"If our storytellers cannot find a way then the way cannot be found".  Join Jade & Damon in this conversation about defying the attention economy, ways to avoid being numbed but the inertia of the system (which is not actually our friend - despite it being dressed up that way) and why rites of passage could be the answer to rebuilding our culture .Finally, we  ask the big question  - how do you define ENOUGH. If you've loved Damon's films 2040 & That Sugar Film you're in for one exceptionally powerful convo with this captivating  & clever creative.Episode SummaryPeople are seeking leadership that doesn’t use language without humanisationSo much of the story we are told now is dictated by extraction, competition, rivalry,The shift from humans with animus beliefs to industrialised beliefsDefining our collective stories through the feedback from our creative & soul stirring storytellersDefying the attention economy by stepping away from the barraging information torrent to allow for conscious decisionsFinding your place in action Choosing to understand rather than polarisingSlowing our judgement despite the push for pace - let a slowly defined opinion be yours Acknowledging we agree on a desire for community, healthy children, access to food….and we are not actually dividedTaking responsibility of our own individual actions and teach our children to listen & to understandWhy its NOT human nature to be greedy & selfish, because we've  evolved through a deeply cooperative, symbiotic spirit.Rewrite our culture away from competitive nature & highlight our dependency on each other Finding your path of individualism within the collective Deradicalising the truth of what we need to doConsidering context when storytelling to shift the needle Building a less fragile systemWhy it’s not a nationalist sentiment if you want sovereignty of independenceShifting from being a consumer to being a citizenBuilding wings that will allow us to fly high and thrive with our culture providing the windManifesting creativity and ingenuity by working with our kidsShaping, creating and changing culture through coexistence, lateral thinking and practical skills - starting with the education of our childrenThe dance between peril and possibility Turning emerging science into magical stories to captivate kids imaginations  Prison inmates in the States spend more time outdoors than our childrenThe ongoing process of unlearning as flawed humans Deciding what’s enough.
