges and Breakthroughs with AI35:32 The Evolution of Building with Generative AI37:56 The Future of SaaS and Internal Development40:34 Practical Examples of AI Implementation50:14 The Importance of Iteration and High-Value Tasks54:56 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections

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. We specialise in technology and software development for Circular Economy minded purpose-driven businesses.

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
