Jack Panda Speaks

Deciding to change profession after 10 years, when everyone knows me as a chef, is no joke. I really have to go within, believe in myself and run with my dream. Initially I will work as a coach for free to gain experience & reputation! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

From external confusion to not knowing, to being ok with not knowing, to going inwards for answers, to then worship the self as all knowing, to the integration of selfhood and AI. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Don't trust anyone or anything, question everything we are told! Sure, questioning life & situations can offer new insights and be great at catalysing positive change in our lives, but what if we get stuck in the endless loop of questioning? We can end up in a dark mental cave of confusion, which nobody seems to talk about. Questioning is not always a good idea... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

It has never been a better time to practice adaptation, seeing opportunities within the crisis and staying grounded amongst the global chaos that's coming! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

We can only cook and deliver so much homemade food at Sacred Food, but we really want people to be cooking & eating more homemade food. Home Cooking is such a revolutionary act in so many ways, and for this reason we started the airbnb of homemade food. The 1st digital community kitchen! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Who wants to have a bad day right? A day where nothing flows, all you seem to come across are obstacles, and by the end of it you feel helpless...? Well no one of course, but we wouldn't appreciate the good days without the contrast with a bad day. Could we be moving towards an unemotional human being? Is productivity & creativity more important than human nature? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Do you ever feel like you yearn being in nature and living of the land, but when you realise how time comsuming and inconvenient it would be to do so, then you get excited about the automated-instant-abundant virtual reality of the future to come? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I ponder about the negative side effects of "to-do" lists, as they can create anxiety and distract you from your immediate environment. Then I ponder the idea of taking time off or resting from work, and whether it could be counterintuitive for those that are in love with their work & process. What do you think? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Wake up early and get lost in your process. Being aware of your life experience does not make you a better person or allow you to appreciate it more. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I talk about having different product & service thresholds to build relationships and trust with your customers, especially if you are a new business on the scene. I also send my prayers out to a friend going through a critical surgery today, and how sometimes we just need to sit with our helplessness. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today in no particular order I talk about financial pressures, being at peace with the fact that you are doing your best, finding time & space for yourself in such a noisy world, and last but not least creating boundaries if working full time from home with your partner. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Yesterday's topic triggered some resistance and questions around AI and whether it would replace what it means to be human. But if humans have always been evolving, then what it means to be human must have always been evolving too right? Do we maybe get too attached to our personal experience of what it means to be human? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Feeling confused about what, when & how you should eat in today's conflicting & confusing world of information? Don't worry, AI will soon be retrieving your real time biochemical data, and based on that, it will be able to suggest the optimum food for you to consume in that given moment. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

When I set out to do 365days of podcasting my intention was for it to be a commitment challenge for myself, and that's really it. I soon got lost in people's feedback, how the podcast should be structured, the number of listeners, reaching more listeners, getting somone to help edit and promote the episodes...and before I knew it the pressure I was putting on myself left me disinterested in continuing... Now I resume daily episodes with my initial intention! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Did you know that social media is rewiring your brain? Rewiring the way you perceive life and communicate with the world? Some people are warning us about this, although maybe it just be part of the transition towards transhumanism? Of course letting go of our human nature is no easy thing to do... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Sustainability is definitely not convenient for most of us, but is it practical? Today I go on a rant about how humans may not have the biological capacity to manage a global system sustainably, and that's where maybe AI comes in to save the day! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

The lockdown has shown me that we are quite happy being at home thanks to the internet. The digital world allows us to feel connected and interact with the world without leaving our homes. Could the future be of physical confinement, but digital freedom? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

It sounds like a beautiful idea to co-create a business with your loved one. And it is I can assure you, although today I talk about the ugly meltdown we had last week. Our romantic relationship had got lost in the business. I also talk about the consequences of not following your intuition. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Recently I had a session with a psychic and she said that my weak spot in business is marketing. I was so attached to being 100% authentic that I was against scheduling posts on social media. Consistency is key for brand awareness! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message

Today I talk to you from my car full of food as I head to the local food bank. The Sacred Food Mission has allowed us to raise funds and support many families during these tricky times. It has also shown us however, that helping others too much can also be counterproductive and cause unhealthy dependency. Sound familiar? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackpandaspeaks/message
