In this episode, Matt Prewitt sits down with Audrey Tang, Taiwan's Cyber Ambassador-at-large and 1st Digital Minister, as well as the star of the new short documentary Good Enough Ancestor. It is a fascinating conversation exploring the profound intersections of technology, spirituality, and democracy. Topics they cover include: Daoism and spiritual practice – and their favorite Leonard Cohen lyrics.“Laser blended vision” as a metaphor for democracy – integrating different perspectives into a coherent whole.“High-bandwidth, low-latency” democracy – allowing for real-time collaboration.January 6 vs. Taiwan's Sunflower Movement – contrasting two parliamentary occupations.Marshall McLuhan's “hot and cool media” – and what it means for how we should build and use AI.The role of education in democracy – and how spirituality's place in learning differs between the East and West.AI's moral tradition gap – why today's models lack cultural and ethical grounding.Trade, sovereignty, and democracy – how to balance open societies with national autonomy.RadicalxChange – how the movement is like “conservative anarchism” and Daoism in transcending left-right divides.Watch Good Enough Ancestor at combinationsmag.com/good-enough-ancestor.Bios:Audrey Tang, Taiwan's Cyber Ambassador-at-large and 1st Digital Minister (2016-2024), is celebrated for her pioneering efforts in digital freedom. Named one of TIME's “100 Most Influential People in AI” in 2023, Tang was instrumental in shaping Taiwan's internationally acclaimed COVID-19 response and in safeguarding the 2024 presidential and legislative elections from foreign cyber interference. Tang is now focused on broadening her vision of Plurality — technology for collaborative diversity — to inspire global audiences.As the first nonbinary cabinet member globally, Tang identifies as “post-gender” and is comfortable with any pronouns. She is a respected community leader and a founding contributor to g0v, an initiative promoting transparency by making information about Taiwan's economy, history, politics, and culture accessible.Tang has been key in developing participation platforms such as Join.gov.tw, leading to practical improvements like enhanced access to tax software and revised cancer treatment regulations.

Growing up in a large family following Christian and Taoist traditions, Tang embraced pluralism and the internet's potential to connect people based on shared interests rather than geography, fueling her drive for global impact.In Taiwan, Tang's generation has always intertwined politics with the internet, striving for a more transparent and inclusive society. Despite Taiwan's martial law history, Tang and her fellow civic technologists have achieved internationally acclaimed progress toward greater governmental transparency.During the 2014 Sunflower Movement, Tang played a crucial role in livestreaming protests against a trade agreement with Beijing, facilitating real-time communication that led to more peaceful negotiations and the movement's success.“Democracy can evolve.” Tang says. “We can create innovative policies by simply asking the people, ‘What should we do together?'”There is also promising news behind Tang's grand plan: more than half the world's population – over 4 billion people – are holding elections in 2024. That's over 70 countries.Says Tang, “I want to be a good enough ancestor for future generations.”Audrey's Social Links: ⿻ Audrey Tang 唐鳳 (@audreyt) / X⿻ Audrey Tang 唐鳳 (@audreyt.org) — Bluesky唐鳳Audrey Tang (@digitalminister.one) • Threads, Say morePlurality.net Matt Prewitt (he/him) is a lawyer, technologist, and writer.

What are soft skills? Soft skills have gone through many different names – sometimes they're now called “durable skills” or “21st century skills”. These “soft skills” are the human qualities that determine our success in work and life – abilities such as establishing a vision, communication, leadership and working with people who have different viewpoints. The real world impact of soft skills Recent studies by Harvard University and the Carnegie Foundation reveal that only 15% of job success comes from technical know-how or, what we would call “hard skills”. An incredible 85% is attributed to having well-honed people skills. Thinking outside the context of work, it often seems that almost all our success can be traced back to strong interpersonal skills. So what constitutes personal success? Strong relationships, enriching experiences, and the ability to make good decisions that benefit us and others. These skills are ever more crucial in a world where loneliness is alarmingly common and where technology often keeps people apart or causes more pain than harmony.

