The Ten Thousand (10,000) Heroes Show
157 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratings10,000 Heroes is a show about Purpose.
We interview people we admire about their journey with Purpose.
Which is a journey we’re all on – whether we like it, or acknowledge it, or not.
And then we share their insights, tools, and struggles with you.
10,000 Heroes (10kh) provides inspiration, intimacy, and maybe even a little bit of guidance, as to what it means to live a truly purposeful life, and how we each can get there in our own unique way.
In my mind, it’s not just a podcast, it’s a hero generation machine.
Because a World on Fire needs People with Purpose.

#00123 Pacific Northwest Sea Gardens and What We Owe Our Descendants (with Nicole Norris)
May 22, 2024 16:56 - 1 hour - 50 MBTwo years ago I overheard a conversation at a local farmers' market about Clam Gardens. Being a nosy podcast host, I eavesdropped, eventually inserted myself, and got some contact information. Today I caught up with Ala̱g̱a̱mił Nicole Norris, of Halalt First Nation on what's now known as Vancouver Island in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Nicole is a Shellfish Aquaculture Specialist, Intergovernmental Communicator, Cultural Support Worker; knowledge holder, and language pr...
#00122 The Third Side
April 14, 2024 15:31 - 27 minutes - 26.2 MBIn this episode I present what I learned from William Ury's The Third Side. The basic idea is that our communities and societies are the most important element in developing an effective conflict management system, and that the essence of being effect is to exert peer pressure on resolving the conflict instead of taking the "side" of any of the parties. Hence, the 3rd side... (For the video version, go here: https://www.youtube.com/@tenthousandheroes) 🦸♀️🦸🏾🦸🏼♂️🦸🏽♀️🦸🏿🦸 ♥️ If you ...
#00121 Civic Engineering V1 Plan (How to Prevent a Civil War)
April 13, 2024 15:26 - 21 minutes - 21.4 MBFor the last few months I've been reflecting on How to Prevent a Civil War. Here's why I think we need to act: - It is in the avowed interests of multiple powerful actors -- both inside and outside of the US -- to foment widespread discord, confusion, and animosity. - The logical conclusion of widespread discord, confusion, and animosity is civil war. - The people working on this have lots of resources and effective technology (ie AI chatbots) at their disposal. Basically, in absence ...
#00120 The Six Dimensions of Conflict Transformation
April 11, 2024 11:29 - 24 minutes - 23.4 MBThe concept I want to present today is the Six Dimensions of Conflict, which comes up in Chapters 2 and 3 of The Crossroads of Conflict by Ken Cloke. Ken has a model where he breaks down conflict and how we approach it into six areas, and then looks at that sextet from 4 different angles: - Orders of Resolution - Math/Geometry - Location in the body - Mediation style 🦸♀️🦸🏾🦸🏼♂️🦸🏽♀️🦸🏿🦸 ♥️ If you liked this episode, let us know with a review.

#00119 Three examples of slow dialogue
April 09, 2024 21:11 - 19 minutes - 19 MBAs part of my journey towards understanding what brings us together and what keeps us apart, today I want to share three examples of social dialogue I learned about in the past couple of weeks. I will resist the temptation to draw conclusions prematurely, but just let us all ruminate together with these three examples. The first is from Nelson Mandela's autobiography -- Long Walk to Freedom (PDF) -- which I'm currently reading. The second is a description of traditional dispute resolutio...
#00118 A Sober Roadmap to Nuclear Disarmament (with Ward Hayes Wilson)
April 06, 2024 08:55 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBAs Lao Tzu used to say: "Do the hard thing while it is still easy." According to my guest, Ward Hayes Wilson, it's a pretty good time to work on nuclear disarmament. This is precisely the opposite of all my reflections on the issues, which usually end in hopeless shrugging and attempts to resign myself towards guaranteed nuclear annihilation. (Much harder when you have kids!) Ward has a very different take, which is rooted in 30 years of obsessive study of the issue and the fundame...
#00117 Every Conflict Hides a Story, with Somia Sadiq
March 30, 2024 12:04 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBSomia Sadiq is a peacebuilder and entrepreneur focused on Conflict Transformation. Our conversation was so wide-ranging I thought it would be worth a brief rundown of what we covered: - Resilience and Fasting - Definitions: Settler and Newcomer - Identity politics - Ancestral guilt and shame - How to approach history (and history of oppression) without guilt - The role of public apologies - The limits of apologies - The necessary components of an apology - intentionali...
#00116 Atheism, Spirituality, and Civil War with Casper ter Kuile
March 28, 2024 03:31 - 1 hour - 57 MBCasper ter Kuile is like a better version of myself. He's on a mission to rescue spiritual truths from religious dogma to fill the voids in modern life. We talk about what atheism and spirituality mean to us, gain inspiration from a John O'Donahue essay on "The Priestliness of the Human Heart," discuss the current struggles in El Salvador (and how to handle it), and finally, I broach the topic of: How To Prevent A Civil War. If you're concerned about the divisiveness in our culture a...
#00115 A meditation on Pain, Drugs, and Gratitude with Wolf Sherman
March 17, 2024 18:48 - 57 minutes - 46.5 MBWolf Sherman has dealt with excruciating pain 24/7 since being hit by a car a couple of years ago. The relationships he has developed between pain, drugs, and gratitude struck me as something every single one of us can learn from. We also get into modern masculinity and communication with whales. Yeah, You heard me right. 🐋 🦸♀️🦸🏾🦸🏼♂️🦸🏽♀️🦸🏿🦸 ♥️ If you liked this episode, let us know with a review. And follow this show to get all our latest episodes. ♥️♥️Of course...
#00114 John Giuliano on Justice, Revenge, and the situation in El Salvador
March 06, 2024 19:10 - 56 minutes - 45.1 MBIn this episode, I talk with one of my greatest mentors, John Giuliano, about how the Régimen de excepción is affecting his small community. Specifically, we discuss the situation of the co-director of the Tamarindo Foundation, Santos, who was arrested 54 days ago (as of March 6, 2024). The second half of the show (@ 16:02) covers John's response to the arrests, the difference between revenge and justice, and the unhealed wounds from the Salvadoran civil war. 🦸♀️🦸🏾🦸🏼♂️🦸🏽♀️🦸🏿🦸 ♥️ If ...

