Listen To John Mackey:

I highly encourage you to listen to this Tipping interview, because John Mackey is someone who has LIVED tipping points.  Starting Whole Foods in his garage 32 years ago, John has been an active player in generating major paradigm shifts in how we view nutrition, food and the planet!

I am constantly asked why I choose people who are ‘famous’ or somewhat well-known to be in the tipping series.  First off, that is not entirely true.

Second, the reason why it is mainly true is that people like John Mackey have embodied this global awakening for a long time, and have a body of work to show for it.  And to me there is a ton of value when there is a body of work…because it gives us all something to learn from!

As for John’s interview, it was truly enlightening and an honor to interview him.  As many of you know John is a big believer in capitalism and business.  His ideas are fascinating because they seem to tease into the next wrung of development within capitalism, and he is quite well known for terming ‘Conscious Capitalism’ as the embodiment of this work.

Latest on Conscious Capitalism

He generously shared his latest beliefs regarding Conscious Capitalism, which entail 4 primary tenants:

1) Business has the potential to have a higher purpose beyond maximizing profits

2) Business should be managed on behalf on all the major stakeholders (who are all interdependent on one another)

3) Any type of leader has to have not only business intelligence but also emotional and spiritual intelligence…someone who is not only trying to maximize his/her own well being

4) Culture: you have to design the culture of the conscious business around purpose, the stakeholder principle and creating conscious leaders

John also made it crystal clear that he thinks business, in general terms, is inherently GOOD.  He defends capitalism with many statistics on how the world’s conditions, the the living conditions of the people living here, have improved because of capitalism’s forward push!

Yes, he recognizes that business needs to evolve.  I push him on this point as I ask him specifically about the oil and pharmaceutical industries…I mean, it is hard to see anything but the greed and the need for profit in these industries, and I ask him how he sees the ‘good in business’ within these sectors….and his answers are fascinating!!

In the end, I also ask John about his own personal growth and spiritual journey….which he recognizes as an integral part of the conscious capitalism mentality.

He even admits that it was his own personal growth breakthroughs that enabled Whole Foods to get out of some bad places…when he got unstuck, Whole Foods got unstuck.  “You can’t have a conscious business if you don’t have conscious people”.

In all, John is a terribly interesting guy who has had a MAJOR impact on the Planet.  Check out this interview and definitely share it along…..

Love,
Todd

Listen to Tami Simon:

Tami Simon doesn’t necessarily believe in the Tipping Point.  While being intrigued by increasing phenomena and heightened interest in transformation…she is not ‘sold’ on the linear idea of a tipping point manifesting in the world as being framed out on this website.

Funnily enough, Tami was a bit apologetic when explaining she is not a ‘full believer’ in the tipping phenomenon!  I quelled her right away, and told her that not everyone needs to believe in order to provide tremendous value to the audience on here

And Tami’s presence and voice have tremendous value…and I highly encourage you to give this audio a listen and share with everyone you know who has a spiritual side.

As a leader in the transformative space (Tami founded and runs Sounds True, one of the largest publishers of personal growth content on the planet for the past 25 years), she is VERY aware of the increasing desire of people in the world to change, open their hearts, and explore a more spiritual way of being.

What I love most about Tami is how grounded she is in her life’s purpose and what she is here to do.  My favorite part of this interview was when she shared a personal story about a spiritual encounter she had in her 20′s where she was transported back in time and experienced her own birth (through a process called Holotropic breathwork).

What Tami saw was quite profound and will give you some valuable insight on how someone who has been on a ‘spiritual path’ for most of her life has also been able to succeed in the world of business and money.

For those of you who resonate with Tami’s life mission, I highly encourage you to listen to this interview as you may acquire valuable insight on how you can manifest your life’s work while playing within the systems that currently exist on the Planet….!

Tami Simon has a unique transmission and gift on this Planet and I am honored to have interviewed her.  In fact, I will tell you that this was one of my favorite 3 interviews I did…so give a listen right away!!

Love,
Todd

PS: please make sure to visit Sounds True straight away!  They have thousands of books, audios, videos that are at the cutting edge of transformational experience. Enjoy!

