Lessons from Nature Podcast

By: Mark Rubin
  • Summary

  • Season 1: Practical Dreaming

    Mark Rubin, a Dreamweaver, has developed a framework for turning dreams into reality, based on observations since 1973. His method involves using widgets and a world-building engine, known as the Long Game Framework. This approach enables individuals to systematically organize and execute their dreams, transforming them from mere nighttime stories into tangible realities.


    Dreaming, when systematically approached with tools and frameworks, can be a powerful method for creating real-world achievements. (Season 1 Begins: 12.13.23)



    Season 2: Modeling the Secrets of the Bees

    The bee business of making honey is identical to the human business of making money. Mark Rubin will be explaining how honey bees gather and store energy using a regenerative business system. Humans can follow this system to make money in a way that creates money, teaches skills, develops communities, and restores habitat. The podcast is based on the children's book, Honey is Money - the Secrets of the Bees. (Coming July 2024)
