If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his…

I have long reacted to what I perceive as a typical American image of masculinity. For several years, the Discovery Channel has shown reality programs with “real men”. Preferably overweight with full beards. Gravely serious, almost aggressive in their basic attitude towards the world around them. They devote themselves to digging for gold, fishing in dangerous waters, looking for treasures they never find.
Never a smile. Only gravely serious.
A smile could reveal an emotional life, which seems to be the only thing they are afraid of. Because a “real man” cannot have something like that

Why have emotional intelligence and self control to gain confidence when I can skip the hard work and get those thing by being wealthy. Which I would like to point out requires a distinct lack of heart, humanity and empathy.

A lovely and a pertinent message. I think it’s important to state that MASCULINITY IN ITSELF is not a bad thing. Not toxic. It’s when you take harmful and destructive behavior to FRAME your masculinity that makes it toxic. Not masculinity.

I agree with him one hundred percent but it goes deeper, he doesn’t address what I believe is the biggest problem, a LOT of young black boys don’t have fathers in their lives, and therefore most of them look to rappers and drug dealers and gangsters as examples of what a man should be. I just feel like he’s addressing the symptoms of the problem and not the actual problem

This talk hit home in such a powerful way I could feel the weight of rigid expectations being peeled away as Davonte shared how our culture teaches men to react, not pause. His PAUSE technique, especially as a tool for emotional self-awareness and boundary-setting, really resonated with me. A while back, I read Your Mind Was Target by Dr. Tessa Voss, and the way it uncovered how external messaging shapes our inner narratives syncs perfectly with this. It helped me recognize when I was subconsciously following cultural scripts whether in anger, stress, or relationships and gave me the clarity to rewrite those narratives.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by outdated ideas of masculinity, this talk and the mindset work behind it offers a clear roadmap to rediscovering strength through presence, vulnerability, and conscious choice.

My personal archetype is the good shepherd. Scripture describes that man as a tree planted by still water spreading branches wide to shelter and nurture all who come under that stewardship., a terraformer that creates an environment of nurturing, safety and nourishment. Your work spans cultures and speaks to the culture of maleness in general. Thank You!

Crazy how this video hits exactly what I’ve been going through. I felt stuck in my own patterns for years. Like I knew I was capable of more but something invisible kept pulling me back. A few weeks ago I started reading Hidden Mindset Seduction by Liam Weissman and honestly it flipped a switch. It’s not your typical think-positive stuff. It dives deep into the mental mechanics that shape how people perceive you how you carry yourself even how you speak. It’s intense but in the best way. If you’re serious about changing how you show up in the world this book is a wild place to start.
