Shawn Hey U-nity, Living From the Super-consciousness “Where Did We Go Right Before We Went Wrong?” Recently, a friend of mine fell away from a new way of life he had committed to. He fell and he fell hard. Once he decided he didn't want to keep falling, I asked him to look at what led up to his fall and ask himself what he did right. It's easy to immediately start beating ourselves up over what we did wrong. It's usually quite easy to see as well. But by looking at what we did right, we can see, “Oh, I did a lot of stuff right in order to climb up the hill of health and well being before I forgot.” When we see some of the rightness of our thinking and actions, we can move in that direction more quickly before we forget again. Perhaps then, we'll continue to remember why we got on the right path in the first place. We don't need to keep forgetting our misery in order to find it again. Remember your misery with wisdom and gratitude and then pray on how to remember what health and well being feels like. What did we do right? Did we pray differently? Did we reach out to others who seem to maintain a level of joy and wisdom? Did we reach out to others to tell them what we are thinking that could bring us down? Did we go to Church? Did we join a Twelve Step fellowship? What else did we do? Did we ever remember to have gratitude where we didn't used to? Did we say, “Thank you, God” even though we didn't understand why? Were we kind to those who didn't seem to deserve kindness? What did we do right and how will we recreate that now and expand on it? Please look into it. Even if you are already doing everything right, look into anything that might be missing. There is no good reason to miss out on our joy, and we really don't want a repeat of some of the darker days. All the Best For Today, Rev. Shawn If you think I can help you to get greater clarity, by all means reach out. 203-855-7922 or RevMrShawn@gmail.com

In this practical and inspirational book, songwriter and author David Friedman explores the idea that there are ALWAYS answers, and they often come in ways we don't expect, if only we are willing to be open to the possibilities. In 1990, David wrote the song, Help is on the Way, in response to the AIDS crisis. First sung by Nancy LaMott, it has since become the theme song for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and has helped raise millions of dollars for charitable and humanitarian causes around the world. Each chapter in the book is a line from the song, and is filled with stories, essays, anecdotes, quotations and practical advice. So whatever challenges you may be facing today, pick up this book, and know that Help is on the Way. From We Can Be Kind to Listen To My Heart, Help Is On The Way, We Live on Borrowed Time, Trust The Wind, I'll Be Here With You and hundreds more, David Friedman has written songs of inspiration, love and hope that take on new emotional meaning in these challenging times. With 5 Broadway shows, his own Off Broadway Show , 8 Disney Films, 3 television series and recordings by such artists as Diana Ross, Barry Manilow and Nancy LaMott to his credit, David has, in recent years, come to realize that his true mission in life is to help heal and enlighten people in whatever ways he can. With this in mind, David recently wrote a book entitled The Thought Exchange – A Practical Method of Moving Beyond "Positive Thinking" and spends a great deal of time traveling around the country lecturing, giving concerts and teaching Thought Exchange principles in workshops and private sessions.

This episode of The Thought Exchange is a conversation American sociologist, historian and political scientist Jack A Goldstone. Goldstone is author of 13 books and many, many research articles, with a focus on revolutions and social change. In particular, he made a key contributions in looking at the relationship between population cycles and political revolutions. Indeed, there are those who have credited Goldstone with predicting Trump and the turbulent Twenties almost 30 years ago, when he developed and published his Demographic-Structural Theory. Jack A. Goldstone is the Virginia E. and John T. Hazel Professor of Public Policy and a Senior Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Goldstone has worked all over the world, including Russia and Hong Kong, and has worked for a number of US government agencies, consulting on USAID Democracy Assistance Programs, as_well as the UN and various European governments. He has also worked at the Brookings Institute think tank and is a current fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Centre. Goldstone has worked extensively on the conditions required for building democracy and stability in developing nations. Goldstone has studied revolution and social change around the world and across time, with fascinating analyses of world-changing political events throughout modern history. In particular, his 20143 book Revolutions: A Very Short Introduction is clear and accessible, with a number of compelling but counter-intuitive conclusions. The conversation is a deep-dive into Goldstone's thinking about the causes of revolution, what current social conditions might tell us about where we are headed and also how to ensure scientifically rigorous methodology in the social sciences.

