En el podcast de esta semana analizo un libro que leímos con Dotti “El fin de semana de 5 días” y nos llamó mucho la atención. Les dejo algunos puntos importantes:  01:14- La historia del autor Nik Halik 02:58- El trabajo de tus sueños ¿existe? 04:25- El ingreso pasivo de un trabajo  05:02- El ingreso activo vs el ingreso pasivo  07:18- ¿Está bien disfrutar?  08:33- ¿Qué papel tiene el dinero en la vida de un emprendedor? 09:10- Ideas que me quedaron de este libro  10:20- Una frase que me queda de este libro  11:30- Lo que hice cuando terminé de leer el libro  Abrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros! Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.ar También podés seguirnos en las otras redes: Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende YT: Emprende con propósito Te dejo un resumen del podcast, en caso de que quieras guardarte algunos conceptos: Creo que cualquier emprendedor en este contexto está muy lejos de tener un fin de semana de 5 días. Pero lo interesante de este libro es que plantea otras formas de pensar, de organizarse y de mejorar nuestro negocio y calidad de vida.  “El verdadero trabajo de tus sueños no existe, debes crearlo”. Esta frase me dejó pensando en cómo hay que trabajar para esa oportunidad, crearla vos mismo. Es muy común que hablemos de vivir una vida a lo largo y a lo ancho, con pasión, esfuerzo y haciendo lo que nos gusta, pero a la hora de llevar a cabo eso, nos paralizamos, cuando vienen las inseguridades financieras y la incertidumbre, dejamos de soñar.   Ahí es cuando el autor dice que vamos a lo seguro, y empezamos a ocupar nuestro tiempo haciendo lo que no nos gusta. Cumpliendo los sueños de otro. Wes Jackson dijo: "Si el trabajo de tu vida se puede lograr durante tu vida, no estás pensando lo suficientemente en grande".  Hay 2 maneras de ganar dinero: Los ingresos pasivos que es cuando ganas dinero sin tener que trabajar cada día en eso, (puede ser el alquiler de una casa, acciones en el banco, criptomonedas, etc) y los ingresos activos que los ganas trabajando activamente, son horas trabajadas. Según el autor, tenemos que empezar a ver en nuestros negocios cómo generar ingresos pasivos y que esos ingresos pasivos sean escalables y cada vez más.  Un primer paso es que después de acumular ahorros, hay que invertirlos para cubrir los gastos mensuales con ingresos pasivos. Así cambia la dinámica del dinero: en lugar de ir en busca de ese dinero, el dinero empieza a trabajar para vos.  Lo que me gusta del libro es que dice que al final del día, el dinero es un vehículo para conectarte con otros, con tu familia, con tus amigos, con tus sueños. Lograr ese ingreso pasivo no es fácil (yo todavía estoy lejos de ese “5 day weekend”), pero cuanto más temprano en tu carrera empieces a pensar en esto, más temprano vas a poder proyectarte desde otro lugar.  ¿Cómo puedo adaptar el 5 day weekend a mi realidad? Sabemos que nuestra rutina y objetivo no es descansar 5 días y trabajar 2, pero creo que podemos buscar que nuestros ingresos pasivos sirvan para cubrir 3, 4, 5 veces lo que gastamos en un mes (Halik propone 10!). Podés hacerlo empujando más allá de tus límites y buscando una actividad secundaria que sea escalable.  No vivas para jubilarte, viví para que cuando te retires, puedas tener y mantener el propósito, y lo hagas desarrollando tus dones, talentos y crear valor para tu gente y quienes te rodean. #trabajoduro #rutina #tiempo #horastrabajadas #valordeltiempo #futuro #independencia #libertad #sueños #sueñoscumplidos

Rod Morrison is a 4th generation Wyoming Farmer with deep roots  in the organic food movement. Rod speaks powerfully and convincingly about moving farming from its current corporate and industrial approach toward a more local and sustainable approach.  His experience with the political and financial forces that have pushed the planet's food policies toward an unsustainable future, has turned Rod into a powerful advocate for an approach to an economic system  that centers value around the value of food calories, perhaps the most important value for all life on the planet. Rod's thinking evokes comparisons to Wendell Berry and Wes Jackson voice luminaries in the effort to think deeply and coherently about sustainable life on earth.

Welcome back to Inside Personal Growth! Joining us this episode is Robert Jensen featuring the book he co-authored with Wes Jackson, An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity.

