29jan22 - Inspired and activated by the Truckers Freedom Convoy to Ottawa, the incredibly enlightening interview with Jordan Peterson and the Hon. Brian Peckford, along with the palpable enthusiasm and unifying voice sweeping the nation, Glenn and I invited back one of our favourite guests for our very first live streamed podcast so we could talk about the topic of the day - freedom! It was so fun to welcome back psychology and philosophy student, writer, editor, and critical thinker extraordinaire, Emily Rodgers. And, much to our collective joy, our conversation was rich, engaging, and full of ideas and questions as we got caught up on how each of us was feeling about the ongoing Covid response in our country and the province of British Columbia, how we all felt so ignited by the Peterson Peckford interview, and what the Truckers Freedom Convoy represented for hundreds of thousands of Canadians who were finally starting to feel heard and that they were not alone. Emily began by saying how grateful she felt to be, "no longer screaming into the void," and how she felt a sense of relief, pride, and connection she hadn't felt as a Canadian in a long, long time. We talked freedom, unity, peace, charity, and support. We talked about how there was something inherently Canadian about truckers protesting peacefully (even having a good time while doing so) in their big 18-wheelers, with steam and exhaust hissing from valves and pipes; about flags on hockey sticks waving, and warm breath steaming up the cold winter air; and coming together across this nation of ours as one, unified voice. Sticks and carrots, lack of opposition and debate, "who governs me?", and resilience were just some of the aspects of freedom that bubbled up during our time together. Glenn also gave a shout out to journalist and author of "The Field" and "The Power of Eight", Lynne McTaggart for her blog post, "Keep on Truckin' Together" in which she talks about the profound power of intention. This, and so much more...! For links to referenced posts, please scroll down below. There was no super fun Rapid Fire Question Round this time, but Glenn did offer us all a prize regarding courage and freedom - an excerpt from Jordan Peterson's book, "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life!" A new episode posted at least twice a month!
