Episode 34: Tyler McMahon is an entrepreneur based in Colorado, USA and Kathmandu, Nepal. He graduated in 2007 from Colorado College with a degree in Economics focused on Environmental and Water Resource Economics. During this, in 2006 he studied abroad on the School for International Training (SIT) Nepal program and developed a proposal for a Fulbright Scholarship on the Economics of Urban Rainwater Harvesting in the Kathmandu Valley, which he won and went back to Nepal in 2007-2008. After this he worked for the UN World Food Progamme in Nepal on monitoring and evaluation and sustainability, which included the largest urban solar system in Kathmandu which set a trend for urban solar. In 2011, wanting to pursue the research from his Fulbright more and the fact that there was a market, need and few suppliers for rainwater harvesting, he started pitching people on the concept. Tyler McMahon, Suman Shakya, and Hem Narayan Shrestha and two others started SmartPaani in September 2011. On the side he races mountain bikes and trail runs, including competing the world's highest and one of the hardest mountain bike stage races, The Yak Attack, 6 times. This episode's motto: "Cheap in the short run is expensive in the long run." Tyler's description of Smartpaani: "SmartPaani (http://smartpaani.com) started in Nepal in 2011, a direct result of my Fulbright (07-08) research on the economics of urban rainwater harvesting and subsequent efforts to get US properties to adopt it as well, along with my work at the UN World Food Programme on sustainability. The company provides a complete set of sustainable water management solutions: rainwater harvesting, water filtration, and wastewater treatment and recycling. These are primarily designed and built in Nepal, with a few products imported to complete the service offering. To date the company has reached over 2000 clients. These include rainwater harvesting systems that collect 50 million liters and recharge 150 million liters back into the ground regularly. Our clean water systems at schools cover more than 35,000 students and our wastewater treatment systems treat and recycle more than 20,000 liters daily. Finally our water filtration system for businesses, resorts and outdoor event management have eliminated the need for more than 40,000 plastic water bottles. Our clients range from households, schools, and larger companies and industries including being the primary urban partner for Coca Cola's water neutrality project. SmartPaani's systems have also been instrumental in one of the most eco-friendly resorts in Asia, Pavilions Himalaya and recently in the new Green School for Blink Now Foundation/Kopila Valley where they both water 3 times before it leaves the premises. The company's ability to address SDG #6 through sustainable water supply access, clean/safe drinking water, and wastewater treatment is unique and has won it recognition through Case Western University's Aim2Flourish award in 2017 and University of Michigan's Positive Business Award in 2018." (The company pitch is a bit long, but trying to work out a pitch that captures our array of services and unique ability to attack the urban and even rural clean water issue with a multi-pronged approach)."

Chris Laszlo, PhD is Professor of Organizational Behavior at Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management, where he leads the Quantum Leadership initiative, which conducts research and practice into elevating consciousness as the highest point of leverage in transforming leaders into agents of world benefit. He is the author of Flourishing Enterprise (2014), Embedded Sustainability (2011), and Sustainable Value (2008) Chris Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Embedding sustainability into a company's core strategy Moving from sustainable to flourishing  Transforming consciousness for sustainable change Advice and recommendations for sustainability leaders Final Five Question Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Get a solid grounding in business operations as well as whatever knowledge you might have about environmental sciences or sustainability communications. All of those are important. If you can get a couple of years of experience in a more of a line management position early on in your career, you will never regret it because you will always be able to speak to people who are running a business or a division or our heads of a functional heads such as head of marketing or head of sales and business with a kind of equal footing that you won't have if you are only in a sustainability background. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability and regenerative development? Direct intuitive learning is a catch phrase that speaks to moving beyond the typical kind of cognitive analytic, cognitive learning that we have, whether it's in business school or in training programs in the workplace. I think business leaders need to engage in practices. Practices of connectedness or narrow sense or mindfulness practices. Whether it's mindfulness meditation or nature immersion. Yoga is popular, but art and aesthetics, appreciative inquiry. There are range of different kinds of practices of this kind. It's even beyond these sort of more esoteric eastern type practices. It's a high quality relationships with friends. It's having a glass of wine with a friend. It's for some people it might be a fishing or going horseback riding. I was speaking to a colleague of mine who said that that's really where they feel, able to feel whole and connected to themselves and to nature and others. The point is that we live in a multitasking world where we're jumping from one electronic screen to another and heavily dependent on analytic cognitive, way of being all the time. To change this consciousness that we spoke about earlier. We need to introduce in the workplace practices that heal people, make people feel whole, that's the next frontier for sustainability professionals will be to emphasize and encourage a lifestyle for all organizational leaders at every level so that before they can focus on flourishing organizations in service of a flourishing world, they themselves as individuals are also able to flourish.  