55 Minutes to Rethink Everything

In this episode, James Storch shares insights from his book “55 Minutes”, arguing that lasting solutions require slowing down and deeply understanding problems before acting. Drawing from his experiences in urban planning, Indigenous communities, and complexity science, he shows how vibrant systems emerge from relationships, trust, and connectedness rather than quick fixes. The discussion challenges the “move fast and break things” mindset, highlighting why healthing means shifting from reactive sick care to proactive well-being. With stories from community work and corporate resilience, Storch illustrates how systems thinking can help us navigate complexity, foster equity, and build healthier futures.
