Tankespjärn with Helena Roth
201 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingLearning how to do gentle towards yourself can be, for you, the key to loving living life. At least, that's what doing gentle did to me, Helena Roth, once I understood that it was actually an option.
Imagine having turned 30+ before ever realizing it's possible to be gentle with myself. From that moment in time, I've re-learned how to be in the world - both inside and outside of myself. Here I will be sharing the tools and tricks I've picked up along the way, hoping it will help you transform from a victim of the epidemic of harshness into a proud practitioner of doing gentle.

54. The algorithms don't invite tankespjärn. Conversations do. | with Matthew, Andy & Izzy
May 03, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBWrapping up season two I am filled with gratitude for the experience. All of it. From inviting conversation partners to setting up the first conversations, thoroughly enjoying conversations two and three, experiencing tugs at my heartstrings in conversation four and when finding times for the group reflections, to being a bit lost-for-words during the fifth and final (individual) conversations. At long last, I am brought to this point, where I am writing the episode description for the secon...
53. Conversations make for a great playground where learning is rife | with Inma, Reddy & Steve
April 26, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 76.7 MBRounding off season two (How IS it possible, that I’ve already had another 5x5 conversations?!), we do a repeat of what we did at the end of season one: getting everyone from the season together to share what it’s been like to partake. Here’s the first of two group conversations, with me, Reddy, Steve and Inma, chaperoned by Caspian who’s my behind-the-scenes man (and dear friend!). Having 5x5 deep real-life meandering conversations has been very instrumental in my personal growth ever sinc...
52. I blew it up! | with Steve Emery
April 19, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 76.1 MB‘I blew it up!’, he exclaimed, as we started talking, with Steve sharing his latest adventures, continuing, ‘I didn't mean to blow it up, but I blew it up.’ Well. There you go. The most fascinating things occur when doing internal work. Our processes have been running in parallel, with a lot of similarities and interweaving of experiences and issues, and as the same time, each of our processes are unique. I do process-oriented therapy for an hour and a half every week with a therapist, whi...
51. Taking yourself too seriously stops the flow of life | with Izzy
April 12, 2022 06:24 - 1 hour - 67.9 MBDo you take yourself seriously? Have a hard time laughing at yourself when you’ve done something whacky? Is it a heavy burden to be you, to achieve all you’ve set out to achieve, according to standards you hold no one to, except yourself? If so, you are in good company, as both me and Izzy have had our fair share of taking ourselves too seriously, with similarities and unique facets of what precisely that seriousness looks and feels like. I’ve come a long way in comparison with myself of...
50. Notifications are alarm clocks that someone else set for you | with Andy Mort
April 05, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBI am ruthless when it comes to notifications. Off is the name of the game for me, with one exception: text messages (the actually text messages, not WhatsApp, Signal, Messenger etc. Those are off too.) It bugs me, that any number of apps/services that I use, keep throwing a repeat question my way: You have notifications turned off. Sure you don’t wanna turn them on? YES! I am super-sure I don’t wanna turn them on. I have very deliberately and intentionally turned them off, and I’d like f...
49. Violence is bad and Maybe violence isn’t all that bad | with Reddy
March 29, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 155 MBMe and Reddy sat down for our fifth and final conversation on the 24th of February 2022, when Russia made their move on Ukraine. With that backdrop, perhaps you will not be surprised that our conversation circled around the concept of violence. But, not necessarily in the way you might think. We assume that we're good human beings if we are not violent. And we assume that if we are violent, then we are bad human beings. The simplicity of that statement makes it all the more violent, because...
48. Gifting is an indication that you want to be in community | with Matthew & Inma
March 22, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours - 115 MBGift culture and Place. Two terms that have been a common thread throughout all the conversations I’ve been having with Matthew and Inma in this season, and this, the fifth and final conversation, is no exception. Inma shares a lovely story of her grandmother always giving her this big box of chocolates on her Name Day, a day always celebrated with the entire extended family present, all the while knowing that Inma isn’t very fond of chocolates [I know. Just the idea that there are people ...
