In this diverse and innovative space, we facilitate a highly collaborative, open-minded conversation diving into the issues our society faces today, while being sure to bring corresponding resolution to the forefront . We’re here to address the problems whilst collaborating on visionary solutions, as our increasingly interdependent yet fractured global society struggles through intersecting crises in these unparalleled times of change. The monetary system is at the heart of our society. It touches everything in our lives, it dictates who lives and dies. We believe a bright future for humanity is one without currency. Society is collapsing before our eyes, and there has never been a more vital or exciting opportunity to both come together for the sake of forestalling the end of human life as we know it, while also recreating life on earth as we know it.

EP #13/ Part 2 ‘Ecology and Technology’ with Helena Norberg-Hodge
Monday Sep 27, 2021
Monday Sep 27, 2021
In part two of our talk with founder of Local Futures, Helena Norberg Hodge, we move past the larger topic of localization to discuss the role and sustainability of technology in creating an ecological society. We get into a stirring debate about whether technology can be sustainably used and developed and whether it is the root of industrial decay. We posit that the system governing it, not the technology, is the real problem and discuss how technology must play a crucial role in transitioning our society.

EP #13: ‘Think Global, Act Local‘, with Helena Norberg-Hodge (Part1)
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Humankind has never been more connected, yet fractured. In Part 1 of our talk with with Helena Norberg-Hodge, bestselling author, filmmaker, activist and founder of the organization Local Futures, we discuss the destabilizing phenomenon of globalization which destroys culture and community and the subsequent reduction of biodiversity to monocultures for the profits of transnational corporations. We explore the solution: localization, as Helena describes it "an economy of happiness", which is a key transition step in the broader movement toward a sustainable and ideally, moneyless society.

Ep #12 ‘Beyond Trade: An Economy of Sharing’ with Colin Turner of Sharebay
Wednesday Sep 15, 2021
Wednesday Sep 15, 2021
"Every war of trade becomes a war of blood" -Eugene Debbs
The establishment offers you a trade: you give up your life to generate it’s profit, and in exchange you get a ruined & unlivable biosphere. Sound fair? In this episode we enlist the help of moneyless icon, Colin Turner, founder of Sharebay.org, to dig into the roots of competitive advantage and profit seeking within the mechanics of trade-- how it is no longer necessary or beneficial, and how millions of transactions that leverage advantage over time in constant accumulation have created the massive monopolies that control the world today. We discuss alternatives to trade in systems of sharing, open access, cooperatives, and the sense of meaning and purpose that comes from a voluntary and socially connected way of life beyond transactional advantage. We ask and answers some very big questions in this episode, going deep into the structure of our modes of exchange, the ways that inequality and collapse are built right into capitalism, and why money's got to go.

EP #11 ‘Reconnecting With Nature’ with Wild Quetzal
Friday Sep 10, 2021
Friday Sep 10, 2021
The rat race we all run on a daily basis has driven a wedge between humanity and the natural world. All the evidence we need is found in the destructive and exploitative relationships we've formed with the earth in the name of production and profit. Ecologically, we're committing species-wide suicide by denying the fact that we *are* the nature we've come to view as a spectacle. While we can put vast distances between our paved cities and the wilderness, we cannot ever be separate from that which we are part of. Hence why the world suffers when the Earth shows symptoms of her distress. And why we struggle as a whole - because we're fighting our very own nature by insisting on living a life of unnatural motives and outcomes. Joining us on this episode is Wild Quetzal, an indigenous citizen of Hawaii, here to talk about the vitalness and resulting rewards of repairing humanity's connection with ...itself. a.k.a. Nature. No primitive return to caveman days, required! Just ecological consciousness for the sake of humanity, the planet and our future.

EP #10 'Systems Thinking For Social Change with David P. Stroh'
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
It's easy to get swallowed up in the complexity of our ever-changing chaotic world. When trying to fix our problems all too often we end up hurting more than helping. This is because we fail to see each element of our world as a part of a larger system. Our guest, bestselling author and pioneering systems thinker David Stroh, lends his expertise to this issue and discusses his book, Systems Thinking for Social Change and the overall importance of thinking, and feeling, in an interconnected way. for-purpose world is possible if we can synthesize all the elements of social structure to intentionally design a world that values fulfillment and well-being over profit at all cost at the expense of human wellbeing and planetary sustainability.

EP #9 'A Moneyless Society: 5 Steps To Change The World'
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
In this episode we will answer the biggest questions people ask us: what's wrong with the current system, and where do we go from here. In this episode we break down exactly why capitalism is fundamentally incapable of meeting the demands of our changing world and how we can use all the technological and social advances we have to transform our apocalyptic world into an abundant, high tech society beyond anything before possible. The means to achieve a world in which life on earth isn’t stifled by the restrictions of a market economy that holds us back from achieving true efficacy and fulfillment, are already known and readily available. Join us as we focus on creating a new system by expounding on the steps that must be taken to literally save the world. In order to inhibit chaotic feedback loops, break down insidious and destructive economic structures and condition society to recognize the numerous connected fallacies of the monetary system, we must first start with analyzing the mechanisms of system design and function. From our mistakes we can emerge new and sustainable if only we accept our mistakes and begin building the post-scarcity world NOW.

Ep #8 'Anarchy' Feat. Anark
Wednesday Aug 04, 2021
Wednesday Aug 04, 2021
Tune in to hear an incendiary conversation with our special guest, Daniel Baryon (@AnarkYouTube) digging into the roots of the power that our illusory arbitrary system holds, in social hierarchy and domination, and clearing the propaganda and fearmongering around the philosophy and history of anarchism. Far from the unruly media depiction as brick throwing chaos, it is a highly academic historical discipline of dismantling the inherent corruption of all power structures to enable human autonomy and return that power to all of us in this movement toward a post scarcity future on the other side of oppression.

Ep #7 'The Structure of Destruction'
Wednesday Jul 28, 2021
Wednesday Jul 28, 2021
We all know the world is in crisis, the symptoms of collapse are undeniable: forecasts of climate doom contrast reports of good news for investors. People sleep on the sidewalks as billionaires fly to space. We are so focused on the what, we don't stop to ask: why? The answer is both incredibly complex and simple, because all that we see is an outcome of the structural design of society. In this episode we dive deep on structural awareness and systems thinking with activist, martial artist and trainer Arjang Jameh, a member of both The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project, on how changing our thinking is the key to changing the structure of our society.

EP #6 'War Is A Racket'
Wednesday Jul 21, 2021
Wednesday Jul 21, 2021
In his farewell address, President Eisenhower warned of the development and increasing power of what he called the ‘Military Industrial Complex’, the war economy and the corporations that rose to power through World War II to make war one of the biggest moneymaking enterprises in the world. In this episode we discuss the deadly feedback loop between the US military and the capitalist system that drives the expansion of its global empire all over the world. We talk with two actual veterans of the US military who have devoted their lives to studying and opposing imperialism and the system that fuels it. We cover a huge range of topics that delves deep into the heart of this monstrous topic and come away together with some powerful insights about the nature of collectivism and the changes that we can all make in our lives to join the fight against global imperialism and the daily war being waged on those living in the shadows of a hulking monster that values property over people.
