In this episode, we sit down with Majid Ansari, a ninth-semester BALLB student at Nepal Law Campus, to dive deep into Nepal's current political climate, youth-led protests, constitutional gaps, and the future of leadership in the country. Majid discusses why top political leaders haven't been arrested, how protests and curfews unfolded, and what the autopsy and transparency debates reveal about institutional trust. He also explains the psychology behind brainwashing Nepali citizens, the influence of social media vs physical campaigns, and what a directly elected Prime Minister could mean for Nepal. We explore the monarchy debate, whether monarchy brings power balance, the flaws within monarchical systems, and how countries like the UK developed their royal structures. Majid also breaks down historical shifts—from Lipulekh during the King's rule, to the role of President Ram Chandra Poudel during the recent Gen Z movement. Other major topics include: how the next President should be elected, the history of UML and Maoist movements, the significance of NOTA in elections, and what happens if future elections don't take place on time. This episode is packed with legal, political, and historical insight—perfect for anyone trying to understand Nepal's present and future political trajectory. #MajidAnsari #NepalPolitics #GenZProtestNepal #Nepal #KPOliArrest #ElectionDelayNepal #MonarchyDebateNepal #NOTANepal #DirectlyElectedPMNepal #TikTokProtestNepal #PoliceProtocolNepal #LipulekhIssue #UMLHistoryNepal #MaoistWarNepal #NepalGovernance #PresidentNepalRole #YouthProtestNepal #PoliticalReformNepal #ConstitutionNepal #PowerBalanceNepal #PoliticalAnalysisNepal GET CONNECTED WITH Majid Ansari: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/majidansari___/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/majid.ansari.876825/about/

Over the last fifteen years living and ministering in South Asia, Brian, a leader with Operation Mobilization, has witnessed numerous changes. One aspect that hasn't changed is openness to the gospel. Brian will explain where Christian persecution usually begins and how it can feature a mix of family, community, and/or the government coming against the church and against new followers of Jesus. Emphasizing that God is the one who changes hearts and minds, Brian shares how, when we read the New Testament, we see that God is sovereign even over the persecution He allows His children to endure. "[Christian persecution] causes believers to grow in their faith." Brian says, "I think it's a real witness that this faith is so much bigger than what is happening to me in this world." OM's mission is to grow the church and mobilize followers of Christ to go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything the Lord has commanded. Brian will share specific stories of how Christians in Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka are being mobilized to spread the gospel where they are and take Jesus into new communities where there aren't any churches. One story you will hear is that of a young girl, only 6 or 7 years old, who so passionately shared Jesus with her classmates that her teacher said, "Why don't you share this message with the entire school?" You'll also hear about a witch doctor who saw his son healed after praying for healing in the name of Christ. Discover how you can get involved in missions—whatever stage of life you're in—and what Brian considers the most vital qualities for those who desire to serve and reach out among unreached people groups or in foreign nations. Pray for persecuted Christians in South Asia to run the race with boldness and increased fervor for the Lord. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like India, China and Iran throughout the year, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.

