753: Martin Doblmeier, part 2: Sabbath and Sustainablity 58:45

1d ago58:45

58:45

A blackout struck New York City and a large part of the U.S. northeast in 2003. It happened only two years after 9/11. How could we not first wonder if it was terrorism. I had been at work at the time. After waiting maybe an hour, we all walked down the stairs and went home. Phones worked for a while, so I called the woman I was dating and coordina…

3d ago42:04

Dave and I go back years, to when we both wrote columns at Inc. I'm surprised I didn't bring him on before. He helps entrepreneurs, leaders, and aspiring leaders develop social and emotional skills, as well as college students aspiring to internships.

751: Erica Frank, part 1: Living More Joyfully Sustainably for Decades 55:52

8d ago55:52

55:52

I met Erica in a online meeting of academics who promote avoiding flying. A major perk for many academics is that universities pay for flying to academic conferences, for research, and for other academic reasons, of where there are many. In other words, they often fly for free. (As an aside, since academics learned about our environmental problems …

750: Alden Wicker: To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Poisoning Us. You'll Be Shocked 1:12:50

29d ago1:12:50

1:12:50

Since recording this conversation, I've mentioned to a lot of people, "you wouldn't believe the situation with dyes and poisons in our clothes." The most common response has been something like, "Oh yeah, I've heard. It's terrible." Then I share some of what Alden shares in this conversation and they say, "Wow, I didn't realize it was that serious,…

749: Sven Gierlinger, part 1: Transforming the Culture of a New York Hospital Chain as a Chief Experience Officer 1:03:41

1M ago1:03:41

1:03:41

I heard about Sven through the articles below about the cultural change at Northwell, a chain of hospitals around New York City. I recommend reading the Post article before listening to this episode. It may read overly positive about the food, but Sven and I ate just after recording at the hospital the regular food they serve patients. It was incre…

748: Stephen Broyles, part 2: A Calming, Life Change From One Small Commitment 52:32

1M ago52:32

52:32

About fifteen minutes into this conversation, it hit me how powerfully Stephen's commitment affected him. (Sorry I took so long to catch on, Stephen!) All he had to do was volunteer around a body of water. His experience shows the impact of intrinsic motivation. Maybe observing and spending time by the water means as much to you as to Stephen. Mayb…

Creating a Concept Album with John Flinchbaugh 1:13:06

1M ago1:13:06

1:13:06

Songwriters are storytellers. We're emotional photographers who capture the essence of a feeling in a multi-dimensional combination of words and music. We take a clever turn of phrase and pair it with an irresistible melody to create a memory--but what happens when one snapshot isn't enough? Enter the concept album. In this episode, Emmeline sits d…

1:08:27

Regular listeners and blog readers know I talk about litter and how much we wreck nature, especially my neighborhood's back yard, Washington Square Park. Click the links below to see some of the worst litter you've seen, in a supposedly nice part of town. Today the opposite: someone who brings joy, fun, creativity, music, and dancing to the park. A…

746: Martin Doblmeier, part 1: What We Can Learn from Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1:02:14

2M ago1:02:14

1:02:14

I'm searching for role models including people who changed cultures and undid dominance hierarchies, particularly people who came from status. I can think of many who came from subjugated classes, but not many who could have declined to engage, but did instead. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one. I could share more about him, but my guest today, Martin Dob…

Creating Exciting Events and Spaces that Celebrate Art with Simon Pruitt 56:41

2M ago56:41

Being productive as a creative isn't about being perfect or being perfectly in control; it's about taking action. In this first episode of 2024, Emmeline sits down with Simon Pruitt--a 20-year-old writer, venue manager, and live music event curator--to talk about the value of starting before you're ready. The Founder of OTO Experience, Simon booked…

Finding Your Unique Voice as an Artist with Carly Carroll 1:05:58

2M ago1:05:58

1:05:58

When do you take the leap out of your comfort zone to invest in yourself? When do you give yourself permission to sound like you, and not like the people you've admired? What is the process by which your differences become your strengths? In this episode, Emmeline tackles these questions and more with singer-songwriter and voice coach Carly Carroll…

745: Mattan Griffel, part 2: Is our dependence on polluting behavior "addiction"? 54:37

3M ago54:37

54:37

I have spoken and written at length how I see our relationship with polluting behavior as qualifying as addiction, a view that I think helps frame the challenge of sustainability. Overcoming addiction is harder than creating new technologies or taxing things. It takes powerful internal social and emotional skills. Just acknowledging one is addicted…

744: Stephen Broyles, part 1: What Is Social Work and How Does It Relate to Leadership and Action? 1:18:45

