    Heather Hiscox: The Power of the Pause

    In a world that celebrates constant motion, what wisdom might we discover if we simply... paused? Heather Hiscox, founder of Pause for Change and author of "No More Status Quo," examines how our pursuit of immediate results creates a paradox in social change—we often recreate the very systems we aim to transform. This thoughtful conversation reveals how stepping back from the "move fast and break things" mentality opens space for deeper impact, and why slowing down might actually catalyze more meaningful progress. From frustrated changemakers burning out while tracking activities instead of outcomes, to the power of gathering with shared purpose that transcends individual effort, Heather offers practical frameworks for transforming how we approach complex challenges. In this episode, you'll discover: How "move fast and break things" mentality breaks people, communities, and trust (10:04)Why being a "frustrated changemaker" creates space for both anger and hope (11:44)The giant triangle of waste: how traditional problem-solving fails stakeholders (15:20)How bias shapes our approach to change work through powerful storytelling (30:04)The transformative power of leading with love and deep care in social impact (22:14)Listen now to explore what becomes possible when we create space for reflection before action, building change that serves our shared future.

    Jenny Morgan: The Moral Ecology of Climate Discourse

    In a world often divided by polarized climate discourse, how can we create meaningful accountability without resorting to cancellation? Jenny Morgan, climate strategist and author of "Cancel Culture in Climate: Polarization is Setting Our Planet on Fire," explores how our approach to climate communications can either bridge divides or deepen them. This thoughtful conversation reveals how living by core values like bravery, compassion, and discipline creates authentic climate action, and why forgiveness might be the key to both personal liberation and environmental progress. From organizational green-hushing to dichotomous thinking that limits our understanding of human complexity, Jenny offers practical frameworks for transforming how we engage across differences in the climate movement. In this episode, you'll discover: How making decisions from fear rather than confidence hinders climate progress (08:05)The crucial difference between accountability and cancel culture (19:46)Why organizations doing remarkable environmental work often stay silent (26:06)How unaddressed trauma influences our approach to climate action (35:32)The liberating power of forgiveness in climate discourse (37:06) Listen now to explore how we might approach both our human and ecological relationships with equal care, creating a moral ecology that serves our shared future.

    Waypoints — When Art Whispers What Power Forbids

    What happens when you tell an artist what they can't paint? They find a way to paint it anyway... just in code. In this Waypoint reflection, we explore how creative expression preserves cultural memory when direct communication is forbidden. Drawing inspiration from Mongolian artists who maintained their identity through political change, we consider how resistance takes form through art and how we all find ways to keep what matters alive. This is a Waypoint from The Infinite Search - brief philosophical reflections between our full-length conversations.

    Orna Tsultem: The Art of Resistance

    When a culture faces profound change, what endures? In Mongolia of the 1930s, as Buddhist monasteries were dismantled and ancient practices set aside, artists navigated a complex reality. From this transformation emerged Mongol Zurag, an art form that honored the past while engaging with a changing present. Orna Tsultem, whose father was an influential artist during Mongolia's socialist period, shares how Mongol Zurag became a space where cultural identity survived despite radical shifts. Her work bringing Mongolian art to Western institutions addresses the absence of these important stories in global conversations. This conversation reveals how creative responses to yesterday's challenges speak to our contemporary questions—environmental sustainability, cultural recognition, and how economic systems affect creative expression. In this episode, you'll discover: How Mongol Zurag preserved cultural memory when traditions were interrupted What happened when artists had to adapt to Socialist Realism Why bringing overlooked art to new audiences transforms our understanding How creativity becomes a bridge between worlds and across time Listen now to explore how art moves beyond borders and time, offering fresh perspectives on our connections with each other and the world we share.
