×This episode is with filmmaker Kevin Ford about his documentary The Pushback. It chronicles a diverse group of progressive voices across Texas as they fight decades of institutional racism and policies of discrimination along the border. The battle over immigrant rights, land seizures to build the border wall, and the troubled racial history of the state form the backdrop to a film that explores how a place once known for its reactionary politics is becoming more liberal, more diverse — and more at risk for violent conflict.

Aran talks with Sasha Nagler, one of his former millennial students, about the phenomena of irony poisoning pervading her generation. Irony poisoning develops when heavy social media users become too ensconced in the ironic detachment that defines much of online discourse. This can come to influence one's offline worldview as well. In extreme cases, ironic jokes can morph into sincerely held beliefs. Aran and Sasha talk about examples of irony poisoning, what factors lead to this kind of unhealthy ironic detachment, and what can be done to stem this tide of meaninglessness.…
What does it mean to be wise at work? In this conversation Aran talk with Iris Krause, Chief Finance and Operations Officer at Wisdom Labs, an organization that delivers science-based wellbeing solutions that drive productivity, thoughtful leadership, and meaningful success in the workplace.
Aran talks with filmmaker, Kevin Ford, about his latest documentary, Kind of Blue. Kind of Blue explores the political tide changes in Texas and how they might effect the 2020 elections. For decades Texas has been a reliable Conservative stronghold, the ultimate red state. But with massive changes in the state’s demographics and 38 electoral votes at stake — the second largest number in the U.S. — even the slightest shift in the political climate could turn Texas into a blue state and could change the future of the United States. KIND OF BLUE looks at a diverse group of Texans — ranchers, politicians, law enforcement officers, activists, healthcare workers, lawyers, journalists, business leaders, teachers, artists, and many more — juxtaposing their personal stories with cinematic vignettes of their communities. These are people who defy the stereotypes of what it means to be Texan, who oppose policies of the Trump Administration. These are people defending human rights, defying land seizures for a wall, protecting the environment, and campaigning for social justice. https://www.kindofbluedoc.com/…

Today’s episode is truly unique. I interviewed my two senior philosophy classes about what they found most meaningful about our course this semester: The Wisdom of Chaos - which uses chaos science as a metaphor for self-cultivation. When most of us think of chaos, words like randomness, disorder, disruptions, and uncertainty come to mind - which we try to avoid like a zombie apocalypse. So it’s hard to imagine that anything good or wise can come from it. Yet Chaos theory has demonstrated that nature uses randomness, disorder and disruptions to create stellar nurseries, weather patterns, coral reefs, and new adaptive traits in organism. Chaos theory reveals that instead of resisting life’s uncertainties and randomness, we should embrace the creative potential they offer. This podcast is structured around themes. To jump to a particular theme, e.g. Creativity, Flow, Time, etc., click on the corresponding theme in the comments section and you'll be taken to that part of the podcast.…
