  • Summary

  • Curiosity is what we're all about here at The DevelopMentality. It's a big world, and things are changing, every day, everywhere. You may find it hard to keep up. You may also find, as we do, that for every new thing you learn, a couple dozen more interest-piquing topics pop up. This is what we like to call the Research Rabbithole: an infinite progression of facts and figures stretching to the horizon and beyond. We look into it all. If you are like us, and everything is your jam, join us in our free fall into the wide world of information overload.

  • Up in the Air: Travel in a Post-COVID World

    Up in the Air: Travel in a Post-COVID World
    Oct 21 2020
    Today, I'm talking with my friend and fellow travel junkie Philip Sites about the ins and outs of travel in the time of COVID. Over the last 10 months, the pandemic has steadily closed the world down around us. Now, as we ride the roller coaster of dips and spikes, can we find a middle way, between pushing others away in fear and disregarding our own safety out of frustration? How do we turn this global experience into heightened awareness of global community, learn from one another instead of running from one another? The world IS changing; how do we keep it from falling apart? Music in this episode is by Scott Holmes. To hear more of it, visit https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Holmes. It's pretty freakin' awesome! And thanks to Carmen Ruiz de Clavijo for her guest appearance off the top, direct from Madrid!

  • Speaking Sustainably, Part I: The 5 Rules of Sustainable Dialogue

    Speaking Sustainably, Part I: The 5 Rules of Sustainable Dialogue
    Sep 16 2020
    Dualogue: a discursive framework consisting of two or more independent narratives simultaneously and exclusively performed. Increasingly, these are the terms on which we interact with one another, talking around, at, over, and against. So how do we overcome the antagonistic, short-term thinking that characterizes contemporary civil and political discourse? The answer: sustainable speech.
