The 25 highlights in the conversations portion of this channel, on a backdrop of the improvisations you'll hear:


  • Bob: having seen the effects of climate change first hand…
  • Kamran: found myself reading about Woodrow Wilson, Aldís…
  • Catherine: I’m working on ancient climate change...
  • Shubham: the atmosphere of Venus is like a living hell for humans
  • Aryn: one time I walked 60 blocks because the compost wasn’t where it usually was
  • Daniel: get some sweat in, shower, and I’m ready to start my day… 6AM except Sundays
  • William: When you do the white coat ceremony, you remember you’re really here to take care of people and patients.
  • Adam: Everyone in my family is under my care of the longevity diet and I’m happy to report they’re doing quite well.
  • Assaad: I went back into ballroom dancing; there’s more to life than – at that point – law school 
  • Audrey: I have this whole stack of old t-shirts and a forever shortage of underwear, and I recently had the brilliant idea to just turn those darn t-shirts into underwear!
  • Erik: I don’t want to compromise in the way I live my life, and so going electric feels like small way to say I’m committing to a better future.
  • Sydney: Once you’ve committed for enough time, I’ve noticed that I don’t view animal products as food anymore.
  • Shannon: That's a good example for my biology students because we talk about conservation and I’m running and biking and so simultaneously reducing my carbon footprint.
  • Gabrielle: It’s difficult to walk the talk if you don’t have people who’re going to check you. You need those friends who're going to say 'you said you weren't going to eat chicken today, why are you eating chicken?'
  • Stan: aerobus zero gravity experiments
  • Sushen: going deep into a subject of interest
  • Peter: to address accessibility problems with AI
  • Neil: because I started to realize that business is a good way to bring about the social changes that can be hard to make in the public or non-profit sector.
  • Aldís: It's really a lifelong goal to be part of this climate movement and move the dial forward on solutions for the planet and its people
  • Kamran: I always want to be a first an ideas person before I’m a technical or legal professional if you will
  • Brabeeba: So actually I didn't have a specific concentration; I switched every year. [gasp!]
  • Peter: I have a lot of love for my metamour
  • Sydney: Let's question these conventions a little bit more and find out what we actually want
  • Kamran: All of these movements at their core are really about injustice and unjust power
  • Gabrielle: When I do embody that power that I have as a Black femme, they don’t know what to do with it!
  • Assaad: Just plugging along with my writer’s group; at the time of recording, I'm writing Chapter 7.
  • Noah: Improvisation streaks where I'll sit down play for like 5 hours.
  • Gustav: Essentially my life has been mostly about art.
  • Nathan: We built this little device that can do digital contact tracing [for COVID]
  • Emma: If you work hard but don't take things too seriously, it's fine.
  • Cameron: We’re drawing from a ton of collective knowledge, enriching the hive mind, the collective.
  • Sinwah: anytime I can earn money, but to chase my dream is something I can only do when I’m within 20s.


What’s your talk, and how do you walk it?