"And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been." Rilke Word of the Year: "Affection" noun af·​fec·​tion ə-ˈfek-shən  Synonyms of affection 1: a feeling of liking and caring for someone or something : tender attachment : FONDNESS She had a deep affection for her parents. Middle English affeccioun "capacity for feeling, emotion, desire, love," borrowed from Anglo-French, "desire, love, inclination, partiality," borrowed from Latin affectiōn-, affectiō "frame of mind, feeling, feeling of attachment," from affec-(variant stem of afficere "to produce an effect on, exert an influence on") + -tiōn-, -tiō, suffix of action nouns Referench: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/affection philostorgos: tenderly loving Original Word:φιλόστοργος, ον Phonetic Spelling:(fil-os'-tor-gos) Definition:tenderly loving Usage:tenderly loving, kindly affectionate to Reference: https://biblehub.com/greek/5387.htm For the full text of the Jefferson Lecture 2012, by Wendell Barry, please visit: https://www.neh.gov/about/awards/jefferson-lecture/wendell-e-berry-biography Photo by Guy Mendes Quoted excerpts from the lecture: “Because a thing is going strong now, it need not go strong for ever,” [Margaret] said. “This craze for motion has only set in during the last hundred years. It may be followed by a civilization that won't be a movement, because it will rest upon the earth.E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910) p. "The term “imagination” in what I take to be its truest sense refers to a mental faculty that some people have used and thought about with the utmost seriousness. The sense of the verb “to imagine” contains the full richness of the verb “to see.” To imagine is to see most clearly, familiarly, and understandingly with the eyes, but also to see inwardly, with “the mind's eye.” It is to see, not passively, but with a force of vision and even with visionary force. To take it seriously we must give up at once any notion that imagination is disconnected from reality or truth or knowledge. It has nothing to do either with clever imitation of appearances or with “dreaming up.” It does not depend upon one's attitude or point of view, but grasps securely the qualities of things seen or envisioned. I will say, from my own belief and experience, that imagination thrives on contact, on tangible connection. For humans to have a responsible relationship to the world, they must imagine their places in it. To have a place, to live and belong in a place, to live from a place without destroying it, we must imagine it. By imagination we see it illuminated by its own unique character and by our love for it. By imagination we recognize with sympathy the fellow members, human and nonhuman, with whom we share our place. By that local experience we see the need to grant a sort of preemptive sympathy to all the fellow members, the neighbors, with whom we share the world. As imagination enables sympathy, sympathy enables affection. And it is in affection that we find the possibility of a neighborly, kind, and conserving economy." "But the risk, I think, is only that affection is personal. If it is not personal, it is nothing; we don't, at least, have to worry about governmental or corporate affection. And one of the endeavors of human cultures, from the beginning, has been to qualify and direct the influence of emotion. The word “affection” and the terms of value that cluster around it—love, care, sympathy, mercy, forbearance, respect, reverence—have histories and meanings that raise the issue of worth. We should, as our culture has warned us over and over again, give our affection to things that are true, just, and beautiful. It is by imagination that knowledge is “carried to the heart” (to borrow again from Allen Tate). The faculties of the mind—reason, memory, feeling, intuition, imagination, and the rest—are not distinct from one another. Though some may be favored over others and some ignored, none functions alone. But the human mind, even in its wholeness, even in instances of greatest genius, is irremediably limited. Its several faculties, when we try to use them separately or specialize them, are even more limited. The fact is that we humans are not much to be trusted with what I am calling statistical knowledge, and the larger the statistical quantities the less we are to be trusted. We don't learn much from big numbers. We don't understand them very well, and we aren't much affected by them." ((Who Owns America? edited by Herbert Agar and Allen Tate, ISI Books, Wilmington, DE, 1999,  pages 109–114. (First published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1936.) [Nature] "As Albert Howard, Wes Jackson, and others have carefully understood, she can give us the right patterns and standards for agriculture. If we ignore or offend her, she enforces her will with punishment. She is always trying to tell us that we are not so superior or independent or alone or autonomous as we may think. She tells us in the voice of Edmund Spenser that she is of all creatures “the equall mother, / And knittest each to each, as brother unto brother.” (The Faerie Queene, VII, vii, stanza XIV.) "To hear of a thousand deaths in war is terrible, and we “know” that it is. But as it registers on our hearts, it is not more terrible than one death fully imagined. The economic hardship of one farm family, if they are our neighbors, affects us more painfully than pages of statistics on the decline of the farm population. I can be heartstruck by grief and a kind of compassion at the sight of one gulley (and by shame if I caused it myself), but, conservationist though I am, I am not nearly so upset by an accounting of the tons of plowland sediment borne by the Mississippi River. Wallace Stevens wrote that “Imagination applied to the whole world is vapid in comparison to imagination applied to a detail.” (Opus Posthumous, edited, with an Introduction by Samuel French Morse, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1957, page 176.) "But we need not wait, as we are doing, to be taught the absolute value of land and of land health by hunger and disease. Affection can teach us, and soon enough, if we grant appropriate standing to affection. For this we must look to the stickers, who “love the life they have made and the place they have made it in.” "E. M. Forster's novel, Howards End, published in 1910. By then, Forster was aware of the implications of “rural decay,” and in this novel he spoke, with some reason, of his fear that “the literature of the near future will probably ignore the country and seek inspiration from the town. . . . and those who care for the earth with sincerity may wait long ere the pendulum swings back to her again.” (Howards End, page 15, 112). Margaret's premise, as she puts it to Henry, is the balance point of the book:  “It all turns on affection now . . . Affection. Don't you see?” (Ibid., page 214). To have beautiful buildings, for example, people obviously must want them to be beautiful and know how to make them beautiful, but evidently they also must love the places where the buildings are to be built. For a long time, in city and countryside, architecture has disregarded the nature and influence of places. It is the vice of a vulgar mind to be thrilled by bigness, to think that a thousand square miles are a thousand times more wonderful than one square mile . . . That is not imagination. No, it kills it. . . . Your universities? Oh, yes, you have learned men who collect . . . facts, and facts, and empires of facts. But which of them will rekindle the light within? (Ibid., page 30)." “The light within,” I think, means affection, affection as motive and guide. Knowledge without affection leads us astray every time. Affection leads, by way of good work, to authentic hope. The factual knowledge, in which we seem more and more to be placing our trust, leads only to hope of the discovery, endlessly deferrable, of an ultimate fact or smallest particle that at last will explain everything. Margaret's premise, as she puts it to Henry, is the balance point of the book:  “It all turns on affection now . . . Affection. Don't you see?” The great reassurance of Forster's novel is the wholeheartedness of his language. It is to begin with a language not disturbed by mystery, by things unseen. But Forster's interest throughout is in soul-sustaining habitations: houses, households, earthly places where lives can be made and loved. In defense of such dwellings he uses, without irony or apology, the vocabulary that I have depended on in this talk:  truth, nature, imagination, affection, love, hope, beauty, joy. Those words are hard to keep still within definitions; they make the dictionary hum like a beehive. But in such words, in their resonance within their histories and in their associations with one another, we find our indispensable humanity, without which we are lost and in danger. Of the land-community much has been consumed, much has been wasted, almost nothing has flourished. But this has not been inevitable. We do not have to live as if we are alone.

