0:00.0	Welcome to Bewildered. I'm Martha Beck here with Rowan Mangan. At this crazy moment in history, a lot of people are feeling bewildered, but that actually may be a sign we're on track. Human culture teaches
0:15.6	us to come to consensus, but nature, our own true nature, helps us come to our senses. Rowan and I believe that the best way to figure it all out
0:25.0	is by going through bewilderment into be wilderment.
0:29.0	That's why we're here.
0:31.0	You know, what I'm seeing out in the world is a lot of fear and a growing amount of despair
0:38.0	Maybe you're feeling that way too because the ways our culture has taught us to navigate the world, to navigate our lives,
0:46.0	they are failing us.
0:48.6	We need a new language, we need a new set of tools to find our way individually and as a group.
0:55.4	And I know we can still do this.
0:57.4	I put everything I do know about it into Wayfinder Life Coach Training, and the tools that I teach there are to help people redefine
1:06.3	how we relate to each other, how we make a living, how we do community. We can only change the world for the better if we redefine how we think and the world
1:16.9	needs wayfinders now more than ever.
1:20.2	So please go to Martha beg.com and you'll find your way. Hi there, I'm Martha Back, and I'm Rowan Mangan. This is episode six of
1:34.9	bewildered, the podcast for people trying to figure it out. I try to figure it out
1:39.9	every day of my life. Martha figured it out over snacks last night. That's true.
1:46.0	After my 30th or 40th snack, I figured out that the way to know when you've eaten enough
1:51.8	is that you perceive a blinding flash and then
1:54.7	everything goes black. And that... What else do you need to know? Nothing. No, you
2:00.5	really came to the end of the puzzle. What have you been trying to figure out of late money?
2:07.0	Oh, Rowie, I have been trying to figure out why I talk the way hippopotamuses do defecate. Is it hippopotamite? It's hippopotam I?
2:17.0	I don't know and I also don't much mind I think everyone's with us. I think they know what animal I'm talking about. I think they do.
2:25.1	The infamous River Horse of Africa that fights people in twain. So you're saying that you talk the way.
