In Circle: The Men Leaving Patriarchy Behind — Starting With Themselves

Why We Are the Most Fortunate Humans to Ever Live, World Oceans Day with Dr. Sylvia Earle, Marine Legend

Happy World Oceans Day! In this very special episode, we sat down with Dr. Sylvia Earle — marine biologist, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, and one of the most celebrated ocean researchers of our time. Named by the Library of Congress as a living legend and reverently referred to around the world as “Her Deepness,” Dr. Earle has spent the past 60 years at the forefront of ocean exploration, conservation, and marine science.  Recorded live at Harvard University in partnership with The Shift [https://theshiftison.com/], host Sophia Li and Dr. Earle reflect on the miracle of life on earth and below sea, while speaking candidly about planetary boundaries, the economics of nature, and the dire state of our oceans and planet.  Dr. Earle makes the case that all wealth originates from nature, and that resource depletion has been perilously drawing down our world’s ‘bank’ for centuries. Yet, despite the challenges ahead, she shares the reason why this is actually the most exciting moment in human history.  Turning 91 this summer, Dr. Earle has spent decades diving into the unknown and coming back with the same verdict every time: this planet is a miracle, and we are squandering it. Join us for an episode that makes the case that wonder and joy are not a retreat from the climate crisis — they are fundamental drivers to solving it.

In Circle: Is Longevity Meaningless Without a Sustainable Planet?

Happy Earth Day, stewards! To honor this day, we are having a conversation on the paradox of being a functional human today optimizing longevity during a climate crisis.  Longevity is the buzzword of 2026, but what does it mean to optimize your body while the systems that sustain all life are in decline? In this live conversation recorded at 113 Spring in New York City, host Sophia Li [https://www.instagram.com/sophfei] sits down with Ara Katz [https://www.instagram.com/arakatz/] (Co-Founder, Seed Health), Lulu Ge [https://www.instagram.com/luluge/] (Founder & CEO, Elix), and Daphne Seybold [https://www.instagram.com/daphneseybold/](Co-CEO & CMO, Sky High Farm Universe) to explore the throughlines that the mainstream longevity discourse keeps missing: community, ecology, and the radical idea that human health cannot be separated from planetary health. Together, they examine what it actually means to live well — not just longer — and why a truly integrated vision of longevity must hold mind, body, spirit, and the natural world in the same frame. Speakers: Ara Katz, Co-Founder, Seed Health [https://www.instagram.com/Seed/] Lulu Ge, Founder and CEO, Elix Healing [https://www.instagram.com/Elixhealing/] Daphne Seybold, Co-founder & CEO of Sky High Farm Goods [https://www.instagram.com/SkyHighFarmGoods/] Recorded live at 113 Spring, a new wellness destination in the heart of Soho that translates longevity from a complex, technical concept into something human and accessible.

In Circle: The Men Leaving Patriarchy Behind — Starting With Themselves

Welcome back! STEWARD is evolving into exploring the vital intersection of spirituality, sustainability, and longevity, holding space for the profound dualities of our time for collective healing. This Movember, we confront a pressing issue: the crisis in men's mental health, particularly for white men who face alarming rates of loneliness, addiction, and suicide, while historically hold power in systems like patriarchy and colonialism. Can spiritual fulfillment be the disruptive force, allowing white men to transform these systems from within? Join us as we speak with three men who left corporate careers for spiritual paths, exploring their journey of reconciling privilege, family, and purpose in the heart of New York City.