In this episode, we're joined by special co-host, writer, producer, storyteller, Kim Yaged as we speak with Emeritus Professor in the School of Journalism and Media at the University of Texas at Austin, Robert Jensen. Many people say they are "spiritual but not religious." Bob says he's "religious but not spiritual" - and that's just to start! He also identifies as a "good ole' lefty materialist." We discuss his radical feminist critique of the transgender movement; a broader critique of "the Left" from the left; being able to identify with a Christian tradition and yet hold disparate beliefs; what radical feminism is and why it's a gift to men; what it means to be a radical; whether revolutionary violence is ever justified; the hard questions we need to address in order to deal with the pending ecological "apocalypse"; and the price that comes with, as our co-host Kim Yaged put it, "an attachment to truth."   Robert Jensen is an emeritus professor in the School of Journalism and Media at the University of Texas at Austin and a founding board member of the Third Coast Activist Resource Center. He collaborates with New Perennials Publishing and the New Perennials Project at Middlebury College. Professor Jensen joined the UT faculty in 1992 after completing his Ph.D. in media ethics and law in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota. Prior to his academic career, he worked as a professional journalist for a decade. At UT, he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in media law, ethics, and politics until he retired in 2018. In his writing and teaching, much of Dr. Jensen's work has analyzed pornography and the radical feminist critique of sexuality and men's violence, and he also has addressed questions of race through a critique of white privilege and institutionalized racism along with his recent work focusing on the ecological crises. Dr. Jensen is a prolific writer for popular media, both alternative and mainstream and is the author of many books, most recently, An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity along with his coauthor Wes Jackson.   Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.    robertwjensen.org   kimyaged.com   thirdcoastactivist.org   www.newperennials.org   www.democracygroup.org/shows/talkin-politics-religion   twitter.com/coreysnathan

Bob Jensen has written a book with Wes Jackson titled An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity. With a title like that, Jason and Bob have lots of heavy ground to cover, including overshoot, the limits to growth, and the cascading environmental and social crises of our times. They conclude that there are no easy answers or silver-bullet solutions, but by focusing on sustainable size of the human population, appropriate scale of social organization, optimal scope of human competence for managing high-energy modernity, and required speed of taking action to avoid catastrophe, they home in on some strategic responses to the crises. Support the show

A lifelong love of prairie led sculptor and former architect BILL MCBRIDE to the rolling sea of grass and sunflowers that is Matfield Green, Kansas—population 45. Serendipitous introductions to fellow environmentalist, artists and conservation enthusiasts enabled Bill to find a home for his own work and his ongoing passion project, the Prairie Art Path. Initially lacking a road map, Bill “lived conceptually,” doggedly pursued his artistic dreams, and eventually created the place he imagined. “You have to keep listening to yourself and find your models.”Find BILL:Website:  www.billmcbridestudio.com    Facebook:   @wamcbride      Instagram: @MatfieldGreenWorks  Mentioned:Matfield Green, KS (learn) Matfield Station (learn)Cottonwood Falls, Kansas (visit)  Tall Grass Prairie National Preserve (visit)  Flint Hills, Kansas (explore) Prairie Art Path, Bill's artwork and others (discover)  Riverbank Neighbors (learn) Wes Jackson, environmentalist / Land Institute in Salina, KS (learn)  Friends of Chicago River (learn)  Chianati Foundation, Marfa TX (visit)  Donald Judd , American artist, minimalism (learn) Pioneer Bluffs, Center for Flint Hills Ranching Heritage (learn)  Ton Haak, Dutch writer, designer, (learn)  Tall Grass Artist Residency, residency and bunkhouses (explore)The Bank / Matfield Green Works, gallery & event space (explore)  Mike Miller, sculptor (learn)  Andy Goldsworthy, English sculptor, environmentalist/ land art (learn) Mark Arts Center, Wichita, KS (learn) Find Me, Kristy Darnell Battani: Website:    https://www.kristybattani.com Instagram:  kristybattaniart Facebook:  kristybattaniart Did you enjoy this episode?

