    Ep 49 Jay Stevens - Everest Base Camp

    In December 2023 Jay Stevens walked to Everest Base Camp via the traditional route from the town of Lukla. In doing so he became the first paraplegic to walk to Mount Everest base camp without a wheelchair.  It was a journey full of belly aching laughs, incredible determination and a dream driven by the overpowering need to keep getting after it. Jay showed unwavering energy and enthusiasm during the EBC trek, he blew us away with his positivity and desire to keep moving long after the sun had set each day.  Our chat with Jay will let you into his world, uncovering the reasons why his motivation burns so bright and how he could achieve such an incredible feat.    Prepare to meet Jay Stevens!   Links to further connect with JayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jds85mana/ Channel 9 News Exclusive: https://www.9news.com.au/national/sydney-jay-stevens-paralysed-mount-everest/291375d0-c11d-4c96-9a2b-034012720473    STOKELY - A creative endeavour to ensure we maintain the art of conversation. iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/stokely/id1501022663Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6xqQAWjp8y1Mk8y3WxfkDt Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/ea/pb-9csay-d50ff2

    Ep 47 Helena Norberg-Hodge - The Economics of Happiness

    Linguist, author and film-maker, Helena Norberg-Hodge. Helena is the founder and director of the international non-profit organisation, Local Futures, a pioneer of the new economy movement, and the creator of World Localization Day. Her work, spanning almost half a century, has received the support of a wide range of international figures, including Jane Goodall and HH the Dalai Lama.   To provide greater context to this conversation and the work of Helena and Local Futures, we'd highly recommend watching two of Helena's films; Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh and ‘The Economics of Happiness’. Both are incredible award-winning documentaries. And a lot of conversation during this conversation was predicated on these two pieces of film.   And finally, her most recent book, Local is Our Future: Steps to an Economics of Happiness, outlines how a systemic economic shift from global to local can address the world’s social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises.    Links for Helena Norberg-Hodge Website- https://www.localfutures.org/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/localfutures_/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/LocalFutures.TheEconomicsofHappiness YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/user/ISECeconofhappiness We invite you to join us in acknowledging the traditional custodians upon the lands where this podcast is created and listened to.