Listen To Craig Hamilton:

In this enlightening Tipping interview, evolutionary teacher Craig Hamilton tells us that the biggest shift happening on the planet right now (which underlies all the other shifts we are experiencing) is that the universe is becoming “self reflective”.

Craig explains that this process of the universe becoming aware of itself is actually happening through us, through human beings…and it is this burgeoning reality that may be the fundamental nature of the ‘tipping point’ being framed out on this site!

What I love about Craig’s worldview, and the ‘evolutionary’ perspective in general, is that he is not scared to take the grandest possible stance on what the tipping point phenomena actually is.

Craig exemplifies this in our talk when he provides a wonderful visual of the present moment being time smack dab in the middle of 40,000 years of the past and 40,000 years of the future.

When you actually sense into what life was like 40,000 years ago for human beings, and you try to sense into what 40,000 years in the future might hold, it alters your perception of the present moment quite drastically.  When listening, try and feel into the visualization…you will see what I mean

The most critical piece to understand, according to Craig, is that what makes this moment in time so unique is that we have the ability to access the impulse driving the evolutionary process.  To Craig, accessing and connecting to this ‘evolutionary impulse’ is the key for not only our individual happiness but also potentially the transcendence of human beings!

The greatest thing about Craig is that as a teacher and speaker, he transmits pretty complicated stuff in a simple and easy to understand manner.  If you are interested in learning more about is work, please click here, and also share this talk with your friends who might be interested in learning more about evolution!

Love, Todd

Listen to Neale Donald Walsch:

Many of you know Neale Donald Walsch as a spiritual luminary/author who has spent most of his literary career ‘conversing with God’. His latest book is a little different others in his ultra popular series, and is aptly titled The Storm Before The Calm. In this book Neale takes a sobering and realistic view of the current human situation and names the global crisis so many of us feel as the ‘great disruption’.

Needless to say, it is an honor to have interviewed Neale…anyone that has sold more than 8 Million books has had a real impact on the collective consciousness and it was a thrill to garner his wisdom on the current challenges we face.

Interestingly, the first part of our dialogue was very direct. He spoke clearly about how world governments are going to try and control the Internet, create laws around the spread of free ideas, and even ‘turn off’ the world wide web if it becomes too problematic. NDW was speaking very Thrive-like!

I found his words particularly enlightening given the current SOPA and NDAA laws the US government are desperately trying to enact.

Neale then went on to frame out the spiritual dilemma we face by posing a powerful question: how is it that a species of 6.9 billion evolved individuals (or so we claim) have failed to manifest a world where peace, love, unity, security, prosperity are the norm…when a seemingly VAST majority of people want these things?? Its a powerful question of you think about it, and made me ponder, ‘yea, what is it that’s holding us back’?

I’m not going to give his answers away, because the way he expressed himself in answering his own question was a real gift (and I highly encourage you to listen to the interview) but essentially he told me that we have been wanting to wrong things…and that human beings have been collectively asking the WRONG question.

When I asked him what the right question was, I thought I might get some vague, spiritual answer….but I did not. He was very direct.

Anyway, ENJOY Neale Donald Walsh on Worldwide Tipping Point…and DEF read his latest book: The Storm Before The Calm

Listen To David ‘Avocado’ Wolfe:

I’ll be honest, David ‘Avocado’ Wolfe has been sort of a hero of mine for the past 10 years since I first discovered his work.  It’s not just the actual content he creates but the manner in which he lives his life.  You see, David is an explorer, someone who is out in the world experimenting with various forms of health, well-being, and consciousness that helps us attain a greater lens of understanding about how the rest of the world holds this unique time to be living!

And his message is critical to generating a tipping point as human beings have gotten so off track in the areas of health and well being….how we grow and consume food and how we heal our bodies when we are sick.  Listening to David’s message is crucial right now, and he brings up a quote by Socrates which I believe sums up our dialogue quite well:  “All wisdom is remembering”.

David and I talk for quite a while about Chinese medicine and how the Chinese are by FAR the most advanced in the world when it comes to holistic and herbal medicine.  David talks to us about something the Chinese are doing called ‘Fingerprint Identical Transfer’ technology, a process by which we open up and extract unbelievable heaps of healing energy from plants and herbs that are not even part of the conversation in the western world.

