The Ten Thousand (10,000) Heroes Show

157 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratings

10,000 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.

#00077 Ank’s Baby Steps Towards Integrating Red (Anger, Adrenaline, Warrior mindset)

March 15, 2023 12:00 - 12 minutes - 18.6 MB

What did this episode awaken in you? Don’t be shy. https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow   I’m continuing the thread Jeff Salzman laid out for me last week, and investigating what is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL about the “Red” level of development. Specifically: Anger, Adrenaline, and the Warrior mindset.   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow Email: [email protected] Podcast website: http://momentumlab.com/podcast Momentum Lab: http://www.momentumlab.com   About...

#00076 Nate and Ank: Is there space for everybody’s pain?

March 13, 2023 13:00 - 24 minutes - 33.6 MB

    Today’s episode is a brief investigation of what it takes to respond out of compassion instead of out of pain. Nate is asking and I’m giving mostly unsatisfactory responses. By the third attempt though, it gets to something useful for him.   On this topic especially – dear listener – we would love to hear your thoughts…   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow Email: [email protected] Podcast website: http://momentumlab.com/podcast Momentum Lab: http:...

#00075 You don’t need to feel so alone: The Social Change Map with Deepa Iyer

March 11, 2023 13:01 - 1 hour - 85.8 MB

What did this episode awaken in you? Don’t be shy. https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow   Deepa Iyer is a veteran of social change movements, dating back at least 20 years to post 9/11 hate crimes. In this interview we take it way back and trace the throughline of justice and belonging from Deepa’s childhood to today. We then present Deepa’s Social Change Map, offer some approaches to quenching burnout, and discuss guilt and shame as windows into deeper personal inquiry.   Deepa is t...

#00074 What does Red Ank look like (with guest Jeff Salzman)

March 09, 2023 13:00 - 24 minutes - 34.8 MB

Today I’m going to make the experiment a bit personal. If I’m here to be my fullest most integrated self, and live up to my potential, then Jeff Salzman would probably tell me I had to integrate ALL the wisdom and ALL the learning from every stage of our human journey, both personal and societal.   In fact, that’s exactly what he told me in this episode, and he gave me some hints on how to to do it, especially with regard to anger, conflict, and the power of raw emotion.   Consider t...

#00073 Nate and Ank debrief Ashanti (And why Ank loves it when people cry)

March 06, 2023 13:00 - 24 minutes - 34.4 MB

Nate and Ank explore the powerhouse tour de force round of amazement that was Ashanti’s episode a few weeks ago, and Nate takes the opportunity to get deeper into what Ank is actually trying to do, both on this episode, this podcast, and with human interaction in general…   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow Email: [email protected] Podcast website: http://momentumlab.com/podcast Momentum Lab: http://www.momentumlab.com   About our sponsor: 10,000 Heroe...

#00071 Feedback on the Katy Bowman episode – is the cast in the chair or is it in our minds?

March 04, 2023 13:40 - 7 minutes - 10.6 MB

Ring the bell! This is a new kind of episode and one that I’m really excited about – because this podcast is about building a community of purpose, and community takes interaction.   So it’s our first off-the-shelf community response to an episode. Joanna Cutler “called in” and left her take on the Katy Bowman episode. It’s short, it’s sweet, it’s thought provoking – everything a listener call-in should be.

#00072 Josh Morrison, co-founder of Frolic, on the resurgence of housing co-operatives (and the sordid history of home ownership in the US)

March 04, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 91.5 MB

  In today’s show, I got a real education.   I thought talking with Josh would focus on the benefits of living in community – and we got there, alongside his own uncommon childhood and what he took from it – but we really started with the history of home ownership in the US, which I knew absolutely nothing about.   Fascinating. Sordid. Creepy. And just a few key points are enough to explain so much about racism, segregation, wealth gaps, fear of the other.   Luckily for us, it’...

#00070 What is community and how do we build it? with community jammer Shilpa Jain

February 25, 2023 13:00 - 41 minutes - 58.3 MB

  One of my unconscious obsessions is community. Basically: I love hanging out.   (And I’m good at it)   So I’m getting a few people whom I love, I admire, and I’ve learned from to share their wisdom around building community with me. And the first one is today’s episode with Shilpa Jain (Who was on in the first season of this show).   Here are the questions I posed to Shilpa at the outset:   1) What is your definition of community? 2) How do you know if you're in a commu...

