BREAK 1

BREAK 2

To be successful in business you need to be tough, unrelenting, ruthless…a shark, right? That’s why one of the most successful shows about business is called, “Shark Tank”! But is there a kinder way to dominate the corporate world?

Daniel Lubetzky created his self-made-multi-billions with one overriding agenda – to foster connection, understanding and most importantly, to promote kindness between people who are in conflict. Best known as the founder of KIND Snacks…in this episode he discusses how he almost made a $200 million dollar mistake, what it took to make Kind a successful brand, and his many charitable businesses, where his focus is empowering people to work across social divides, and to create real and lasting relationships.

AND…this kind man, is also the newest member of NBC’s, Shark Tank. Really no really!

What makes a Shark Tank idea investable? HINT: It’s not the product.
If divisive messages flourish on Mainstream Media, social media and in politics…how do you create a positive message that cuts through?

Shark Tank’s KINDest Shark

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/cc4f167c-3301-40d3-9119-b21f0032a983/transcript

A violent undiagnosed aneurysm should have killed Sebastian Junger, a war reporter, a best-selling author, and an Academy Award winning documentarian. Junger came as close as anyone we know to dying, but he returned from the abyss and reveals what it was like.

For years Jason and Peter have heard about so-called NDE’s – near-death experiences where the clinically dead - miraculously resuscitated - come back to life with eerily familiar stories. Whether it’s long-dead relatives speaking to them from the afterlife, or encountering an enormous tunnel, illuminated by a brilliant, welcoming light…. are these stories evidence of a “Great Beyond”, or simply wild spasms of a dying brain? After Junger’s NDE, he launched an investigation and uncovered a possible third answer that may expand our understanding of the universe itself. Really, no really.

***

IN THIS EPISODE:
The visions he saw that changed his conception of the universe.
Who encouraged him toward the void?
What causes similar near-death experiences… God or spasms of a dying brain?
Panpsychism: A scientific explanation of a possible and universal post-life existence.
Anxiety, derealization & depression, why Sebastian Junger doubted he was alive.
He was an atheist…now?
Jason and Peter share their out of body experiences.
Googleheim: Other things we just can’t know.

What Really Happens When We Die - What One Man Saw on the Other Side

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/cf74ca10-a472-43af-bbec-b21701595815/transcript

There is a growing phenomenon in the world of extreme fighting you might not be aware of. Of course there’s boxing, wrestling and mixed martial arts… but for people who want something more dangerous, more brutal…a sport that affords an opportunity to hit…or be hit with a sword, a mace, or even a battle axe - there’s now…Medieval Fighting! Really, no really!

Jason and Peter wondered why seemingly average Joes would spend thousands of dollars on armor and 14th century weaponry and travel the globe for an opportunity to fight in this brutal way. So, they turned to Simon Rohrich, a multiple world champion and expert in Medieval Fighting.

By day, Simon is an Arizona based inventor and technology consultant… but his other persona is, Baron Josef Donnerbauch, who is proficient in staff, axe and longsword armored combat, close quarters fighting, and grappling. He discusses the growing appeal of Medieval Fighting, how it may help war veterans suffering from PTSD, and what it felt like to have a large axe imbedded in his skull!

***

IN THIS EPISODE:
What exactly is Medieval Fighting and what are the rules?
Rumors of infiltration by the Russian mob.
Prize money?
How protective is the hardened steel armor?
That time an axe ended up lodged in Simon’s skull.
What draws someone to this sport? Spoiler Alert: Trauma awaits ye!
How this sport may help war veterans dealing with PTSD.
Who’s tougher… Jason or Peter (The analysis might surprise you)
GoogleHEIM: Medieval myths debunked!