This episode of The Thought Exchange is a conversation with guerrilla geographer and creative explorer Dan Raven-Ellison. I first met Dan 11 years ago when our sons became friends and I have followed his work with great interest ever since, as he has developed a series of fascinating projects and achieved major success in his field. Dan is a National Geographic explorer and an Ordnance Survey Get Outside Champion. He is passionate about walking through all landscapes, whether rural or urban. He has walked across London, Mumbai, Mexico City and Guatemala City, aswell as through all of the UK's National Parks and many other places across the UK and internationally. Dan credits his freedom to roam in childhood as the foundation of his passion for being and exploring outdoors, preferring the slower experience of walking to the speed of cars, trains and bikes which is how the majority of people interact with the geography of our developed world. Dan focuses on projects which disrupt the ways in which we relate to the landscapes we encounter. Walking through all 15 of the UK's national parks inspired Dan to campaign for a declaration of London as the world's first National Park City, which he achieved in July 2019 with the support of thousands, including Mayor Sadiq Khan. He has recorded the use of land in the UK and Netherlands with a series of 100 second long films where each second relates to 1% of the land use. Dan is a radical and progressive thinker, with core values which include trying to encourage others, especially children and young people, to share his love of being outside and exploring. A brilliant speaker and an engaging teacher, he is a true pioneer who changes the way people think about the world around them Support this podcast

In episode seventeen of Talking To The Dead In Suburbia, host Anna Raimondi – spiritual medium, motivational speaker, healer, and author – interviews composer, songwriter, and author David Friedman. They cover a number of topics including manifestation, stage fright, living with sensation (as discussed in David's book, The Thought Exchange), and the process of opening up to divine inspiration. “I don't know how to write a song. I open... and generally a song writes me because I need to hear it.” - David Friedman Connect with Anna Raimondi: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna.raimondi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/annalraim/ Website: https://www.annaraimondi.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/annaraimondi Connect with David Friedman: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thethoughtexchange Website: https://www.thethoughtexchange.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/NewThoughtExchange Email: Davidfriedmancomposer@gmail.com Connect with The Angel Cooperative: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelcooperative/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AngelCooperative Website: https://theangelcoop.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theangelcooperative About this week's guest: From We Can Be Kind to Listen To My Heart, Help Is On The Way, We Live on Borrowed Time, Trust The Wind, I'll Be Here With You and hundreds more, David Friedman has written songs of inspiration, love and hope that take on new emotional meaning in these challenging times.

With this in mind, David recently wrote a book entitled The Thought Exchange - A Practical Method of Moving Beyond "Positive Thinking" and spends a great deal of time traveling around the country lecturing, giving concerts and teaching Thought Exchange principles in workshops and private sessions.

The first episode of Series Two of The Thought Exchange is a conversation with Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, an extraordinary Ugandan wildlife activist and the vet for the Uganda Wildlife Authority. She was the first person to hold that position and was appointed in in 1995 at the age of 25. The focus of Gladys's work has been with the gorillas of Bwindi Forest National Park. Just one year after being appointed an outbreak of scabies led to the death of an infant gorilla. Gladys's work on treating the gorillas and on tracking the source of the infection led to a career long interest in zoonotic illnesses, where diseases jump species. Gladys realised that all of the issues surrounding the gorillas were inter-linked and that the involvement of local communities was absolutely key in maintaining the health of both gorillas and humans. After two subsequent outbreaks of scabies amongst the Bwindi gorillas, Gladys co-founded CTPH (Conservation Through Public Health), a ground-breaking and grass-roots organisation. CTPH is a NGO and non-profit which roots its work in local communities, with a triple programme of Wildlife Conservation, Community Public Health and Alternative Livelihoods. With its Gorilla Conservation Coffee, TPH supports communities with economic activity and educates those communities to support the gorillas as a resource in terms of tourism and eco-systems. Gladys has won a number of awards and is National Geographic Explorer, but the thing which stands out for me is the way in which she works from grassroots upwards with practical and workable solutions for saving the mountain gorilla population, which has risen to just over a 1000 from around 650 when Gladys first started work at Bwindi. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka is an incredible person with a track-record of incredible success in her field. The conversation took place in October 2020 against the background of Covid-19, which had a huge impact on the Ugandan communities around the gorilla habitats. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Support this podcast

