  • Your Natural Paradigm - With Denise DeLuca Founder of Wild Hazel
    Nov 26 2023

    In this episode, Frank and Rodney chat with Denise DeLuca. Together, they explore what Denise calls the 'Conventional Paradigm' and how this way of living and being (aka the 'real world') lies at the heart of many of our current global challenges.

  • Forgiving Humanity - With President of Science & NonDuality Peter Russell
    Nov 2 2023

    In this episode Rodney and Frank talk to Peter Russell. Peter is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest, and President of Science and NonDuality.

    Together, we discuss the thesis of his new book, Forgiving Humanity, where Peter explores why has the most innovative of species on this planet, humans, become so dangerous. The answer, he argues, lies in humanity's accelerating pace of development. The greater the pace of change, the greater the stress and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams.

    We explore with Peter how can we live with exponential change? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? And what does it mean for the future of humanity?
