Season 2: Modeling the Secrets of the Bees — Podcast Description
Mark Rubin, a lifelong Dreamweaver, has spent decades observing how nature turns energy into structure, purpose, and progress. In The Secrets of the Bees, he reveals the hidden mechanics behind the hive—how bees convert sunlight into motion, motion into honey, and honey into the architecture of thriving systems.
This podcast distills those insights into a practical framework for world-building and long-term thinking. Through stories, models, and the Long Game Framework, Mark shows how the principles inside every hive mirror the principles inside every dream, project, and organization. Each episode uncovers one of the Secrets of the Bees and translates it into tools you can use to build, optimize, and sustain the life you want.
If you’ve ever wondered how nature organizes complexity, why bees never waste a second, or how to turn your own ideas into living systems that grow, this podcast is your field guide. The hive has rules. The bees have lessons. And the long game has a pattern.
Come learn the secrets.
