Anyhumans is a collective initiative within the “discover” phase of the process, aimed at capturing the thoughts of anyone willing to share their fundamental beliefs on their present understanding of good, life purpose, and problem solving approaches.

Anyone is welcome to either share their own thoughts (i.e., sign up to be a guest) or ask a friend or colleague (i.e., act as a host) using the structure below. The conversations will be recorded (video or audio, chosen by the guest) and compiled into podcast episodes.

Anyone averse to interviews may instead send in self-recorded answers to any questions.

Audio snippets

Below are audio snippets from three recent conversations:

Preview of episode with Jennifer C. (introduction, defining doing good, personal anecdote)
Preview of episode with Gideon M. (on defining doing good and cause involvement)
Preview of episode with Laura P. (on the root of evil)

Due to a certain level of vulnerability involved and the importance of maintaining appropriate privacy, the full episode recordings will be accessible only to committed members of the community (i.e., those who also commit to share their own responses to the same questions), but guests have the option to designate segments of their episodes that can be open to the general public.

Structure

The following is a general structure for each episode: 

Bio and background of guest (by host)1-2 mins
Personal introductions by guests2-3 mins
Part 1. Host asks guest(s) a series of optional questions
(see the list here) to be selected by guest in advance

Part 2. Host asks guest(s) to talk about their “raison d’être”
(see specific questions here)

Total estimated podcast episode time: 20-25 mins

If you would like to be a guest on this podcast, please schedule a time using Calendly. To send in your self-recorded answers or to pose these foundational questions to a friend, colleague, or family member, please email info@abundance.dev at any time. Please be sure to follow the project on substack and spread word about it in your network. Thank you in advance for your interest!