As we approach the Thanksgiving season, we are so thankful for how our patients inspire us daily at Holistic Integration with their life-changing stories. This week, we share some of our patient stories from this past year. In this episode, we talk about:—How Dr. Prather says he "knows" when a patient is truly getting better because the lab tests confirm it often before the patient even starts to feel the improvements.—Why Dr. Prather often cries with patients over the breakthroughs they are seeing in their health. —How Vicky's primary Medical Doctor had never seen a patient drop their A1C levels so much in just two months and wanted to know everything she was doing at Holistic Integration to see those results.—The reason Lorien says Holistic Integration has been the first place in 9 years that has been able to truly help her body to recover from damage due to a car accident and mold poisoning. —The amazing story of Lynn who, after completing the Holistic Heart program, was able to ride a motorcycle through Nepal and went paragliding off the side of a mountain!—How Mike says the approach at Holistic Integration "just made sense" to him and that the staff are genuine and kind.—Why Jon says he feels "like a new person" after coming to Holistic Integration for post-surgical therapy due to a herniated disc from weightlifting.—The story of Robin who "walked around for years in pain" following a car accident, until she had her first pain-free day in years after her initial Holistic Integration appointment.—How Caleb suffered from Chronic Migraine Headaches for two years and saw dozens of doctors without any answers, but then came tot Holistic Integration where he "found more answers and more solutions than all the other doctors combined".—Plus, learn the details of Dr. Prather's next seminar, "healthy Holidays and Longevity", and how you can receive 20% off our Prather Profile Blood Analysis by attending!http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
Footballers in Nepal organised a protest last week after the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) announced it would not hold the ‘A' Division League this year too. They took to social media with a video asking the soccer governing body, "When will the ‘A' Division League take place?" and also hung their medals outside ANFA headquarters. To address the situation, the Ministry of Youth and Sports held talks between the two sides on Tuesday, 11 November, which resulted in ANFA reportedly agreeing to organise the league within 120 days. Our Nepal correspondent Pratichya Dulal spoke with Bishal Shrestha, treasurer of the Nepal Football Player Association about their demands, and ANFA spokesperson Suresh Shah, who confirmed the association is preparing to conduct the league within the next four months. - अखिल नेपाल फुटबल सङ्घ (एन्फा)ले यो वर्ष पनि 'ए' डिभिजन लिग नगर्ने भनेपछि नेपाली फुटबल खेलाडीहरू अगिल्लो साता त्यसको विरोधमा उत्रिएका थिए। विरोध स्वरूप उनीहरूले “ए डिभिजन लिग कहिले?” भन्दै भिडियो बनाएको र आफूहरूले जितेका मेडलहरू एन्फा मुख्यालयको गेटमा लगेर टाँगिदिएका तस्बिरहरू सार्वजनिक भएका हुन्। उक्त विवाद मिलाउन युवा तथा खेलकुद मन्त्रालयले दुवै पक्षबिच मङ्गलवार, ११ नोभेम्बरमा वार्ता गरेपछि त्यसको १२० दिन भित्र 'ए' डिभिजन लिग गर्न एन्फा सहमत भएको बताइएको छ। तर लिग सुरु नहुँदासम्म भने खबरदारी गरी नै राख्न पर्ने खेलाडीहरूको भनाई छ। फुटबल खेलाडीहरूले किन राखे त 'ए' डिभिजन लिगकै माग भन्ने बारे नेपाल संवाददाता प्रतिक्षा दुलाले फुटबल खेलाडी सङ्घका कोषाध्यक्ष विशाल श्रेष्ठसँग कुराकानी गर्नुभएको छ। यसै बारे एन्फाको तर्फबाट जानकारी लिने क्रममा एन्फाका प्रवक्ता सुरेश शाहले आगामी चार महिना भित्र लिग गर्न सङ्घ तयार रहेको दुलालसँगको कुराकानीमा बताएका छन्।

No one comes to the Father except through me.'” — John 14 : 6When the world feels fractured, John 14 : 6 calls us back to wholeness in Christ.

His truth exposes fear and replaces it with grace. Physical pain, emotional wounds, spiritual fatigue—all meet their answer in His presence. Healing is a journey with the One who is Life.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for healing across Israel, Nepal, Colombia, and the DR Congo. Let hope rise in hospitals, homes, and hearts. May miracles testify that Jesus still moves with compassion. May the weary find strength, and nations witness His restoring power.Prayer PointsPray for physical healing through Jesus Christ.Ask God to restore emotional and mental health.Pray for families seeking reconciliation and hope.Intercede for churches ministering to the broken.Declare that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.Pray for faith to rise in those awaiting miracles.Ask for renewal in conflict-scarred communities.Pray that Christ's peace covers the suffering.Lift up pastors and carers serving with compassion.Thank God for healing and new life in Jesus.Life ApplicationWhen you feel weary, walk with Jesus—He restores what pain has taken and fills hearts with peace.DeclarationWe declare that Jesus Christ is the Way, theSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

What does it actually mean to be "documented" or "undocumented" as a migrant to the USA? What's the lived reality like of existing somewhere in between the two, including under the category of "temporary protected status", or TPS, created by Congress in 1990 for people from countries deemed too unsafe to return to? UCLA sociologist and leading migration expert Cecilia Menjívar joins us to discuss her concept of "liminal legality". Elaborated in a 2006 paper following fieldwork through the 1990s with migrants from Central America, the term remains enduringly relevant in Trump's America - where the administration has moved to roll back TPS for people from countries such as Afghanistan, Venezuela and Syria. A conversation about precarity, lived experience, and policy - and a reminder that "creating a group of people whose rights are diminishing by the day" harms not only those individuals, but all of us. **Recorded Sept 2025** Suggested Reading: 'Behind the headlines: Temporary Protected Status', a factsheet from the International Rescue Committee, with links to the latest developments on attempts to end protections for people from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua and Syria '1990: Temporary Protection Status (TPS)' - a research guide from the Library of Congress, A Latinx Resource Guide: Civil Rights Cases and Events in the United States. **including a useful timeline** 'Liminal Legality: Salvadoran and Guatemalan Immigrants' Lives in the United States' (January 2006) by Cecilia Menjívar in the American Journal of Sociology 'Effects of SB 1070 on Children', by Carlos Santos, Cecilia Menjívar, Erin Godfrey, Pp. 79-92 in Latino Politics and Arizona's Immigration Law SB 1070, edited by Lisa Magaña and Erik Lee.