Thirty years ago “The Death of Ramon Gonzalez was published and subsequently began making an impression on thousands of people around the world with, as Wes Jackson of The Land Institute said,” a new way of looking at the tragic human and environmental consequences of chemical-dependent agriculture”. The author of this ground breaking book, Angus Wright recently passed away after a productive life.  For the author of a book that begins with a death from chemical agriculture in Mexico, it seems fitting that the death of the author Angus Wright should begin with a review of lessons learned, progress made and what more is needed for “modern agriculture.” To help with this journey I'm pleased to welcome, Steve Gliessman farmer, retired University of California Santa Cruz professor, one of the first guests on Farm to Table Talk and an author himself-- he literally wrote the book on Agroecology.

BRIC's new president, Wes Jackson, has had a career that is just as multifaceted as the organization he's running. He was the founder and executive director of the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. He has run a business program for executives at Emerson College. And he began his career producing concerts at college for groups like the Fugees, Nas, Dave Matthews Band the Roots and Tribe Called Quest, before starting his promotions company, Seven Heads Entertainment. We talk about his plans for BRIC, his career and how hip hop saved his life.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: hello@bkmag.com  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

In this episode with Robert Jensen, retired journalism professor, prolific author, and life-long social and environmental justice advocate, we discuss his latest book “An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity” that he co-authored with his colleague and elder, and The Land Institute's co-founder Wes Jackson. Against the backdrop of cascading ecological and social crises of subjugation of people and nature under the dominion of patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism, and anthropocentrism, we engage in a humbling dialogue about what it would mean for us to grapple with difficult questions and to consciously embrace limits, as a pathway to a more graceful and meaningful co-existence with one another and with Nature. See episode website for show notes and links:https://www.populationbalance.org/episode-81-robert-jensen ABOUT US The Overpopulation Podcast features enlightening conversations between Population Balance Executive Director Nandita Bajaj, cohost Alan Ware, and expert guests. We cover a broad variety of topics that explore the impacts of our expanding human footprint on human rights, animal protection, and environmental restoration, as well as individual and collective solutions. 

I had to kick things up a notch for Episode 40 and did so in a big way with longtime writer, professor and celebrated author Robert Jensen. With 16 books to his credit, Jensen discusses what might be his most controversial piece, ‘An Inconvenient Apocalypse,' which he co-wrote with another legendary scribe, Wes Jackson. In the book, Jensen and Jackson's take an unpopular stance in terms of how the current global climate crisis will fare - that it's not going to end well for civilization regardless of what measures are taken. In this episode, Jensen also shares the feedback he's received on the book and how there is a growing contingent of folks who believe a societal collapse is inevitable and that it's preparation on the other side of the collapse that's most important. He details how crises of consumption and meaning are at the root of the impending calamity and that a societal fix isn't likely. But this isn't some doomsday prophecy and Jensen shares how love has fueled this project that's been more than 40 years in the making. Learn more about Robert Jensen and purchase his book here.

This episode was life-changing for me personally, two of my mentors with decades of combined experience dealing with ADHD, habits and routines get to know each other for the first time while talking about what they have been through to get to a point to be able live with ADHD and even use it in their advantage to succeed in their lives. Wes Jackson immerses himself in a lot of research and reading about mainly self-development content and ADHD. This is what he is sharing with us about how to get started and how his journey of personal growth is going. He is the CEO of Omega Digital, an agency focused on digital marketing through deep data research and turning that into a high-quality strategy. If you need someone to elevate your brand, he is the wizard for you. Werner Kruger from South Africa is a man with many interests. I call him one of my mentors but also a good friend. To name a few of his projects, he is a Forex and Crypto trader, an investor in NFTs, the Metaverse, and many other industries. Back home he started hustling early from the age of 13 with collectibles and he also broke a few world records in drag racing. What I admire a lot about him is his self-awareness of his physical and mental state. He is always in search of optimizing his routines to get the most work done.

The Best Version of You, Wes Jackson by Community of Faith

Tonight's special guest is Wes Jackson from San Diego, California. He grew up in LA's suburbs, the oldest of three. His Mom was a homemaker and his Dad was an entrepreneur. Throughout his entire life, Wes knew nothing but punishment. He was repeatedly physically and verbally abused until he fell in line, focusing on school and spending as much time as possible with friends. He ironically became a glutton for punishment, feeling like he always had something to prove due to constant invalidation, Wes would proceed to continuously push himself past his limits to the point of burnout multiple times throughout his life. All of this led to him repressing his emotions and his authentic self, especially when in the face of authority. Shut up, keep your head down, and work. This was all he knew how to do, so when he wasn't working he was feeling bad about himself. Wes continued down this path into a life rife with codependency, a lack of self-love, and a void of self-esteem. He could no longer trust himself. This all began to change when he started to speak up and speak out, decades later at the age of 29. He realized he could reframe his trauma into a tool to help others heal. He also realized just how many people were struggling through life due to childhood trauma and a resultant lack of solid identity. Combining this with his several years of experience in marketing, he began giving presentations on personal branding - otherwise known as self-improvement. Wes now tries to spend most of his time coaching, speaking, and teaching online with the intention of helping others help themselves. He is currently developing a podcast with a close friend and fellow trauma survivor, titled 'Surviving Humanity: A Self-help Podcast' that is set to release in the first week of May.

