   The Elders Say: The Time Is Now | Gio Isreal

   What are we really looking for? My guest today is Gio Israel, creator and director of Seekers, a cinematic docu-series six years in the making, filmed across the Amazon, the Himalayas, India, Africa, Native America, and California, with rare and extraordinary access to some of the world's last remaining wisdom keepers. It is one of the most ambitious projects ever created in this space, and it is about to launch. In this conversation, we talk about what it means to be a seeker, what the elders from the Amazon to the Himalayas to Zimbabwe are saying about this exact moment in human history, why they all say the same thing — the time is now — and what that actually means for how we live. We talk about consciousness, devotion, the relationship between life and death, the crisis of meaning underneath the mental health crisis, the power of choice, and what it looks like to build a life, and a company, as a ceremony. Topics we cover: — What it means to be a seeker and why so many of us are, without using that word — How Seekers was born in the desert during COVID, from a voice that said "meet people where they are" — What the wisdom keepers from the Amazon, Himalayas, Africa, India, and Native America are saying about this moment — Why every elder, across traditions and cultures, says the same thing: the time is now — The crisis of meaning beneath the mental health crisis — Life as a ceremony and what devotion really looks like day to day — The relationship with death that the healthiest societies share and that we in the West have lost — The Sapara Nation, their prophecy, and what it means that 80% of their territory is at risk right now — What happens if enough of us go inward — Seekers: the show, the platform, the mission, and the special early access link for our community → Listen & subscribe: https://newworldinthemaking.com (https://newworldinthemaking.com) → Read more on Substack: https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking (https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking) → Support us by donating & Become an Active Maker: (https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00)https://ko-fi.com/newworldinthemaking About Seekers → Read more about Seekers here: https://seekers.co/ (https://seekers.co/) →🌿 Special early access link for the NWM community: https://seekers.co/m/new-world-inthemaking (https://seekers.co/m/new-world-inthemaking) ⚠️ Disclaimer All content shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

   Something Is Shifting in Business | Nick Thomson

   In this episode of New World in the Making, I sit down with Nicholas Thomson, founder of Iceberg. Nick spent his career inside high-performance environments, and along the way he started noticing what many of us only feel: that the way we've been running companies is quietly no longer working. Underneath, the old paradigm of command, hierarchy, and control is being outgrown by the world we actually live in. Nick founded Iceberg to help organisations move into what comes next: more conscious, more self-managed, more human. We talk about: The real purpose of a company, and the personal why underneath it Why true stories are more convincing than any theory or book How culture and profit are not mutually exclusive The new consciousness slowly emerging in business, and why it is so hard to grow into What crisis moments are actually here for What conscious leadership looks like on a Tuesday morning, not just on a slide And what it takes for an organisation to hold its values when pressure and money enter the room If you are feeling this shift inside your own organisation, or you want to explore where this transition could take you, head to our website. We've just launched a course designed for anyone curious about where we're going, personally, and inside our organisations and businesses. → Listen & subscribe: https://newworldinthemaking.com (https://newworldinthemaking.com) → Read more on Substack: https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking (https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking) → Become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00 (https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00) About Nick Thomson and Iceberg Iceberg supports companies transitioning from traditional hierarchies into more conscious, self-managed, human-centred organisations. → Connect with Nick on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholasgilesthomson/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholasgilesthomson/) → Learn more about Iceberg: https://itsiceberg.com/ (https://itsiceberg.com/) If this conversation resonates, tag someone who needs to hear it.

   The Self Beyond the System | Josep M. Coll, PhD

   What does it mean to be human in an age of AI, accelerating uncertainty, and collapsing systems? In this episode, I sit down with Josep M. Coll — systems thinker, economist, educator, and spiritual practitioner — to explore one of the most important questions of our time: how do we navigate a world in deep transition without losing ourselves in the process? Josep's story is as interdisciplinary as his thinking. From studying economics and international development, to living and practising Zen in South Korea, to bringing spirituality into business schools and the United Nations — his life has been a long practice of connecting the inner and the outer. What he discovered along the way is that you cannot address the big systemic challenges we face — climate change, inequality, AI disruption, the collapse of old economic models — without also doing the inner work. We talk about what systems thinking really is (and why it's not a discipline but a field of interdependence), how AI is acting as a mirror forcing us to ask who we are beyond work and productivity, why education for children needs roots before screens, what spirituality actually looks like inside a business or organisation, how money and purpose can coexist, and what gives him hope in what Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci called "the era of monsters" — that difficult passage when the old world is dying but the new one hasn't yet taken shape. This is a conversation about courage, curiosity, collective intelligence, and the responsibility we each carry to help build the world that is emerging. Topics we cover: Systems thinking: what it is and why it matters now more than ever AI as a mirror: who are we when machines can do what we do? Education, children, and screens: what should we actually be teaching? Spirituality in business: how Josep brought meditation into boardrooms and the UN Money, purpose, and the health of organizations Universal basic income, techno-feudalism, and what happens to the economy How to stay resilient and curious in times of chaos Gramsci's "era of monsters" and the futures we have a responsibility to imagine → Listen & subscribe: https://newworldinthemaking.com (https://newworldinthemaking.com) → Read more on Substack: https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking (https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking) → Become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00 (https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00) About Josep M.