This includes updates re: Haiti, Venezuela and Syria ** Active listening questions: What did Cecilia mean by "liminal legality" when she coined the term in her 2006 paper? And how is it manifest today? How might geopolitics play a role in whether an individual with a given nationality is labelled as a refugees or asylum seeker? Why is it important to look beyond labour market experience when we consider the experience of people labelled as migrants? What and what stands to gain when minoritised or vulnerable people are rendered "impermanent" or "temporary"? What does Cecilia's approach show about the value of using sociological research and analysis to complicate seemingly neat binaries? Cecilia talks about how the precaritisation of some people's migration status "reverberates across US society", impacting us all. What does she mean by this and how does it connect with what Michaela speaks of as "de-migrantising" migration research?

Nepalese democracy is strong but its economy is not. Social platforms gave voice to the aggrieved. When the government threatened access, young folks got down to business, and they got it done. How? Amb. Peter Bodde unpacks.
Prof. Bishnu Prasad Basel on Youth Protest, Politics & Nepal's Future. In this thought-provoking podcast, Prof. Bishnu Prasad Basel, Adjunct Professor of Sociology at Tribhuvan University, joins us for a deep conversation about the state of Nepal's politics, the rise of youth protests, and the future of socialism and democracy in the country. From the Gen Z protest movements to the struggles within Nepal's political parties, Prof. Basel explains how social structures, economic inequality, and ideological confusion are shaping modern Nepal. He also discusses why democracy exists in theory but not within political parties, what role socialism and capitalism play in Nepal's development, and how the country can create a more accountable political system. We dive into the history of Nepal's unification by Prithvi Narayan Shah, the role of caste in politics, and the urgent need for civic education and youth engagement. This episode offers deep insight into why protests repeat, how new political parties struggle to emerge, and what Nepal must do to achieve true democratic reform. Whether you're a student, political observer, or active citizen, this conversation with Prof. Bishnu Prasad Basel will reshape how you view Nepal's democracy, governance, and political culture. #NepalPolitics #BishnuPrasadBasel #GenZProtest #Socialism #Democracy #PoliticalChange #Nepal #Communism #YouthInPolitics #CapitalismInNepal GET CONNECTED WITH Prof. Bishnu Prasad Basel: Email - baselbishnu@gmail.com Twitter - https://x.com/BishnuBasel99

Dan is off this week. So we are pleased to bring you a feature from our new limited series American Unexceptionalism: Global Lessons on Fighting Religious Nationalism with Dr. Matthew Taylor and Rev. Susan Hayward. South Korea is a nation that is deeply entwined with the United States. From the Korean War (which never technically ended) to Korean pop culture to the deep ties between Korean and American evangelical communities, what happens in the US affects South Korea and vice versa. But most Americans weren't paying attention to the fact that Korean democracy was startlingly challenged less than a year ago when the president at the time (President Yoon) declared martial law and tried to have his political enemies arrested. That attempt at autocratic takeover was unsuccessful, because Koreans took to the streets to protest and even Yoon's own party helped overturn his martial law decision and then impeach him. What can we in the United States learn from Korean activists and religious communities about how to resist wannabe tyrants? We get help on this question from two of the foremost experts on the interchanges between Korean religion and American religion: Helen J. Kim and Ray Kim.

