We are the antidote! You're not alone. Hearing role models overcome the same feelings to enjoy acting on their values creates meaning, purpose, community, and emotional reward. Want to improve as a leader? Bestselling author, 3-time TEDx speaker, leadership speaker, coach, and professor Joshua Spodek, PhD, MBA, brings joy and inspiration to acting on the environment. You'll learn to lead without relying on authority. We bring you leaders from many areas — business, politics, sports, arts, education, and more — to share their expertise for you to learn from. We then ask them to share and act on their environmental values. That's leadership without authority — so they act for their reasons, not out of guilt, blame, doom, gloom, or someone telling them what to do. Guests include: Dan Pink , 40+ million TED Talk views Marshall Goldsmith , #1-ranked leadership guru and author Frances Hesselbein , Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree, former CEO of the Girl Scouts Elizabeth Kolbert , Pulitzer Prize-winni…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-sustainable-life-924670"},"episode":{"title":"830: Jo Nemeth, part 2: Nature improves time with loved ones","slug":"830-jo-nemeth-part-2-nature-improves-time-with-loved-ones","published_at":"2025-07-30T01:25:54+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-sustainable-life-924670/830-jo-nemeth-part-2-nature-improves-time-with-loved-ones","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-sustainable-life-924670","url":"https://shows.acast.com/leadership-and-the-environment/episodes/826-jo-nemeth-part-2","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/5a481aca95dfbf9d13d4dc6f/e/6862e3e3f1f23373696d3014/media.mp3","summary":"We jumped in to talking about her Spodek Method commitment. She lives in a suburban area. There's a place near her that borders on bush, which I guess is Australian for undeveloped land. This spot with a bench designed for experiencing nature has been a short walk away from her for a long time, yet until now she never experienced it. Even this time, she put off acting on the commitment. Then she went. You'll hear what it did for her. I had to compare her description to what many people derive from big vacations to Hawaii or Bali, but she spent nothing, didn't have to plan, and didn't pollute or deplete. Her sharing about her experience recreating a wonderful past experience led to her sharing many unique challenges of living without money. Jo will lead you to think differently about your world and relationships to your loved ones and nature. Jo's home page , including her post on catatrophism we talked about Hosted on Acast.