#00069 What do Sugar Addiction, Boredom, and the Boddhisatva Vow have in common (Answer: Jeff Salzman)

February 22, 2023 13:00 - 11 minutes - 12 MB

Part of our ongoing conversation with Jeff Salzman is how to integrate multiple points of view, so we can learn and include as we go through life instead of just Rejecting Things We Don’t Like.   Jeff highlights for us how that integration often happens: through Boredom. He gives an example from his own life if getting Bored with his own perspective, and letting that open him to other ways interpretations.   I like his take because there’s nothing saintly about it. It’s not the resul...

#00068 Ank: The Paradox of Planning and Relaxation

February 20, 2023 13:15 - 14 minutes - 14 MB

This episode is about reconciling opposites. In this case, planning and relaxation. I introduce a tool I use called the Chain of Inspiration, which helps me connect the uninspiring actions I might have to take in the near term with what really calls to me in terms of action and results in the long term.    We use the Chain of Inspiration concept regularly in Momentum Lab with profound results. Remember it and use it on yourself (when appropriate).   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://...

#00067 Jan Canty on Truer Than True Crime: The Real World Consequences of Murder

February 18, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 56.6 MB

This interview is about lemons, lemonade, and murder.   When Jan Canty’s husband of 11 years was murdered (decades ago), it turned her life upside down and inside out. But she ended up taking that energy, harvesting it, and used it to save her own life (first from depression, then from cancer), and has now dedicated her life to providing resources for homicide survivors, and education for the respect of us.    A truly inspiring anecdote about the power and possibility of purpose, eve...

#00066 Ank: An experiment in proactive gratitude

February 15, 2023 13:00 - 14 minutes - 13.5 MB

  So this is a bit of a strange episode. It’s a kind of gratitude meditation, in public. Which I’ve never really done before! But the idea is to take the theory Matt laid out in the pro-active gratitude episode and lay it out with respect to the bread. To go deep and acknowledge all those factors that conspire to make our lives possible.   And to do so not just when they go wrong (oops I broke my ankle, so grateful for my body…) but while they are still humming along.   Show Links:...

#00065 Nate's Dream (Hell?) Vacation on Holbox

February 13, 2023 13:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

  In today’s episode, Nate gives us the harrowing download of his supposedly fun vacation on a Mexican sandar. We enter into themes of (ir)responsible travel and the legacy of imperialism, and receive some good storytelling from Nate.   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow Email: [email protected] Podcast website: http://momentumlab.com/podcast Momentum Lab: http://www.momentumlab.com   About our sponsor: 10,000 Heroes is brought to you by Momentum Lab....

#00064 Interview: Ashanti Branch on what young men are getting, missing, hiding, and revealing at school

February 11, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MB

  In this episode Ankur interviews Ashanti Branch, founder of the Ever-Forward Club (based in Oakland) and prophet of bringing emotional literacy to young men.    As I relistened to the episode, Ashanti’s path (and passion) seem even more radical to me: the dominant narratives around “what to do with” young men who are not on the success track seem to be Prison (“Tough Love”) and Shape Up and Go To College. Ashanti is claiming to have the same (or better) results as the College Track b...

#00063 Jeff Salzman on an Integral Approach to Abortion

February 10, 2023 13:00 - 26 minutes - 25.3 MB

  The whole point of the Teal Society project is this gambit that every side, every perspective, is holding on to a fragment of The Truth. And that this Truth, this Right Thing, exists, and we can find it if we put together our puzzle pieces in just the right way.   So I thought of the most contentious and heart-rending issue out there – at the center of the culture wars – and asked Jeff to give “The Integral Take” on it, which he very kindly did.    The approach he presented is pu...

#00062 Matt Coffman on Proactive Gratitude

February 08, 2023 13:00 - 13 minutes - 12.9 MB

  For this week’s supposedly “solo” cast I’m going to share a perspective from my friend (and Momentum Lab co-founder) Matt Coffman on gratitude. And then next week I’m going to give an example of proactive gratitude based on my daily sourdough bread practice.   Proactive gratitude is really deep and really transformative.

#00061 Ank finally learns about Oprah (by the grace Robyn Brecker)

February 04, 2023 13:00 - 51 minutes - 71.5 MB

If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you probably know that I have a lot of blind spots.   Sports. Movies. Pop music. Etc.   In today’s episode, I get an unexpected education about Oprah, en route to getting to what purpose is for my guest, Robyn Miller Brecker.    I love this interview because on the face of it, Robyn and I are coming from very different cultures. And at the essence of it, we care about the same things: purpose, self-love, gratitude, how to build tr...