She emphasizes how LDN has not only improved her physical health but has also positively affected her mental health, allowing her to engage more fully with her daily activities and reclaim her life.
After returning from deep research expeditions in Tibet, Nepal, and Kemet (Ancient Egypt), Stephanie shares an overview of why perceptual intelligence is the most important key for interfacing our awareness about the world we live in and our personal evolution. She weaves the crucial interface between new (ancient) sciences (like plasma intelligence) and your personal, spiritual evolution sharing how you can expand your aperture of perception to embody emotional peace, mental freedom, physical vitality, and spiritual wisdom.In this episode, we unpack:• The interface between new sciences proving what we know, and personal soul evolution.• The profound connection between your origin story and your current perception of reality.• Why the further back we go in history is how far into the future we can see.• The reality that we humans are perceiving a tiny fraction of the visible electromagnetic spectrum.• How to clear perceptual filters (trauma, distortions, old narratives) to access what's available to us now.• The practice of knowing just because you know it to achieve coherence and step out of the collective "survival mode."• How expanding your perception opens the potential for free energy, precognition, and full human potential.Access my free Liberation Masterclass:

In this insightful episode, Dr. Niraj Poudyal, an advocate for equity and inclusion in Nepal, breaks down complex economic and social realities shaping the nation's development. Known for his ability to simplify intricate ideas, Dr. Poudel discusses why some regions in Nepal grow faster than others, the real meaning of a 4–5% GDP growth rate, and why economic growth doesn't always translate into better living standards. He explains how state and private partnerships can drive progress, yet corruption and unequal policies continue to hinder growth. The discussion explores how per capita income can differ dramatically even when GDP is similar — revealing the unseen inequalities within economic systems. Dr. Poudel also reflects on national pride, urging citizens to respect the flag, map, and anthem, and to cultivate a more positive and proactive national mindset. He touches on migration trends, border issues, and how developing countries can learn from global economic patterns without losing cultural values. This episode offers a rare mix of economics, governance, and social psychology, helping viewers understand Nepal's growth story from a deeply human and practical perspective. #NepalEconomy #DrNirajPoudel #CorruptionInNepal #EconomicGrowth #NepalPodcast #DevelopmentInequality #MigrationNepal #EquityAndInclusion GET CONNECTED WITH Dr. Niraj Poudel: LinkedIn - https://np.linkedin.com/in/niraj-poudyal-phd-12b85b159
Welcome to the ‘Krishna Hamal's Australian Story' podcast series, where we journey through the remarkable life of Krishna Hamal—an economist, mentor, and community leader. In the first episode, Hamal took us back to 1979, sharing how a scholarship led him from Nepal to the regional city of Armidale, New South Wales. In this second episode, he recounts searching for Nepali taste back in the 90s and building wider community connections. Tune in as Krishna Hamal shares his memorable experiences during his early years in Canberra, and some moments from his residence in Canberra before moving down under. - हाल क्यानबेरामा बसोबास गर्दै आइरहेका अर्थशास्त्री डाक्टर कृष्ण हमाल पहिलो पटक सन् १९७९ अगस्ट महिनामा आर्माडेलमा छात्रवृत्तिमा पढ्न आएका थिए। पढाई सक्काएर नेपाल फर्किएपछि क्यानडा हुँदै अस्ट्रेलियाको राजधानी क्यान्बरामा सरकारी जागिर खान भने उनी सन् १९९० को दशक आइपुगेका थिए र लामो समयदेखि अस्ट्रेलियाको नेपाली समुदायलाई बाटो देखाउने काममा लागि परेका छन्। हमालसँगको कुराकानीको यो तेस्रो भागमा क्यानबरा र त्योभन्दा अगि क्यानडा बस्दाका केही रमाइला अविस्मरणीय क्षणहरूबारे सुन्नेछौँ।

When people go missing in war, their absence lingers far beyond the battlefield – splintering families, deepening social divides, and haunting political transitions. Yet amid this grief, the families of the missing often become unlikely peacebuilders: their search for truth draws them across old front lines, transforming pain into connection and personal loss into a collective force for reconciliation. In this post, Jill Stockwell, Simon Robins, and Martina Zaccaro explore how families of the missing – through shared advocacy and dialogue – can reshape divided societies. Drawing on ICRC research from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, and Nepal, they show how families who once faced each other as enemies now work side by side, using their moral authority and lived experience to foster empathy, resist manipulation, and model the very reconciliation peace processes often fail to achieve.

