Sports Action & Image Workflow for the Paris Games, with Maddie Meyer & James Chance 1:08:34

1h ago1:08:34

1:08:34

Sports enthusiasts from around the world will soon be glued to their nearest viewing screen, watching the action unfold during the international Summer Olympic Games in Paris. But how much do you know about the finer points of photographing elite level competition, or about the lightning-fast, high-tech journey these images make from inside a camer…

768: Trish and Evelyn, part 2: The birth of sustainability awards 51:02

19h ago51:02

51:02

Trish and Evelyn took the workshop, and neither seriously acted on sustainability before it, so one thing to listen for in this conversation is what people who look at personally living more sustainably sound like. I think it's safe to say we have fun. Partly we express exasperation at the depravity of our polluting and depleting culture. We also s…

767: Andrew Bennett, part 2: Behind the scenes with a New York City chef 47:13

1h ago47:13

47:13

If you like food, you'll love this episode. I shared before how unbelievably delicious Andrew's food was, even if it were at a top restaurant. But he works at a hospital, so it was healthy too. I almost don't go to restaurants any more since they just pile salt, sugar, and fat onto everything. I don't need a stick of butter in every dish. I also ta…

766: Chip Conley, part 1: Learning to Love Midlife 46:52

2d ago46:52

46:52

I'd heard about Chip long ago but only met him recently at a launch event for his book Learning to Love Midlife. It resonated since at 52 years old, I was smack in the middle of the part of life he was talking about, after adulthood but before old age. I've also been approached by universities with programs for people in their third acts. A big top…

765: Bruce Alexander, part 2: Can the Spodek Method scale from the individual to the world? 1:19:00

3d ago1:19:00

1:19:00

I think I can safely say Bruce and I have formed a friendship, both professional and from similar interests, even though he's retired and I'm not a psychologist. I learn psychology to help lead. We're both intrigued by addiction. We both want to improve our environmental situation, not just give in. He likes the idea of the Spodek Method. He hopes …

764: Erica Frank, part 2: "No Hairshirt At All." Instead: Abundance 1:02:13

8d ago1:02:13

1:02:13

I rarely get to talk to people who expect living more sustainably to be joyful and rewarding from personal experience, not just hoping for the best. I enjoyed sharing that perspective with Erica last time, I invited her back with no specific agenda. This episode presents conversation between two people who have left mainstream culture and are livin…

Picturing World Cultures: Pablo Bartholomew—India 1:22:10

9d ago1:22:10

1:22:10

A photographer’s success hinges on access. This is an underlying thread in the tapestry woven in this week’s show. Our discussion covers multiple facets and cultural attributes of Indian society, as seen through the eyes of a photographer with a knack for being in the right place at the right time. In this month’s episode of the series, Picturing W…

763: Guy Spier, part 2: Limited government, free market, low tax sustainability solutions 1:27:25

19d ago1:27:25

1:27:25

I loved where this conversation led. We began by talking about recent news: Greta Thunberg taking a political stand and acting publicly on it on an issue unrelated to the environment. Guy described how he saw this action distracting and undermining her credibility in sustainability. We got to talking about overwhelming tribalism today. In the proce…

762: Chef Andrew Bennett: Changing the Culture of Hospital Food 1:12:29

22d ago1:12:29

1:12:29

I start my conversation with Andy with what brought me to him: the meal after recording with the guy who hired him, podcast guest Sven Gierlinger, and the Washington Post article that read like a paid ad for their food, Hospital food is a punchline. These chefs are redefining it. I didn't record in my conversation with Sven how off-the-charts the f…

Pictures from the Inside: Seeing Fascination Everywhere, with Chantal Zakari & Nigel Poor 1:24:20

24d ago1:24:20

1:24:20

Most people’s perception of prison life revolves around sensationalized news stories and Hollywood movies depicting drab, inhospitable environments far outside our reach. In today’s show, we’re challenging that view in a chat with two educators who use photography as a framework for teaching visual literacy and the art of storytelling to incarcerat…

761: Dave Kerpen, part 2: Joyfully Skipping Donuts 23:04

25d ago23:04

23:04

This conversation was brief, but covered the important points, particularly the challenges of changing habits. Dave didn't do everything he intended, though I thought he succeeded more than he did. The goal of the Spodek Method isn't to make big changes, though some do, but to share and act on intrinsic motivation relevant to nature and the environ…