David speaks to us about various forms of healing, and our collective need to get back to the source wisdom that is right in front of our faces.  He touts the benefits of medicinal mushrooms, drinking spring water, broccoli, marine phytoplankton, super foods (like chocolate), and more.  He has a real passion for the benefits of Chinese Goji berries and I ask him about this particular berry and why its so important…and he explains in detail why Goji is the center of the Chinese wheel of health and well being.

Guys, if we are going to generate a true Worldwide Tipping Point than we need to start remembering how to treat our bodies and health…and begin accessing the wisdom all around us. I hope you enjoy this interview because I did

More About David

This interview had a LOT of information, as David has a lot to share.  He says the best site to garner all his info is The Best Day Ever and I highly recommend you checking out the site.  Almost all of his talks, recipes and content is shared on this site…..

Listen To Janine Benyus:

I am ecstatic to have Janine Benyus in the tipping series not only because its relevant to have a few scientists in these dialogues, but also because she is one of the leading voices in the emerging field of Biomimicry, which can be explained quite nicely as: Innovation inspired by nature.

In our interview Janine calls human beings ‘toddler’s with matches’, and I just love this phrase!  She gives us necessary perspective that in biological terms we are a very young species, one which has evolved to the point where it will either destroy itself or transform into it’s next stage of development.

On the hopeful front, I find the type of science the Biomimicry represents as a potential harbinger regarding where we are on the evolutionary path.  I mean, how COOL is it that science has evolved to the point of recognizing that certain things in nature work while certain things do not, and that we can consciously choose to study the things that are working, learn from them, mimic them, and give ourselves the best chance of continuing on.

Biomimicry looks to the natural world for successful organisms, things that have been here for millions of years, and searches for helpful clues as to their longevity.  We can then put these design features into use in real-world architecture and creation.  Buildings based on the principles of a tree, water systems flowing like the contours of a leaf….incredible stuff!

Biomimicry is a breath of fresh air, utilizing the best of human consciousness, awareness and compassion. Imagine designing buildings, cities and even whole countries based on the principles of how nature works…this is the tipping point in action!

More About Janine

Janine is President of the The Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit organization whose mission is to naturalize biomimicry in the culture by promoting the transfer of ideas, designs, and strategies from biology to sustainable human systems design.

She has authored six books, including Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. In this book she develops the basic thesis that human beings should consciously emulate nature’s genius in their designs.

Listen To Daniel Pinchbeck:

When I decided to start this website and interview series, one of the first people I thought about interviewing was Daniel Pinchbeck.

I read his book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl a few years back, and was blown away by his relentless quest to understand the mystical prophecies surrounding 2012, and his voyage around the globe to acquire a clearer lens as to what it all means.

As many of the tipping interviews touch upon, there is something special and unique happening on Planet Earth right now.  Much of the phenomenon is right in front of our face, and many people would argue that the myriad of social, political and economic systems being challenged, even questioned, at this time is part of some form of transcendent leap humanity is undergoing.

Bt what about the other stuff…the things that our thinking mind, our intellect, can’t quite grasp?  I am talking about mystical phenomenon: psychic powers, extraterrestrials, crop circles, spirit guides, ancient prophecies, angels, and all the potential marvels that the greatest science-minded, rational folks of our planet can’t explain (or simply dismiss)!

For a moment try and imagine what human awareness, human consciousness, might be like in the year 3012.  Is it so hard to conceive that in 1,000 years from now the phenomenon we currently hold as ‘mystical’ will be very real and integrated into our existence in ways we can’t possibly understand or foresee right now?

Use that same imagination and go back 1,000 years to the year 1012, and visualize what those people would think if they experienced life in 2012.  Do you think they would say there is some magic in the world?  What do you think these people would say about iphones, airplanes, and the Internet…would these things even be in the realm of comprehension about what is possible? No way.

So together, lets begin wrapping our heads and hearts around all the realities in the world, our lives, and this universe that we simply have not evolved to the point of comprehending yet!  Enjoy the Daniel Pinchbeck interview because some of the things we discuss (new concepts of time, crop circles, mystical phenomenon) are 1000% part of the tipping point we are amid.

Listen To Nassim Haramein:

Perhaps the biggest challenge science has faced over the last hundred years has been to decipher the nature of what is commonly referred to as a ‘unified theory’ for the way the universe operates.