This week, Ron interviews Wes Jackson, co-founder and president emeritus of The Land Institute. They talk about the roots of perennials, the challenges of taking a 50-year farm bill to Washington, and gene sequencing grains. “Life Magazine” named Wes as one of 18 individuals they predict will be among the 100 “important Americans of the 20th century.” In 2005, Smithsonian included him as one of “35 Who Made a Difference.” Wes was a 1990 Pew Conservation Scholar and a 1992 MacArthur Fellow. The interview was conducted on Nov. 4, 2015.

何瑞怡 Matilda 在32岁的时候开始创业，创业前她念了全球前10的MBA, 进入了顶尖咨询公司做到了高管的位置，终于成为了虎妈眼里的 ”成功人士“。工作之余，她单人背包走了40多个国家去“找自己“。 00:14:52 Know Yourself ”我突然意识到，我之前一直是doing doing doing， 但是我们不是Human Doing, 我是Human Being. 那我们怎么‘Being ourselves?' 当我找到了我的Purpose 后，也就是那个Why 之后，我辞职创业，并计划一直做到我90岁，120岁...“ - Matilda. 39 岁这一年，从来没有做过电商的Matilda 做成了有机食品生鲜电商一米市集；https://www.yimishiji.com 39岁这一年，从来没有做过风险投资的Matilda 的农业科技风险投资公司成功融资一亿美金，继续为中国农业科技发展助力。http://www.bitsxbites.cn 00:42:24 有关成功以及失败 "其实我们讲的这个有点悬，有点像道德经。其实我们每一个人的优点就是我们的缺点。很多时候人的成功跟失败也是一体两面的。那我就举个例子，因为这个事情刚刚发生，三个月前，可能大家也会看到新闻，就是我们成功的融到了Bits and Bites 的基金。当然大家看到的这个新闻稿或是媒体的报道，肯定都只会讲，哇你成功超额募资到这么多钱，然后有这么多优秀的投资人投资你，然后我也收到了无数封志贺的信。但是其实从我自己去看，这件事情我看到的其实是满满的失败所累积到了这个成功的结果。如果我去看过去这两年我是怎么成功募集到这笔基金的，其实是因为我们得到了超过五六十个 rejection （拒绝）。我们在募资的前一年是特别坎坷的，很多很多的这些潜在的投资人有无数个拒绝的理由，都可以写成一本书了。“- Matilda 认识何瑞怡Matilda 很多年，每次约见面或者电话，她都非常精准的给出几个她有时间的时间段，时间段精准到15分钟，30 分钟，从早上 8点到晚上8点之间。最开始的几次接触，她会让人觉得非常“公务”。但是当你知道 Matilda 有一个Excel Sheet 来记录她每一天是怎么利用时间的，吃了什么，情绪怎么样，并给每一天都凭个分，她这样记录已经有7、8年了，你就完全理解了她把时间看的有多重要。 00:56:48 时间管理和情绪记录 “在生活当中，我也有一个 Google 的 Excel 来记录。这 Excel 我已经做了7、8年了，然后基本上全方位记录我的 emotional health （情绪健康）跟我的 physical health （身体健康），就是包含我每天喝多少酒，然后喝了几杯，这个是每天要记录的，然后我自己每个月是有目标的。每天的轻断食状态，我是断食 16 个小时，还是18个小时，这个我也要记录的。还有我的睡眠状态，就是我睡觉是不是有睡 7 个小时，这个是能够帮助我每天能子啊高强度会议中工作非常核心的一点，所以我也会记录我睡眠的时间，包括我的 state of mind 这个是很简单的，就是负 2 到正2 。如果我今天非常开心，那我就是2分。我今天还 OK 那可能 0 分，如果今天整个情绪的状态特别不好，可能就是负 1 负2。但是负 1 负 2 的最大的核心是我今天得了负 1 负2，我能不能做出一些行为能够帮助我明天又变成了零分或一分或两分。所以我一直都有这样子的一个日记然后去记录我每天生活习惯。“ - Matilda --------- XQ: 这个方法管理学大师Jim Collins （写过这本书） 也会使用，他叫这个Excel "The Bug Book" 如果听众朋友们有需要，可以写邮件到xieqing@protonmail.com，拿到具体资料。----------- 00:29:30 找到自己的目标（Purpose) "很多人问我说，什么叫 purpose 呢？我也想创业，但我就不知道到底要创什么业。其实我是这么来理解 purpose 的，用一个很简单的问法来问，就是 Are you feeling inspired ？Are you feeling motivated 就是你每天早上起床你要走去上班了，你的能量感怎么样？如果一到五你是一，觉得好烦，我为什么要去上班？我就会告诉她说那说不定你就真的得换工作了，你为什么要去这个我为了拿这笔钱，然后你去做一份工作，是你每天早上巴不得就是留在床上睡觉，那我自己因为自己很知道我自己要什么，我的两份工作，两个公司我都觉得，每天早上起来即使再困难的挑战，我还是觉得我是在做一份非常有使命感的事情，所以我会觉得是非常有动力的。" - Matilda 00:30 不婚不育是我的选择 “那再倒过来说，我从小就没有这个所谓的荷尔蒙，想当妈妈，我从小就跟着我爸妈说我不想结婚不想生小孩。然后我到现在，我还是不理解为什么要结婚或生小孩，我觉得这个东西就是一个见仁见智，为什么要为了一张纸去跟一个人在一起，然后还有法律约束对吧？然后你看，现在全世界离婚率这么高，那到时候分家产分房产特别麻烦。