Collective Evolution with Joe Martino

In this episode, Joe and Chris explore the complexities of market economies, the illusion of freedom in ownership, and the challenges posed by competition. They discuss how the current system is designed to prioritize profit over community and well-being, leading to ecological and social issues. They discuss the potential for alternative economies and the importance of rebuilding the commons through community-driven initiatives. The conversation also includes some practice steps toward exploring a solution now that could allow people to exist outside of the current market while still being able to participate in the market. Chris Agnos is the creator of The People’s Library, a vision for a parallel economy built on cooperation, shared access, and care. After years of exploring the root causes behind inequality, environmental destruction, and social disconnection, Chris came to a powerful realization: the market itself—with its foundations in competition, ownership, and profit—is driving the very crises we’re trying to solve. 🌱 What is the People’s Library? The People’s Library is a new kind of economy—one that exists alongside markets but isn’t defined by profit, ownership, or competition. Inspired by the simplicity of a public library, it’s a system where food, housing, transportation, tools, and more are shared within a community, not bought or sold. Instead of working just to survive, people contribute meaningfully to their communities and access what they need—without rent, debt, or scarcity. It’s about freedom, purpose, and thriving together. 🌐 Explore the Movement: https://www.ThePeoplesLibrary.life ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chrisagnos Here is a document with a ton more relevant links for The People's Library: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRWwV4i0-qDvmxXXTiZ4Au3Jtin0vWZrK-ndh5FMf8M16K-DAxTb_dSUQqfFV9uxx8bF3OgypPH6U3c/pub Listen on: Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/37J0b9HWU6EOahFIa4LPQAApple Podcasts here - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/ep-55-the-wake-up-call-we-all-need-to-hear-about/id1327602180?i=1000703148080 Visit our sponsor: https://www.despierta.one/ Use discount code CEPODCAST for 15% offJoin our email list - https://www.collective-evolution.com/ce-insightI'd love for you to join our membership to support our work, it goes a long way in helping - https://explorerlounge.one/

When looking at our global challenges and our current moment, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of it all – perhaps to an extent we do have to feel that a bit. But what happens if we took our perspectives back to first principles, back to worldview, back to wisdom and what it might mean to make progress? Today Joe is joined by Daniel Pinchbeck to explore the nature of our current moment and how we might respond to it from a different lens. What would it mean to truly make progress? How can we come together regardless of our differences and divisions? What role does human consciousness and trauma play in the current state of the world?About Daniel Pinchbeck Daniel Pinchbeck is an American author, philosopher, and cultural critic known for his work on consciousness, psychedelics, and societal transformation. His books, including Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now, and When Plants Dream, explore shamanism, prophecy, ecological crises, and the impact of psychedelics on culture. Beyond writing, Pinchbeck has been deeply involved in projects aimed at fostering regenerative solutions for global challenges. He founded the think tank the Elevator and launched Liminal News, a platform for exploring topics ranging from ecology and politics to spirituality and technology.

  In this episode, I speak with Eric Meder, COO of Privacy Academy and an online privacy expert.

What is being spoken about with MAHA is a great starting point. However, this has been going on for a very long time, it's nothing new. So while some of it needs to happen, it's not going to solve the health crisis' we have unless we begin to get to the core of what's causing so many health issues. In this episode: - A quick outline of the MAHA movement. - A breakdown of the key missing piece in the process of becoming healthy again. - How nervous system dysregulation creates chronic illness and does not allow the body to repair well. - How we have lost touch with our needs and DNA as a human species and why it's the key to becoming healthy.

Some thoughts on how we might choose to orient to the current state of the world in a wise way. Allowing ourselves to know, make sense, explore, be open, find peace, and engage without losing our minds or hearts. In this episode: - A breakdown of the 4 part framework that makes up the approach I've taken with my work over the last 15 years as it relates to making sense of our reality. - How the concept of inner transformation plays into changing our world, and the oscillating relationship that exists between the two. - How being stuck in survival physiology is not only common for most people on the planet, but why it changes the lens through which we see the world. - The decline of alternative media as it has become more polarized and mainstream.

Today I present a solocast about the phenomenon of emergent collective evolution.. that is to say, how our world changes as a result of us as people and the mysteries of our consciousness. Since our world, society, nature, and selves are complex systems/beings, we must embody this reality when thinking about our own personal transformation as well as our collective one. I refer to a piece I wrote on my personal SubStack here: https://joemartino.substack.com/p/perhaps-this-is-what-it-will-take In this episode: - The importance of understand complex systems vs linear systems when it comes to personal transformation, collective transformation and nature. - How the space of fundamental wellbeing produces emergent being and action in our local and collective field. This is where material change is born. - The difference between linear striving for change, where we worry about the future, and having a deep trust in moment to moment change. - How we can let go of the worry and anxiety associated with global problems that feel bigger than us and out of our immediate control.

In this episode, I explore how we can stay grounded, generally happy, and embodied during chaotic times. I do so by exploring our autonomic nervous system and it's role in how we feel and see the world. I go over some techniques for building capacity and resilience in life while still engaging with the world and society. Recall that the sympathetic system is not solely responsible for survival, but also provides energy and mobilisation to live our lives. Similarly, the Dorsal branch of the parasympathetic nervous system is there to provide a survival response when needed but also rest/digest/repair. The challenge is we can often become locked in the survival portions of these systems.

In this episode, Madhava Setty & I have a discussion with Sam The Illusionist about his channelling work. In a time where different ways of knowing can be useful while we hold a curious and open mind, this conversation feels meaningful. The key for me tends to be, that we need not take channelling as fact, but is a signal worthy of considering and discerning in our sensemaking.
