   Slam the Gavel welcomes back Riti Chikkerur to the podcast. Riti was last on Season 3, Episode 154. Today she is accompanied by Attorney Kelly March in Colorado. Today we discussed Our Children Matter Most, Inc. where Riti Chikkerur is Executive Director of the OCMM, a non-profit and in the process of restructuring as a Benefit Corporation and collaborates with NAACP. Why can't doing good be profitable? Because it is solution based. Riti is in the process of going to law school.   TILA-LABS (Trauma Informed Legal Advocacy) was discussed which provides holistic approach and solutions to the parents and also to the legal community. This will include nutrition, legal, spiritual and mental health. They will soon be launching TILA-LABS, a one-stop holistic trauma informed view on a parent's situation, helping to resolve it.     Attorney Kelly March, in Colorado since 2010, began to see how corrupt and backwards some situations can get in the family courts. Attorney March saw that certain families could benefit from TILA-LABS as they become overwhelmed by the system. A holistic approach would be so beneficial to families and shorten  court cases which would in turn benefit the children.To Reach Riti Chikkerur and Attorney Kelly March:  www.ourchildrenmattermost.org or dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. Episode 90 is a refresh of the third of the original episodes published in the summer of 2022. During these dog days of summer, it's a good time to bring back some of our earliest episodes that cover fundamental topics that nonprofit leaders and aspiring leaders need to understand. In this refresh of episode three, I cover the general principles of state law rules that address corporate governance. Under state law, the business and affairs of a nonprofit corporation must be managed and all corporate powers are to be exercised by and under the direction of the board of directors. Each director has personal duties to the corporation. Principally, these duties are the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. This nonprofit basics episode addresses director duties and best practices for the typical nonprofit public benefit corporation. In the first section, I summarize the duty of care, including a discussion of the manner in which a careful director meets this standard. The second section discusses the duty of loyalty with a particular emphasis on dealing with actual and potential conflicts of interest. Since this episode was first published, we've added the podcast to our YouTube channel, so listeners might want to look over the playlist on our channel that covers all the basics and also our broad coverage of the formation mechanics in 32 states, so far. Take a look at the show notes for updated links.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with David Bellos, professor of Comparative Literature at Princeton University, to discuss his recent book Who Owns This Sentence?: A History of Copyrights and Wrongs, co-authored with Alexandre Montagu. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel's targeting of Al-Shifa hospital, the false UNRWA accusations, Russian elections, US realtors, SCOTUS, the sale of US Steel, the Federal Reserve, and Donald Trump's legal woes, before parsing through objections from US representatives to the continued commitment to Israel's obvious lies about UNRWA. Professor David Bellos then joins, diving right into the contemporary distinctions between patents, trademarks, and the monstrous world of copyright, with the former two requiring applications and reapplications, while copyright allows for extensive, long-term monopoly over intellectual property for both individuals and corporations. After briefly touching on the concept of intellectual property writ large, Professor Bellos steps back to look at the initially parallel histories of patents and copyright, both birthed alongside the creation and dissemination of the printing press in 15th Century Venice to provide a distinction between the limited ownership of newly-authored works and the public domain of older and classical art, also touching on the much longer (and more severe) history of trademarks stretching back through the medieval times. Moving forward, Bellos then walks Sam and Emma through how the evolution of the world of intellectual property over the 18th and 19th Centuries largely took place in Western Europe, with Paris and London leading the way to the 1886 Berne Convention while other Western states like the US seriously lagged, also touching on the lack of ideology or even rationality behind the slow but steady expansion of these rights, before parsing through the US' 180º turn on intellectual property over the 20th Century as they came into their hegemonic station, not only signing onto Berne but forcing anyone who wanted help from the Neoliberal order to do so as well. Following a conversation on the particularly astounding role of employer or corporate ownership over intellectual property, they wrap up the interview with an assessment of IP's role in stifling creativity, how major media companies would react to a complete overhaul of IP law, and what ideal reforms to IP would look like. Sam and Emma also update us on the Aldaghma family's escape from Gaza. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Bibi Netanyahu's response to Senator Schumer's call for new Israeli elections, John from San Antonio previews some of the biggest primary races in tomorrow's elections and touches on progressives' failures in California, and the MR Crew parses through the highlights from Donald Trump's insane rally for Bernie Moreno in Ohio – including an appearance from the January 6th Choir, and the differing responses to Trump's “bloodbath” comments and his comments on migrants not being people. Fox works to normalize Trump's actively genocidal rhetoric, Jo Snuffy and Kathy from South Dakota dive into the Biden Administration plan for a temporary aid port in Gaza, and Boeing's controversies grow as a whistleblower is found dead, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Word in Black website states a mission: "To be the most trusted news and information source for, about, and by Black people.”   Founded on June 7, 2021, just after the entire world witnessed the tragic death of George Floyd, 10 of the nation's most prestigious Black legacy newspaper publishers joined together to launch a collaborative online news presence to work together to serve their local readers and combine their resources and content into a single branded platform.   Word in Black was initially incubated inside the Local Media Foundation (LMF), a 501(c)(3) organization affiliated with the Local Media Association. As of January 1, 2024, as part of the original plan, the foundation has sold the assets to Word in Black's newly formed public benefit company. It will continue to provide support as a shareholder in the new entity.   Today, Word in Black boasts a newsroom with 10 full-time journalists and freelancers covering topics including health, education, finance, climate justice, religion and more — all outlined in their recently published Impact Report.   The 10 founding newspapers include: ·      AFRO News ·      The Atlanta Voice ·      Dallas Weekly ·      Houston Defender ·      Michigan Chronicle ·      New York Amsterdam News ·      The Sacramento Observer ·      The Seattle Medium ·      The St. Louis American ·      The Washington Informer    In this episode of "E&P Reports," we explore Word in Black. This three-year-old online news collaboration includes 10 of the most prestigious Black newspapers in America that announced its transition to public benefit company status. Appearing along with Nancy Lane, co-CEO of the Local Media Association, whose foundation helped incubate the project, are founding members: Dr. Frances “Toni” Draper, CEO and publisher of AFRO News, Elinor R. Tatum, publisher and editor-in-chief of the New York Amsterdam News and Patrick Washington, CEO/co-Publisher of the Dallas Weekly.

