    S0E02 The Rhythms That Shape Us: A Special Solo Episode | Adi Cohen

    What if we stopped racing against time and started dancing with it? A year ago, I did an experiment. After years of chasing the sun, I let winter pull me in. I stayed. I listened. I let the darkness stretch, the quiet deepen. And in that stillness, something unexpected happened- I saw more. This episode is about rhythms. The ones we inherit, the ones we resist, and the ones we choose to embrace. It’s about what the Khasi people taught me about patience, what Guatemalan women showed me about the moon, and how a break in the clouds revealed the Northern Lights when I least expected it. Season 5 of the podcast took me across three continents: into the misty jungles of Meghalaya, the rooftops of Tangier, the fjords of Norway. Some conversations unfolded in cozy rooms; others were shaped by the elements, where wind, water, and city hums became part of the dialogue. Each guest offered a thread, weaving together a larger story about time, rhythms, and the way we shape the world around us – and in its turn – it shapes us back. In this solo episode, I step back to reflect. On how movement and rest exist in tandem. On the unseen cycles shaping our lives. On the artists, architects, and thinkers who reminded me that the most profound creations don’t fight time—they move with it. So, here is a question: What happens when we align with the rhythms of the world, rather than forcing our own? What if we designed our lives - not for speed, but for harmony? Let’s explore.

    S05E10 Radical Hope and Practical Utopias with Anne Beate Hovind | Future Library Project

    What does it take to create something that lasts 100 years? To dream so big that the future feels close enough to touch? Anne Beate Hovind knows. She commissions art in public spaces, but not just any art – meaningful actions of positive disruptions, geared with radical hope. Projects like the Future Library, where trees are growing today to one day become books for people not yet born, and Losæter, a communal urban farm reimagined as art. With two decades of experience at the crossroads of culture, business, and public spaces, Anne Beate transforms cities from the heart outward, encouraging us all to think bigger, dream bolder, and act braver. In this episode, we explore the story of the Future Library Project and what it takes to commission art for a century-long project. How taking risks can lead to the magic of the unexpected, and might we embrace the much-needed dance between linear and explorative thinking. If you’ve ever wondered how imagination can shape the future, and what it really means to be a good ancestor - this episode is for you. How good is it? We recorded it twice!

    S05E09 In Conversation with the Land: The Philosophy of Wonder with Martin Lee Mueller | ANCEP

    What does it mean to truly be “in” a place? In Norwegian, the phrase for being outdoors translates to "being in" - a profound reminder of our inherent connection to the world around us. Today’s guest, Martin Lee Mueller, holds a PhD in philosophy and serves as the General Secretary for the Arne Næss Center for Ecology and Philosophy in Oslo, Norway. A philosopher, author, and storyteller, his work invites us to rediscover our reciprocal relationship with nature. This episode was recorded outdoors, in conversation with the land. Among the topics we explored: How to tune into a place. The transformative questions that led Martin to the Nordic landscape and shaped his understanding of the interplay between culture and place. Deep ecology as a Nordic branch of earth philosophy, inspired by Arne Næss and his love for the land. The lessons lichen, salmon, and other elements of the natural world offer in challenging the notion of human separation and superiority. Philosophy as a path to personal and collective liberation, breaking free from habits that no longer serve vitality. The importance of raising generations capable of independent thought. Martin also shares insights into the Arne Næss Center’s mission to build a school that take us from wonder to wisdom and his vision of 100 years of listening. If you’re curious about deepening your connection to the world around you, this episode is rich with inspiration and practical steps to begin. For show notes & links visit TNM official website

    S05E08 Seeds, Soil, and Us: The Interconnected Wisdom with Andrew McMillion

    What does it mean to save a seed? And how can something so small carry the potential to reshape our ecosystems - and ourselves? In today’s episode, my guest is Andrew McMillion, a regenerative farmer, teacher, and passionate seed saver. Working with the Norwegian Seed Savers, Andrew is deeply involved in preserving Nordic cultivars and creating resilient, locally adapted ecosystems. But his work doesn’t stop there. We explore the role seeds play in the broader web of life - how the health of the soil mirrors our own well-being, and how ecological science, slow solutions, and human-scale technologies can help us reconnect with the natural world. We’ll dive into permaculture, deep ecology, and the idea that by going inward, we can also transform the world around us. How does a shift in perspective - one that centers life itself - change the way we approach the environmental crises we face today? Stay until the end, where Andrew shares a poem that gave me goosebumps. For show notes & links visit TNM official website

Dominik shares Concular's journey in developing innovative processes, digital tools, and circular value chains to create a more sustainable future - from insurance products to the urban mining hub in Berlin. This episode will challenge your thinking on circular construction and its real-world applications.

    S05E05 Deep Curiosity and the Rhythms of Creation with Rinat Sherzer

    What if we celebrated ‘a night in?’ In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Rinat Sherzer, a visionary dreamer, passionate creator, and relentless advocate for both the earth and humanity. Rinat, currently a PhD candidate at RMIT, brings a wealth of experience to our conversation. She is a biotech engineer, transdisciplinary designer and artist, social entrepreneur, and educator. Rinat divides her time between teaching at Parsons School of Design in New York and serving as the Head of Design & Innovation at Wix Studio, while also giving keynote speeches worldwide. Previously, she was the Head of Design Management & Innovation at Bezalel Academy. Rinat combines principles from biomimicry and strategic design to create a cultural shift towards an egalitarian society. We explore the concept of "the rhythm of the egg"—an intriguing idea that challenges our conventional approach to life and success. Rinat’s perspective encourages us to slow down, appreciate the quieter moments, and find joy in simplicity. Is the fastest always the winner?  How can we turn inward and uncover the unique gifts within ourselves, especially in the context of Western society and the relentless summertime mindset?  In an era rife with burnout, what is truly worth chasing?  And what if we could replace fear with curiosity?  Join us to discover how we can collectively drive a cultural shift towards a more equitable and sustainable future.

    S05E04 Anthropology, Environment, and Consciousness: Insights from Hunter-Gatherer Societies with Dr. Daniel Naveh

    If I weren’t an architect, I would have become an anthropologist. My fascination with cultures from around the globe has fueled my imagination for as long as I can remember. In this episode, I had the immense pleasure of hosting someone who has profoundly expanded my understanding of hunter-gatherer societies and their worldview, and what it means for our lives today and the current state of the world.