Our 6th season opens up a deeper conversation, regarding higher education, community and resources for the next generation of workforce for our Latine Youth. Our guest is Dr. Antonia O. Franco, COO and President of DigitalNest.org. Dr. Antonia O. Franco's career spans nearly thirty years of executive and management experience in the nonprofit, philanthropic and government sectors advancing access, equity and a voice to marginalized communities. She has worked extensively on leading organizational change, creating strategic partnerships and community building, and scaling the work of programs, initiatives and organizations. She oversees the programmatic and operational initiatives that support the scaling efforts spanning the five rural communities of Watsonville, Salinas, Gilroy, Modesto and Stockton.  Dr. Antonia and I  discuss her inspiring journey into higher education, through perseverance and by highlighting the pivotal role her family, community support, and how she saw that representation matters. If you can see it, you can be it.  Growing up in an agricultural community in Arizona, Dr. Franco's story is a testament to the power of nurturing curiosity and providing opportunities for young people to envision and achieve their aspirations. Dr. Franco and I discuss the current lack of diversity in tech and educational leadership and stress the importance of motivating more of our Latine community to pursue careers in education, technology and the  STEM industries. By showcasing various career paths, organizations like Digital Nest are guiding young people toward building economic equity by fulfilling impactful careers by utilizing tech and helping them into their first career within tech organizations.  We both emphasize how important it is to pay it forward to our future generations by the change we are setting in motion through organizations, such as Digital Nest and by using this podcast platform to lift our voices.

Is professional coaching a scam? Recent articles in major publications like The New York Times and ProPublica have cast a critical eye on the life coaching industry, highlighting serious concerns about unethical practices and questionable training programs.  Lumia is a leader in the coaching industry and we believe it's important to address these issues head-on.  Noelle Cordeaux, PCC, CEO of Lumia Coaching, and Chris Clark, PCC, COO and instructor at Lumia, recently sat down on the Everything Life Coaching podcast to discuss these articles, the state of the coaching industry at large, how to identify reputable training programs, and the transformative impact coaching can have when practiced ethically.

At this time, the coaching industry is experiencing significant growth. The wellness economy is projected to surge from $5.6 trillion to $8.5 trillion by 2027. The rise in popularity of coaching has been heightened by global events like the pandemic, which sparked a collective realization about the importance of purpose and meaning in our lives. For those interested in enhancing their coaching mastery and credibility in the field, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) has designed a progressive system of credentials - moving from Associate Certified Coach (ACC) to Professional Certified Coach (PCC) to Master Certified Coach (MCC). This system is intentionally staircased from one level to the next based on the total number of client coaching hours that a coach has performed because coaching is a craft that requires practice to perfect. In this expanding market, an ICF credential serves as a way to enhance and legitimize your coaching skills. Not only that, with only 50,000 ICF credentialed coaches worldwide, this globally recognized independent seal of approval helps you stand out in an industry that is still largely unregulated, giving clients and employers confidence in your capabilities.

Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, recently sat down with Lumia alumni Elizabeth J. O. to explore an emerging frontier in coaching: the integration of psychedelic experiences. Elizabeth J. O. co-founded Altered States Integration, a practice dedicated to guiding individuals through their psychedelic journeys, ethically and responsibly. Psychedelics have long been associated with profound personal transformations, and Elizabeth emphasizes that the true potential of these experiences lies not just in the moments of revelation but in the subsequent integration process.  Coaches can make a big impact on clients before, during, and after these experiences – but there are many elements and ethical questions to consider before diving into a psychedelic integration coaching practice. Elizabeth J. O. is a holistic Nutritionist and Change Coach with 12 years of clinical practice. Her journey to become a healer was fueled by the need to overcome childhood traumas. Elizabeth has used her training to quit many of the self-harming behaviors of Borderline Personality Disorder. During the last decade, she has studied human behavior, psychology, yoga, flow states, and mindfulness-based therapies. Elizabeth recently combined these tools with psychedelics in experiments to neurohack her emotional suffering from depression. She talks about this in her new book, “Breaking Emotional Addiction: Neurohacking Borderline Personality Disorder with Ibogaine.”  Elizabeth studied both herbal medicine and nutrition at Bastyr University, a college of natural medicine. She travels teaching workshops and has a virtual coaching practice. In her free time she does peer support in online forums and volunteers at festivals offering psychedelic harm reduction. Elizabeth is passionate about reducing the barriers to finding compassionate support for processing non-ordinary states of consciousness. You can connect with them here.

Becoming an effective coach, especially in a corporate or organizational setting, means understanding the tools and strategies for working with people who come from many different experiences. Gender sensitivity is the ability to acknowledge that inequality exists, think deeply about how gender influences people and their lives, and, in some cases, to take action to correct imbalances. In a recent session hosted by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coaching Science Community of Practice, Dr. Christine Vitzthum, one of the few MCC-level coaches in Germany, shared her insights on this subject based on her research conducted at Oxford and information from that session informs this episode!