How about a book recommendation? What's the one or two books that you would recommend every sustainability professional read? I really liked Frederic Laloux Reinventing Organizations. It's quite popular. I'll point out that the subtitle of that book is a guide to creating organizations inspired by the next stage of human consciousness. It has had a very big impact on certainly on to their PHD students and executives that I've worked with in the last couple of years since it came out. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you out in your work? It could be anything, websites, software, technologies, guidebooks, any type of resources. I would like to recommend a website called AIM2Flourish.com. There you will find thousands stories were more businesses that are doing well by doing good. These are sort of the untold stories from around the world of businesses that are agents of world benefit. With all the negative news that we have in the world, for those of us that are looking at the role of business, it's encouraging to see just how many businesses, the variety of businesses that have found ways to succeed, financially and economically, by doing good in terms of environmental restoration or social community well-being and personal well-being.  I also have a number of tools in embedded sustainability. I have a new book. I have a co-author, Fred Tsao in China. He's the chairman of a multi-billion dollar shipping and real estate company in Asia based in Shanghai and Singapore. And he and I have coauthored based on his experience as a leader at this company. A new book called Quantum Leadership: New Consciousness in Business. It will be coming out probably later to see from Stanford University press and we will have many of the points we've covered in this podcast in-depth book. Look for it will be Tsao and Lazlo, Quantum Leadership, a new consciousness in business. Where can our listeners go to learn more about your work?

Dr.G’s guest today is the award-winning investigative journalist, Roberta Baskin. The impact of her work has made controversial waves across the media having exposed misconduct among the worlds most trusted and influential corporations – from the Nike sweat shops to the Small Smiles Medicaid scam to the Heineken toxins. Stories ridden with controversy, Roberta backs down to no one, and reveals the hidden truth behind how she cracked these cases. Through her latest initiative AIM2Flourish, Roberta has now re-focused her attention 180 degrees towards educating and inspiring leaders on how to “do well while doing good”. How did she uncover these hot stories? What was the resistance? What’s it like to be a journalist today? Why is there so much bad new today? How do we train our future leaders to be socially responsible? All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Roberta Baskin Roberta Baskin, executive director of AIM2Flourish, is an investigative journalist who spent her career exposing corporate misconduct. As a correspondent for esteemed news programs such as 20/20, 48 Hours and NOW with Bill Moyers, Baskin broke noteworthy stories such as the Nike sweatshop scandal and Small Smiles Medicaid scam. Her work has earned 75-plus journalism prizes including multiple Emmys, prestigious George Foster Peabodys, and the Radio-Television News Directors Edward R. Murrow Award. But after 30 years earning the nickname “Bad News Baskin,” she has shifted her focus to that of showcasing of innovative businesses who do good around the world. Key Interview Takeaways To be an extraordinary investigative journalist, one needs tenacity. Because Baskin didn’t have a journalism degree, she was willing to take risks and work harder than anyone else to get the story. Her naiveté gave her permission to do things that others wouldn’t, i.e.: wait five hours to speak with the manager of a soccer ball factory in Pakistan – a factory that was protected by armed guards. Baskin’s success was rooted in this resolve to tell the stories that weren’t being told. “The story is bigger than the self.” Investigative journalism has the power to transform industries. When Baskin was fired from WMAQ in Chicago over a story about the cancer-causing agents in beer produced in the US, she took it to another network. Once Baskin had uncovered the presence of toxic chemicals, beer companies were finally willing to spend the money necessary to change their process. The media movement to share not just “bad news,” but also stories of resilience and opportunity is powerful and inspiring. Baskin’s AIM2Flourish is a global learning initiative that teaches the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals to business school students and then challenges them to find companies with products and practices that align with said goals. For example, the Indonesian company PT Tirta Marta makes plastic bags out of tapioca. The environmentally friendly bags biodegrade within two weeks, and the use of cassava root in production supports local farmers. AIM2Flourish seeks to discover and reward these pioneering businesses.