47. Judgement and discernment in reflection | with Steve Emery
March 15, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBFor years I’ve been reflecting on the concept of judgment only to have a revelation when discernment showed up casting a whole new light upon judgment. In this conversation, me and Steve meander into the quagmire of comparison and BAM – I make a connection I’ve not made before, seeing how comparison paired with either judgment or discernment really makes for two completely different scenarios, or energies. ‘Judgment is taking things and comparing them, deciding which one is above or below, ...
46. The discovery of our pleasures | with Izzy
March 08, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MB“I think it's so important that you have conversations with people on the podcast and you publish it [so] people can experience different people, basically different voices, different ways of thinking.” ~Izzy It’s fascinating how the common thread of each of these 5x5 conversations varies. Matthew, Inma and me speak a lot about space, place and the gift economy. Reddy and me have been travelling within and without, visiting the Himalayas and native lands, food and languages. A journey in th...
45. The rooted fire within | with Andy Mort
March 01, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 68.1 MBBraiding Sweetgrass. Written by Robin Wall Kimmerer. A book that comes up over and over again in my life, as a testament to the impact it’s making not just for me, but also for Matthew and Inma, for instance. Perhaps because we are all a part of the same Creative Community where that was the bookclub-choice for January of 2022. Andy asks who it’s for and however eager I am to burst out EVERYBODY. But that’s a bit lazy, honestly. Nothing or no one is for everybody, something I know to be t...
44. Connections - already there and always will be | with Reddy
February 22, 2022 01:00 - 3 hours - 194 MBConnection. Me and Reddy dive deep into connection in this our fourth conversation. (Again. Seems we come around to this central theme every conversation, even though it might take on slightly different shapes and colors.) Why, why is it so hard to imagine that everything is connected? Everyone is connected, all thoughts, all ideas, all emotions, all our feelings. Everything's connected. And I actually have to remind myself that I'm connected. ~ Reddy Have you ever felt disconnected? Sep...
43. Giving and receiving or buying and selling? | with Inma & Matthew
February 15, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours - 121 MBParaphrasing Inma who said something along the lines of ‘in any given day, there's more giving/receiving than buying/selling taking place on the planet’ I want to challenge you to think about it. If you read this before pressing play on the 43rd podcast episode, then maybe hold off for a minute or two. Close your eyes. Sense into it. What is buying/selling? Who is buying/selling? What’s the benefits and the drawbacks? How does it serve? And whom? And then. Lean into the other one. Giv...
42. Am I being me in every inner season? | with Steve Emery
February 08, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBI’m so miserable when I’m in my head, Steve says, after we’ve spent some time speaking about the fascinating aspect of wintering, which also happen to be the name of a book by Katherine May, a book I highly recommend you read/listen to. Surprisingly, this is one of those audiobooks I’ve not only listened to with great enjoyment, but actually relistened to. (Have not been a big fan of audiobooks as a way for me to read, but have found a few that I truly enjoy listening to, so warming to the c...
41. Do the work with your own triggers | with Izzy
February 01, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 70 MBTriggers. A concept that’s been popping up more and more all over these past few years. Urged to write Trigger warning or TW at the top of posts on social media, followed by a number of empty rows to make sure no one gets triggered by a question or statement or reflection on sexual assault, abortion, medical conditions, addictions, abuse and the like. Rallying cries for trigger-safe environments, especially in academia, scare the living bejesus out of me… how can we get better at dealing ...
40. Trademarked gifts aren’t really gifts | with Andy Mort
January 25, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 78.3 MBThree podcast episodes form the backbone of mine and Andy’s third meandering conversation. The Gentle Rebel Podcast-episode where Andy himself speaks with Sarah Santacroce about trademark, The Mythic Masculine-episode with Maya Luna about lack, adundance and trust, and how a lack of the two latter creates hoarding, and a conversation on Feel Better Live More between Rangan Chatterjee and Johann Hari where Johann shares a hearbreaking and -warming story from a Berlin council estate. This fac...
39. Finding our own roots through the roots of mountains | with Reddy
January 18, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours - 146 MBReddy had just returned from two weeks in the Himalayas when we sat down to talk, and this place, this majestic and mythical place, forms the centrepiece for most of our meandering conversation. The Himalayas, the actual mountains. Huge. Solid. Immovable? Permanent? Feels like it, at least from the perspective of a human life, which is nothing more than a blink in the longer arc of time that is earth-time, mountain-time. But like everything else, mountains also undergo transformation, alon...
