The PIVOT: Navigating Uncharted Territory with Dave Schoof
Part 2: Metabolizing the Poly-Crisis with Rob McNamara
There’s an anxiety humming beneath everything—like tinnitus that never stops. You feel it in leadership meetings where reactions explode out of proportion. In hair-trigger responses to small disruptions. In that 3am wakefulness that’s become a collective companion.
In this second conversation, Rob McNamara and I go deep into the question: How do we metabolize the poly-crisis, both personally and relationally—rather than being consumed by it?
We explore why survival mode has already lost the game, how intimacy with death becomes intimacy with life, and why relational space holds untapped generative power. We also discuss a simple practice to let life move through you, rather than against you.
This episode is especially for leaders, founders, and coaches ready to navigate complexity beyond survival—those seeking to develop the sensitivity to dance with uncertainty and access the intelligence that emerges between us.

From Adulthood to Maturity
How does one move from simple adulthood to maturity? As a former Harvard lecturer and now Senior Monk and Integral Zen Dharma Holder, Rob McNamara brings the academic and the subtle spiritual to the question. Moving from basic stages of development to the farther reaches of growth, McNamara suggests there is much to be discovered after adulthood, even in a paradoxical stage known as ensoulment.