I go through the 4 main ingredients that go into the bread, and then go into the ingredients that go into those, and then the ingredients that go into those… It’s a gratitude practice.

#00112 Abby Carl: Composting Trauma into Healing
November 19, 2023 02:37 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBIf what I’m trying to do with this podcast is: Go deep immediately without any fluff, and Help us all understand how purpose shows itself empirically, even when things look horribly gnarly, Then I give this conversation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. It’s deep. It deals with horrible things (sexual trauma). It’s hopeful.

#00111 Jason Taylor: Five Elements Acupuncture and The Seasons of Life
November 11, 2023 14:36 - 1 hour - 49.6 MBJason Taylor runs deep. He’s an ecologist and Five Elements acupuncturist with a lot to share about living a healthy and balanced life. But what I liked best is how deeply he engaged with the questions. That’s part of what I love about this show – it’s not just Information handed down from On High, but a mutual exploration, where we’re all learning about our paths, through the vessel of the interview. Tune in to hear the throughline in Jason’s journey from environmen...
#00110 Crystal Beasley: Making Decisions with the Heart and A Finishing School For Men
November 04, 2023 13:12 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBCrystal Beasley is a trip. She’s a high priestess of the heart and listening to her journey is the auditory equivalent of getting tickled (for me) at least. At one point she tells me she is here to protect the place of women. Then she mentions a finishing school she runs, to turn Men into Gentlemen. And then she reveals the How: Teaching them to Ask for what they Need. It seems simple, but every day I run into it. Sometimes with myself, sometimes with a colleague, sometimes...
#00109 Walter Faro: The actual Assassin’s Creed
October 28, 2023 19:24 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBWalter Faro sees himself as a protector and creator of refuge. His father (and mentor) was a trained assassin and mercenary, and Walter has spent his life trying to understand and integrate the skills and worldview he learned in his formative years. Incredibly, he brings this history and presence to his work as a DEI facilitator. Naturally, his vision for how to create safety and protection is much larger than that. Join us to hear the whole story. Walter’s Link...

#00108 Melvin Myles: Healing The Heart Through Music
October 21, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 78.8 MBMelvin Myles wields music as a weapon of love. He grew up in a gospel tradition in Mississippi, discovered Jazz in college, and stumbled his way (we laugh about it) into being a professional vocal artist. But for me the best part is what Melvin is so effortlessly able to communicate about the heart. Deep Truths I struggle to articulate through writing books and essays and poems… they just roll out of him unbidden. Listen to the interview! The whole thing! Find Melvin at: www.melvinkm...

I've got my goals: What could possibly go wrong?
October 11, 2023 15:08 - 9 minutes - 7.87 MBThere's two critical steps towards making the impact you want to make in the world: 1) Knowing what you want to do 2) Doing it Most people never figure out Step 1. But if you've worked hard enough to have a clear idea of what you want to do, you're still not out of the woods yet. For any plan of consequence there are lots and lots and lots and lots of things that can wrong. Most people ignore those possibilities and just "work hard" as the means to success. If you've gone down that...

