His feature-length documentary The Grab—nominated for four Emmys in 2025—followed him as he uncovered the governments and mercenaries vying to control the world’s food and water supplies. The film premiered in theaters and is now streaming on Hulu.Nate has reported from around the world as a staff reporter for the Center for Investigative Reporting, with his work appearing regularly on PBS, NPR, and Mother Jones. His investigations have ranged from financial fraud and organized crime to exposing business practices that led to a $155-million settlement for those harmed, and most recently how record amounts of glyphosate are being sprayed in California’s forests.In September, Nate launched himself into his latest investigation, enrolling at the Harvard Divinity School to research what some are calling the meaning crisis — a pervasive sense of disconnection, alienation, inaction, and loss of contact with substantive purpose.Nate’s research was prompted by a surprising cadre of sources—from the Pentagon and the State Dept to the NSA. The U.S. Intelligence community for the first time in its history even added a metaphysical threat to its 20-year forecast, warning that emerging trends “raise fundamental questions about what it means to be human.”Nate is exploring the historical ways people have created meaning by connecting to something beyond themselves. At Harvard, he is taking part in the Transcendentalism Initiative, looking back at how Americans in the 19th century such as Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau tapped into spirituality to affect meaning and push social change, and how that might inform a world now facing unprecedented existential challenges.Tonight, Nate will share a collection of interweaving stories from his years reporting, all which spurred his curiosity in the meaning crisis. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/634310b0-a429-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w740-h740-dc181828-gmir.jpg Our friend Sofi Bergkvist is president and CEO at Center for Care Innovations, based in the Bay Area. Her career has focused on delivering healthcare to vulnerable populations all over the world and for two years now she has attended the UC Berkeley School of Public Health’s Collab unconference at Camp Earnest.Tonight Sofi would like us to ask ourselves what does it take to build systems worthy of our trust?Mental, physical and emotional health are agreed upon requirements if we are to approach other challenges and opportunities, many of which are now global in scale.In 2008 in India, Sofi experienced how digital technologies could radically expand access to care. A woman in a rural community who could not read could use a fingerprint to retrieve her health record and blood pressure history through a community health worker, creating a digital thread that could ultimately connect primary care in a village to sophisticated specialty care. It was an early glimpse of what becomes possible when we design systems around people rather than asking people to navigate complex systems. In short, this technology earned people’s trust.Today we have the emerging possibility of highly personalized, technology-enabled health: sensors that help us understand our own bodies, AI that can connect those signals to the world’s medical knowledge, and care that increasingly moves from institutions into our daily lives.But the technology is increasingly not the hardest part. The deeper challenge is whether we can build institutions, rules and norms that make trust rational: where people can safely share data, benefit from collective knowledge, and have confidence that powerful technologies are being used in their best interests.How can new technologies helps us take better care of ourselves and one another? How can they free us to become more human, rather than fragmented into filter bubbles?Examining the intersection of health and technology suggests a larger question: Can our institutions and strategies for cultivating trust evolve quickly enough to use our extraordinary new capabilities in service of human and planetary flourishing? If so, how might this happen? https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/6357d130-a429-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w987-h740-dc080898-gmir.jpg Our friend Rahmin Sarabi is Co-Founder / Co-Executive Director of the and , which gives Americans a seat at the table to find common ground and create breakthroughs on complex challenges. BLOOM works at the intersections of deliberative democracy, civic tech, and broad-based organizing. With local civic leaders across the country, BLOOM is building a new federated institution for public judgment — focused initially on questions related to AI and the future of our communities — along with the coalitions to give it teeth. Current pilots are in Previously he's served at.Today's consensus suggests that democracy's responsiveness to ordinary people is in serious doubt, with too many issues captured by well-funded interests. But there are green shoots — places where the government is delivering for everyday people, and where the impossible turns out to be workable.Rahmin will offer the story of Finbar O'Brien and Chris Lyons, two Irish citizens who came from opposite sides of a polarized and seemingly intractable issue, and met in a national citizens' assembly. What they found was an unlikely reconciliation that helped move the country — and a friendship that changed the course of their lives.What does that green shoot teach us? And what would it take to evolve our norms, institutions, and tools so we can share power and decide together in ways that serve the greatest good — and grow us as humans in the process? https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/63ac32c0-a429-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w987-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg OUR CHEF:Our friend Sam Lippman is a Bay Area chef with over twenty years experience working within innovative companies and kitchens.

As an event producer, public speaker, moderator and interviewer, Raman thrives off improvisation. He loves real civil discourse amongst people with opposing points of view.\r\nRaman was a founding partner of The Bureau, a benefit corporation, advisory and startup accelerator operating at the intersection of blockchain technologies and ESG (environmental, social and governance) impact.\r\nIn January, 2019, Raman took one month alone in a yurt near Yosemite to write the first draft of his book manuscript, tentatively titled Mount Commerce: Beginnings of Incentive System Design. Incentive System Design is thinking differently and comprehensively about how we shape our own and one anothers’ behaviors and designing systems that guide those behaviors in desired directions, particularly our choices as participants in an economy.  ISD seeks to propagate greater human equality, restrained production and consumption, regeneration and equilibrium in natural systems at scale.  \r\nRaman is also the founder of Good People Dinners, a Bay Area community focused on meaningful conversations, usually over food and drink. These dinners, corporate salons, overnights and retreats bring together professional chefs and fascinating speakers on a wide range of topics. GP Dinners has operated for 7 years, producing over 200 events and counting.\r\nAH Global, an agency offering its clients comprehensive online conversation marketing campaigns, recently made Raman a partner, overseeing social media influencer outreach.\r\nHis writing has appeared in the Harvard Business Review and other publications. He often posts essays and interviews to Medium. On a recent episode of What Comes Now, Raman discussed blockchain and community building with host Rosie von Lila. On the Wisdom Labs podcast Wise@Work, he discusses the idea of a do no harm ethos for entrepreneurs and many of the ideas from his forthcoming book. \r\nRaman loves time in nature, mountaineering and scuba diving. He’s an amateur chef who hosts dinners for friends at his home as often as possible.\r\n\r\n\r\n" } ] } ] ```
