On today’s episode, Joel Fariss and Chris Everett discuss their work at the Holon Institute and the new series of events they’ve been hosting called “The Poly Opportunity”. We all know there are lots of complicated, interconnected issues that make modern life difficult. It seems impossible to untangle it all. Chris and Joel seek to begin the untangling process by bringing together experts from all disciplines, from dancers and poets to scientists and entrepreneurs.Their hope is that we may find answers from unexpected sources.

In today’s episode, Paige O’Neill shares why she stepped down from her CMO role at Seismic—not to jump into the next opportunity, but to pause, reflect, and spend time horseback riding. We talk about her love of fashion, empowering women over 50, the healing power of animals, and how the loss of her mother reshaped her priorities around family, rest, and creative expression.

In today’s episode, I sat down with Matthew Linaman. Matthew is an incredible cellist based in San Francisco. He and I first connected during the production of the Lucky Podcast where he delved into the long history of his centuries-old cello. I highly recommend going to listen to that episode after this one. In this conversation, I check in with him after his years of touring around the world to discuss everything from the meditative nature of playing music, the courage it takes to ask for help from your community as an up and coming performer, to how a major loss early in his life drives him to expression through music.
