"Where our roofs are made of aluminum or tin or whatever and we're sleeping on plastic?" "I can't say that I agree with every decision that's been made here." "This is my model prototype of my washing machine." "I'm so scare of saying that I don't trust Jimmy." "Why am I the one who's paying and who's working?" "Fun fact... in the States, if I were to get caught doing what I'm doing now... $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail." "That's the Panama national butterfly." "No, Runt!" "My God!" "That's horrible!" "I've been thinking about diversity at Kalu Yala so much." "I was thinking, like, "Who wants to move here?"" "People who have the ability and the privilege." "Jimmy does want the rich and the poor." "How's he gonna get the poor here?" "But the thing is that it's hard, because are we pioneers or are we colonists?" "That's a question that I really struggled with coming here." "Who are we to be in this land?" "You want a presentation, don't you?" "I do." "You know what?" "I want to make you a presentation really badly." "Well, 'cause you're speaking in like, 30 minutes." "I don't even know how to make a presentation." "I can't believe I'm speaking in 30 minutes, and I don't have anything to show." "What if we show..." "Where is somebody?" "They want to see the passion, what you're doing, and how other people..." "Let me..." "Let me..." "Okay, let me try and put together pictures." "Either way, I'm gonna get up and speak." "I don't want to do a video." "You d..." "Okay." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I don't think a video's..." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I don't want to do..." "Just put a couple pictures together." "Thank you." "Part of why the destination is so intriguing to me is because, the story behind it, like, the original intention, I think, has shifted, and he'll probably talk about that a little bit." "The name of this place is called Kalu Yala, and you're about to learn a little bit more." "Please welcome to the stage Jimmy Stice." "I have the incredible privilege of, when people say, "What do you do?"" "I say, "I'm building a town."" "So, how do we build a town?" "Guess who's always built towns?" "20-to 40-year-olds, just to be honest." "Young people." "65-year-olds finance towns, but they didn't go out into the frontier." "But it turns out, there is something about being 18 to 35 that makes you crazy enough to come live in the middle of a jungle for 3 months at a time, sleeping on air mattresses next to each other." " Here." " So cool." "A lot of talented people here." "These kids here, not only are they founding our town, they're founding it from their hearts, they're founding it based on their ethics, without, really, regards to financial return, but really about the R.O.I. to themselves," "in terms of their personal transformation." "Because that's what towns exist for, is to connect us to each other." "Now the word "colony" comes from Greek, and it meant "an away home,"" "and it was when a town went beyond the carrying capacity of the natural resources around it." "They sent out a group of people to found a new town, and it was a way of distributing the human population across the earth in a way that was in balance with ecological systems." "For 100 years, we took this break from town building, almost entirely, and then in the '80s, all of a sudden, some guys started building towns, not really 'cause they thought we needed to build towns," "but really, as a response to how badly we were building." "And now, if you're looking at people who are specifically building towns, myself included, for the purpose of economic development." " Rake?" " Is that a rake?" "Right now, we're gonna go to where my crew is fixing up some fence, 'cause the cows are coming pretty soon." "So, I mean, the last thing you want is to buy x-amount of cows and then, within a day or two, just for them to be off the property." "The balo is a living fence post." "It's a branch of a leguminous tree, and it grows roots and leaves and becomes a tree." "And it fixes nitrogen at the same time, so it improves the soil around it." "It's really great." "It's like a beetle grub, but they use it to..." "To fatten the chicken or go fishing." "It's like, I kind of, like, walk this fence between this culture and the other culture." "I can fully be in this one and fully be in the other one, and it's hard to connect people." "Kind of happy to be here as a farmer and a bridge." "Wasp." "God." "This is the, dumb-ass runner." "It makes a dumb-ass run away, 'cause it doesn't sting you at all." "But it's a wasp." "We grab the nest with, like, our thick calluses on the end of our finger, on our thumb, we cover the hole, and then we just, like, throw it at each other." "And then everyone else just laughs, and then you just try to get vengeance some other day." "It's really great." "Out here, whenever we're working, there's a lot of wasps, all kinds of wasps, like hundreds of different kinds of wasps." "It got me really hard." "There's one here, one on the lip." "It hurts." "Hurts really bad." "Man, my lip's really tender right now." "It's crazy." "Look how much trash we have." "Y'all are sustainable?" "Idiots, dude." "What is this?" "We need to take this out somehow." "My God." "There's so much trash around." "Why do people use these items?" "Geez." "We have to, Relle." "Not necessarily." "You're right, not necessarily." "You can get some more waste-free options than the things like this." