When I read about the “Veteran Navy SEAL Advocates for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy” called Marcus Capone, I was wondering, what was this all about? A Navy Seal and psychedelics? I kept reading and quickly Amber Capone, Marcus' wife, was introduced in the articles, Amber wanted to save her husband from PTSD and, yes, suicide. And make it possible for war veterans to get in touch with psychedelic-assisted therapy by founding the organization Vet Solutions. Amber's and Marcus' mission today is to end the veteran suicide epidemic by providing resources, research, and advocacy for U.S. military veterans seeking psychedelic-assisted therapies. Vet Solutions helps veterans and their spouses to access treatment with psychedelic therapies including iboga/ibogaine, ketamine, psilocybin, MDMA, 5-MeO-DMT, and ayahuasca. So far in the US. But their model can work on a global level. The story of Marcus and Amber is a pretty strong one. When Marcus was medically retired after 13 years and multiple combat deployments as a U.S. Navy SEAL, Marcus and Amber thought that life would return to normal. Instead, their struggle had just begun. Marcus was experiencing an escalating myriad of challenges, including depression, isolation, cognitive impairment, excessive alcohol use, headaches, insomnia, and impulsivity. Marcus was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but, instinctively, Amber felt there was more to be discovered. After learning about the effects of blast waves, concussive, and subconcussive brain injuries, everything started to become clear. Marcus' military career as an explosives expert, combined with his prior years of contact sports, had left him with the invisible wounds of traumatic brain injury (TBI), a condition that has significant overlap with PTSD and is often not properly diagnosed. So here they are, on the podcast, talking about their journey. https://vetsolutions.org/

“Communicating is the most essential piece in successful change and transformation.” Marcus Kirsch Organizations have always been faced with complexities that have negatively affected how things get done. The belief by most leaders that technology can solve these complexities and enhance productivity has led to many organizations spending a lot of resources to acquire the latest technology, only for the solution to fail in meeting the expectations. However, research continues to show that the people factor is the key to solving these complexities. Today, our guest, Marcus Kirsch, has been working with organizations to address these complexities and believes that the problem can be addressed only if the focus is shifted to consider people aspects when building organizational designs. A Royal College of Art alumni and ex-MIT Media Lab Europe researcher, Marcus Kirsch has worked as a transformation, service design, and innovation specialist for over twenty years. With project experience for companies like British Telecom, GlaxoSmithKline, Kraft, McDonald's, Nationwide, Nissan, Science Museum, P&G, Telekom Italia, and many others, he believes that we need a new narrative, mindset, and way of working to align ourselves with what society needs today. When Marcus is not hard at work, he is a mediocre indoor climber, movie nerd, and maker. He currently resides in London, UK. The Wicked Company is Marcus's first book. In today's episode, our guest will be discussing the people factor, which not only entails those within the organizations but customers as well. He will also use real-life examples to discuss the importance of communication when leading teams to enhance effectiveness.   Listen in!

[2:03] When you work in innovation or are in a creative area, you see a lot of ideas that never come to fruition, and sometimes that has to do with the organization itself. [2:23] I started to focus on the people aspect of things, and what it actually needs for organizations to thrive and create more value, so I moved into management consulting, and that is what I do today. [2:44] When creating things, the people aspect is the more complex aspect, and what I am focused on is the teams who create those things and the leaders who enable them [4:17] I had looked at the complexity of creating things and the challenge this has for many years [4:40] I found the idea of the wicked problem identified back in the 60s as the problem of urban planning was being solved [4:58] Most of today's problems in social media, services products around people keep evolving because people keep reacting to it. [5:50] I looked back at how organizations function and realized that this is probably one of the main reasons why a lot of IT investments and investment in change and transformation just doesn't work [6:05] The big part is a lot of things we can't quite measure but only check effects which is a lot of emotional aspects around technology behavior and change. [6:42] There are interesting new practices out there like service design and behavioral science, which start looking at those aspects as major drivers for things like sales, customer reactions, and how teams are built and thrive. [6:54] When we look at the research on change and transformation projects, and we see they have failed to significantly deliver on proposed value, then we know it is not working. [8:08] It is nearly an industry in crisis, and the crisis is there because both leadership and people themselves have been organizationally trained not to look at the people aspects. [8:24] It has never been easier and cheaper to go out and talk to customers or people in the workplace, so there is no excuse anymore for organizations not to do this. [13:27] However, often the echo of the hierarchy is strong, and therefore it still happens, and therefore that is one of the things which we have to let go. [13:48] That naturally moves us to a shift of governance and decision making and who we ask. [14:00] You have to go out and ask questions not to just make things better for people but to identify crucial things that have been missed out. [18:15] One of the principles we adopt when we go into projects is to treat everything as an assumption. [19:17] Commercial Break [22:50] Communicating is the most essential piece in successful change and transformation [24:12] 50 % of successful transformation is about communicating, clarity, and admitting that you don't know everything but being clear enough with the vision [24:20] It is odd to look back 20 years where we were having leaders that tended to be at a higher age and were less familiar with digital than the younger crowd who grew into it; there was less literacy than a