然后为什么要生小孩这件事情其实我也没有办法去理解。” - Matilda 00:36:00 如何做选择以及为什么很多人给你的反馈都是噪音 “所以我觉得虽然这个主流的声音它会有很多反面的声音，那我觉得这个问题的核心关键点还是在于你怎么样去 take those feedback 就是我觉得有时候我们女孩子还是非常容易去害怕，因为就听到很多，有正面的，有负面的 feedback （反馈） 那我觉得这个也是我在过去这几年不断地去训练自己的。我叫做 emotional strength 。很多时候 don't listen to those unsolicited feedback （不要去听那些没有来由的反馈）。很多时候这些给反馈的人又不是懂你自己，那他们就站在他们自己主观的失败的经验、成功的经验，然后去给你一些他们自己认为合适他们的建议，但是这个东西不见得可以套到你自己的身上。那以前我自己也会觉得我就得听，我们都要 lesson well 。”- Matilda 00:49:29 有关年龄焦虑以及长寿健康管理 “首先我先讲一下，我觉得我们这一代的人非常很有可能活到 120 岁。所以我先讲 life span 是 120 岁。所以对我来说健康是一个我人生当中最重要的事情，如果我们这一代的人都可以活到 120 岁。那我们是希望 90 岁的时候就开始坐轮椅？还是我们希望 90 岁我们还可以到处飞，我今天飞南非，然后我上飞机，我还可以自己有力量的把行李箱放到上面去。第二就是当你有这个 awareness 你可以活到 120 岁。那其实我今年也要满 40 了，我还有 80 年，所以我现在就是一个年轻人， 我才活了1/3。所以我就觉得哇那我还可以做的事情这么多，所以我其实是用比较正面的视角去看这件事情。第二是我自己觉得每一个十年更重要的，应该是在于你知道你自己要做什么。”- Matilda Matilda 小红书账号： 何瑞怡Matilda Matilda 会从营养学角度告诉女生怎么吃，怎么练，可以更加平衡健康。 00:53:15 如何达到平衡状态以及The Wheel of Life “我很建议大家可以上网搜有一个东西叫做 The Wheel of Life*，我们自己 wellness 它其实是有八个不同的 health 组成的，就是你有 family 的 health 你有 social 的 health 对吧，我们都有社交的属性，你有自己的 physical 的 health 我们都希望不生病。然后你也有这个 financial health 你肯定还是要有一定的财务的基础，否则你会恐慌。然后你也要有一份工作，你不可能就做无业游民。然后你也有一个 emotional health 你有一个 spiritual health。 你可以自己去上网做一个小小的测验，然后去看你自己现在的人生是不是一个 balance 它是一个八爪图，那你做完它你就会看到你自己。目前针对这 8 个 health 的一个状态，那你是不是不够 balance 例如说你的你的 job 这一块是不是太多了，每天要工作到晚上 9 点，可能回家宝宝都睡着了。如果希望你的轮盘家庭的比重更大，那么你就可以去调整你的时间分配。这个我自己觉得它是一个很好的工具，去帮助你了解你自己的人生。“ ----------- XQ: 请email xieqing@protonmail.com 来得到更多 The Wheel of Life 的信息。 The Wheel Of Life :https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_93.htm 我身边的很多朋友都有雌雄同体的特性，Matilda 是其中最明显的一位，她从不按主流价值观给自己 贴标签，也有情绪起伏，日常崩溃，但是她花了7年时间找到自己的底层价值观让她从未动摇。 01:09:30 人生愿景 ”我反而是倒过来想这件事情的。有一个影响我蛮深的，在60、70 年代，美国有一个人致力推动有机农业，他叫 Wes Jackson , 他说了一句话: “If you're working...

SMART START, Wes Jackson by Community of Faith

As one of the original movers and shakers involved in the Organic Certification in Congress, Rod Morrison understands what the modern day farmer faces when it comes to taking care of their land. His family history traces back to the days before corporate agriculture began to influence and strong arm farmers into toxic land practices. "Back then there wasn't organic farming, it was just called farming." At one point, I ask Rod what the original intention of the organic certification was, and his answer was quite shocking. Throughout his farming career, Rod has been able to link arms with some big names in environmental farming. He's been fortunate to work with Wes Jackson botanist and environmentalist with connections to Wendell Barry, who was a key contributor to Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma. Rod has a powerful perspective on calories as an approach to food economics. When you understand what a calorie really is, you start to recognize how precarious our way of eating truly is.