38. There needs to be gravity and optimism at the same time | with Inma & Matthew
January 11, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 99.2 MBBoth me and Inma read Robin Wall Kimmerers book Braiding Sweetgrass in a reading retreat Zoom-session we attended together, and when we did, Inma said ‘This book is filled with what we’ve been talking about in our pod-conversations with Matthew’. I just started reading it, and even after only reading thirty pages, I totally get what she pointed to. No surprise then that Robin Wall Kimmerer made her way into this, our third conversation, too, and when Matthew exclaimed “I'm all for not litte...
37. The tankespjärn of removing to become rich | with Steve Emery
January 04, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 96.8 MBInspired by this (the second) conversation with Steve Emery, I just finished listening to The teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda. In the book, Castaneda speaks a lot about ordinary and non-ordinary reality, something which my experiences through process-oriented therapy and Steve’s work with Internal Family Systems sure weave a colourful tapestry of (or between?) those aspects of reality. Weird? Yeah. That’s the non-ordinary aspect of it. But not less real. No less a part of reali...
36. Unfolding intimacy on screen | with Izzy
December 29, 2021 14:49 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBJumping right in, I share my recent reading experience by Victoria Aveyard, Realm Breaker, a young adult fantasy book I really enjoyed. I prefer reading books in English for the simple reason that I enjoy sharing book quotes, and if they are in Swedish the audience is quite a lot smaller than when in English. Being an avid reader, reading a large quota of English books, this is one reason why my English vocabulary is so well-stocked. Sitting down to write this, I made the connection to what...
35. Parenting for creative works | with Andy Mort
December 21, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 80.2 MBCreativity, a form of parenting. If I were to describe this conversation with Andy Mort, that would be it. How creativity is a form of parenting. With the birth of a creative output of some kind, be it music, writings, art or any number of other possible ‘babies’. Tending to a newborn, quite fragile, needing a lot of attention and care, incapable of caring for itself. ‘Advancing the songs that I talked about last time, which had come out of nowhere and are now growing up very fast, like go...
34. Play cuts through every single border there is | with Reddy
December 14, 2021 01:00 - 3 hours - 175 MBReddy showed up in snazzy glasses and a newly painted background wall which set off off in this three-hour conversation. It also inspired me to put on a tiara I’d recently fallen in love with. And I almost don’t know how to even approach that… wearing a tiara is, no, has been, so far away from who I am, or at least from whom I think I am. And then, invited to put one on when I met up with my three wives (long story that one, suffice it to say these are three ladies very dear to my heart. We ...
33. The entanglement of grief and gift | with Inma & Matthew
December 07, 2021 01:00 - 2 hours - 128 MBAll the times when I’ve forgotten to bring a cassette or find out there's nothing in the machine, or I forget a push record, it's always like, oh, that was the most precious thing that you could ever have recorded. And I think of it like libations, like the original Greek notion of libations of this sacrificial offering. We use libations in terms of drinking, but that's just an adulteration of the original meaning, where you'd pour wine into the ocean or onto the sand just as you would sacr...
32. How do I let my body drive my creative work? | with Steve Emery
November 30, 2021 01:00 - 59 minutes - 55 MBSteve Emery’s an active member of the tankespjärn-community, a participant in many of the monthly calls. I can count on him to be open, curious and thoughtful, willing to listen and equally willing to share, so no wonder I found myself wanting to ask him to play with me in season two of the pod. Receiving his Yes had me jumping up and down in anticipation of getting to spend quality time with him recording our five meandering conversations. Steve is yet another gift courtesy of Matthew, and...
31. Body and mind both crucial to cope with ourselves | with Izzy
November 23, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBMatthew from episode 28 hooked me up with Izzy, and we had a Zoom together. She’s got an interesting background that she shared with me, so I asked if she was interested in continuing the conversation with me, as one of my conversation partners for season two. Indeed she was, and here’s our first meet-up. When we got on Zoom I’d just gotten back from taking a barefoot walk, which turned into a somewhat surprising starting point which led us down a long meandering conversation that centers a...
