Ripple & Root

A podcast at the intersection of bold leadership, compassionate action, and the Mahāyāna spirit of awakening that serves all beings. Ripple & Root draws from two of nature's most profound teachings. A ripple begins with a single point of contact — one stone, one act, one voice — and moves outward in widening circles, touching everything it reaches. The root is what anchors and nourishes: invisible, patient, and deeply committed to sustaining what grows above ground. Together, Ripple & Root speaks to leaders who create lasting change not through noise or force, but through purpose-driven action grounded in values. Our guests are the stone-throwers and root-tenders — changemakers whose lives demonstrate that how you lead matters as much as what you accomplish.

If you’re tired of partisan heat and want practical election reform, this conversation stays focused on structure, incentives, and results.<br/><br/>Tom explains why gerrymandering turns many House races into foreg...

  Democracy In Your Pocket with Ramon Perez

  May 20, 202652 minS1

  <p>Democracy doesn’t usually collapse with one dramatic moment. It erodes when people stop believing the system can hear them, serve them, or tell the truth about who holds power. That’s the tension we sit with alongside Ramon Perez, a U.S. military veteran, former Air Force intelligence officer, and AI and machine learning consultant who came home from defending democracy abroad and watched it strain at home after January 6.<br/><br/>We dig into the structural problems that make Americans feel locked out: gerrymandering, uncompetitive districts, ballot access barriers, and a Congress shaped by fundraising incentives more than...
