I welcome Dutch historian Rutger Bregman to the podcast after first messaging him on Instagram and we talk about what I took from his book Humankind and my own wish to bring people together to remember friendship and kindness. Rutger reflects on Dutch directness and equality shaped by living with water, from the 1953 flood to the Delta Works, and shares why he writes for a general audience about big questions of human nature. We discuss his challenge to the “veneer theory” and his belief in “survival of the friendlies,” alongside a real shipwreck story near Tonga where six boys survived 15 months through cooperation. Our conversation turns to bullying, family and attachment, the Second World War and Rutger's research for Moral Ambition on how resistance spreads simply by asking others to help.01:10 Dutch Culture and Directness04:01 Water Engineering and Delta Works05:41 Early Civilizations and Conflict06:58 Why Bregman Writes Big History08:12 Debunking Human Nature Myths10:07 Cooperation at Highclere Today12:49 Tempest and Amoral People13:55 Real Lord of the Flies Story19:00 Bullying Attachment and Family21:41 Victorian Fathers Revisited22:40 Reform Politics And Women23:28 Why Study War24:04 Resistance Myth Debunked25:24 Heroes Are Asked27:29 Unconventional Organizers30:25 Kindness After Loss32:19 Kindness Is Contagious35:03 Lessons From Animals36:18 Veneer Theory And Dickens37:59 British IndirectnessYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

What do a hairdryer at Charles de Gaulle Airport, a failed biker gang in Tonga, and your Instagram feed have in common? In this episode, Mark, Liddy, and Daniel explore a creeping cultural trend where the casino logic of prediction markets, betting apps, and algorithmic feeds is invading every corner of life — and reshaping our minds in the process. Mark argues that what's really being enclosed is human attention itself, rewired for addiction and instant gratification at the expense of the slow, reflective engagement that genuine flourishing requires. The church isn't immune — but it might just be uniquely positioned to offer an alternative. What if discipleship looked less like a worldview seminar, and more like learning to see the world as gift rather than object?➡️ For subscriber chats and resources, head to rebuilders.co

Kalm with Kava | Exploring Natural Ways to Calm Anxiety & Manage Stresswith Morgan SmithIn today's fast-paced world, many people are searching for natural, plant-based ways to calm anxiety and manage daily stress. In this episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Morgan Smith, a kava enthusiast, wellness entrepreneur, and CEO of Monsoon Beverages, as well as the operator of Pu‘īwa Hawaiian Farms.Morgan introduces us to kava, a traditional Pacific Island beverage with a long and respected history. For centuries, kava has been grown and consumed throughout islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. Across these cultures, kava has symbolized respect and connection and has been used in social gatherings, spiritual ceremonies, and traditional healing practices.We explore how kava is now gaining attention in Western wellness circles for its calming and anxiolytic properties. Morgan explains that kava's effects come from its active compounds, kavalactones, which are concentrated in the root of the plant. These compounds interact with the brain's limbic system—particularly the amygdala, which plays a key role in emotional regulation. For many people, this interaction creates a sense of both mental and physical relaxation.Morgan describes kava as the opposite of coffee—an “anti-coffee,” if you will. While coffee is often used to energize and stimulate, kava is typically enjoyed in the evening to help the body unwind and the mind slow down. It doesn't produce intoxication like alcohol; instead, Morgan compares it to a strong chamomile tea with noticeable calming effects.Since I haven't personally tried kava, Morgan also walks us through what someone can expect when trying it for the first time. He shares that kava has a naturally bitter taste (definitely not sweet!) and may cause a mild tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth. Traditionally, kava is served in several small portions—often called “shells,” named after the coconut shells originally used to drink it.While kava may not be for everyone, this conversation opens the door to understanding natural herbal options that support relaxation, stress relief, and emotional well-being. It's a thoughtful exploration of ancient wisdom meeting modern wellness.To learn more about kava and Morgan's work, visit Kalm with Kava at https://kalmwithkava.com/✨ If you're curious about natural ways to calm anxiety, reduce stress, and support your nervous system, this episode is a must-listen.Listen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Eric: Ability to connect deeply with his heritage and channel it into meaningful work.Climate change often leaves many wondering how they can make a real difference. Eric Pasi, the CEO of Enterprise Energy, believes he has an answer: invest in sustainable, renewable energy projects. During this episode of Superpowers for Good, Eric shared an exciting way to support the transition to a cleaner future while potentially earning great returns.Eric outlined a bold initiative currently raising $400,000 on the Climatize platform to fund batteries in the Chicagoland area. Batteries are critical for creating a reliable, renewable energy grid by storing solar and wind power for peak demand periods. Eric explained, “We've seen a hockey stick growth in solar and wind deployment... now we need the grid to be more dynamic.” By enabling investments with low minimum contributions, Climatize is making it possible for virtually anyone to participate in funding climate solutions.The project is made possible by Illinois' innovative Clean and Reliable Grid Act. Signed into law in January, it opens new opportunities for distributed battery aggregation, a cutting-edge renewable energy approach. Unlike traditional solar projects requiring large swaths of land, a 5-megawatt battery project, Eric noted, “often needs less than one acre of land.” This efficiency unlocks the potential for swift, scalable development.Enterprise Energy has already demonstrated success with its previous projects. Eric shared, “Last summer, we raised development capital on Climatize for community solar in Illinois... we've closed financially and will be repaying investors early.” The proven track record highlights both the viability of these projects and Eric's commitment to investor trust.Eric's long-standing passion for renewable energy is evident. Since entering the field in 2007, he's developed over 500 megawatts of solar power. This new focus on batteries represents the next step in his efforts to revolutionize energy systems.With Enterprise Energy's transparent approach, promising returns, and tangible environmental impact, this crowdfunding campaign is an inspiring opportunity for investors to align their money with their values. The campaign can be explored online via Climatize and the QR code shared during the episode. This represents an exciting chance to support a resilient, cleaner energy future.tl;dr:Eric Pasi discusses a Climatize crowdfunding campaign raising $400,000 for batteries in the Chicagoland area.Illinois' Clean and Reliable Grid Act enables scalable distributed battery aggregation for renewable energy storage.Enterprise Energy's track record includes early investor repayment for previous community solar projects.Eric attributes his success to his Tongan heritage, inspiring his work in renewable energy development.Investing in Enterprise Energy combines climate solutions with potential financial returns for Climatize investors.How to Develop Creating Purposeful Connection As a SuperpowerEric's superpower is his ability to connect deeply with his heritage and channel it into meaningful work. He explained, “My father was an immigrant from Tonga… the island he came from is mere feet above sea level in most places.” Motivated by the tangible climate risks his family's homeland faces, Eric's passion for the renewable energy sector began with a personal understanding of the stakes. Eric's background, coupled with his drive to create real change, has enabled him to excel both professionally and personally.One of Eric's most inspiring stories involves his journey to COP27, where he marched shoulder-to-shoulder with climate activists from the South Pacific, including Tonga. In a full-circle moment, Eric said, “I met Al Gore on the shore of the Dead Sea... and told him my story.” Through bold actions like these, Eric showcases how he's used his superpower of connection to inspire impactful progress in the climate movement.Eric shared actionable steps for fostering a sense of purpose-driven connection. He emphasized the importance of storytelling, as demonstrated by his own journey: “Knowing your ‘why' can motivate you to push through obstacles.” He also encourages people to embrace learning moments, citing his time with the Climate Reality Project. Lastly, he stressed paying it forward by mentoring others in their energy transitions.By following Eric's example and advice, you can make creating purposeful connection a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEric Pasi (he/him):CEO, Enterprise Energy LLCAbout Enterprise Energy LLC: Enterprise Energy is a Minneapolis-based developer of distributed energy projects focused on expanding access to affordable, reliable clean power.