30. The everyday creativity of music, coaching and meandering | with Andy Mort
November 16, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBCaspian found Andy for me. I’d asked him to find some Instagram-accounts that might be of interest for me to follow and interact with, but he gave me a few bonuses. One of them was Andy, where he wrote ’Not an IG acc either, but a well worth read and possible friend’ adding a link to a piece entitled Gentleness is strength. I read it, loved it, and proceeded to find Andy on Twitter (he does have an IG-account too). Really enjoying what I saw and heard from him, I sent him a DM, and two mont...
29. Constantly, presently relating to our bodies | with Reddy
November 09, 2021 00:00 - 2 hours - 122 MBReddy. What a character. And wise. Our paths crossed on Twitter, which led him to ask if I wanted to do a Racket with him on tankespjärn. Sure, I said, as I am wont to do, finding a calendly-slot later that evening. We hooked up, had a blast talking and doing that Racket, so before ending out, I don’t know, in total 30 minute conversation, I’d asked him if he wanted one of the slots for season two of meandering conversations. He said Sure, as he is wont to do, and not even twenty-four hou...
28. To grow networking roots in the digital age | with Matthew Word Bain & Inma J. Lopez
November 02, 2021 02:00 - 1 hour - 93.3 MBWhen I started thinking of season two of meandering conversations I got the idea to shake it up a bit. What about having a conversation with not just one but two people? That’s why, here, you will meet both Matthew Word Bain –dear friend and wise soul, lover of creativeexpressions, taking form in the world through words, prose and poetry alike, photographs, music, video, and a knowledge that he’s ever so generously sharing, with me and many others. If I had to use one word for him, I’d say ...
27. Intermutual nakedness in loving company | with Gary Breads and Alison Coates
October 26, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 80.8 MBThe past season of ’Tankespjärn with Helena Roth’ is a series of five meandering conversations each with five people, a total of twenty-five episodes. No agenda, no time constraints, no purpose to fulfill as such, other than showing up and responding to what shows up. It’s been magic, and I love the diversity of these conversations. We’ve roamed the world together. Both the external world, but also, especially, the world(s) within us. When you get really naked, then your boundaries expand....
26. Spending magical spaces of time with people you love | with Frank, Mayke and Beverly
October 19, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBApproaching the end of my 5 x 5 conversations for this season of ’Tankespjärn with Helena Roth’ I get the idea to do a joint conversation with everyone involved, as a way to share and reflect together on what this experience has been like. I invited Caspian Almerud to moderate, and for those who haven’t figured it out, without Caspian there would be no pod! I record conversations, check for snippets and write the episode descriptions, and he does everything else. With seven people spread ac...
25. An amazing circle of friends is something you create and curate | with Gary Breads
October 11, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 85.6 MBFifth and final meandering conversation with Gary, in this season. Not my last conversation with Gary, luckily enough. And… that’s actually part of what we speak about, sparked by a tweet I recently came across, saying finding an awesome circle of friends is pure luck. It is so not luck that’s gotten me to a place where I have an amazing circle of friends, spanning the globe, friends I have the most rich and nourishing conversations, interactions and experiences with. That doesn’t just happ...
24. Trusting the process of not always planning every single step | with Alison Coates
October 05, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MBI should to have a plan, and I don’t, she said, Alison, two thirds of the way through her Scottish Adventure, when we hooked up for this fifth and final pod-conversation. Alison have sent me photos from her travels, photos of the most amazing vistas with rapidly shifting weather conditions, awakening my one true remaining travel-longings… to do Scotland alone. Much in the way Alison is doing it, without a set agenda, with nowhere to go, nowhere to be, except… wherever inclination, opportuni...
23. The decisive heart-searching is the beginning of a human way | with Mayke Vullings
September 28, 2021 19:13 - 1 hour - 92.7 MBInner work. Do you do it? If so, who, within you, is the one who does it? Say whuuuut, you might ask, but bear with me a moment. When I realized I had an Inner Dictator, or rather, that the internal voice most prevalent in my inner dialogue was this Dictator… I also learned that I didn’t have to take these words as truth. That was when I started on the journey of learning how to do gentle with myself. Because of that, I stopped being afraid of myself, stopped shying away from looking to...
