In a rush of Q4 madness, we’re stepping back and taking a deep dive into something a little different, something that pulses with life itself – the Heart Economy. This movement isn’t just a whisper in the cacophony of leadership strategies; it’s a call to action, beckoning leaders to sync with a rhythm that’s been overlooked by many—a rhythm that thrums in the chests of each of us. In this episode, we’re connecting with the visionary behind this movement, Arnaud Saint-Paul. We're peeling back the layers of their unique assessment tool, exploring the seven pillars that seek to redefine success. There's a method to this heartfulness, and it's not just about feeling good—it's about good business. Dive in to hear the data and stories that derive from heart-driven leadership.

The world is moving at breakneck speed, and as you’ve probably become aware….our lives are more and more relying on our data. We rely on this data, but have little ability to utilize them in the manner we use our physical possessions (loaning, renting, upgrading, etc.) Digital ownership is an important field to understand as more and more of our lives go online. In this episode, we talk with Shira Stember, the Chief Operating Officer of Snickerdoodle Labs. Snickerdoodle is developing core infrastructure to ensure all internet users can benefit from the amazing private, secure and transparent digital future we need to retain human rights and protect our sovereignty. As we spiral into a future that exists in more virtual spaces, digital ownership is fundamental to our individual and collective sovereignty.

Given the pace of development over the last century, and the amount of investment in carbon-based economy, flipping the switch to renewables over night is, unfortunately, not realistic.

Hitesh and his team are creating a cleaner, greener, more just energy and economic system that's being implemented today.

Our governance structures and processes are stuck in the 1960s. If we don’t act in short order to upgrade our operating systems, we are going to find ourselves in the dustbin of history. Innovators like Myron Ragsdale & Lynn Roosevelt Wiggins join us today to share the tools and their creativity applied to improving our democratic processes. ** Around the 3min mark, Lynn revised the stat, he revises his fact: African American turnout fell by 765k votes in 2016--not the 1.2 M voters mentioned.** - Learn more about InfoVote: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myron-ragsdale/https://www.forbes.com/sites/annefield/2021/02/25/entrepreneurs-goal-boosting-black-millennials-civic-engagement/?sh=6e33b1f71455 - Download the App: https://infovoteapp.com/ - Connect with Myron: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myron-ragsdale/

In recent years, we have seen an influx of innovative and bold experiments in redistributing the wealth accumulated by various institutions, organizations and entrepreneurs. These experiments fly under different flags - universal basic income, corporate social responsibility - social impact bonds, unrestricted granting, stimulus checks, gifts, social impact, etc. Some of these are making big impacts, some of these are perpetuating existing problems, some of these might be inviting new problems, and some of these giving practices just might be the key to the more just, equitable, accessible future so many of us strive to bring about. To help us make sense of the emerging giving practices, we are joined by Susan Hairston - a titan in the field of philanthropy, an elected official and a business owner.

When it comes to housing, the challenge we face is not an imbalance of housing supply and demand, but a gross misallocation of our housing resources. How many homes do you have? How many empty rooms are in your home(s)? On your street? In your city? Map this fact on top of a growing elderly population, with low to high needs for support - everything from grocery shopping, to companionship, to homecare sertvices. Many times, our seniors find themselves land rich and cash poor. Between the abundance of rooms and the growing needs of the people in those homes, an elegant, win-win-win solution is emerging. Home shares. Today I sit down with the founder of SHARE California, an organization that matches individuals needing housing with housed senior needing varying degrees of support. SHARE uses high tech and high touch to deliver a shockingly nimble approach that is producing BIG results Learn more: Website: https://sharesonomacounty.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SHARESonomaCounty/

Before we were mandated to stay isolated, many of us struggled with a lack a connection - to self, our culture, our families, our friends, our purpose and environments. This lack of connection is at the root of many of our mental health challenges, that present as anxiety, cutting, bullying, school shootings, depression, obsession, addiction, suicide and the myriad of other mental health challenges me, you and our neighbors battle daily. As the mental health conversation becomes more important, psychologists, therapists and self-care practitioners are beginning to understand the importance of cultural compatible interventions to better serve the populations they seek to support. One example that I am particularly excited about is the use of hip-hop to help youth understand, expand, express to erect a better future. Today we are in conversation with the founders of Rhythmic Mind, a Hip-Hop Therapy organization, serving teens and Transitional Age Youth in the greater Bay Area.