People have traveled far across the oceans in search of greener pastures. Polynesians journeyed thousands of miles, hopping from island to island as they expanded eastward. And one period of expansion might have been triggered by big changes in the Pacific Ocean. That period began about a thousand years ago. People were well entrenched in Western Polynesia—islands such as Tonga and Samoa. But they quickly turned up in Eastern Polynesia—Tahiti and surrounding islands—journeys of up to 1500 miles or longer across open ocean. A recent study looked at climate conditions across Polynesia at the time. Researchers gathered deep sediments from several locations. They used sophisticated lab techniques to analyze the fat in leaves preserved in the soil. That revealed how rainy the climate was at the time the plants were growing. The scientists combined that with other climate information, and ran it all through models of the climate at the time. They found that the rain began to dry up in Western Polynesia. But it got heavier in Eastern Polynesia. That probably was the result of a change in the South Pacific Convergence Zone—a wide region that produces heavy rains during the summer. Changes in ocean temperatures pushed the zone eastward. The change also would have made the winds more favorable for moving eastward. So the people of Western Polynesia could have headed out—looking for greener pastures far across the Pacific. The post Pacific Migration appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

Erica Ocampo, Chief Sustainability Officer at The Metals Company (TMC), to discuss with Mike Nemer their deep-sea mining operations on episode 315 of The Green Insider. TMC is exploring polymetallic nodules in the Clarion‑Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean, which contain nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese. Overview of TMC's Work TMC is exploring polymetallic nodules in the Clarion‑Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean, which contain nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese Mining Technology and Process Operations occur at approximately 4,000 meters depth using a collector vehicle connected to a surface vessel via a riser system Nodules are lifted using water jets, separated from sediment onboard, and water and sediment are returned to the ocean at 2,000 meters depth Sustainability and ESG Focus Erica, Chief Sustainability Officer at TMC, leads ESG integration from the ground up Environmental programs study seafloor impacts, water‑column effects, greenhouse gas emissions, and water use Social impact efforts benefit from the remote location, minimizing impacts to local communities Partnerships with countries such as Nauru and Tonga support scholarships and capacity‑building programs U.S. Mineral Processing Expansion TMC plans to process minerals in the United States to reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains Potential processing and port locations include Texas, Japan, and Indonesia A research vessel accommodating up to 150 scientists has completed 22 ocean campaigns over 13 years, including pilot tests in 2022 Strategic Pivot to Deep‑Sea Mining TMC shifted from the International Seabed Authority framework to operate under U.S. regulatory oversight, citing clearer processes and communication The transition took more than a decade and positions the company to begin operations in early 2027 Environmental Context and Research Findings Focus is on polymetallic nodules in the NORI‑D area, valued for high quality and location in a low‑productivity ecosystem Research indicates the mid‑water sediment plume dissipates quickly with no significant food‑web impacts observed The region has no tuna fisheries, reducing ecological risk to commercial species Overall Perspective Erica stresses the need for a nuanced, evidence‑based discussion of deep-sea mining rather than black‑and‑white judgments To be an Insider Please subscribe to The Green Insider powered by ERENEWABLE wherever you get your podcast from and remember to leave us a five-star rating.