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I was very unhappy on Friday, and I considered dropping out." "I wouldn't be so open about it if I haven't heard conversations from people that are also unhappy and stuff, and it's like a general thing, I think." "Because we're at the edge of the central mountain range, which is all national park, and we're the first piece of property that's not national park, so they're..." "A lot all year around." "Right." "Literally the same thing that's happening in my property." "Really?" "That's wild." "Yeah." "It's really wild." "We border 2 million acres of national forest." "We're back on top." "Wild." "Wild." "I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing right now." "That's the whole thing is that I'm at a place where I have all these options in front of me, and one of them is 350 acres of my own that I could farm or do something with." "Rad." "See, I've literally been trying to do this all by myself." "Doing it by yourself when you have no money and trying to find the people to help is..." "Like, drains you." "Yeah." "The way you build a town isn't by building a town brick by brick with your hands." "It's by getting people to build a town." "Everything that people have been telling me," "I feel like it boils down to a trust issue in the sense that we pay to be here, and we help make the place better, right?" "And before coming here, when I would tell people the project that I was getting into, and that I kind of sometimes hid the fact that I was paying to come here, because when I said it, people were like," ""Wait, you should be paid to go do that."" "You should be getting paid to go build this village and to help and bring your knowledge," ""and not the other way around."" "Of those 1.5 million cities in the world, all of them began as camps." "None of them were a proved master plan that brought in buildings from day one." "Like, New Orleans got blown down twice, Chicago burned down." "Everyone built cheap when it was speculative, and then when the thing actually "worked out,"" "that thing being a town, then they brought in bricks and mortar and made it permanent." "I sort of saw it as, like, the $5,000 was the money you bring with you to invest in this place." "Yes." "It's an investment." "And I wanted to learn." "That's why I came here." "I was seeking this knowledge, and I wanted to see what we could do in the world." "I wanted to see what the future was gonna look like." "We've got 120 people down there in the jungle right now for the next 10 weeks, and you know, like $150,000 of cash flow every month from it, so..." "If their mission is to build a sustainable town, and that is what they're selling that on, and that's what they're getting investors in on, and that's what they're getting all this publicity for," "that's bullshit." "I'm an Internet monster." "So, I applied to Kalu Yala, and I came down here, and all of a sudden, all of this happened." " I'm more than an intern." " I'm more than an intern." " I'm a farmer." " I'm a community organizer." "Market researcher and adventurist." " I live off the grid." " I'm growing food." "I've only been down here one week." "If they're not... sustainable, there shouldn't be 150 people here." "Yeah, check out my Instagram feed." "You know what I mean?" "Like, people come in, and we do Panamanians, too." "It feels like the vision that they originally started with is not what they are doing anymore." "I came here knowing the challenges of food allergies and all of that... and was told that I could be accommodated." "I have brought all of my own food here." "Like, I could be doing this at home, basically, and I was more sustainable at home," "I was more farm-to-table at home," "I knew where the food was coming from," "I felt better because I wasn't getting sick." "I don't want us to be angry at the staff, but I think that we should be very brave when we ask them questions." "We need to ask them serious questions, and we need to really hold them accountable, because we spent this money to be here, we gave up things to be here." "Are you like this gringo, colonial dude..." "Romantic or is it..." "Yeah, exa..." "Now, is this, you know, colonialism?" "Or are you actually doing something amazing?" "Hey, y'all know there's a path right down here, if we walk this way, right?" "Yeah, there's a bunch of people who