22. Recognising humanity in others by finding it in ourselves | with Beverly Delidow
September 20, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 82.3 MBOh. Part of the process of releasing these podcast episodes, has me reading through the transcript of the conversation, picking out short parts that Caspian will then turn into raw snippets, that I listen to and verify their title, before he brands them. Optimally, I do this just before I sit down to write the episode description, as it brings the conversation fresh into my mind, and that’s precisely where I am at right now. And as I listened to Beverly musing on belief-systems, finding y...
21. Building for the future, with long arcs in mind | with Frank Ebbert
September 14, 2021 00:00 - 2 hours - 154 MBHaving the fifth and final round of (recorded) conversations with my fellow explorers of this first season of meandering conversations, I vacillate in feelings. Elated at all I’ve learned through the process. Thrilled at getting to know these five souls better. Amazed at witnessing myself in the company of each and every one of them and how that me kind of shape shifts and stays very true to who I am, all at once. Sad at knowing the season is coming to an end. Curious as to what might become...
20. Presence cuts through genre | with Gary Breads
September 07, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 73.7 MBGary (Breads, my meandering conversation-partner of this podcast episode) volunteers as an interfaith chaplain at a local hospital, something that has us diving deep into the concept (? Is that what it is?) of connection. When I did SuperCoach Academy in 2014, one of four weekends was dubbed connection weekend. The message from Michael Neil was that connection is already there. It’s not something we have to create, because it is the base, always and already there. Gary gave me some tankespj...
19. The fields of lack and abundance | with Alison Coates
August 31, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBIn August of 2020 I started a deep dive into shame, as shame was the Big Boss of the level of life that I’m currently at. I’d gotten through all the minor level-bosses, but had only circled the remaining one, and a year ago, I was done circling. It was time to dive deep into it, and many a conversation with Alison have touched upon the topic of shame and what I’ve found while exploring and playing around with the concept and my own reactions, responses and reveals… One of them, have been my...
18. Making the world more nuanced with a new set of crayons | with Mayke Vullings
August 24, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBIn the fourth conversation with Mayke we get real. Again. As always. Mayke is nervous, and wise as she is, she’s learned in life to start where she’s at. Real conversations. That’s what these conversations are, for me. Had a friend tell me he listened to the pod. He said he liked it, so I asked what it was he liked? That was his answer too. It’s real conversations. Inspired by Seth Godin, I riff how going from the 12-set box of crayons to the 64-set the world becomes more nuanced, richer an...
17. We don’t prepare, and yet magic keeps happening | with Frank Ebbert
August 17, 2021 00:00 - 2 hours - 140 MBToday is another day. What worked yesterday, was a thrill last week, made me feel on top of the world last month.. might not work at all, make me shrug my shoulders or feel at the bottom of the barrel today. Because today is another day. And it all depends. On my state of mind. How much sleep I’ve gotten lately. What food I’ve ingested, and how much or little. Whether or not there’s a cold lurking in the bushes, I’ve had a fight with my kids or there’s a massive headwind. It all depends...
16. Women of wide spaces | with Beverly Delidow
August 10, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 94.3 MBMy fourth conversation with Beverly Delidow of Here’s a Quarter takes place after she’s returned from a two-week photographic journey to Iceland and Grimsö. An intended 24-hr-visit to Iceland for me and my family, upon returning from Seattle/Vancouver in 2016, was cut short to 6 hours during which we managed to visit The Blue Lagoon, because I’d botched the time zone-differences upon booking our flights. Oops… Beverly, on the other hand, have been to Iceland twice, on trips specifically de...
15. A feeling of bliss that lands in us | with Gary Breads
August 02, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBThe first time I am conscious of having met Gary was in an Open Mic-session in The Creative’s Workshop, when he read a piece (oh. what. a. piece!) that somehow gave me a permission slip to read a post I’d written a few years earlier, entitled Bliss. I’d never attended Open Mic before, and was a bit concerned that Bliss would be too much. Turned out. It wasn’t. Being in conversation with Gary is, for me, like I’m given an ongoing permission slip. One where I, we, are just a thought away fr...
