    8.13: On the Same Frequency: Heritage, Humanity, and the Power of Listening with Maria Bakari

    What if the past isn’t behind us - but still speaking, through stories, spaces, and even the buildings around us?In this rich and reflective conversation, Tim sits down with facilitator, counselor, and radio host Maria Bakari to explore the deep connections between people, place, and participation. From the ancient island of Rhodes to European youth work and civic engagement initiatives, Maria shares how her work brings individuals and communities into meaningful relationship—with each other and with their shared heritage.Together, they explore the idea of “mythological time,” the hidden stories held within landscapes and architecture, and how engaging citizens in creative and participatory processes can transform not just communities, but our sense of belonging.The conversation also turns to the quiet power of radio in a fragmented digital world—where being “on the same frequency” becomes both a literal and metaphorical act of connection.Grounded, poetic, and deeply human, this episode invites us to listen more closely - to each other, to our environments, and to the enduring threads that connect past, present, and future.Resources:Learn more about, and follow, The Outside by visiting and liking all of our channels:Website: www.findtheoutside.com&nbsp;Facebook &amp; Instagram: @findtheoutside &nbsp;LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/findtheoutsideConnect with us at [email protected] Maria Bakari Hosted on Acast.

    8.12: Sh*t’s Weird - Clarity, Doubt, and Doing the Next Right Thing

    In a world that feels increasingly unpredictable, how do we know what’s ours to do?In this episode, Tim and Tues reflect on recent conversations with Zaid Hassan and Sommer Sibilly-Brown - two leaders taking bold, values-driven action in complex times. Together, they explore the tension between clarity and doubt, the limits of strategy in a rapidly changing world, and why action - not perfection - is what moves things forward.From climate anxiety to leadership fatigue, this conversation doesn’t shy away from the weight of the moment. But it also offers something grounding: a reminder that we don’t need all the answers to begin. Sometimes, it’s about trusting what’s clear, noticing what’s habitual, and doing the next right thing in front of us.Resources: Learn more about, and follow, The Outside by visiting and liking all of our channels:Website: www.findtheoutside.com&nbsp;Facebook &amp; Instagram: @findtheoutside &nbsp;LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/findtheoutsideConnect with us at [email protected] Zaid Hassan&nbsp;Listen to the episode with ZaidMeet Sommer Sibilly-BrownListen to the episode with SommerNeil deGrasse Tyson – Host of CosmosCarl SaganBilly BraggTony Ben &amp; Roy Bailey – “The Winter Turns to Spring"Lucas JonesJoin Tim on InstagramCheck out The Outside’s Berkana Two Loops of Systems Change online course Hosted on Acast.

    8.08: This Reality, That Reality, and the One We Choose to Live In

    On today’s episode, Tim and Tuesday reflect on two recent conversations with Meg Buzzi and Chris Keevil and follow the threads that emerged long after the recording stopped. What unfolds is a wide-ranging, deeply human dialogue about courage, leadership, imagination, and how we decide what&nbsp;really&nbsp;matters in turbulent times.They explore the tension between reflection and action, the false choice between staying informed and staying well, and what it means to make a “true move” when certainty is impossible.