#00104 We’re writing “The Book” on Purpose
September 02, 2023 12:47 - 14 minutes - 13 MBIf I were to write a book about purpose today (I have another ~3 hours before I need to pick up Jasmine), what would it be about? Which is maybe the same question as: What are the most important questions for me to address on this show? In the audio/video version of the episode (links below!) I’ll explain these things a bit more, but here’s the rough outline version: Part I: Introducing Purpose Preface: A cocktail party in 2045 My goal for this book is to catalyze a fu...
#00103 How To Find Your Purpose
August 23, 2023 18:43 - 25 minutes - 21.5 MBThere’s two things I want to do today: Explain how you find your purpose (according to me, today) Share the “pre-interview” video I made for my upcoming guests. It’s a simple two-step method that involves asking a specific question and then running experiments based on the answer. Everyday I run into people – in person, at parties, through email, and through this podcast, who are, for lack of a better word, lost. Maybe they’re “stuck”. Or “questioning”. Or “on a journey”. ...
#102 George Moore: Seeing AIDS as a Teacher, not a Curse
August 14, 2023 21:15 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBA couple of months ago, at an in-person event I helped organize to connect people with their Visions, I met George Moore. Towards the end of the retreat, when offered the choice between a plant-based bug spray and the DEET version, he said: “Oh, give me the chemicals. They’ve been keeping me alive for over 30 years anyways” That moment planted a seed of curiosity in me, and this interview is the result. George shares a small fraction of near-death experiences as a man livin...
#00101 Mike Taubman: The Goal of Education
August 05, 2023 12:07 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBIn this episode, I interview an old friend of mine, Mike Taubman, who has dedicated his life to education.

Mike teaches in Newark, NJ, at North Star Academy's Washington Park High School, a part of the Uncommon Schools network.

July 29, 2023 12:00 - 16 minutes - 31.1 MBThese are the final days of our first public Elephant In the Room challenge and it’s been a dramatic success, for me personally and for many of the 100+ people who are participating. In this week’s episode, I share my story – my elephant, my struggles, and what I learned – and draw an important lesson out of it. TLDR: I went in thinking the Elephant was something blocking me from being who I am and living the way I want to live. That’s true. But what I learned is that by facing it, I a...

#00098 Brendon Tomasi: The Fatherhood Ritual
July 15, 2023 13:03 - 18 minutes - 34.6 MBWhat did this episode awaken in you? Don’t be shy. https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow I talk with an old friend – Brendon Tomasi – about his journey from Party Animal to Father Animal, and the ritual he developed to help him make that transition. In a culture where the Baby Shower seems to be so popular, and is more about Things than Mothers, the Fatherhood Ritual places an importance on the emotional state and the developmental moment of fatherhood. My hope is that it can honor and ...

#00093 Dan Anear: Marriage Is Like War, only smaller
June 20, 2023 15:56 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MBIn this episode I talk with Relationship Therapist and Coach Dan Anear about conflict in relationships and specifically, the role our emotions play in conflict. For decades the conventional wisdom was “leave your emotions” at the door. Dan would like to challenge that. He also brings in his work with Terry Real’s Relational Life Institute, and reminds us that so often “The Thing is not The Thing”: that our conflicts are deeper than they appear. This show, Ten Thousand Heroes, is about ...

June 10, 2023 22:00 - 23 minutes - 22.1 MBShilpa Jain has been mediating, facilitating, and working with conflict since she was a wee lass. In this episode she gives a rough outline of “FeedForward”, a feedback technique that aims to bridge the advantages of effective and relational feedback in the corporate and non-profit settings. It’s something that every single one of us can use in our lives, probably every day. So important I’ll probably make a snazzy video about the technique (but when?) We also get in...

#00090 The Limits of Conflict Avoidance
May 27, 2023 10:00 - 9 minutes - 17.5 MBMost of us love avoiding conflict... ...if love is evaluated on the basis of our actions rather than our words. And there's some really good reasons the mind avoids conflict. 1. You can't lose if you don't play (risk-averse) 2. Conflict means somebody (you) f*cked up. (guilt/shame) There's also another really good reason the body avoids conflict. 3. We don't know the difference between life-threatening conflict and ego-threatening conflict As you probably ...
#00089 Nala Walla: Grief, Ancestor Work, The Invention of Whiteness, The Ecstasy of Grief

I ended up meeting my guest in person, which, hilariously, is actually much tricker to record than meeting online. I had a videocamera I was playing with and found it really difficult to have us both on the camera at the same time and not look weird. So I edited the excerpts of our conversations into 5 different video clips which I've posted ...

May 14, 2023 22:06 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MBSo last week I came at you with a whole map of what I'm going to do this season, involving 10 definitions of heroism. And this week -- predictably, if you knew me -- I'm not exactly going to do that. But it'll be close. I’m going to explain why finding our purpose (analytically) is going to be a question of survival in the coming world of AI, Basic Income, Robots, and conflict resolution. I also made two videos this week, which I posted to YouTube, on conflict resolution. ...
