Homelessness is complicated. Perhaps that's one of the reasons so many of us have such a hard time looking directly at the issue and the people it impacts. This week, we dive into the book, When We Walk By: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America with author and social entrepreneur Kevin Adler. We touch on such topics as relational poverty, look at the societal cost of indifference and discuss the potential for evidence-based, people-first, and community-driven solutions that make a difference. Guest Bio Kevin Adler is an award-winning social entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and author. His latest book, WHEN WE WALK BY, will be published on November 7th, 2023, and is based on his pioneering work over the past decade tackling homelessness and “relational poverty” on the streets. Since 2014, Kevin has served as the founder and CEO of MIRACLE MESSAGES, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people experiencing homelessness rebuild their social support systems and financial security, primarily through family reunifications, a phone buddy program, and basic income pilots. Kevin's work has been featured widely, including in the New York Times, Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, and in his TED Talk. Kevin is also the author of Natural Disasters as a Catalyst for Social Capital, a book that explores how shared traumas can unite or divide communities. Kevin has been honored as a Presidential Leadership Scholar, TED Resident, and Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. He received his MPhil in sociology from the University of Cambridge and his BA in politics from Occidental College. Motivated by his late mother's work teaching at underserved nursing homes, and his late uncle's 30 years living on the streets, Kevin believes in a future where everyone is seen as invaluable and interconnected.

"At that time, I didn't have words to describe what I was feeling and I felt very deviant for even questioning whether or not it was okay to have kids in the climate crisis. I didn't really see it reflected. I figured, Okay, this is probably me getting a little bit loopy here, and I ought to do something to bring more perspective into my line of view. And that started me on a research project looking at the psychological impacts of the climate crisis writ large beyond just the reproductive angle, but that was my on-ramp.””We're going to certainly have an evolving learning journey there together in our family, but it starts with engendering the kind of partnership model, like bringing our kid out into nature, allowing him to foster that sense of connection and love for natural landscapes ecosystem species, so that there's a, an interest in protective measures and usually supportive relationships to nature growing up.I think that's really important as well as listening, when he's ready to talk about it and tells me how he's feeling, be able to create space for that and attend to the emotions, if they're distressing or challenging. There are all kinds of approaches for supporting young people to deal with, you know, nervous system reactions and ways of thinking about the future to balance hope and fear that I think will be really key, but not introducing until he's ready. And not doing it too young because we don't want to unduly stress a young person who's not completed the development of their brain to think about such overwhelming problems, but we do live in a culture in which it's going to come in through osmosis at some point because we're living in it.And so being just really attentive and validating and listening and engendering a culture of action taking in our lives in our family activism. And you know, young people need to understand that there are people around them who are supporting them, who are validating how important this is, and who are working alongside them to help them navigate the future and prepare in resilience, building ways for the massive changes that are underway."Britt Wray is the author of Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis.

"I think the general waking up that I'm seeing around me in so many different parts of society, people from all walks understanding that this is here, it's not a future threat. It's active now. We need to get smart about addressing it. And there's a deep approach that... You know, we've just been through the Great Resignation with COVID where a lot of people are leaving their jobs. But similarly, a lot of people are also asking themselves how can I be of service? What can I do at this time? How am I going to be? And you know, the more climate job boards and networking communities and sites of bringing people together to do that work of figuring out how they're going to go on their climate journey while infusing it with a sense of joy, with a sense of how can we make this fun, right? How can we reshift so this is not just focusing on the negative, but really focusing on what we want to be building and what is abundant and the better life that we're working towards? All of that has been popping up a lot and that gives me an honest sense of hope.You know, I see that reflected. I see real people doing real things and changes in their life. And I feel it within myself and all of those things are just great. It's possible to have high well-being, high meaning, high engagement with things that matter, and that are purposeful, and waves of cultivating, nourishing emotions around all of those things in an increasingly turbulent world. We can do that. So even as the systems around us change. If water is becoming more scarce, let's say, or food scarcity, climate disasters ramping up, and migration crises, there are lots of things that we can do within ourselves to stretch our capacity to be caring and continue taking action for the present moment."Britt Wray is the author of Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis.