are gonna say, "Hippies, cult,"" "all these neo-colonialist, you know, appro..." "They're gonna use all these, like, this one side, and there's this other side's gonna be completely inspired and aspirational about it." "Whether I'm stealing someone from Ernst  Young, or whether a kid's coming down for a semester abroad, they're trying to look for a lifestyle driven by their values that can also actually be real, be supported, right?" "Whether you want it, whether you love it, or whether you don't like it, the point is it needs to be out there." "You know what I mean?" "Yeah." "I just..." "And that conversation needs to begin, and once the conversation starts, then we can see where it goes, and I'm not really worried about that, like, sh..." "I think that's great." "Even if you're a villain in the conversation, if that helps catalyze the conversation." "The website says that 80% of the meals here are from the... the farm." "That's..." "I feel so cheated." "We're not doing everything perfectly." "Things that we're talking about now..." "What's up?" "Is anyone medically trained?" "What's up?" "What's happening?" "I came to HATCH not knowing what the hell it was, and when I got here and saw all these people," "I thought, "Holy shit." "This is just what Panama needs."" "Panama, historically, has been a meeting point, not only for trade and goods and services, but also for ideas and philosophies and culture." "So, um, having HATCH in Panama is a great opportunity for Panama to keep serving that role." "For our mission, which is to hatch a better world, which means education, entrepreneurialism, the environment." "And when Jimmy approached me after he'd come to HATCH and said," ""We have to do this in Panama,"" "as the place literally is the bridge between the Americas, trade that's going through every single day and not stopping, Jimmy kind of shared with me, like, that time's over." "The time is to build here, not to pass through and by it." "One of my favorite parts of my visit to Kalu Yala is seeing Jimmy connecting with the local people." "Everywhere he went, they would go, "Hola, Jimmy."" "Where's Jimmy?"" "It's not easy to be able to create that connection with local people when an... kind of an outsider, and you're doing something that's so different." "We're like beggars on the doorstep, so to speak." "We want to be part of this, and we are outsiders." "Yeah." "Yeah, I know." "And, like, we're just, like, trying to figure out, like, how do we get..." "How do we become ingratiated?" "People are so used to people coming in, extracting, and exiting, or failing, and exiting." "When you have an Americano drop into another culture, which is oftentimes, like the fly-by-night, like," ""Hey, let me..." You know, there's, like, some ulterior motive and so forth and..." "And frankly, I think that Jimmy did arrive with an ulterior motive that shifted, which is part of why I fell in love with this guy, because he flipped the model." "I mean, like, he came here with a real estate plan." "He was like, "We'll do that later."" "Not so much. "Let's do institute"" "and research and development and education now."" "I feel so cheated with knowledge, and I'm so ready to work my ass off, dawn to dusk, grow potatoes here to feel like this place is growing." "" "Yeah." "A lot of what I came here for was to grow food to feed people." "Yeah." "And on the website..." "The website says that 80% of the meals here are from the... the farm." "That's..." "And that's, like, not even, like..." " The farm and..." " But that's not..." "Yeah." "Yeah." " They actually just..." " They corrected us on that." "We asked that." "80% is from the farm and neighboring farms." "And they said that's true." "I just, personally, I don't know." "This whole week, to me, has been my favorite..." "One of the best weeks of my life, and I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt, 'cause I love this place." "Yeah." "And I really do." "And I love this, and I want to grow, and I want to learn." "But maybe these concerns that I'm having are natural, and maybe these warrants I'm having are natural, so before I completely write this whole place off..." "For me, is there..." "It's patience." "I just feel like I need to... to..." "I need to give it more time to really ask the questions." "'Cause I think it would be terrible to leave without having the answers." "Yeah." "So, we've starting getting sort of, like," ""What are you guys doing?"" "and "This isn't what I thought."" "The nature of who we are here to serve and learn from and teach..." "Yep." "Is that they are gonna be like, "Yo, who's the bad guy", and what's going on here?"" "'Cause they've been in this system where there is usually a bad guy." "Here's the thing about students' revolts." "We have a bunch of really passionate, young millennials stressed, and everything is super contagious." "Especially, we're all living together, so if someone's