Jake's Weekly Flow #2

Weekly Flow #2 - January 13, 2023

Greetings, fellow seeker

Welcome to my weekly flow of news, events, insightful perspectives, and impactful stories aimed at creating positive change in your life and the lives you touch, at home and on the road

My curious mind, intuitive soul, and big heart, along with some personal connections and crushes on extraordinary humans have put me in a position to receive an abundance of practical information, exciting innovation, and deep wisdom, usually travel-related, that has flowed to me, and now, on to you. 
This is my interpretation of exciting things happening in the world and how the TTC connects to all the threads that bind our movement. 

Before you scan, take a breath, tune in, open up to the flow, and find your glow

• What is the Next Story? By one of my favorite thinkers, Charles Eisenstein

• ‘10 Ways to Connect with Wildlife,’ by Aaron Herst, a young and passionate naturalist that interned with TTC Co-Founder, Jake Haupert, as part of a senior project partnership with Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2022.

• Ice Bath Business Meetings Are a Thing Now, Apparently - Ever sold a company while sitting in near-freezing water?

• NASA is funding ideas for a Titan seaplane and faster deep space travel

• The Rise of Regenerative Hospitality - Hear from Dr Alessandro Inversini, Associate Professor in Marketing at EHL Hospitality Business School, who discusses his research and findings in the field of Regenerative Hospitality.

• Subscribe to this podcast by our partners at The Soul Focused Group - “New Perspectives and Transforming Leaders,” Mahdi and Martin talk explore how to take leadership to the next level. In 2023, they are striving to help leaders find clarity, inspiration and happiness.

And as the new year begins to gain momentum, I’ll leave you with this poem, sent my way by my new friend, MJ Daniels. Thank you!

A Blessing for Presence, by John O’Donohue 

May you awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence. 

May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses. 

May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon. 

May you respond to the call of your gift  and find the courage to follow its path. 

May the flame of anger free you from falsity. 

May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and anxiety never linger about you. 

May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul. 

May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention. 

May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul. 

May you experience each day as a sacred gift, woven around the heart of wonder.

Personally, I took my almost 15 year old son Quinn driving for the first time last week … It was a special/stressful moment for sure. Watch out world!

Oh, one more thing… My word for 2023 is ‘discernment,’ as in being more discerning with my time, energy and focus. Have you chosen one?

Wishing you a week filled with Prescense!