The Lindisfarne Tapes are selected recordings of presentations and conversations at the Lindisfarne Fellows' meetings. In March of 2013 William Thompson granted permission to the Schumacher Center for a New Economics to transfer the talks from the old reel-to-reel tapes to digital format so that they could be posted online and shared freely. In 2021, the Schumacher Center used the digital audio to create the Lindisfarne Tapes Podcast. Reposting should include acknowledgment of williamirwinthompson.org. Learn more about the Lindisfarne Tapes here.Berry delivered this lecture in 1976 at the Lindisfarne Summer Conference, "A Light Governance for America: The Cultures and Strategies of Decentralization."

Wes Jackson is one of the foremost figures in the international sustainable agriculture movement. In addition to being a world-renowned plant geneticist, he is a farmer, author, and professor emeritus of biology.He was a professor of biology at Kansas Wesleyan University, and a tenured full professor at California State University, Sacramento. There he established and chaired one of the first Environmental Studies programs in the United States. In 1976 he left academia to co-found The Land Institute, a nonprofit educational organization in Salina, Kansas. There he conceptualized Natural Systems Agriculture—including perennial grains, perennial polycultures, and intercropping, all based on the model of the prairie.He is a Pew Conservation Scholar, a MacArthur Fellow, and a Right Livelihood Laureate (also known as the Alternative Nobel Prize). Smithsonian Magazine has said that Jackson's mission is “the overthrow of agriculture as we know it,” and included him in its “35 Who Made a Difference” list in 2005. Life Magazine named him among the 100 “most important Americans of the 20th century.” He is a member of The World Future Council and the Green Lands, Blue Waters Steering Committee.David W. Orr is the Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics as well as Special Assistant to the President of Oberlin College and executive director of the Oberlin Project. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering work on environmental literacy in higher education and his leading role in the promising new field of ecological design.Throughout his career he has served as a board member of or advisor to eight foundations and on the boards of many organizations, including the Rocky Mountain Institute and the Aldo Leopold Foundation. He is a trustee of Bioneers, the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado, and the Worldwatch Institute.At Oberlin he spearheaded the effort to design, fund, and build the Adam Joseph Lewis Center, which was named by an AIA panel in 2010 as “the most important green building of the past 30 years” and as “one of 30 milestone buildings of the twentieth century” by the U.S. Department of Energy. The story of that building is told in two of his books, The Nature of Design (2002), which Fritjof Capra called “brilliant,” and Design on the Edge (2006), which architect Sim van der Ryn describes as “powerful and inspiring.”

When brand agency Meaningful discovered this pioneer purveyor outside of Bend, Oregon, they knew they had to get the founder on their podcast. Hobbs Magaret not only has one of the coolest names on the planet, he is a true visionary who sees cattle as a vital part of a larger ecosystem that rehabilitates the land, improves agriculture and reduces global warming. If that sounds like a reach, listen in. The conversation ranges freely from cows to forest fires to pandemics to FDA regulations to Wes Jackson, D2C and Tik Tok.

Life is a series of unintended consequences.Things almost never turn out the way we plan. I remember this single-panel cartoon I read many years ago. Two men on a sidewalk are carrying briefcases. One of them says to the other, “Here's an idea. Let's buy a grocery store tabloid and bury it in the park with a copy of our 5-year plan. Then we'll come back in 5 years and dig them both up and see which one is funnier.” I don't have “goals” and I don't have “plans”; because I don't want to live with the pressure, guilt, and bondage those words seem to always bring with them. Plans are based on assumptions that wiggle away like greased piglets when you try to hang onto them. Detailed plans are the wishful thinking of a scientific mind.Instead of goals, I have objectives. Goals have deadlines, objectives do not. When we began building the Wizard Academy campus 16 years ago, I thought it would take us about 5 years. Right now we're hoping we can be finished in the next 12 to 18 months. Okay, so it took 3 and 1/2 times as long as I thought it would, but that's fine because we didn't have a “goal” and we didn't have a “plan.” We had an objective that we pursued in accordance with a guiding principle: Never borrow money. For sixteen years people have asked me about the timeline and the budget for building our campus and they always seem confused by my answer, “It will take as long as it takes and it will cost what it costs.” We built when we had money. We quit building when we did not. The final outcome was never in question. The only variable was how long it would take. Here's another guiding principle: “When something really matters, don't worry about how long it will take. The time will pass anyway.” My more disciplined friends tell me that putting timelines on their goals puts a healthy pressure on them to perform. These same friends also complain about the debilitating stress they face every day. Do you have plans that aren't proceeding as planned? Are your goals wiggling away from you like a greased piglet? Consider the advice of Arianna Huffington, “Just change the channel. You are in control of the clicker.” When I was 20, a wealthy man gave me this advice: “Plan your work, and work your plan.”A couple of years later policemen led him away from his home with his hands cuffed behind his back. I doubt that being arrested for financial crimes was part of his plan. Today I offer you this advice: Choose what you hope to change and make a tiny bit of progress toward it every day. When you commit to a daily action – not an outcome – you will find that passion and hope and serendipity will soon come knocking at your door. You'll find yourself in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, in the right way. Not because you had a detailed plan, but because you made a commitment and you followed it up with daily action. By the way, changing the balance in your bank account isn't an objective, it's merely the consequence of daily actions. So make your commitment to something bigger than that. And remember the words of Wes Jackson, “If your life's work can be accomplished in your lifetime, you're not thinking big enough.” Roy H. Williams