like," ""Today sucks," the person next to them is like," ""Today does suck," and then it just spreads." "Right now and for the rest of the day, there's questions about Kalu Yala and Kalu Yala Institute, and they're writing stuff and putting them in." "Esteban has a Master's degree, and he's written a book on creativity, he's started three companies, and he's also a touring, stand-up comedian." "So, he's kind of a Swiss Army knife of entertainment and education." "Write these big, scary questions and challenge him." "You don't owe them anything." "Yep." "My number-one priority is always our... our students." "Beyond the investors, they're taking the biggest risk of anyone out there, and in some ways, they're taking a bigger risk than the investors." "They're giving us 10 weeks of their youth, for God's sakes." "They're coming to the jungles of Panama." "I'm frightened of..." "Of whether or not every team member I've got is happy and which interns are gonna be sad the next two weeks while I'm gone." "I'm... petrified of all that shit." "When I first got here and I entered, too, and the students were kind of going through a weird phase," "I kind of went through it, too." "Now I get it, but we're not doing everything perfectly, but that's why we're here." "Where their, like, boiling negativity can take them is something that, if you are new, is hard to grasp to what extreme it can go." "I will never quit until I'm forced to quit." "We'll have to be broke, and everyone will..." "And all the investors will have have to say stop and all the staff will have to say, "I'm out of here,"" "and people in San Miguel will have to say," ""Jimmy, forget this," before I quit." "I'm gonna go right now and answer all the questions they filled out." "Hey, everyone." "So, we're gonna get started." "The first thing is," "I think you will find we're very transparent." "We're all sincerely here 'cause we're trying to do really cool things." "All right, so I'm gonna go through these." "I swear these weren't edited." "Umm, let's do it!" "Where does the beef come from?" "Great question." "It is from our friend Ramón, and we had a matanza where they kill a cow." "If you're..." "I am a vegetarian because I did this three years ago, by the way, killed a cow." "It was absurd." "Have you ever held a cow while its soul floated away?" "Why is there not more money for food?" "Budget question." "Got it." "All right, here's the deal." "I travel professionally and get exchanged money to speak into a microphone, to have people laugh." "So, I think enough bad stand-up shows will prepare you for an angry revolt." "There are 80 of you and you pay 5 grand." "All right, so, that is $400,000." "I get it." "This is an absurd amount of money." "So, let's break down one month." "$80,000 in salary." "There's 45, so do that math and then..." "If you do the math, it comes out, I was saying, that it's like 3 bucks per meal or so, something like that." "All right, so, then we have $10,000 for projects." " For everyone total?" " Yes, this is per month." "Thank you." "And it's also per intern, so the programs that have more interns have more budget." "And we are a startup." "We have a 6-, 7-year track record, right?" "But when it comes to resources, we make these decisions very strategically." "We spend the most on the people, because we want you to have the best experience possible here and have access to the..." "The mind resource, right, which I think is most important." "I..." "Well, you also think, like, Jamieson, literal hot-shot consultant." "We have two PhDs, we have eight Masters, and..." "And work here because we..." "We really believe in this place." "So, cool." "Does that help budget stuff?" " Yeah." " Yes." "So good." "'C-Cause this number's enorm..." "This number, you're like," ""Wait a minute." "I should be eating gold."" ""I don't like gold, but I should be eating gold."" "I've done shows in front of hostile stand-up crowds." "I have 20 minutes." "And then, at the end, people are laughing and clapping and being like," ""That was great." "I wish you went longer."" "Kalu Yala has taught me that education is entertainment." "Everything's the same." "But I was like, "I was gonna tell you this,"" "but like, we have these different programs." "Let's tell them this, let's talk about, what is sustainability?" "Now..." "What's that?" "What's happening?" "Is anyone, like, medically trained?" "Is Josh here?" " Hey." " Allison?" "I'm sorry to say this, but we might have to clear out." "Can we move to..." " Top of the hen house." " It could also be from..." "My hands are okay." "My feet have been kind of been, like, tingly all day, though." "Okay." "I don't know any other institute that you give them a bucket full of questions, and that night, they answer almost all of them." " Yeah." " Not insensitively, but until one of us passed out." "Here, sit here and focus on my..." "Now come this way." "With your guys's consent," "I