As smart as we like to believe we are, human beings still cannot reconcile major differences between how we understand things to work at the very smallest levels (subatomic) and the largest levels (cosmic or astrological).

And because the things we observe in the night sky, like the stars and planets, must be made from the same general stuff the things we experience in our daily lives, like our bodies and water, this is a pretty big quandary to have while claiming to be so intelligent!

Even though there have been new developments over the last few years with the promise of adequately explaining how the whole thing works (like string theory and super string theory), there is still great debate among the Planet’s intellectuals.

A NEW Way Of Looking At It

Today’s Tipping interview, Nassim Haramein, has some unique insights into this great debate and has quite a different perspective from many of today’s mainstream scientists.

Although somewhat controversial (to some he is the next coming of Einstein while to others he is a quack with no bite to his bark), Nassim’s ideas are absolutely captivating and revealing in terms of the type of consciousness that may need to manifest if a global tipping point is going to take hold.

One of Nassim’s coolest assertions is the idea that science has been looking at the WRONG things for hundreds of years.  Traditionally, human beings have looked to the stars and planets, oceans and forests, bodies and organisms to try and figure out the laws of the universe (it makes sense to try and figure it out from things easy to observe).

Nassim looks at it the other way, and focuses on what comprises 99.99% of the known universe: empty space.

His life’s work has been spent decoding the nature of empty space and his most recent paper claims to prove that right here and right now human beings have the ability to extract endless amounts of energy from space itself.

This claim would revolutionize the way that we look at the universe, and would revolutionize the manner by which human beings operate as a species on this planet.

If Nassim is right, and his paper proves to be true, the changes that might occur from such a discovery could transcend the very nature of what it means to be a human being.  To say the least, it would be a huge step to generating a worldwide tipping point!

When listening to Nassim, put yourself in the space of ‘what if’.  I mean, what IF Nassim is right?  And we thought ‘the world is flat’ was a funny falsehood to believe in!

Much Love and HAPPY New Year to all of you wonderful Tippers!

Todd

Biomimicry or biomimetics is the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems. To me, this is one of the most exciting scientific endeavors taking place on the planet right now and I am THRILLED to interview Janine Benyus who is one of the world’s leading experts in the field!

Humanity has seemingly forgotten that nature provides us with all the information we will ever need to build a thriving and sustainable world. I mean, the earth has been here for billions of years and it is STILL here. We have veered away from accessing and utilizing this knowledge as we grow, grow, GROW at an unnatural pace bypassing all the incredible wisdom around us.

Biomimicry is a breath of fresh air, utilizing the best of human consciousness, awareness and compassion. Imagine designing buildings, cities and even whole countries based on the principles of how nature works…this is the tipping point in action!

More About Janine

Janine is President of the The Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit organization whose mission is to naturalize biomimicry in the culture by promoting the transfer of ideas, designs, and strategies from biology to sustainable human systems design.

She has authored six books, including Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. In this book she develops the basic thesis that human beings should consciously emulate nature’s genius in their designs.

Replay Jean Houston:

One of my all-time favorite quotes is the Margaret Mead gem: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has“.

THIS is the Tipping Point experiment in a nutshell, and today I am thrilled to be interviewing Jean Houston, one of the great story tellers of our time!

***

If you are not familiar with Jean’s work, this is a ‘MUST hear’ interview. She talks us through the current state of the world from the perspective of a cultural anthropologist who has spent 40+ years working on the ground in over 100 countries with the intent to deepen our understanding of what it really means to be a human being.

Because Jean consults with many of the world’s top business and political leaders, she gives an interesting perspective about how these people hold the whole systems shift we are ensconced.

We talk Jeffrey Sachs, Occupy Wall Street and also about her encounter with Helen Keller when she was a child.  She speaks of our collective need to nurture healthy learning communities, and the power of human potential through the vehicle of creativity.

Jean’s life has been mythic journey and her views about what is happening on the planet right now are relevant and enlightening!

There is also a comical moment where I was positive I heard Jean say ‘I have come to believe that we are NOT going to make it’ and I am glad I push her on this because what she said was actually quite different.

In the end, this interview symbolizes why I started this website in the first place…and I encourage you to share this beautiful dialogue with friends and family!