digital one [24:42] It is important for leaders to understand that they don't have all the answers and should allow the people who work for them to more heavily contribute which then pushes a different mode of governance. [26:25] Acknowledging that you are biased and having your teams being able to question what priority you are setting on certain business values or how to achieve them is important. [27:39] Bringing all the language between the different functions together so that they can communicate to each other because if they cannot communicate, then you cannot compare or even have a conversation and therefore can't make a decision. [28:06] This where you want to get to the top and bottom levels of leadership and even, to some extent, include the customer in the process [28:27] Sometimes you find the companies or brands have already moved together but oddly enough find that the teams in the organization and leadership are not together. [28:40] If the top-level and teams are talking the same language, you can have knowledge transfers that are of major benefits to the organization. [29:55] I like simple, practical things and enjoy what people can do, and they can do it when they communicate best together. [33:45] The first few steps are exponentially more important than anything after because anything after increases the cost exponentially if gotten wrong. [36:35] Don't glorify busy; take the time to step back and ask why [38:50] The risk that organizations are taking by overproducing is dangerous and therefore doesn't glorify busy but rather give people time to work nine to five.

Uninhibited Podcast ShownotesEpisode 7: Incarceration with Keevy Welcome to Uninhibited, a podcast with the mission to discuss taboo, multicultural, multi-generational, and multi-layered topics that matter to women. Our host, Dr. Makunda Abdul Mbacke, is an Ivy-League trained OBGYN, practicing medicine in rural America. She is a mother, career professional, part of Generation X, and so much more.---0:57 - Today, Dr. Makunda is joined by Keevy Hairston, who is here to share her story about loving someone who is incarcerated, and the process of welcoming that person back into home life and regular society after release. 2:17 - Keevy tells us about the beginning of her relationship with her husband, Marcus, how they met in 2001 and fell in love soon after. They welcomed a son in 2003 and got married in 2005. She also shares about Marcus’ background and when he first was arrested in 2008 for possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm. 6:50 - Keevy explains what happened after Marcus was first arrested and moving through the legal process, which all occurred within 2008. He served 3 years in a facility that was 2 hours away from his family.9:20 - At the time of Marcus’ arrest, their son was only 5 years old, but knew that his daddy was in jail for a while. Keevy explains that her son struggled with behavioral problems as he started kindergarten while also dealing with the absence of his father. She found so much help and comfort in his teachers during that time. 14:23 - Keevy’s daughter was 13 at the time so she understood more of the situation, and had more distractions with her friends and activities in middle school, so was able to cope better. She expressed sadness over Marcus’ arrest, but also provided comfort to her mother and brother so they could navigate the situation together. 15:33 - As for Keevy, she felt the impact of losing Marcus as a partner and as her children’s father. Keevy was also dealing with the fact that both of her parents were also incarcerated at the same time that Marcus was. She found stability and comfort through her faith and the church, which helped her regain peace in her life.17:37 - Keevy talks about the difficult logistics and cost of visiting Marcus while he was incarcerated. Visiting him was great for the family, as they would be able to get a whole day with him, get to hug him, and play games together, but it was always heartbreaking to leave him.20:20 - Keevy discusses her decision to stay with Marcus while he was incarcerated. Just because he was arrested, didn’t mean that she stopped loving him. She also felt strongly that her children needed the bond with their father. 21:38 - When Marcus was released, he first went to a halfway house for a few months, with visitation home on the weekends. At this time, their son was 8 and their daughter was 16 years old. Marcus’ full homecoming was a very exciting and happy occasion, although everyone did have a readjustment period to learn how to live together again. 25:50 - Keevy explains some of the difficulties of coming back together as a family, mainly that Marcus had to readjust again to fit how the family worked. He invested one-on-one time with the kids to learn who they were and how they had changed while he was gone.27:07 - Thankfully, Keevy and Marcus remained a strong couple, communicating as often as they could. She found more of her independence while Marcus was away, so they had to re-learn how to live together once he came home.28:35 - Dr. Makunda and Keevy discuss the complications of Marcus being arrested for marijuana possession, when now it has started to be legalized in many states. Keevy notes that she has a cousin who was given a 55 year sentence for possession and intent to sell a relatively small amount of drugs, which is a longer sentence than most murder cases are handed. The argument isn’t for the legalization of all drugs, but for smarter and more equitable sentencing methods. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Marcus Wareing is a prize-winning chef, restaurateur, TV presenter and cookery book writer, who gained his first Michelin star at the age of just 26. He grew up in Southport, and by the age of 11 was helping out in his family’s fruit and vegetable business, which dominated his father’s life. Marcus assumed he would join the business, but his father told him to take a catering course instead, as the family firm had no future. When Marcus was 18, he moved to London to work at the Savoy. He loved the experience of life in a high-pressure professional kitchen and was quickly promoted. In 1993 he joined Gordon Ramsay at Aubergine, creating one of the most celebrated London restaurants of the time. He went on to launch a number of Michelin star-winning restaurants, often working with Gordon Ramsay and his company, before a much-publicized falling-out. Marcus now runs a group of restaurants in London, founded with his wife Jane, and since 2014 he has appeared as a judge and mentor on the TV series MasterChef: The Professionals.

