It was an honour and a pleasure to speak at the Better Way Conference this weekend. The gathering brought together 65+ leaders for health from around the world for three exciting days of learning, exploring, creating, and collaborating. During this LIVE episode, I will be unpacking some of the learning and insights from the conference, and looking for ways we can activate our audience and members in the work ahead.

In this interview, we cover David's “Five Stages of Empire” model and the dramatic ramifications, including the growing risks of a World War in the next 5 years as conflict escalates and empires collide.

With growing geopolitical tensions, inflation out of control and a rapidly accelerating downward economic spiral many are rightly concerned for our future. To address these issues I am joined by David Murrin, founder of Global Forecaster, who is renowned for the development of unique human behavioural and economic models. when combined with a geopolitical overlay, have a most impressive track record at predicting economic and political outcomes. In this interview, we cover David's “Five Stages of Empire” model and the dramatic ramifications, including the growing risks of a World War in the next 5 years as conflict escalates and empires collide. Whilst it may all sound doom and gloom, our hope is that by making more informed choices, we can avoid destructive cycles and create positive and actionable strategies for the future.

In this episode, I am joined by Alex Thomson from UK Column to examine the geopolitical history of Ukraine to help understand why the war has broken out at this particular time. We will look at the mainstream media's role in portraying the conflict in addition to the incentive structures and economic interests of the West that could perpetuate the war. Alex Thompson specialises in geopolitics, religious affairs and constitutional matters and has presented his emerging findings via the Eastern Approaches channel on UK Column News since 2014.

As the world begins to resume some form of "normality", many would argue that we are witnessing a continuation of the challenges to civil liberties, democracy and human rights that were experienced throughout the world during the pandemic, in addition to rising costs of living, inflation and other economic challenges in the wake of Covid-19.

With ongoing conflict in the world, from warfare to tribalism, in this episode, we explore whether finding inner peace within ourselves can eventually cultivate outer peace in the world.

As the world begins to resume some form of "normality" we continue to witness challenges to civil liberties, democracy and human rights as western liberal culture comes under attack. It is also evident that many global centralised organisations such as the World Economic Forum are advancing their efforts to capitalise upon the crisis and drive forward the idea of a new social contract. To unpack these issues I am joined by Jeffrey A Tucker, founder and president of the Brownstone Institute. He is a Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Austrian Economics Centre in Vienna, a research fellow of the RMIT Blockchain Study Group, a columnist at Forbes, and founder of Liberty.me.

With ongoing conflict in the world, from warfare to tribalism, in this episode, we explore whether finding inner peace within ourselves can eventually cultivate outer peace in the world.

Over the past two years, we have witnessed how central institutions and organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other intergovernmental and NGOs can influence our governments in times of crisis. In this episode, we dig deeper to find out what is influencing global planning for health, be it for pandemics or general health, and how some of the lesser-known influences are shaping policies like the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty. We take a brief look at the history of global public health, its corporatisation and the shift in focus to pharmaceutical intervention and away from sanitation and infrastructure. We question the legitimacy of the growing power of the WHO and seek to understand what people can do to influence future decision making. Our guest, David Bell is a clinical and public health physician with a PhD in population health and a background in internal medicine, modelling and epidemiology of infectious disease. He is a board member of PANDA and leads the socio-political projects on global public health. Previously, he was Director of the Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund in the USA, Programme Head for Malaria and Acute Febrile Disease at FIND in Geneva, and coordinated malaria diagnostics strategy with the World Health Organization.

Not only is the world facing war, but Western society is also becoming increasingly divided, fragmented and polarised. Can humankind evolve to find greater peace amongst ourselves? Having started his career as a biologist our guest today, Christopher Gladwell, has long held a fascination with human evolution and in this powerful conversation, we blur the lines between science and ancient practice as we explore how humankind can evolve to find peace. Christopher Gladwell is one of the UK's leading breathwork practitioners who has been practising and teaching yoga in its many forms through physical practice, conscious breathwork, mindfulness, meditation and devotion for more than 35 years. You are invited to join our 7-day breathwork challenge with Christopher in the Elevate Network starting today: https://www.weareelevate.org/events/day-breathwork-challenge-with-christopher-gladwell

In this podcast, Frank and I look at the dangers of our fatalistic acceptance of the ‘New Normal’. Together we question if the defining feature of our Western culture is one of vulnerability and the consequence this has on individual agency. At a societal level, the promotion of safety as a first order value is at the detriment of freedom which if no longer valued can pave the way for authoritarianism. We are witnessing a reluctance to embrace freedom which demonstrates how our passivity is an acceptance of paternalistic tendencies. Are we witnessing a creep toward a life steeped in technology where humanity opts to interact from the ‘comfort’ of home? Is this the future that we truly desire and how do we become the authors of our own destiny? Join our mailing list to receive our latest content and campaigns: http://www.danastingregory.com/podcast

Not only is the world facing war, Western society is becoming increasingly divided, fragmented and polarised. Can humankind evolve to find greater peace amongst ourselves?

In this interview we look at the importance of critical-thinking and the ethical considerations of sacrifice for the ‘greater good’. We consider the difference between action that emerges from free will versus that which is arises from a coercive force and ask if the real pandemic one of compliance and complacency?

Follow the science is a phrase that we became all too familiar with over the course of the pandemic. Whilst the jury may still be out, it is becoming increasingly clear that following the science may not have been the best advice after all. Ann Bauer has experienced this first hand previously in her own life with her battle to find a solution to her son’s autism and quickly found many parallels to the dizzying madness of the changing restrictions and rules throughout the response to Covid-19

Our guest Dr Meryl Nass MD recently made the headlines when she had her medical license suspended and a psychiatric evaluation requested following her critical commentary on the covid-19 response. In this episode we discuss what happened and why these methods were used to silence a former biological warfare epidemiologist and unpack what lessons can be learned when it comes to challenging the incentive structures in the healthcare sector and beyond.

Elon Musk reached an agreement to buy Twitter (TWTR) for roughly $44bn (£34.6bn), promising to make online speech freer and restore the “de facto public town square”. The deal has been received with a combination of mixed and largely over the top reactions, but what power does one man have to transform free speech in the digital world in the face of new legislation like the Online Safety Bill in the UK and the Digital Services Act in Europe?

“Follow the science" is a phrase that we became all too familiar with over the course of the pandemic, but is it right to place so much trust in the experts? In this episode I am joined by author Ann Bauer, recently known for her article entitled ‘I Have Been Through This Before’, where she outlined the parallels between her experience of dealing with the ‘experts’ in her battle to find a solution to her late son’s autism and the dizzying madness of the response to Covid-19. Join us as Ann recounts her story and we explore why placing so much trust in the ‘experts’ could be flawed.

Having taught at universities in Canada and the US for 20 years, Dr. Ponesse was faced with a difficult decision in the Autumn of 2021 when she saw her academic career fall apart for refusing to comply with a Canadian university's COVID vaccine mandate. In December 2021, Dr. Ponesse released a book entitled My Choice: The Ethical Case Against Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates, where she shares her personal story and examines the ethical and philosophical dimensions of the pandemic response. In tonight’s podcast, we look at the importance of critical-thinking and the ethical considerations that underpin the idea of making sacrifices for the ‘greater good’ and explore the differences between action that emerges from free will versus that which is arises from a coercive force. Dr. Julie Ponesse has a PhD in Philosophy with areas of specialization in ethics and ancient philosophy. She has a Masters in Philosophy with Collaborative Specialization in Bioethics from the University of Toronto You are invited to continue the conversation within the Elevate community at http://www.weareelevate.org