The early November state and local elections held in the United State are part of a broader global wave of resistance to rising inequality and predatory government. From Tanzania and Madagascar to Bangladesh and Nepal, popular uprisings have triggered sudden changes in governments—or threatened to do so. In the United States, this week's results reflect popular and voter response to deepening inequities and the widely unpopular policies of a Trump administration serving as a delivery system for long-desired hard-right initiatives backed by billionaires, think tanks, assorted neofascists and a deeply diseducated voting base mobilized and deployed through fear and manipulation of racial division and cultural grievance. In the aftermath of political shifts—large and small—people engaged in struggle, whether through elections, popular mobilization, or both, understandably take “victory laps,” in the wake of what appear to be watershed moments. These celebrations are often followed by policymaking disappointments, followed by renewed calls to stay committed to the longer fight, typically through deploying the same tactics that produced the incremental victories.

Anna and Geoff discuss their Booker Prize winner predictions. We haven't read enough of the shortlist to know who will win, but Geoff is tipping THE LAND IN WINTER (a DNF for Anna). Our book of the week is FLASHLIGHT by Susan Choi. This is Choi's follow-up novel after winning the National Book Award for TRUST EXERCISE. It is a sweeping family saga set in America, Japan and Korea. Shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize, we could not say we loved this one but it got us talking. How much cat litter detail is too much? Would Tobias really have gone to Japan or would he be trekking around Nepal? Could we read a whole novel of Serk? How many unlikeable characters in a novel is too many? And we revisit 'that year' when Margaret Atwood and Bernadine Evaristo won jointly. Coming up: CREATION LAKE by Rachel Kushner. Follow us!

In this eye-opening episode, Amir Poudel, an environmental expert and a Ph.D. scholar at Texas A&M University, and an adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins University, Washington D.C., shares his nearly 2.5 years of research and field experience living with the Rautes— Nepal's last nomadic people . Amir reveals how the Raute community has managed to preserve its ancient culture amid modernization. He discusses why the Raute migrate, their unique beliefs surrounding death and cleanliness, and how they view monkeys — a sacred and essential part of their identity, livelihoods, and hunting life. The episode explores the Raute hierarchy, decision-making traditions, and their remarkable meat-sharing culture that reinforces community unity. Amir also sheds light on the Rautes´ relationship with money, disputes and conflict resolution, and how they maintain their independence from modern governance systems. He discusses the impact of government´s social welfare funds, the challenges of cultural preservation, and the ethics of modernization in indigenous contexts. This conversation offers a rare, authentic glimpse into one of the world's few remaining nomadic hunter-gatherer societies, exploring anthropology, sustainability, and humanity's shared cultural heritage. He explores how monkeys and the life of Rautes are entangled with each other as both share a very dynamic geographical and social landscape. #RautePeople #AmirPoudel #NomadicPeople #NormadicLife #IndigenousNepal #AnthropologyPodcast #CultureAndSociety GET CONNECTED WITH Amir Poudel: LinkedIn - https://np.linkedin.com/in/amir-poudel-961535a2 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@anepaldai YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@amirpoudel1
Immigrant, Muslim and self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani is also, at 34, the city's youngest mayor in a century. Famed for his charisma, and with millions of views on social media, the Democratic candidate campaigned on a platform that included reducing the cost of living, free childcare and new taxes for millionaires and corporations. In our conversations, we bring together three American Muslims who tell us why they believe Mamdani's election is so important. In his victory speech, Mamdani made a point of thanking the voters he says have been left behind by the city, including immigrants. We hear from New Yorkers originally from Sierra Leone, Nepal and Columbia. And two friends, Brooke and Katherine, share the challenges they've experienced of living in one of the world's most expensive cities.
This week's episode is packed with racing, travel, and adventure! Mark and Caroline dive into the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships — the first time this event lands in Europe, hosted in Marbella, Spain. They break down the course specifics, including the challenging hilly bike route that could shape the results. Will this terrain favour the stronger climbers? They also look at the female pros coming straight from Kona — will fatigue and travel impact their form over the shorter distance? And with several short-course specialists lining up, could we see a few surprise performances from athletes who are fresh, fearless, and ready to shake up the field? Caroline shares her experience winning the first-ever UCI Gravel Race in Thailand, before the pair reflect on visiting the Kanchanaburi War Memorial and the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai — a moving historical stop on their travels. They also talk about Thailand's incredible cycling conditions: smooth roads, minimal traffic, and endless training potential. The adventure continues as Mark and Caroline begin their first week in Nepal, training and preparing to tackle the Manaslu Circuit — a stunning, lesser-known trekking route reaching over 5,200 m altitude. Their goal? To run/hike the entire circuit in under a week (because of course they would!). Finally, they highlight the Peak Education Nepal charity, meeting the children and families whose lives are changing through listener donations. It's an inspiring segment that shows the real-world impact of community and compassion. Tune in for racing analysis, adventure stories, and a healthy dose of perspective from two athletes living life on the move.Enjoy!

