Anne Riley, armed with an MBA, scientific wit, experience in multiple industries, and the mind of a curious philosopher - has been on a lifelong quest to understand how humans logically fit into life's panorama. Spending much of her time studying the works of Charles Darwin, Stephen Jay Gould, and Michael Rothschild (among many others), and immersing herself in the basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, economics, and government - all gave her the foundation for a new way of thinking about humans - and has arrived with her new book to encapsulate these concepts - "The Human Idea - Earths Newest Ecosystem"
Anne's book flips humanity's attention upon itself and builds to uncover the essence of what it means to be human. This podcast episode explores the profound inquiries of why we are here and how our capacity for thought distinguishes us from other species. Riley invites us on a journey through the tapestry of life, blending scientific acumen with philosophical depth to illuminate how the survival tactics refined over eons can inform our modern challenges. Discover in Anne's book "The Human Idea":
The Ecosystem of Life: Insights into the vast web of life that connects us all, tracing our evolutionary path to understand our place within it.
The Power of Ideas: Exploring the uniquely human trait of ideation, fostering both our greatest triumphs and our most pressing dilemmas.
The Ideasphere: Riley's innovative concept of the ideasphere, a lens through which we can view human society and leverage this understanding for sustainable progress.

Anne Riley's narrative is more than a contemplation on our origins; it's a clarion call for our future. Facing existential crises like climate change and social divides, "The Human Idea" provides a blueprint for harnessing nature's lessons to forge a path toward a more harmonious existence. Join us for this enlightening conversation, about the human ecosystem. Episode 108 with Anne Riley - Always Evolution Occurs.

Meredith and Craig Bennett are relationship coaches. Awhile back, at the exact same time, they both left their corporate jobs to pursue being entrepreneurs - they jumped right into real estate, and bombed quickly. And it turned out to be exactly what they needed to head them down a road right back to themselves. They stop by The Junkyard Love Podcast to chat about their pillars for building a dream marriage, how to approach difficult conversations, tactical use of expression, examples of questions all marriages can ask, loss of intimacy, feeling disconnected, feeling like roommates, being intentional in our marriage, the art of working as a team, not getting lost in hyperbole, having a 200% marriage mindset, and more.

Here's a blip from their page:

"Through it all, we’ve developed a growth mindset, and grew exponentially as individuals, we built businesses, most of which sucked, got in the best shape of our lives in our forties, and did all of it while strengthening our marriage and making it bulletproof.
Our marriage is the foundation for everything else we build in our lives. It is a cheat code for life, and we believe that having that dialed in helps every other facet of life and that has become our passion.
Now we focus on helping other entrepreneurs live their dream life and that starts with having that rock-solid relationship where you don’t need to spend valuable time and energy repairing a relationship.
When you have that dialed in it only requires maintenance which leaves so much time and energy to focus on building the life and business of your dreams."

In this episode I talk with Alicia and Erwan Davon - who use their backgrounds in Zen Buddhism, Psychology, and women’s sexuality studies to teach couples and singles how to lead ideal love lives. They provide a safe place to explore psychological inquiry, pleasure, and sexuality. Recently their work has focused on pandemic-related intimacy issues with singles (dating, intimacy during the pandemic) and couples (physically close but losing connection). Although their techniques are grounded in Eastern practice and non-traditional sensual intelligence, they teach students within the context of the west - grounded psychological understanding of the root issues and addressing them using tools that suit the client best - change of diet, organizing time for intimacy, touching practices, chemistry, and focus on masculine and feminine energies, sexual skills, meditation practices, and much more. We cover some great areas and gain a lot of helpful tips and tricks for humans at all stages of life. They’ve got workshops, online courses, a great youtube channel, and you can checkout their website here: https://erwandavon.com/about/ If you want to learn more simply send ‘em a text with your name to (+1) 415 308 9580 - say you heard about them on the podcast and you’re interested in learning more!