think it would totally okay to end these questions for tonight." "We can pick it up tomorrow." "Just, group consensus, is everybody okay with that?" "Thank you, Esteban." "Great, guys." "No, thank you." "We're struggling with white-savior complex." "We're the last group of interns that are going to be charged this amount, and that tuition is going up." "Is that to compensate for producing more jobs, allowing more Panamanians to come and work?" "Everything in me just wants to go home." "San Miguel is the neighboring large-ish town." "It's 500 people, and there, we teach in the schools, and we focus on developing relationships there and..." "And making sure that people understand who we are, and why we're here." "It's come to light that, you know, we're the last group of interns that are going to be charged this amount, and that tuition is going up." "Is that to compensate for, you know, producing more jobs, allowing more Panamanians to come and work or...?" "Yeah, totally." "Kalu Yala should be a bilingual, bicultural place." "Right now our staff is almost..." "Numbers-wise, I think it's a third or maybe a little bit more than a third Panamanian." "It's a third, yeah." "I mean, I'm Latin-American recruiting." "That's a thing we think about a lot and scratch our head about a lot." "It makes me feel better about not being just the white person coming in and displacing, and like, it's really important, and it would break my heart if that's what it was, and I just needed" "some reassurance that it wasn't that." "Totally." "Dos." "Tres." "We're struggling with white-savior complex." "And those are really complex things to think about, and those are really tough questions that we're open about and will be like," ""Yeah, let's talk about all that sort of white-savior complex."" "Like, you know, "Let's talk about what that means."" "Let's talk about, how can we come in and make sure that we are working with people." "Let's continue having these conversations." "And I want him now." "I feel like the energy kind of changed here." "There's less anxiety and less panic to know what's going on." "I think just the knowledge of what's happening here makes you be able to believe in the place, and then, therefore, you don't panic." "I feel better about everything we talked about, for sure, because I was ready to leave for a little while." "Like, yesterday, I was..." "I felt so disappointed that this place lied." "At the end of the day, this town is going to become a town." "At this point, we're still building the foundational elements of it." "It's still really early." "It's kind of like a toddler." "Now, like, it's very clear that we are just in the beginning stages of building a town." "I think that that wasn't really clear before." "No." "Kalu Yala is like my friend who invited me to come help him move out, but I show up and he actually is going through a divorce, and he doesn't know how to live on his own," "and so, I thought I was gonna help this guy just move a couch, but, like, I ended up, I have to teach this guy how to boil spaghetti and stuff." "That was the main issue..." "Is as soon as you communicate..." "Yeah." "And you just ask a few questions and all the answers, you're like, "Great."" "Awesome." "I feel so much better."" "I don't have that fear anymore that I... am just like a little child that doesn't know anything, you know?" "Yep." "I don't know a lot of things, but what I do know, I can build off of now." "Yeah." "And now I don't want to leave anymore, so..." "Kind of want to stay here for a long time." "Hey, did you hear one of our interns is building a laundry machine?" "Yeah?" "It's one of our biggest problems." "That'd be huge." "There's an outer drum, an exterior drum, that holds water, and then an interior drum with lots of holes to allow water to flow into it." "Then, what I'm doing now is I'm cutting a door, and it'll be able to lift up." "So then, you lift this up, and then you..." "So, then you open this one up, then you open up this one and put all your clothes in." "So you have to turn this by hand like this, it'll turn this," "10, 12, 15 minutes, depending on the load size, but you can wash three full loads of laundry in this because of how big it is." "Why do I live out here is because I love my privacy," "I love my alone time, and, I need to get away quite often." "The still has been here since February, and it was donated by someone from HATCH." "That's pretty cool." "What's going on here?" "Reminds me of my Friday night." "Well, hey, Ron." "Jungle cat!" "Meow!" "It's cool, you know." "People come by and visit on the rare occasion, but for the most part," "I just get to sit here and be peaceful, ol' me." "All right." "I was born in France, born in Paris." "The first three, four years of my life," "I lived in Normandy, and then, we lived in northern Virginia and D.C. for a long time." "My parents divorced when I was 9." "My mother and I haven't