14. Daring to be vulnerable on record | with Alison Coates
July 26, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBIn a (non-recorded) conversation with Alison, she mentioned how uncomfortable she was with being recorded, having our conversations ”put out there” in the world. At the time, I asked if we could have this discussion on the pod. So. We did. That’s where we started off this time, and I have to say, I am honored to have a friend like Alison. Willing to dive deep, to open up, and me getting surprisingly emotional in tears now and again. (My kids lovingly tease me about how easily moved to tear...
13. Intimacy and into-me-see | with Mayke Vullings
July 20, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBWhat would you write if you were to write a hope-will? That is, a will that you leave behind when you die, containing your hopes. Heavily influenced by Ishmael and Daniel Quinn, that I’ve read and reread multiple times this year, my hope has me vying for a shift in mindset of modern man, which would have us stop wreaking havoc with the earth, and ’save ourselves’ (it’s us, human kind, that we are in danger of exterminating. Along with a lot of other species, certainly, but life and earth wi...
12. What’s made possible when seeing beyond what is | with Frank Ebbert
July 12, 2021 23:00 - 2 hours - 176 MBIn mine and Franks third conversation I cannot help myself but indulge in a bit of cathedral musings. I’d just read The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End by Ken Follett, also known as the cathedral or Kingsbridge series, where there are cathedrals being built. What these books point to is what’s made possible when seeing beyond what is. And somehow, through ingenuity, skill, effort and a lot of imagination, making what lies beyond what is, a reality. I shouldn’t have been surprise...
11. The ability to think for yourself is all but easy | with Beverly Delidow
July 05, 2021 23:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBIn the third conversation with Beverly Delidow of Here’s a Quarter we drop a lot of recommendations, all available at the bottom of this episode description, in case you get curious and wanna find out more. Diving into the difference between the laws of tribal and modern societies, the distinctive difference in their rally cries for redemption versus retribution reminded me of an amazing Moth-story by Hector Black, that I blogged about in April of 2014. Hectors tells a horrible story of his...
10. Creating the world through light | with Gary Breads
June 29, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBOops… Intro forgotten, remembered, only to be lost in space somewhere, somehow. So here’s an episode without my usual short introduction. If you want the brief version (yeah, right. When have I ever managed to be brief?) it’s about lessons learned through, or thanks to, online dating. Now for the musings of which there were plenty in this my second conversation with Gary Breads. Have you ever been ghosted? Duck-duck-go informs me:” Ghosting is when someone who used to be friendly or even r...
9. Questioning the shortage of housing | with Alison Coates
June 22, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBAs we start to meander, before long we come to talk about gardens, houses, and housing as a human right, no less. My brother lives in the UK, and I remember him house-hunting, being fascinated by the different facts presented in the house listings, when compared to Sweden. But this was basically just a warm-up for the first real doozie: Is there a housing shortage (in the UK)? That’s the story everyone is being told, at least, and it rubs Alison the wrong way, let me tell you. Or, rather, ...
8. What gives you vision if your eyes can’t? | With Mayke Vullings
June 15, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 94.4 MBMayke has recently gone through eye surgery. Curious as I am (a biologist at that, with a GP for a mom, who was in med-school for most of my childhood, which meant there were loads of creepy and enticing medical textbooks lying around to look at, oh how exciting!) I couldn’t help but ask a question that’s been on my mind… Does eyes have pain receptors? As I read the transcript from our conversation, I duck-duck-go ”pain receptors eye” and am met by the suggested question: are there pain rec...
7. We learn about our beliefs in practice, not in theory | with Frank Ebbert
June 08, 2021 00:00 - 2 hours - 165 MBNow, Frank is an architect, and it just so happens, I’ve worked a lot with facilities in the pharma industry. At the moment, I’m busy with a project building a facility, and I get to do that what I both love doing and am really good at: design the layout of a plant. I. Love. It. I cannot say that I understand why but perhaps it satisfies the same part of me that enjoys a good puzzle? There’s the constraint of a plot or existing facility, within which you have to fit desired functions. But ...