An important series introduction is presented in the form of a short audio essay that exists in the first ten minutes of this episode. I encourage you to listen for a better understanding of what to expect. In this coming series of episodes, Spencer and I will attempt to make sense of what is going on in our world to cause such division and confusion amongst neighbors and fellow humans. We will stumble and ramble our way to formulating the questions that need asking and the answers that present themselves. We will try to police our own bias and emotional states, our own judgments, our wrong assessments, and our own blind spots. As new problems emerge for the human condition - we must present and practice new ways of conversation and problem-solving. Neither of us claims to be fully right, to be the most educated, to know the most truths, nor to have the correct psychosomatic tools. But we embark on this multiple part series because it is difficult, important, and we just don’t see many trying to meet the confusions from this lens of perception. Rather than claim the ability to educate the listeners - we hope to usher in individual epiphany by way of exploring and widening our own thoughts. These conversations will undoubtedly be messy at first, but as we determine the correct definitions and jump from stepping stone to stepping stone - we hope the path shows itself and the journey creates sparks of wisdom for different types of listeners at different points of their lives along the way. We have no grandiose ideas of being special, omniscient, or even particularly wise on the subject of sense-making itself - but we choose to pick up our swords and proceed towards the battlefield nonetheless. If individual sovereignty formulates group coherence and strengthens our human ability to process information and make sense of moderns life's complexities - this is the way. In an effort to better understand the division and changing times we are faced with as humanity and civilization - following every episode, Spencer and I will assess what we did wrong, what went right, what could be explained better, what could be thought more in-depth about, how we can discuss what's important for the next episode, and how we can continuously adjust our conversation style and subjects to better explain our findings and ideas for the next conversation. Here we propose that there is a sense-making crisis, we discuss the meaning of truth, self-sovereignty, dogma, bias, thesis as a human, obtaining a why, meeting each other at the wrong playing fields, types of conversation, examples from the political climate and much more. This chat seemed to set a decent groundwork for where we can go next. The map will form itself and we are hopeful the territory will present soon after. These episodes (we hope) will become more formulated and precise as we progress. Enjoy your day and go out of your way to be nice to someone whos not like you. Cheers

In 2015 Rikki went under the knife for the 'gummy bear' breast implants. The following years brought her heart palpitations, blurry vision, sensitive touch, hair loss, eczema, depression, anxiety n' loads more. She's since had the 'toxic bags' removed - and she openly and bravely shares her rollercoaster experience here on the podcast. In this episode, we travel through Rikki's life - from Woodland to living in Hawaii, L.A. and now Canada, we talk about her life as a hockey player's girlfriend, our favorite music, our first phones, and our growing small town mind perspective. Rikki and I discuss re-connecting to the body physically and mentally and we talk anti-depressants, protective scar-tissue, pilates, our societies relationship with plastic surgery, the imprint that social media leaves on our minds, and stroking the ego with outward appearance. We light up a fire section on the mind-body connection at the gym, intrusive thoughts, OCD, feeling bad about bad thoughts, panic disorders, and watching too much True Crime shit. We get ethereal... casually and playfully diving into things like - ghost stories, meditations, past lives, evolution, aliens, ghosts, consciousness, the ocean, alternate realities, and of course dinosaurs. We share our reiki and Medium experiences and send it off with some freaky tales. Rikki and I had a blast doing this one. She's dauntlessly courageous for sharing the personal ups and downs of her human voyage and I'm massively grateful to hold any space for that sort of thing to be heard. If you enjoyed the episode, consider hitting the 'like' option or leaving a review. Find Rikki on Instagram @rikki_hall and we'll see ya back here next week, peace and love! Some savage quotes from Rikki this episode - “As soon as I woke up from my surgery, I could breathe” “Am I ever gonna be satisfied? No, but love your body for what it is” “You really have to find that healthy relationship with how you look and what you eat and how you wanna treat yourself and your body and your mind” “When bad thoughts come in, we over-analyze it, but when good thoughts come in, we don’t even think about it.” “We’re just too aware of being alive” “Because you’re aware of it, you’re not gonna do it” “It’s so hard when someone doesn’t understand your anxiety. If you wanna talk about intrusive thoughts, and they call you crazy, say you’re wild.. but when somebody does (want to talk about it), it makes you feel so much better.”
