Ep 099 Every Moment Is Sacred feat. Padma Gordon

The Mosaic Podcast

i was amazed at how much we shared in common and how in one conversation we could go so deep. this was one of the few conversations i have had where we both held the space for the other to be loved and accepted, listened to and heard and acknowledged and validated. it is what she does in the work she does too.

Ep 098 The Kindness Activist with Leigh M. Clark

in a time where so often people are not kind to each other, this conversation is even more important now than ever before. inherent in each of us is a desire to be kind to one another and to help those who are in need. witness the way we are in times of adversity, where both sides of an issue comes together to helps get through that moment, it is this kindness that Leigh wants to initiate in us and remind us of all the time.

Ep 097 Love Is Just Damn Good Business with Steve Farber

The Mosaic Podcast

this is one of those pivotal conversations that you just have to listen to. it was unique not only in the conversation we had but in the application of how to introduce love into the business arena. watch how he brings that culture of love in in a way that corporate people can understand and thens peaks of what happens when your team says, “i love working here.” and your clients say, “ i love what these people do."

Ep 096 Reinventing The Planet with David Gershon

The Mosaic Podcast

this is a conversation that you have to listen to. it is unique not only in what we spoke of but in the ability and flexibility of David, a brilliant man, to be kind and generous enough to change direction midstream with me and move away from what most if not everyone wants him to share, to answer my quirky questions and to challenge his own edges.

Ep 095 It’s Ok To Be Human with Andrea Garfield

The Mosaic Podcast

i found our conversation to be easy, like sitting on the front porch in a comfortable chair sipping a lemonade. there was something very clean and wholesome about it. we spoke about feeling feelings, how we learn to be separate, the gift of children, and more.. i could tell you all about it, but that would rob you of the opportnity to experience this conversation for yourself from your own point of view and feel what you feel from it.

Don't let her age fool you, Brialle Ringer has gone through a lot, done a lot of inner work to heal, and has a brilliant mind that sees the world differently.

Ep 093 Catching The Moment We Become Who We Are with Trina Bardusco

The Mosaic Podcast

i have always felt the essence of The Mosaic, was listening to people no one listens to. i watch them transform from who i thought they were to who they are. this happens in my seeing something i never saw in them before, AND . . .

Ep 092 When Curiosity Meets Listening with Martin Lopez

The Mosaic Podcast

i must say, this was one of the most interesting podcasts that i have ever done, because in the middleman our conversation, Martin stepped back to analyse what he was thinking and feeling from a curiosity perspective and then i did the same thing from a place of holding space and listening.

Ep 091 When Fiction Becomes Reality - Sugar Mountain with Alfred Alcorn

The Mosaic Podcast

Sometimes in the world of fiction and science fiction, a writer writes a story only to find years later, what the writer saw happen, actually happens. Alfred Alcorn is not a prophet, a psychic or a doomsayer, he is just a brilliant author who has seen enough of the world to tell stories of a world that could be.

Bio:

Jim Nelson and Rene Agredano are a married couple who live, work and write from the road in their RV. Their nomadic life began in 2007, when they sold their home, business and nearly everything they owned to travel with their terminally-ill dog, Jerry.

Given just a few months to live after his leg amputation, Jerry’s bone cancer diagnosis at age eight turned their lives upside down and around. But against all odds, Jerry defied the bleak prognosis. He enjoyed two unforgettable years hopping along on three legs, from coast-to-coast and back again. Wherever he went, his joyful nature inspired others to look beyond adversity and embrace the present moment.

The trio founded Tripawds.com, the world’s largest support community for three legged pets and their people. Later in 2014 they formed the non-profit Tripawds Foundation to aid amputee pets. The couple continues managing Tripawds and chronicling their travels at liveworkdream.com.

What is our purpose?

Rene: To help underserved people and animals feel heard, supported and valued.

Jim: I believe I am here to help people Be More Dog, especially in times of distress or challenge. Jerry taught us about Resilience, Acceptance, Perseverance, Lovingkindness, Awareness, Gratitude...I'm paying that forward.

Instead of just "helping people smile" as I originally answered, I do the work I do to help pet parents cope with difficult situations by following their dog's lead.