Regular listeners and readers of my blog will know my sustainability leadership workshops and one of the participants of the first, Evelyn (she's in the video on that link). After being the teaching assistant for a couple cohorts, she is leading this winter's session. Often when I talked to her about leadership, she would comment, "We do that in so…

743: Benjamin Hett: The Death of Democracy: Hitler’s Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic 1:18:37

3M ago1:18:37

1:18:37

Regular listeners know how I look for role models in similar situations to ours regarding the environment. We know our polluting and depleting are bringing us toward collapse, but instead of acting, we procrastinate on acting. We rationalize and justify our inaction. We abdicate our responsibility, capitulate, and resign to complacency and complici…

742: John Brooke, part 2: American slavery transformed to today's industry and anti-stewardship of our environment 1:38:54

3M ago1:38:54

1:38:54

If John's specialty in deep history weren't valuable enough to understand how our culture's dominance hierarchy formed from the material conditions of the dawn of agriculture, he also specializes in American history, including slavery from before the Revolutionary War through to the Thirteenth Amendment. We start with his sharing what drew him to t…

You'll hear Tony's story of rolling up his sleeves and doing some hard labor. You'll also hear the labor being just the start of the reward. He shares about the less tangible but not lesser results in community, emotional reward, enthusiasm to do more. Given his leadership role and experience, we talk about the Spodek Method. I took the liberty of …

740: Christopher Ketcham, part 3: Inside the mind of an “ecoterrorist” 1:10:53

4M ago1:10:53

1:10:53

I was reading Harper's magazine and Christopher's story was on the cover: Inside the mind of an “ecoterrorist”! It begins In the summer of 2016, a fifty-seven-year-old Texan named Stephen McRae drove east out of the rainforests of Oregon and into the vast expanse of the Great Basin. His plan was to commit sabotage. First up was a coal-burning power…

739: John Brooke, part 1: Deep history and how our culture formed 1:28:45

4M ago1:28:45

1:28:45

Greenhouse gas and ocean plastic levels don't rise on their own. The cause of our environmental problems is our behavior, which results from our culture. The world's dominant culture pollutes, depletes, addicts, and imperially takes over other cultures. Yet each person wants clean air, land, water, and food. How did humans create a culture that man…

738: Jacqueline Bicanic, part 2: Sustainability doesn't cost time and energy, it gives it 1:02:23

4M ago1:02:23

1:02:23

People complain they don't have time, money, or energy to live more sustainably, I think because marketers see the demand so come up with things to sell people to address the demand. Since neither buyer nor seller understand how nature or systems work, the offerings don't help sustainability. Meanwhile, high demand and low supply means high prices,…

Counter-Punch Theory, w/ LTC Craig Broyles (E20) 34:52

4M ago34:52

LTC Broyles discusses his "Counter-Punch" Theory of warfare and how we can use it as a offensively minded, but defensively postured military force.

I follow podcast guest Maya Van Rossum on her work on constitutional amendments protecting a clean environment. You may have heard of the legal victory in Montana, Held versus Montana, earlier this year (yay!), Montana being one of the three states with such an amendment. Maya appeared on a panel, Securing Climate Justice Through Green Amendments: …

736: Mattan Griffel, part 1: Online opioid addiction treatment that (actually) works 1:05:06

5M ago1:05:06

1:05:06

Regular listeners know I focus on understanding addiction. I see people in my neighborhood and in headlines nearly daily addicted to heroin, fentanyl, meth, and crack. Since our culture promotes craving and dependence as what many would call "good business," I see people on those drugs not as outliers or anomalies from culture. I see them as slight…

735: Casey Mahoney, part 1: A Jazz Musician Lowering His Impact to 3 Tons CO2/Year in L.A. 1:13:45

5M ago1:13:45

1:13:45

Casey is a longtime friend. One day a few months ago he mentioned in a call he was choosing to lower his carbon footprint to a few tons of CO2 per year. I hadn't been trying to lead or persuade him, so I started asking him why, what prompted him, was it hard in Los Angeles where people drive everywhere and some people say they need air conditioning…

734: Alon Tal, part 1: Israel, Hamas, and overpopulation from a former Knesset member 1:00:03

5M ago1:00:03

1:00:03

Last month I read Hamas-Israel story from an angle few will touch, but is critical: overpopulation, which I wrote about in my post Overpopulation in Israel and Gaza. The population in Israel and Palestine have both more than quintupled since 1950. There are plenty of sources of problems there, but not many places can handle that kind of growth, esp…

5M ago1:19:22

1:19:22

Jacquie emailed me that this podcast is inspiring her. She wrote that she'd "always had a spark of interest in sustainability, but I mostly followed the herd mentality and went about my life not really making a conscious effort & just thinking about ways I could reduce my impacts. In the last couple of years, it’s like jet fuel has been added to th…
