Food, Farming, and Health with 63rd St. Farmers Brian and Amanda Scott

Health and wellness are really bigger than us as individuals. The health of our earth, our relationship with earth and the food we eat, and the people who grow the food are all interconnected. It felt meaningful and important for me to at some point, bring some farmers to podcast.

Rebirthing Masculinity

And, perhaps more relevant to our conversation today that I stand before you as a cis-gendered upper middle class white male of Jewish decent. That carries an array of impacts on my lived experience and therefor what I share and how I share and what we do here together. We’re exploring a topic that for many people is charged and involves hurt and pain as well as love and goodness. I stand here humbly and fully aware of my limitations (including how much time we have). And so I apologize in advance if anything I say is in any way hurtful or harmful and request that you reach out and connect and help me understand and grow if that happens.

And finally, I’d like to just say explicitly that masculinity and patriarchy (from where I stand) are two very different things, although entangled. My hope that as we rebirth masculinity we contribute the crumbling of the patriarchy… and in that note, let’s dive in.

The Eagerness of Spring

I hope you're enjoying the way the spring is beckoning growth... with warm sun and cold wet rain and snow. There's a lot of change happening out there. It can be hard to digest it all.

I've been trying to find the moments where I can pause and slow things down to make it all feel more manageable.

I've been sitting with questions around urgency and rushing and business. I'm noticing how the buzzy anxiety that arises in my system when I run "the list" through my head actually freezes me up and slows me down…
