Please Blow My Mind

We are often told to ‘speak up’ and ‘use our voice’ but for many of us, the reality is that we spend way more time articulating ourselves in the digital realm instead of real-life and as we are finding out, not communicating is having catastrophic consequences in our modern world. Daryl Habraken uses his voice as a tool, as his instrument, he uses his voice for a living and in my opinion is one of the best people to talk to about the complicated society that we live in today. In scary times maybe the best people to listen to are the people that talk for a living.

Every week I go deep with my guests on the podcast with conversations that allow us to travel to the edge of our own understanding and back again. Sometimes it takes days for those lessons to sink into my brain so I’ve decided to start an offshoot series called GOING DEEPER with the goal of further analysing the lessons and ideas that I’m taking in during these mind-blowing conversations. In this episode of GOING DEEPER, I reflect on my learnings around the bystander effect and what I did to not freeze up with fear in three very real word scenarios.

With a seemingly unlimited about of bad news just one click away, it can feel like our world is melting from the inside out and we have front row seats to the impending doom. So where can we turn for hope? Ira Munn is a Man full of hope and he shares that hope through his story of leaving America in search of a better life in New Zealand. It turns out that hope might be built in us and all we need to do is to critically think it out of our mind into the real world and who knows, it might just save us and the world we live in.
