057: Jena Axelrod - "Absurdity of Certainty"

Thrive LouD with Lou Diamond

Jena Axelrod has been Thriving since she left the womb. She's been a stand-up comic, top-performing sales performer, amazing sales coach, and now an independent film that is turning heads.

Her surreal independent documentary, Absurdity of Certainty pokes fun of how we see the world. With theoretical quantum physicist Dr. F. David Peat we explore what it means that innovations like maps, clocks, Newton's Laws contributed to a Rise of Certainty in our thinking, and how innovations like Quantum Uncertainty and Chaos Theory lead to a Rise of Uncertainty. As The Observer and The Observed cannot be separated in quantum theory, so Director Jena Axelrod and the film crew join David's family and Pari's townspeople for discussions over shared Tuscan dinners, meals which embody the holism for which the film advocates.

Jena catches up with Lou on this fun, insightful and entertaining episode of Thrive LOUD.