"So I have a background in conservation biology and have been a science communicator for well over a decade and a half now, and of course, doing that work you're confronted with climate, environmental reports and studies, which were a consistent part of my emotional baseline, just being aware of the fact that this is not all going well, which every now and then would make me feel low, for sure, in a way that was quite noticeable. But it became much more poignant in my life in 2017 when my partner and I started considering whether or not to have a kid, and I hadn't connected the reproductive part of life to the climate crisis. And all of a sudden this topic was the only thing I could really think about because it became such a dilemma for me personally, as to whether or not I felt comfortable having a child, given what the science says about where we're headed and what the lack of historical action means for the future of any child born to date, even one with privilege and protection from its parental outset. So that then, you know, eco-anxiety and climate anxiety and eco-grief in these terms that we now have as kind of household items that people are familiar with, that we have lots of journalism around, which has especially emerged in the last three years or so.At that time, I didn't have words to describe what I was feeling and I felt very deviant for even questioning whether or not it was okay to have kids in the climate crisis.

"Much greater investment in public transport infrastructure is enormous with about 40% of our carbon pollution in cities coming from cars and transportation. That really needs to be focused on and prioritized, and of course electrifying everything that we can, both in that sector and beyond, including in our buildings. I believe roughly 60% of our carbon pollution in cities is coming from buildings and those that are not built in smart kind of climate-secure ways. How can we shift off of natural gas and towards heat pumps that can heat and cool our homes at the same time, for instance, that are electric? These are big key questions that many people are already creating the pathways of change on that we need to find ways of strengthening and making affordable and having just the everyday homeowner and renter be able to tap into.”Britt Wray is the author of Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis.

You know, we've just been through the Great Resignation with COVID where a lot of people are leaving their jobs. But similarly, a lot of people are also asking themselves how can I be of service? What can I do at this time? How am I going to be? And you know, the more climate job boards and networking communities and sites of bringing people together to do that work of figuring out how they're going to go on their climate journey while infusing it with a sense of joy, with a sense of how can we make this fun, right? How can we reshift so this is not just focusing on the negative, but really focusing on what we want to be building and what is abundant and the better life that we're working towards? All of that has been popping up a lot and that gives me an honest sense of hope.You know, I see that reflected. I see real people doing real things and changes in their life. And I feel it within myself and all of those things are just great. It's possible to have high well-being, high meaning, high engagement with things that matter, and that are purposeful, and waves of cultivating, nourishing emotions around all of those things in an increasingly turbulent world. We can do that. So even as the systems around us change. If water is becoming more scarce, let's say, or food scarcity, climate disasters ramping up, and migration crises, there are lots of things that we can do within ourselves to stretch our capacity to be caring and continue taking action for the present moment."www.brittwray.comwww.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647141/generation-dread-by-britt-wrayhttps://greystonebooks.com/products/rise-of-the-necrofauna www.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info

That really needs to be focused on and prioritized, and of course electrifying everything that we can, both in that sector and beyond, including in our buildings. I believe roughly 60% of our carbon pollution in cities is coming from buildings and those that are not built in smart kind of climate-secure ways. How can we shift off of natural gas and towards heat pumps that can heat and cool our homes at the same time, for instance, that are electric? These are big key questions that many people are already creating the pathways of change on that we need to find ways of strengthening and making affordable and having just the everyday homeowner and renter be able to tap into.”www.brittwray.comwww.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647141/generation-dread-by-britt-wrayhttps://greystonebooks.com/products/rise-of-the-necrofauna www.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info
"In our study, we're looking at climate anxietyin 10,000 young people around the world, 16 to 25-year-olds in 10 countries across low, middle, high income settings, and 45% of the global respondents of these young people said that their climate anxiety is impairing their daily functioning. So concentrating, eating, going to school, going to work, playing, having fun, that kind of thing. They had very negative thoughts. 75% of the people around the world said that the future is frightening. 56% said that they feel humanity is doomed. And 39% said that they're hesitant to have their own kids. So, because of all that, we know - if we're talking in Nigeria, India, Philippines, Canada, UK, US, Australia, Finland, and some other countries - we're looking across really diverse scenarios in terms of the national income and what that means for their ability to adapt and respond to climate threats and also their exposure already to climate hazards and disasters that are going on.So for that global aggregate to be that high, it's pretty striking. And then when you really dig into the most affected and underserved countries on this issue, so those with lower level economies and more climate disasters, you see the distress shooting through the roof – more around 74% of the young people saying that it's impairing functioning, for instance. So it's a severe health equity issue thinking about what it means to live with the psychological impacts of the climate crisis. And then also pointing out who's deserving who needs the most attention and support at this time, rather than just kind of foisting all the attention and resources on, in this case, it would be young people in industrialized nations who are suffering as well but not at the rates of lower income nations with more climate disasters."Britt Wray is the author of Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis.