Dr. Adam Phyall, the Director of Technology and Media Services for Newton County School System in Newton, Georgia, joins us to share how his team is addressing this unusual time in education. He was recently recognized as one of the top 30 K-12 IT influencers worth a follow in 2020 according to EdTEch Magazine. Dr. Phyall shares what he believes is working well in education right now, and the positives he's seeing during this time. He also discusses the possibilities for reimagining learning---from asynchronous to synchronous learning. Every school system has its own problems and challenges, but he believes there are incredible possibilities for self-paced learning that he hopes will continue after things return to "normal." He also shares how in a regular year, both students and adults can have issues, but during a global pandemic those challenges can be exponential, which is why SEL should be an absolute priority. He reinforced the need to establish personal health checks. And he also shares how important it is for us to address inequities and ensure cultural diversity is represented throughout our schools and districts. In the show we mention Thought Exchange, a crowd sourcing platform for leaders: https://www.thoughtexchange.com/.

This episode is the final one in this first series of The Thought Exchange. I worked with Professor David Montgomery in 2018 and the single solitary day of filming with him, on a remote farm in Kansas has stayed with me ever since. It had a huge impact on me and left me astounded that anyone would farm in any way, other than the one advocated by David Montgomery. On that day, we filmed on a farm belonging to Darin Williams. Darin explained his approach to Regenerative farming, supported by the new understandings of soil and soil biomass discovered in the last twenty years by scientists such as Montgomery. It was like having the curtains opened on a bright, new world where farming could support small farmers in profit, massively reduce the impact on the environment of farming and provide a sustainable way forward, even helping to mitigate some of the impact of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is difficult to understate the importance of the work of David Montgomery and scientists like him. The underground interactions between plants, fungi and bacteria are proving to be a game-changer in our understanding of what and how we should farm, but more importantly how to do it in a sustainable way. If you care about the environment, care about rural communities and care about the planet, this is an absolutely unmissable conversation. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

This episode I sound off with Dessalen Wood who is the Chief People Officer at Thought Exchange. Dessalen and I talk about her experience working 100% remotely while leading the people experience in her organization, what keeps her up at night and how Thought Exchange can benefit your organization.

Hi - I'm Piers and this is The Thought Exchange. Welcome to the office at the bottom of the garden where I've been connecting with people all over the world to talk to them about their ideas in their work. And I'm really excited about the first episode launching on Monday the 1st of June which is with Professor Donald Johanson. Iwas incredibly privileged to travel to the Afar Desert to the site of the Lucy discovery with him in 2012 to film a series called in a fish for PBS. I hope that I can recreate some of the conversations we had around fireside in camp in the evening or on the long drives in turtle and cruises across the incredible Ethiopian landscape. I really hope I can recreate some of the atmosphere and give you a sense of that visit and those people in that time but also explore the science, the really important science that he's done over the years and his important contribution. So I hope you enjoy! Support this podcast

