Searching for Goodness Podcast

Join us on our new podcast, we will be interviewing people from all sorts of life about science and spirituality. This is a documentary/podcast series about everything! Our focus shifts from spirituality to arts and sciences. We have a YouTube streaming channel and now we are exploring the Podcast to get our voices heard and get attention to matters that concerns the whole world and human race. Our goal is to focus on things that unite us and connect bridges between differences.The initial idea of this show was created a few years back by Bessy Adut. She would like to turn this into a feature film someday and travel to Antarctica to interview the researchers and scientists over there. Next goal is to continue with a documentary series like an explorer. We had many team members on this journey lately working with Armin Nasseri as a co-producer, filming and editing together as well as New Faces LA and some more other creative collaborators. Goal is to reach out to whole world.

  Jun 25, 202638 min

  NEW EPISODE OF SEARCHING FOR GOODNESS In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with filmmaker and screenwriter Avishai Weinberger, whom I met through the CineStory Writers Retreat. Although Avishai is based in New York and this was a remote interview, our conversation felt incredibly natural, warm, and engaging. In just about half an hour, we explored a wide range of topics, including human nature, the famous United Colors of Benetton campaigns, the idea that "Good isn't a thing you are, good is a thing you do," Deborah Pratt and her inspiring book, queen bees and birds, bigotry and how ignorance often fuels it, and the importance of patience, faith, hope, and love. We also talked about Avishai's screenplays and short films, Steven Spielberg, artificial intelligence, and the environment. This episode is filled with thoughtful conversations, beautiful visuals, and samples of Avishai's work and social media. A special thank you to Avishai for his wonderful promo introduction and for sharing his time and insights with us. Prefer listening on the go?