In episode 9 Dr. Durell Cooper connects with Piper Anderson to discuss leadership, entrepreneurship, and accountability. Piper Anderson is a storyteller, coach, master facilitator, and Founder of Create Forward, a social impact firm delivering experiences that advance equity and justice. In spring 2016, Anderson was awarded a TED Residency to develop an innovative storytelling project called Mass Story Lab. Mass Story Lab has traveled to more than thirteen U.S cities making the stories of people impacted by incarceration an instrument of justice. In her TED Talk, "Can Stories Create Justice?” she challenges us to throw out punitive notions of justice and imagine a justice system that builds and restores humanity. In 2018 she co-founded the Rikers Public Memory Project, an oral history project documenting the legacy of Rikers Island through the narratives of generations of New Yorkers who have experience with the penal colony.

There's a demographic that a lot of people don't know exists. That demographic is gentlemen in the inner city who are extremely intelligent, have high grades, have massive potential, want to go to college, and be super successful.Two issues are standing in the way of this demographic achieving that success. The first issue is that they don't have access to the community that will help them become that successful. And because they don't have access to that community, they also don't have access to those powerful first experiences; the second issue.A powerful first experience is doing something you'd never thought you would do for the first time in a place that you never thought you would be in for the first time.Kenneth Chabert knows firsthand how much power first experiences have.Kenneth has a passion for communicating big ideas in very little time through the use of conversational intelligence and authentic storytelling.While working at Alex and Ani, he was known as the Prezi Master, one of only twenty-five experts in the world in Prezi. After starting a consulting practice, Kenneth worked with companies such as Trek Bikes, Amgen, Amica, and Burson-Marsteller in presentation design and authentic storytelling.In 2016, Kenneth founded the Gentlemen's Retreat, which teaches inner-city youth the art of being gentlemen through the use of emotional and conversational intelligence. They experience anything and everything a Gentlemen does - from staying in mansions to eating at some of the nicest restaurants, and are led through powerful workshops that enable them to get into top colleges and universities around the country such as Brown, Cornell, and Wake Forest University. The program has recently expanded into Montana where Kenneth curated Powerful First Experiences that give the Gentlemen experiential learning opportunities while expanding their networks.Kenneth coined the term "Powerful First Experiences." These types of experiences help people develop new levels of confidence and understanding of themselves and bridges the gap between people from different environments because PFEs lead to building empathy, better storytelling, creating larger and more diverse networks, and fostering a larger view of the world.Kenneth speaks around the world about powerful first experiences. He was featured as one of the Brave ones at Leadercast, was a TED Resident during Spring 2019, spoke at HATCH, and was a presenter at Kinnernet, and is part of the Nexus Global community.In this episode, Kenneth unpacks the model of the Gentlemen's Retreat and how impactful it is for all involved.Listen to this episode and learn about:Struggling with hearing praise (4:22)Kenneth giving credit and thanks to all of his Gentlemen (G's) (5:57)How to paint a compelling story (9:52)What the Gentlemen's Retreat is all about (14:51)Being a great partner for the Gentlemen's Retreat (20:19)How Kenneth sustains and grows the Gentlemen's Retreat (25:49)What's next for Kenneth and the G's (35:19)LinksConnect with Kenneth on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kchabert/The Gentlemen's Retreat - https://www.gentlemensretreat.org

When his 4-year old daughter saw a plastic tub of cat litter in the woods, little did Jeff Kirschner realise that it would be the spark for creating Litterati - a global movement that's “crowdsource-cleaning” the planet one piece of litter at a time. Featured in National Geographic, Time Magazine, Fast Company, and USA Today, Litterati has become a shining example of how communities are using technology and data to solve our world's most complex problems. Jeff has shared the Litterati story at Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Facebook, and Uber, keynoted environmental summits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Keep America Beautiful, as well as leading schools including Stanford, MIT, and the University of Michigan.
