    The Vision 2: Seeing the Other

    Can online debates really change people's minds, or do they just make us more stubborn? In this episode of 700 Days to Live, we explore the art of listening, persuasion and respectful engagement in the digital era. Online debates often descend into arguments, but what if we approached them differently? Instead of chasing 'victory', what if we valued curiosity, nuance, and understanding? In this episode, I discuss: why online debates rarely flip opinions overnight the difference between adopting new beliefs and modifying existing ones. how respectful listening can reduce hostility and foster intellectual humility. why the goal of online debate should be growth, not triumph. If you’ve ever wondered whether digital discussions can make us better listeners, more thoughtful allies and more open-minded citizens, this talk is for you!

    The Vision 1: Drops in the Ocean

    Can a small but growing online community really make a difference in today’s chaotic world? Or are we simply playing music on the deck of the Titanic? After more than 12 years of leading communities, I’ve seen first-hand how even a group of 400 people can create real change—first in the lives of individuals, then at the community level, and maybe even beyond. In this video, I explore: Why small communities matter in an age of loneliness and online toxicity The power of safe spaces and genuine dialogue in building trust and learning How movements for change have always started with a few thoughtful, committed people Why being a ‘global pessimist, local optimist’ can still spark hope in dark times This isn’t about easy answers or loud voices—it’s about listening, curiosity, and growing together. If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice in a small group can matter, this conversation is for you. Join the Journey: If this resonates with you, subscribe and be part of the 700 Days community.

    Inside the Manifestos. 3. We're all Storytellers

    Why every life carries a story, and how curiosity brings it to light? Inside every human being lives a story waiting to be told. Some are spoken, some are written, some are painted, and many remain unspoken—but all shape who we are. In this episode of 700 Days to Live, I reflect on storytelling as one of our deepest human traits. From conversations with postmen to family memories, from overlooked details to life-changing anecdotes, stories are the threads that connect us to others and to ourselves.

    Inside the Manifestos 1 - Change and the art of becoming

    Are you really living if you’re not changing every day? In this episode, I explore why embracing change is vital for personal growth, resilience and a more fulfilling life. We often reserve the phrase 'It changed my life' for major, dramatic events, but genuine transformation can occur every day. In this personal manifesto, I explain why I believe that if something doesn’t change your life on a daily basis, you’re not truly living. Drawing on ancient wisdom, such as that of the Greek god Proteus, as well as modern psychology, this video takes a deep dive into adaptability and resilience, and explains why change is not something to fear, but to embrace. Chapters: Why change is inevitable (and why resisting it is harmful). The powerful symbolism of Proteus and adaptability How to overcome the fear of the unknown and societal judgement Why small daily changes are as important as big transformations How embracing change can lead to growth, opportunity and self-discovery. Life is never static. The question isn’t whether you will change, but whether you will do so by choice or by force. Watch this video to learn how to make change your greatest ally. #700daystolive #embracechange #becomingyou    Join the Journey:  If this resonates with you, to be part of this dynamic and fast-growing global community, keep up with the news and access all future learning events, join our Circle platform here.

    Social Media: the Beauty and the Beast

    Is social media the beauty that connects us, or the beast that divides us? Here’s an honest take after 12 years online. Is social media the beauty that connects us, or the beast that divides us? In this video, I share my honest experience of using social media every day for over 12 years. I explore everything from the joy of reconnecting with old friends and building global communities to the darker sides of envy culture, trolling and political echo chambers. What impact has social media really had on our lives? Has it helped us to grow or has it trapped us in an endless cycle of scrolling? I reflect on the nostalgia of the pre-social media era, when we bought CDs, wrote letters and met face-to-face, comparing it to today's algorithm-driven world. 🔗 To be part of this dynamic and fast-growing global community, keep up with the news and access all future learning events, join our Circle platform here. 🔗 And for our sister project, spotlighting the faces, personalities, and musical tastes of Barcelona, see: @700daystolive, where the common threads are diversity and dignity.