The act of sustainable agriculture and organic farming is still considered by many as practice on the fringes. When Norman Borlaug presented the ideas of the “Green Revolution,” “traditional farming techniques” or those focused on sustainable agriculture have been considered more of an obstacle than a resource. It was a revolution focused on the goal of industrialization with the sacrifice of biodiversity, Wes Jackson explained, in his segment from Letters to a Young Farmer. Farming is hitting a critical pressure point. The average age of a farmer as reported by the AGCensus is 58 years old, and only 6% of these farmers are under the age of 35 years old. There is an incredible need for young farmers to take to the fields and farm the land left behind by this older generation of farmers. Jack Algiere is working hard at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture to help build resourceful, passionate, and thoughtful farmers. The center located in Pocantico Hills, New York, sits right at the lower tip of the Hudson Valley only 30 miles from Manhattan. His team works with children, high school students, and using their world-renowned Apprentice Program to build farmers for the future. He oversees a diverse farm operation that includes pastured livestock, grains, field crops, fruits, wild landscape, flowers, and compost.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast In this episode, recorded live at Prarie Festival earlier this year, Woody Tasch, founder of the Slow Money movement, joins David Bilbrey to discuss the limits of growth as related to economics, our personal role in changing the future, and where Woody sees Slow Money in the next few years. Along the way they talk about the incredible impact of other thinkers on these ideas, include Wendell Berry, Wes Jackson, and E. F. Schumacher, author of Small is Beautiful. In the post conversation interview I spend a few minutes looking at the judgement-free way that Permaculture allows us to best use our resources, especially being able to vote with our money, to have an impact on what we are able to do. By taking these kinds of actions each day we are able to decrease the size of our integrity gap and live in ever greater service to Earth, ourselves, and each other.

For I Am Exchanging a Day of My Life For It. Quixote sees the turning of the windmill as the flailing arms of a giant that must be defeated. Peter Pan will remain young only if he can escape a tick-tocking crocodile that has swallowed a clock. In 1904, old Mrs. Snow spoke of her late husband to author J.M. Barrie on the opening night of his play, Peter Pan, “…and he would so have loved this evening. The pirates, and the Indians; he was really just a boy himself, you know, to the very end. I suppose it's all the work of the ticking crocodile, isn't it? Time is chasing after all of us. Isn't that right?” Don Quixote doesn't defeat his giant but is lifted on its revolving arms and slammed into the ground. Yes, each of us is chased by the same crocodile that tormented Captain Hook and Peter Pan; tick-tick-tick-tick… Time is the windmill of Quixote. Can I ask you a personal question? I mean a really personal question? What are you buying with the hours of your life? Rita Mae Brown said, “I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.” Again I ask, what are you buying with the hours of your life? Anne Tyler opens her book, Back When We Were Grownups, with the words, “Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person.” That line scares me a little. Sometimes I worry that I'm turning into the wrong person, too. Don't you? You and I gasp for breath and wipe tears from our eyes, feet flying barefoot in our daily race against time. “The North Americans' sense of time is very special. They are short on patience. Everything must be quick, including food and sex, which the rest of the world treats ceremoniously. Gringos invented two terms that are untranslatable into most languages: ‘snack' and ‘quickie,' to refer to eating standing up and loving on the run … that, too, sometimes standing up. The most popular books are manuals: how to become a millionaire in ten easy lessons, how to lose fifteen pounds a week, how to recover from your divorce, and so on. People always go around looking for shortcuts and ways to escape anything they consider unpleasant: ugliness, old age, weight, illness, poverty, and failure in any of its aspects.” – Isabel Allende, My Invented Country Our race against time is a race we will lose. But running out of time is not what frightens me. This car will run out of gas. What frightens me is the idea of spending irreplaceable time in a headlong rush to an unworthy destination. John Steinbeck speaks of the unworthy destination in Sea of Cortez, “Most busy-ness is merely a nervous tic. We know a lady who is obsessed with the idea of ashes in an ashtray. She is not lazy. She spends a good half of her waking time making sure that no ashes remain in any ashtray, and to make sure of keeping busy she has many ashtrays.” p. 182, (1941) We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it. In chapter 5 of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, a fortuneteller, Faxe, answers Genry's question about time with a question of her own: “What is sure, predictable, inevitable – the one certain thing you know concerning your future, and mine?” “That we shall die.” “Yes, there's really only one question that can be answered, Genry, and we already know the answer… The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.” Make no mistake; the future has yet to be written. For we are a species gifted with choice. The Greeks believed, “A civilization flourishes when people plant trees under which they will never sit.” Wes Jackson adds to this idea a glowing line of his own, “If your life's work can be accomplished in your lifetime, you're not thinking big enough.” I...