spoken since I was 18." "Um..." "Freud would have a field day with me." ""Tell me about your mother."" "There's that blue morpho again." "Got to get that butterfly." "I wonder how she's doing, and I hope she's happy and okay, but I don't miss the meanness." "I've had some wonderful, amazing girlfriends that, they're amazing people, but then I end it because I just need to be alone." "It is what it is." "People come, people go, whether it's family, friends, loved ones, enemies, whatever." "The world keeps on turning." "You just got to keep doing you and be good to other people, live a good life." "All of that just kind of leads to... what is the best way to live in this world?" "Everyone in Kalu Yala, it's..." "It's very difficult for them to relate." "Coming from the hip." "You're swinging it back behind you." "Gringos come from, like, a completely different world." "Here in the kitchen in Kalu Yala, we attend around 120 people per day." "We also need to take care of the gluten-free people, the vegans, the vegetarians." "But, then again, because of where we are in the..." "And the type of operation that we have, it's not feasible to accommodate certain types of allergies." "I have avocado here and cucumber here." "Um, I've been cooking out here because I'm super gluten-free." "It's been really challenging." "Just trying to maintain a separate space." "If I touch, um, something that had bread, I get sick." "Honestly, just not feeling supported." "And my family has been really supportive." "My mom, especially, has made it so that we all cook together, we'll all go out and grocery shop together." "And then coming here has just been a whole other ball game for so many reasons." "There's several of us with food allergies that have just been completely overlooked, and I feel like I'm totally..." "Like, I'm glad that I've been cooking for myself, because I'm know that I'm gonna be able to eat." "Haw!" "Beautiful!" "Thank you!" "Yummy." "Right now, we are on another part of Kalu Yala property." "It's on the other side of the river." "A year ago, it was bought, um, by Kalu Yala, and the idea is that this will be like town 2.0." "But that won't be for another 20 years, so, you know, I came and I told Jimmy, I was like," ""Why have this piece of land not being used when we could use it to feed people?"" "He's like, "Let's... do it."" "Anisa. ¿Que paso?" "I'd say almost everyone in Kalu Yala, it's very difficult for them to relate to locals." "Gringos come from, like, a completely different world, and I... sometimes," "I don't even feel like they're comfortable around that environment." "There's other "us and them" attitudes sometimes that Americans kind of..." "Kind of tend to carry around with them, which is a little disappointing." "Anisa." "Anisa." "Whoo!" "So, all these drinks are Willie's rum." "Stoked to get some more of these." "Number six..." "Define mise en place." "Um, it's just, all your prep is ready for the day, ingredients, just like, your onions are chopped up, your kitchen, and your tools are all where they're supposed to be." "Good." "Vengo de..." "I come from." "Okay." "Really get it out there, and I." "Hey, Olivia, Connor, Ash, do you all need your machetes sharpened?" "They're..." "He's already over there." "Wait." "I want mine sharpened, but I didn't claim one." "Well, bring it on over." " How do I choose one?" " I think you just..." "I think you just come over here and grab a machete." "Do you just want to choose one for me?" "Okay, Relle." "It'll be a love gift." "Isn't he sharpening the ones that he didn't claim?" "I think we're about ready, aren't we?" " Yeah." " Yeah, let's do it." "All right, let's, - Let's round them up." " Is that yours?" " Yeah." "Is this anyone's?" " Here's Harper." " How sharp." "Who are we missing?" "Where's Pat?" "Grab a machete." "I shouldn't be trusted with this... thing." "Rule number one with machetes..." "No sword fighting." "And the reason is that you could kill somebody." "Um, also, close-toed shoes." "Does everybody have close-toed shoes?" "Yay." "Eventually, by the end of the semester," "I hope this kind of becomes close to an extension of your body." "So, let's go ahead and strike some things." "Just kind of get a little bit more of an athletic stance, all right?" "So, we're not kind of bending over like that, right?" "We're kind of in it, you know, it's just that kind of..." "It's coming from the hip." "A lot of it's the swing of the wrist, maybe from, like, your hand, yeah, on your knees." "Matching it deeper." "Not..." "You're not..." "It's not..." "You know, you don't swing a baseball bat like this, right?" "You know, dude, that was also Connor." "You're swinging it back behind you." "You know how really sad this is." "You're lucky you're doing it with me and not the campasinos, 'cause they will give you so much shit." "Really?" "Yeah." "Yeah!" " Whoo!" " Did that feel awesome?" "Hit it again!" "Hit it again!"