Episode Description Sign up to receive this Unreached of the Day podcast sent to you: https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/16742 Dear Friend, The Batak people of North Sumatra didn't have a written language until 1834. Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Someweekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially.

Quotes: “[A MegaDo] is a gathering of frequent flyer aficionados talking about miles points and going behind the scenes in places that you don't normally get to see in an airplane, in an airport, in a hotel.” — Michael Rubiano [03:51] “I've been lots of places, not everywhere, but lots of places, and I'm always seeking the new and the novel.” — Michael Rubiano [18:03] “I get an email from the STEP program, saying, ‘Beware that there are protests in the southern part of the city, near Parliament, and you might want to avoid the area.' Okay, I wasn't anywhere near there. I was in the southwest part of the city. I wasn't getting involved in any protests.” — Michael Rubiano [40:58] “In the protests that were taking place on that Monday, — 19 people were killed, which set everything ablaze.” — Michael Rubiano [42:30] “A mob mentality takes on a life of its own. What started out as protests about corruption and nepotism and lack of job opportunities, lack of economic opportunity blew up, and all of a sudden you don't know which end is up.” — Michael Rubiano [48:53] “In my mind, if hotel staff are bolting out of the kitchen, I'd better get up back to my 14th-floor room. That is the first time that I said, ‘Okay, the danger is getting close to home.'” — Michael Rubiano [49:59] “When I went down to breakfast the next day at the hotel, I made sure to take my backpack, because what happens if something happens and I can't get back up to the 14th floor? So that backpack went with me everywhere.” — Michael Rubiano [58:14] “The hotel staff of the Hyatt Centric [were still] taking care of us when they had their own families and other worries to be concerned with. They were always making sure that we had food. They were still doing room service!” — Michael Rubiano [01:11:07] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Michael Rubiano email Michael Rubiano on Instagram Flyertalk The Flight Deal Hyatt Centric Cathay Pacific Thomas Kim on X Trevor Mountcastle on X The Milenomics Podcast Network
Show Notes Today, I'm talking with Nicole Blaser, an accomplished outdoor educator, adventurer, and co-founder of the Karuna Project. Nicole shares her inspiring journey guiding expeditions from Alaska's glaciers to Nepal's wild rivers, and reflects on the powerful role that compassion and connection play in outdoor leadership. WHAT HAPPENED: I didn't expect a pre-dawn ski up a cold Crested Butte mountain to spark a worldwide mission—but that's exactly what happened. There I was, skinning up the snow-covered slopes with my longtime friend and fellow guide, Seth, making conversation to keep our lungs from bursting in the thin air. At first, we were just training for a ski race, the Grand Traverse. But as we kept climbing—literally and figuratively—our chats turned into something more serious. We talked about the world. About disconnection. About how outdoor adventure had shaped us both. And somewhere between breathless climbs and sunrise turns, Karuna Project was born. We didn't have a 30-day course anymore or the luxury of long timelines. But we did have the skills, the scars (hello Giardia), and the belief that challenge, when shared with purpose, transforms people. PRINCIPLE: Adventure isn't just about adrenaline. It's about compassion. The outdoors has this sneaky way of stripping away the noise, leveling the playing field, and teaching you how to lead—not by shouting, but by showing up with empathy. And that kind of leadership? It's not just for guides on a trail. It's what today's communities, classrooms, and even boardrooms need more than ever. TRANSITION: Here's the thing, though—most people never get that chance. They're stuck thinking leadership means being the loudest. That change only happens through big platforms and politics. That real transformation only comes with a 30-day retreat or a plane ticket to Nepal. But that's not true. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode exists—to show you how meaningful growth doesn't require a mountaintop or a massive budget. Just the right environment, the right challenge, and people who know how to guide you through both. Nicole's story isn't just inspiring—it's a blueprint for how we can all blend purpose with passion, right where we are. CALL TO ACTION: If you've ever felt stuck playing small, waiting for permission to lead or make a difference—stop. The world needs grounded, compassionate leaders now. And this episode? It'll remind you that your growth—and impact—can start with just one step into the wild.
