Episode notes

I think they're, and this ties into people's identity and their jobs as well. It's hard to have a solution or a suite of responses that is counter to one's built identity or their paycheck. If my job is measured in certain metrics, even if it's not a perverse fiscal incentive for me, but I can do something that will feed the kids through an environmentally unsustainable strategy. And so there, I think of that as a institutional choice architecture that is perverse to the totality of what the world needs. You don't have to be trying to solve everything, but you do have to ensure that what you're doing here is considered enough of the other areas that you're not causing

Show Summary:

On this 5th and final installment of the Bend Not Break series with Daniel Schmachtenberger, we unpack the framework and mindset needed to begin thinking about responses. This conversation touches on what it means to work on personal development in the light of a polycrisis, and how it is truly a never ending but necessary challenge. Finally, Daniel and Nate break down a 3x3 grid on time frame and category of responses.

Whilst this is the end of this series, there is, of course, much left to be unpacked. If there are any specific topics you want covered in a follow up Daniel/Nate conversation, we encourage you to leave your questions in the comments of the Youtube video, which can be found here -> https://youtu.be/Kep8Fi_rUUI