#00060 Feedback: John Giuliano on Gandhi

February 03, 2023 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MB

I’m back with one of my greatest heroes this week, John Giuliano. I did a big long interview with John a couple of weeks ago (#00053), and my goal now is to have little conversations like this one on a regular basis.    I got John’s take on the solocast I did on Gandhi’s letter to Hitler (#00049) – and the connection between the scientific method and gandhi’s non-violence. It was perfect timing, as I happened to call John just as we was emerging from 3 days of fasting and silence on his ...

We’re getting into it this time – love, value, service, and the meaning of life – through a 5 minute introduction and a wild hypothesis I have of our potential for happiness and contribution.    It’s a sensitive topic, so I’m going to work in some sourdough bread to take the edge off….   En garde!

#00058 A love letter to Movement Literacy: Nate Ramos, Katy Bowman, and Moshe Feldenkrais

January 30, 2023 22:54 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

Hey everybody! Today’s episode is a debrief: Nate and I talked about the last episode with movement guru Katy Bowman. Nate helps unpack some of the context behind Katy’s work, and applies her style of thinking not only to the “health” inflection of the body, but to what it can mean for our potential to pay attention to movement in the way Katy is proposing.   For individuals of course, but also for society as a whole.   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow E...

#00057 That Chair is a Cast: The movement (not exercise!) gospel of Katy Bowman

January 28, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 101 MB

This week’s interview is with Katy Bowman. While Katy is officially a biomechanist, she’s best known as an award-winning author who reaches hundreds of thousands of people every month. She has published eight books and been all over TV, but I know her mainly as an incredibly thoughtful and creative person (and friend).   As I was reviewing this interview, I think the thing I was proudest off is that she spends most of her time off-message, just exploring our interests together and applyi...

#00056 Jeff Salzman weighs in on Ank’s definition of “Teal Society”

January 27, 2023 13:00 - 17 minutes - 24.9 MB

  Hey, Ankur here. I really stuck my neck out on this one: Recklessly recording an off-the-cuff definition of a term people have worked on for decades (Teal) Playing that definition live for a personal hero of mine (Jeff Salzman, host of the Daily Evolver, and 10kk #00041) Giving him the microphone to comment on it.   Luckily, it wasn’t that bad… But Jeff does a lovely job of providing all the context I left out of the Solocast on the Teal Society (#00046). And if you didn’t listen...

#00055 Ank's Solocast : The Lao Tzu Dinner Party In 7 Easy Steps

January 25, 2023 13:00 - 14 minutes - 27.4 MB

(with apologies to the estate of Lao Tzu…)   I think we're coming to the conclusion of a cycle here. The first solocast I did this quarter was about this notion of the Teal Society.   The second got into the similarities between two seemingly different tools or worldviews: Loving One’s Enemies and The Scientific Method, both of which I think we're going to need to assimilate into the core of being if we want to get to this Teal Society thing   And the third was about accountabili...

#00054 The space between wandering and lostness (Ank and Nate debrief John Giuliano’s life and storytelling)

January 23, 2023 13:00 - 36 minutes - 51 MB

This was both an easy and tough episode to record.   John Giuliano being one of my mentors and heroes, I could talk about him for days (or more). But to really capture the essence of what he brings us, with his Being, is beyond my ability to share.   But, you know, Nate and I did our best.   We get into Romero, Gandhi, John’s history with prisons, the difference between having an orchestrated plan and having an unorchestrated exploration, and what lies in between.   Nate rete...

#00053 John Giuliano on growing up in the Bronx with Dorothy Day, the Berrigans, The El Salvadoran war, and what it means to share

January 21, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 95.7 MB

My guest this episode is John Giuliano. You’ve probably never heard of him, but he’s a real, true hero. And not just in the sense of knowing how he wants to contribute, but actually in terms of the relationship he cultivates between himself and others.   He gets, on a fundamental level, that this distinction between self and other is an illusion, and therefore, that the whole notions of selfishness and altruism have very little ground to stand on.   I met John 20 years ago as a senio...

#00052 Ank: Why community (and the dinner party) is essential to achieving impossible goals

January 18, 2023 13:00 - 10 minutes - 20.3 MB

So this is the 3rd part in what might be a 4-part series this quarter. In this episode I outline a line of dependence from:   Achieving impossible goals The hidden hard part of planning Maintaining consistency through inspiration and accountability The role of community in accountability   Which should perfectly set us up for the dinner party episode (next week).   I take a couple of detours into how we can see Imposter Syndrome as a helpful/positive, and debate the virtues...

#00051 If we’re all artists, then what are we all doing with our lives? Nate and Ank unpack Micah and Melvin’s incredible performance

January 16, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 51.6 MB

After some initial roasting and banter, Nate gets down to business and tries to understand what Melvin means by bringing love to the darkness.   That completed, he then interrogates Micah’s assertion that we’re all artists.   If that’s true – if being an artist is YOUR birthright – then what are we all doing with our time (since it’s probably not art)?   We get into that and explore how we can each make art present in our lives no matter what it seems we’re supposed to be doing w...

