#beyondFLG

Join Oliver Putnam and Charles-Hadan Savage (aka Cody and Dan) as they reflect on 2024 and set intentions for 2025 in the least efficient way possible.  This includes a summary of the phenomenal guests on #beyondFLG and interesting topics on Quick N' Nerdy from 2024 followed by a summary of early plans for 2025 including a continuance of phenomenal guests and a series on cognitive biases.  

Two major announcements in this episode are the introduction to a new show on the Beyond the Pines channel called Land Defenders with Mattea Goetz from the Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter.  This show will address ecological issues in our region and promote a more reciprocal relationship between humans and the natural world.  

Secondly, we are also seeking podcast sponsorship to support our various ongoing shows, #beyondFLG, Quick N' Nerdy, Crossing the Chasm, and Land Defenders.  Stay tuned for details and reach out to us on InstaGram @beyond_flg or through our website, www.beyondflg.com, to learn more about connecting with us via sponsorship.

What is #beyondFLG?

Flagstaff is a remarkable place full or remarkable people. Some may even say that Flagstaff is the best place on Earth and some may say that such a statement is hyperbolic. Either way, there is no other place exactly like it, and that includes the people that contribute to it. Flagstaff is full of people with diverse backgrounds that possess a wide range of interests, skills, and stories. This variety of interests, skills, and stories contributes to the textured and unique feel of the area.

#BeyondFLG is a podcast aimed at highlighting the natural beauty of this region and the peoples that contribute to it. Some may describe this podcast as award winning based on the badges given to it through the podcast platform while others may say that the show is underproduced and overstated. #beyondFLG is hosted by two local psychologists and founders of Beyond the Pines, A Flagstaff Wellness Collective; Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips. Their values lie in promoting connection to self, others, and the natural world and their efforts occasionally hit somewhere near that mark, let’s say adjacent to it. Join them as they go #beyondFLG with members of the Flagstaff community and explore the overall connection to the area, their craft, and others.
