Summary
Welcome back to the podcast. I’ve always been a huge advocate of change, but not always the good kind. Usually the “shake the snow globe, throw caution to the wind” chaotic kind. Lorca from episode sixteen, season three, sporadically sends a newsletter which, as a person who hates all newsletters because they melt me down into an unproductive diatribe about marketers who clearly have no regard for CAN-SPAM laws—I love receiving this one. This week’s newsletter subject line was “Resilience Loves…Change”:
“People who want clearly are dangerous to the status quo. They are natural catalysts. Things will change around them.”
Up next is our eleventh mini-episode which is comprised of audio you sent in, answering the question: “How did climbing change your life?”
We’re always taking audio submissions and pitches. Contact us through our submission form on fortheloveofclimbing.com, and tune in next Monday, April first, for the first episode of season six.
For the Love of Climbing is presented by Patagonia. Additional support is from deuter USA, Allez Outdoor, and Ocún.
Music is by Chad Crouch. Additional music is licensed by Music Bed.

| 0:00.0 | Every year, I'm amazed at how impactful storytelling can be, and we recognize that it's a vital step towards cultivating change, growth mindset, and belonging. |
| 0:11.0 | I think that humans are instinctively drawn to storytelling too, which makes it a natural medium for making connections. |
| 0:18.0 | As social beings, we evolve to share knowledge with community in order |
| 0:22.2 | to increase chances of survival. And, inevitably, with the need for communication, we developed |
| 0:27.5 | language. Today, we utilize this language to share experiences, build engagement, and actively |
| 0:33.3 | shape more inclusive spaces. If any of you are a Schitts Creek fan, Dan Levy said in an after-series interview, when |
| 0:41.6 | someone with opposing beliefs sits down and watches, we're showing them what life could |
| 0:46.1 | be like. |
| 0:47.2 | People feel safe enough to question, are my beliefs outdated? |
| 0:50.3 | Am I being told to believe something that isn't true? |
| 0:53.3 | Because I love this character, and I want him to succeed. So why am I feeling like he believe something that isn't true? Because I love this character and I want |
| 0:55.3 | him to succeed. So why am I feeling like he shouldn't politically or religiously? And I think we all |
| 1:01.0 | just need a safe space to learn because I never learn when I'm being taught a lesson. These words have |
| 1:06.5 | been so profound and life-changing for me personally and moving forward, it's less about teaching the lesson |
| 1:12.5 | and more about expanding our knowledge of the world and showing people from all different sides, |
| 1:18.3 | how things are and how they can be. It's an open invitation for every person, every gender and |
| 1:24.3 | background in our community to rise to the occasion because we all have a role to play in racial and gender equity. |
| 1:30.3 | And in creating a world where everyone, including men, feel safe to use their physical and emotional strength in advocating for more women, black, indigenous, and LGBTQ communities as much as we do for athletic sport. The lessons already embedded in the story. |
| 1:46.7 | And sharing it with the world is a labor of love. There's always someone right now who can benefit |
| 1:52.3 | from where you've been. And the more of us who are transparent about our journey, the more open |
| 1:57.5 | the world can be. And that's the change. This podcast is proudly presented by Patagonia |
| 2:03.3 | and gets support from O'Tune and Doiter, USA. |