#00050 The Most Inspiring Musicians I've ever met: Micah Lapidus and Melvin Myles

January 14, 2023 13:00 - 55 minutes - 102 MB

In this episode, I try to unpack the Noah Rasheta episode with Nate. He gives me some lip, including throwing shadows over the whole project last year around Purpose, and questioning whether anybody – including Noah – finds that concept useful. We fight a little bit and make up.    Nate tries to bring it back to Feldenkrais (like he always does), I try to bring things around to Gandhi (like I always do), and we end up somewhere between Pema Chodron and the 15 Commitments of Conscious Lea...

#00049 Ank on Gandhi’s letter to Hitler and the improbability of modern science

January 11, 2023 13:00 - 11 minutes - 20.9 MB

I have two main goals with these solocasts: advancing the mission of this podcast, and getting more interaction with our listener community. So far it’s working: I just had a conversation with Jeff Salzman (#00041) about my definition of the Teal Society last time around (#00046).   I thought he was going to body slam me, and maybe he did, but it was surprisingly gentle.   So this time, I’m going to talk about Gandhi, who is one of my true loves and teachers. My proposal is that, as ...

#00047 It’s time to Be Who You Are with Noah Rasheta

January 07, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 115 MB

The first interview of Season 5! The first interview of 2023! I am so excited!   I’m also delighted to have had some really beautiful moments with my guest, Noah Rasheta.   Noah’s probably best known as the host of the Secular Buddhism podcast, and an author, and a paragliding instructor. I was really moved by his story – from Dan Greening, a previous guest – and I really benefited from his story, and his Vibe.   The “Vibe” is a hard concept to define. For me, it’s something abou...

#00046 Ank on The Teal Society, Moral Relativism, Loving Your Enemies, Gandhi, MLK Jr, and You.

January 04, 2023 13:00 - 11 minutes - 22.3 MB

I’m trying something new. Szechuan peppers. Just kidding, I’ve liked those for a long time.   Solocasts. My idea with this project is to explore the relationship between community building (#irl, not just for marketing), learning from opposing/contradictory points of view, and our collective evolution as a society (the codeword is Teal, from the integral philosophy and spiral dynamics people).   Today’s episode is a jumping-off point. I throw out some ideas, giving some intellectual ...

This is Ten Thousand Heroes and I’m Ankur Shah Delight.   Welcome back and Happy New Year.   This episode marks the crossing of a threshold. After over 18 months in existence, and our first 80 episodes under our built, I wanted to share my goals for the podcast in 2023, and some first steps of how I think I’m going to get there.   My big, hairy, audacious goal (Thanks Jim) for this podcast is to throw a giant party in the summer of 2023 that will bring together the 10kh community...

#00044 What, concretely, is stopping you from living your purpose? (w/ Matt Coffman)

December 24, 2022 13:00 - 49 minutes - 91.9 MB

Matt Coffman is one of my best and oldest friends. It’s actually hilarious that it took 44 interviews to get him on the show, and my intention – with you as my witness, dear listener – is that there will never been a gap that long again.   For this conversation, I wanted to flip our normal narrative about purpose on its head, and get into the question of what is stopping the humans (you, me, everyone) from living our purpose.   True to form, Matt starts at the beginning. The precondi...

The Power of the Life Review – Ank and Nate debrief Amy Robbins

December 17, 2022 13:00 - 28 minutes - 39.6 MB

  This whole season we’ve been talking about purpose. In today’s episode, Nate and I discuss how Amy Robbins’s approach to death can influence that sense of purpose   One thing I loved is this specter of “The Life Review” that Amy brings to us. How can anticipating the moment of our death give us insight as to how to live our lives? How can it contribute to our our sense of vision, meaning, and purpose?   We also discuss the two ways in which we use the question “Why” – one to expl...

#00043 What kind of scientist starts talking to the dead? (A conversation with Dr. Amy Robbins)

December 14, 2022 14:37 - 55 minutes - 44.8 MB

I know I’m not supposed to have favorites. And I have favorites. And this episode is a little my favorite (so far). Maybe it’s just because I had no idea what to expect, and when the psychologist I was talking to (Amy) revealed she speaks to the dead, I was totally thrown off balance… which made the rest of the interview really fun.   My conversation with Amy also really puts my theories and big talk about humility to the test: What are we willing to claim is impossible, just because we ...
