Play Pause

28d ago1:43:48

1:43:48

In what is likely to be the most frustrating ending ever to be covered on this podcast, we reach the finale of IMPERIAL COMMANDO: 501ST this week.

Send us a text Shawn Myszka (the “Movement Miyagi” ) returns to the pod to discuss the theme he and his NFL athletes embraced this offseason: Wu Xin, or “no-mindedness.” It’s an idea that runs throughout skill acquisition — how athletes can free themselves from rigid intentions and better attune to the “what is” in front of them. From there, we dig…

Where Nature Meets Capital: 3 Leaders Turning Nature Into a Real Asset Class (#102) 2:02:57

7d ago2:02:57

2:02:57

Most investors now accept that climate risk is financial risk. But what about nature loss? What about the fact that half of global GDP is tied to the natural world – from soil health to pollination to forest carbon – and yet almost none of that value is priced into markets? If climate was the first wake-up call, nature is the second. In this 3-in-1…

21d ago1:34:39

1:34:39

We’ve spent decades talking about the shift to renewables – building more wind, more solar, more clean energy capacity. And that’s important. But it’s also only half the story. Because once that energy is generated, what happens next is where things start to get complicated – how it's stored, how it's moved, and how much of it actually gets used. R…