In this episode, Erica and Hanson discuss:Why lies spread so much more quickly than the truth.Living in an information vacuum, there’s so much information that we don’t know which to choose.How the algorithms of your browsing habits and social media know you better than you know yourself, which may motivate you even more than the stories you hear today.Creating communities with similar values. If that can’t be a whole country, can it be a state, a city, or the company you work for? Key Takeaways:Misinformation is like carbs. We are addicted to it because it’s so easy to consume and temporarily satisfying.When you’re in a state of fear and anxiety, you’re more susceptible to misinformation because you want easy answers.Stories are what set us apart from any other species as they give us our sense of identity and purpose.You need to convey something astounding, surprising, and amazing that constituents don't already know to make them stick around, and do it in a way that looks compelling enough to show that you actually mean it.  "Everybody says they want the truth. They want the facts. But you speak to the folks at Facebook as I have, and they will tell you that uniformly, the links that get the most attention are the ones that are patently false. That's what people are attracted to." —  Hanson Hosein Try out the Wordifier FREE to see if you should stop using a word, use it with caution, or use it all you want? http://www.claxonmarketing.com/wordifier/ About Hanson: Hanson Hosein is Co-Director of the Communication Leadership master’s program at the University of Washington and the President of HRH Media Group LLC  a media production and communications strategy firm that has worked with organizations such as REI, Microsoft, Tableau Software and the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

(After seeing this reading, Gloria Steinem called it, “Altogether, the strongest female story I've ever seen on Broadway -- or pretty much anywhere”); Money Talks, a four-character musical that follows the path of a $100 bill as it passes from person to person, with Benjamin Franklin playing the $100 bill, was presented at the Davenport Theatre last year; and Lincoln in Love, a musical about Abe Lincoln's early years, was presented at Goodspeed. David's Christmas Oratorio, King Island Christmas, written with Deborah Brevoort, has had over 50 productions around the world. David is also a best-selling author with 5 books including We Can Be Kind - Healing Our World One Kindness at a Time, based on his song of the same name. (Currently in its Fifth printing.) His three books on his Metaphysical Method, The Thought Exchange, explore how to not only choose the thoughts we wish to hold, but how to stay with them and see them manifest in our lives. He is a sought after speaker, lecturer and teacher around the country.

Adapted from The Thought Exchange, by David Friedman (pp. 358-62) Life is like a play:  when I am in it, I can’t step out of it. All the drama of my life is “part of the story,” and the difficult parts, even when I feel stuck or betrayed,  are there to lead up to the triumph. Through all the drama, like Joseph, no matter what others do for me or to me, I remember that I am in this part to learn and grow. I ask myself, “What play am I in?”  I decide that I am not appearing in a tragedy.  I am starring in the play where I succeed and where God shows up! Whatever happens in my “play” turns out to be the perfect circumstance to bring forth the highest outcome for all concerned.   In Big Drama, even trouble is a gift!

Coach Cafe' is excited to welcome David Friedman, author of the book and documentary film "The Thought Exchange-Overcoming Our Resistance to Living A Sensational Life"!  Thought Exchange is a simple yet profound way of looking at the world, that allows us to understand and experience the truth about who we really are, where we really live, what we really want, and how to have that all the time. If you’ve tried all the self-help stuff, earnestly reciting affirmations, holding positive thoughts, saying “cancel cancel,” making to-do lists, trying to "attract" the things you want, meditating, attending seminars… and you’re still finding yourself in the same place you were then you will want to join us!  In this groundbreaking book, David Friedman takes us on a journey that begins where most of us started and perhaps still are; firmly entrenched in the ambitions, strivings and frustrations of the physical world; and leads us, step by step, discovery by discovery, to this new world, the REAL world, that has always been right here, inside us. In this world, we not only find that we have all that we’ve looking for, but we discover that the “outer” world has no choice but to reflect the contentment, success and peace that we already have, and have always had, inside of ourselves. By opening this book, you are taking a journey that perhaps you have begun many times, only to get lost, frustrated or sidetracked along the way. This book will lead you, in ways you’ve never been led before, to where you’ve always truly wanted to be.  To find out more about David Friedman and the Thought Exchange visit: www.thethoughtexchange.com
