    The Sustainable Spirit Podcast

    Is the key to a brighter future hidden within the depths of ancient wisdom? Join me, Sofia, on the ’Sustainable Spirit’ podcast as we unravel the mysteries behind today’s most monumental challenges through the lens of the world’s diverse religious and philosophical traditions. In each episode, our guests, ranging from spiritual leaders and scholars to activists and innovators, provide fresh insights, sharing how their study of faith or their personal spiritual practice intersects with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From issues like climate change and gender equality, to clean energy and social justice, we explore the profound connections between religion, spirituality, and innovation. In a world that faces complex challenges and increasing polarization, the ”Sustainable Spirit” podcast serves as a platform for open-minded discussions, interfaith dialogue, stereotype-busting, and perspective-shifting. We are united by a belief in 4 simple rules:1. Know that you know nothing. 2. Leave your assumptions at the door. 3. Ask better questions if you want better answers. 4. Optimize for communication, not conformity. This makes the ”Sustainable Spirit” podcast one of the rare places where you are actually welcome and encouraged to disagree, second-guess, ask unanswerable questions, and even (*gasp*) change your mind. We believe that interdisciplinary problems call for interdisciplinary solutions, that the leaders of the future are those who embrace complexity and collaboration. Open discussion is the path to progress, and it starts here. It starts with you. Are you up for the task? Just click play....more
