EP296: “Four Thousand Weeks” with Cheryl K. Johnson 04/09/2024

EP296: “Four Thousand Weeks” with Cheryl K. Johnson Author Cheryl K. Johnson joins us to discuss one of her favorite books, Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. Guest Bio Cheryl was a research director for nearly twenty years until boxing training gave her the courage to leave corporate life for something that felt more like her true self. Box Lunch Lifestyle is how she now helps people realize that richer, more satisfying lives aren’t as distant as they seem. Secretly, Cheryl loves grocery stores: small family-owned ones, national chains, co-ops, and the corner convenience store. Seeing everyday life through the lens of what food is available, and what people actually buy, fascinates her—and reinforces her disdain for weight loss programs and companies that thrive by selling non-nutritious food. When she’s not boxing, reading, or pushing a cart, Cheryl and her husband enjoy documentary films and Indian food. They live near St. Paul, MN, in a town that Cheryl describes as a cross between Lake Wobegon and Twin Peaks.

EP272: Why and How to Retreat with Jim Eastburn 11/09/2023

EP271: How to See Homelessness Differently with Kevin Adler 11/07/2023

EP271: How to See Homelessness Differently with Kevin Adler Homelessness is complicated. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons so many of us have such a hard time looking directly at the issue and the people it impacts. This week, we dive into the book, When We Walk By: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America with author and social entrepreneur Kevin Adler. We touch on such topics as relational poverty, look at the societal cost of indifference and discuss the potential for evidence-based, people-first, and community-driven solutions that make a difference. Guest Bio Kevin Adler is an award-winning social entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and author. His latest book, WHEN WE WALK BY, will be published on November 7th, 2023, and is based on his pioneering work over the past decade tackling homelessness and “relational poverty” on the streets. Since 2014, Kevin has served as the founder and CEO of MIRACLE MESSAGES, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people experiencing homelessness rebuild their social support systems and financial security, primarily through family reunifications, a phone buddy program, and basic income pilots. Kevin’s work has been featured widely, including in the New York Times, Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, and in his TED Talk. Kevin is also the author of Natural Disasters as a Catalyst for Social Capital, a book that explores how shared traumas can unite or divide communities. Kevin has been honored as a Presidential Leadership Scholar, TED Resident, and Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. He received his MPhil in sociology from the University of Cambridge and his BA in politics from Occidental College. Motivated by his late mother’s work teaching at underserved nursing homes, and his late uncle’s 30 years living on the streets, Kevin believes in a future where everyone is seen as invaluable and interconnected.
