With Jim Channon, Futurist, Shaman, Eco-visionary Jim Channon (http://www.jimchannon.com) was a Lieutenant Colonel in U.S. Army before before spending 20 years as a “strategic shaman” for generals and leaders of Fortune 100 companies. He was the inspiration for Jeff Bridges’ role in the film Men Who Stare At Goats, and is the author of several books including the First Earth Battalion Operations Manual for the Army. This one hour conversation unveils an overall blueprint for moving our human evolution out of darkness (and dark influences) and into the light – as stewards of this living planet, vs. its destroyers. A key approach to our transformation is what Channon calls “social architecture.” The conversion of our military forces from armed conflicts to a New Earth Army (http://neweartharmy.com)focused on disaster management and Earth remediation, transforming local communities and building eco-villages and green cities, creating a global capital and spaceport for extraterrestrial relations are some of the provocative topics covered in this inspired exchange, as well as Jim's concisely stated comprehensive Plan for a thriving future.
