Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 15 - Evolve Geopolitics with Matt Ehret

In this next instalment of the Evolve series on the evolution of culture and society, Beth is joined by historian, journalist, author, speaker, editor, and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation, Matt Ehret, for a wide-angle conversation on geopolitics.This episode asks deeper questions than the usual headlines allow.Rather than focusing solely on villains, conspiracies, or surface-level power struggles, this conversation explores how power itself has evolved over time — and how culture, creativity, and human intention have shaped (and reshaped) the geopolitical landscape.Together, we explore:How power structures have historically formed, fractured, and transformedWhat arose organically from culture versus what was engineered by shifting centers of powerHow empires, ideologies, and institutions evolve in response to human consciousnessWhy understanding history matters if we want a different futureHow to stay oriented toward optimism and agency without denying real harm or corruptionMatt brings a rare blend of historical depth and future-oriented vision, offering a perspective that doesn’t collapse into despair — but instead points toward human creativity as an active force in history.This episode of Beth of Fresh Air is an invitation to look at geopolitics not as a fixed chessboard controlled by unseen hands, but as a living process — one that is still unfolding, and still open to influence.Learn More About Matt Ehret🌐 Website: https://risingtidefoundation.net📲 Telegram: @RisingTideFoundationMatthew is a journalist and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation.

My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family’s firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight.Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life’s work and walk their Hero’s Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.
