National Geographic photographer and conservationist Jaime Rojo has spent decades capturing the beauty and fragility of the monarch butterfly. Their epic migration is one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles, but their survival is under threat. In this episode, Jaime shares how his passion for photography and conservation led him to document the monarchs’ journey. He and host Brian Lowery discuss the deeper story behind his award-winning images, one about resilience, connection, and the urgent need to protect our natural world.

Ep 7 LF "Entrepreneurs, M4A, Planned Obsolescence, & Human Rights" 22:50

hace 4 years22:50

22:50

On today's show we examine how the belief that health insurance should be tied to employment undermines entrepreneurship. We also clarify that entrepreneurship is not just scalable tech enterprises. It is the neighborhood restaurant, pub, or boutique. It is the independent therapist, electrician, home inspector, artist, hair stylist, or the local non-profit. We talk about how our conditioned consumerism and planned obsolescence not only detrimentally affects our consumer debt, but also fosters human rights abuses around the world. Lastly, I want to express gratitude to my listeners and ask you a question. "Thanks again for following and supporting Looking Forward with Michael Bazan. I wanted to ask all of you a question. I’m thinking of developing LF Daily, which as the name implies would be daily, at least Monday – Friday. Now, with the current format, my goal was to tell more of a historical story, one that stands the test of time a bit better than a daily show. Episodes that would still be relevant years down the road. Plus, there are already so many people across the political spectrum feigning shock and awe with every action an opposing party has. So, I was initially put off by doing that format. I’m not against listening to that format, it just didn’t appeal to me to do myself. But, I firmly believe that we are on a moving train and we need to act swiftly and consistently to create the change that is needed in our communities, in our country, and in our world. Down the road, I also plan to develop an interview format. I’m a pretty independent person, so I started with a format that did not rely on anyone else’s time, work, or participation. It’s 100% my effort, other than the commissions artwork & audio intro and outro. But you get the idea. Now it is time to branch out a bit. So, my question to you is would you be interested in LF Daily and/or an interview format? Please let me know by tweeting a response on Twitter. That has been the most fun format recently. Thank you so much and stay tuned for episode 8, where we talk more about Dave Graeber’s book “Debt: The First 5,000 Years”. We also talk about the myth of the barter that so many economists cling to. Again, let me know your opinion on the formats discussed and until next time, remember to take care of yourselves and each other." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-bazan/support…