760: Adam Alter: Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked 52:42

1M ago52:42

52:42

Adam treats dependence and addiction in some ways different and unique than past guests who have covered addiction. One way is the business side. For example, early in this conversation, he talks about how people at companies that create products designed to addict, like cell phones, tablets, and the apps and games on them, don't allow their childr…

759: Bruce Alexander, part 1: Rat Park, Addiction, and Sustainability 1:02:18

1M ago1:02:18

1:02:18

I start by describing how podcast guest Carl Erik Fisher, author of bestseller The Urge, reviewed my upcoming book Sustainability Simplified as a subject matter expert on addiction. Carl mentioned how my book suffered from what Bruce describes as the demon drug myth. He pointed to Bruce's work as seminal, so I started reading it. I'd heard of Rat P…

Picturing World Cultures: Juan Brenner - Guatemala 1:12:54

1:12:54

Documenting a culture can be a daunting process, especially when it involves a history of conquest and colonialism. Synthesizing such a complex and traumatic past in a contemporary narrative is a formidable task, requiring extensive researchh and dedicated planning. This is the back story to today’s podcast.

758: Peter Singer, part 2: A philosopher approaches sustainability 46:43

1M ago46:43

46:43

I started by sharing my experience giving after reading Peter's book The Life You Can Save. I confess I only read it after our first conversation, but loved it. I feared reading a book by an academic philosopher arguing a point would be dry and boring. Instead it led me to donate to causes. Then, even though I didn't donate for recognition or perso…

757: Dr. Anna Lembke, part 1: Dopamine Nation 39:14

2M ago39:14

39:14

Regular listeners know I see our relationships with many activities that are enabled by pollution as behavioral addictions like gambling or playing video games. Thus, I bring experts in addiction. Anna's book Dopamine Nation is one of the most accessible I've read. She covers the scale of addiction, how much it's increasing, how it works, her perso…

Larger than Life: Julia Blaukopf’s Custom Photographic Wall Decor 1:00:44

1:00:44

Julia Blaukopf is not afraid to think big, particularly when it comes to her photographs. She’s also not afraid of blurring the lines between fine art and commercial enterprise. Equal parts photographer, designer, visual artist, and entrepreneur, Julia is the founder of Fotografica—an arts-products venture with the goal of re-envisioning options fo…

48:43

Kimberly has, by dramatically reducing her flying, improved her life, living more deliberately and consistent with her values. I met her when she was a panelist at an event on promoting hurting people less by flying less. I invited her as someone to explore her journey of reducing her flying. In our conversation, the shared how she went from learni…

755: Stefan Gössling: Busting self-serving myths about flying 1:03:42

2M ago1:03:42

1:03:42

People who fly think most people fly, but it's more like a few percent. A small fraction of people fly, let alone across oceans or multiple times per year. If you fly, it's probably your action that hurts people most through its environmental impact, but you probably rationalize and justify it. Unlike many other polluting activities, most of the mo…

NYC Artist Lofts & Brooklyn Rooftops, with Joshua Charow & Josh Katz 1:02:54

2M ago1:02:54

1:02:54

How much do you know about New York City’s 1982 Loft Law, which established a process for artists to obtain legal occupancy of the raw industrial spaces they inhabited, while also providing rent stabilization and protection from future eviction? Or the pigeon fanciers who were once a fixture across the rooftops of Brooklyn and remain valued as neig…

754: (Aunt) Trish Ellis and (Niece) Evelyn Wallace, part 1: Not Even Cancer Holds Her Back 1:16:14

2M ago1:16:14

1:16:14

"What I do doesn't matter" is one of the more common sentiments of our time. We use it to avoid acting when we see problems. A similar rationalization not to act: "I have faith that younger people will solve our environmental problems. After all they will be affected more." People say these things to avoid acting, avoiding personal responsibility. …

Picturing World Cultures: Maxim Dondyuk - Ukraine 1:18:11

3M ago1:18:11

1:18:11

The dictionary defines culture as “the way of life for an entire society.” But sometimes larger forces create rifts within the whole, inevitably leading to a confrontation between factions. A prime example of this cultural struggle is playing out today within the cities and villages of Ukraine, the focus of today’s episode. Above photograph © Maxim…