In the last episode of Stoicism On Fire, I focused on the Stoic doctrine of an excellent human life and the fact that such a life requires agreement with both human nature and cosmic Nature. The corollary of that doctrine is that human reason alone is not enough to lead us toward an excellent moral character; we must bring our human reason (logos) into agreement with universal Reason (Logos). As I pointed out, the concept of human reason as a fragment of the Logos permeating the cosmos relates to the inner guardian the Stoics referred to as a daimon. With those concepts in mind, we are ready to continue with Marcus’ list of characteristics of a good person. When Marcus reminds himself not to defile his daimon, he notes the good person will exhibit the characteristic of: following God in an orderly fashion, never uttering a word that is contrary to the truth nor performing an action that is contrary to justice. We see three related characteristics here; they are: following god, speaking truth, and acting justly. Following God in an Orderly Fashion First, what does it mean to follow God in Stoic practice? The instruction to “Follow God” may inspire curiosity or provoke resistance among secular moderns. This is not equivalent to following the commands of a sacred text; the Stoics had no such texts. Recall that God is equivalent to Nature in Stoicism. Therefore, to follow God is to follow Nature. However, we misrepresent this aspect of Stoic practice if we remove the divine and providential characteristics of Nature the Stoics attributed to her. Nature devoid of providence is not the cosmic Nature with which the ancient Stoics tried to live in agreement. Absent providence, some version of a chance universe like that of the Epicureans remains. The Stoics opposed this model and found it inadequate as a guide for ethical human life. That is the reason they emphasized the relationship between us and a purposeful (providential) cosmos. Throughout the Meditations, we see Marcus seeking a relationship with cosmic Nature and attempting to align his life with its universal Law. In several passages, Marcus expresses this as following God: Hearten yourself with simplicity and self-respect and indifference towards all that lies between virtue and vice. Love the human race. Follow God. (Meditations 7.31) And he has put aside every distraction and care, and has no other desire than to hold to the straight path according to the law, and by holding to it, to follow God. (Meditations 10.11) In the final passages of his Meditations, Marcus instructs himself to constantly consider, those who have been greatly aggrieved at something that came to pass, and those who have achieved the heights of fame, or affliction, or enmity, or any other kind of fortune; and then ask yourself, ‘What has become of all that?’ Smoke and ashes and merely a tale, or not even so much as a tale. (Meditations 12.27) Then, he reminds himself how “cheap” those things are we strive for and reminds himself of those things that are worthy of our pursuit such as wisdom, justice, temperance, and obedience to the gods. Marcus then imagines a dialog with those who doubt or deny the existence of the gods. He writes: To those who ask, ‘Where have you seen the gods, or what evidence do you have of their existence, that you worship them so devoutly?’, I reply first of all that they are in fact visible to our eyes, and secondly, that I have not seen my own soul, and yet I pay it due honour. So likewise with the gods; from what I experience of their power at every moment of my life, I ascertain that they exist and I pay them due reverence. (Meditations 12.28) Finally, he asks himself a deeply probing question and provides himself with an answer. What is it that you seek? The mere continuation of your life? To experience sensation, then, and impulse? To grow, and cease from growing? To make use of your tongue, and your mind? And what is there in that which strikes you as ...