In a world that is run by numbers and views people as parts of a machine, it can be so easy to lose ourselves and connect to what matters. Adriana Machado fills in the missing piece that connects the corporate world with purpose: systems thinking. Adriana is one of Latin America's most celebrated women business leaders and an outspoken advocate in the impact economy space. She is a former CEO of GE Brazil and Founder of the Briyah Institute, a Benefit Corporation that bridges innovation, practice, and purpose. In this episode, she shares with us how systems thinking emphasizes that instead of machine parts, people themselves are living systems that have the power of self-organization that no machine can ever have. When we apply this to business, we can make a true difference and an even bigger impact not only to ourselves but to the world. Find out more about systems thinking, the importance of spirituality in business, biomimicry, and more in today's conversation!Love the show?

Of the many hopeful developments in psychedelic research in recent years, perhaps the most important is that FDA approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for treating post-traumatic stress disorder appears likely within the next year. That prospect is due in no small part to our Raise the Line guest, Dr. Michael Mithoefer, who has spearheaded clinical trials of MDMA-assisted therapy for more than twenty years and is a senior leader at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies Public Benefit Corporation which has led this groundbreaking research. Although he notes that FDA approval isn't guaranteed, Mithoefer is contemplating what the practicalities will be of implementing this multi-stage therapy regimen, and he has cause for concern. “I think now the question is going to be, if it's approved, how does it fit into this medical system we have, which I think is quite dysfunctional, especially with mental health. To me, the challenge is going to be not to try to distort the treatment to fit the system,” he tells host Shiv Gaglani. In this enlightening conversation, Shiv and Dr. Mithoefer discuss the need for specialized therapist training, the importance of making the therapy available regardless of ability to pay, and other potential therapeutic uses for MDMA. This is a great opportunity to hear from an important voice about the current and future state of psychedelics as a treatment modality. Mentioned in this episode: https://mapsbcorp.com/

In a world that often prioritizes profit over purpose, it's heartening to see businesses that put social and environmental responsibility at the forefront of their mission. B-Corp, or Benefit Corporation, is a certification that recognizes companies committed to balancing profit with a positive impact on society and the environment. One such shining example is NatureSweet®, a company known for its delicious tomatoes and dedication to sustainability. We had the pleasure of sitting down with Skip Hulett, Vice President, and General Counsel for NatureSweet®, to discuss their journey as a B-Corp and the values that drive their success.

Susan Olesek is an unapologetic idealist, a Human Potentialist in passionate pursuit of what is possible for people. Born outside of Boston, raised in Hong Kong and Japan, and educated in England and California, she earned a BA in Sociology from Occidental College and has cultivated a compassionate interest in human behavior during her lifetime.  Susan brings her conviction that there is something inherently “good” in people to anyone in her presence. During her 15 years of developing self-awareness training for Fortune 500 executives, corporate teams, schools, and those experiencing incarceration, she became known for her compassionate approach to the Enneagram. In 2012 she founded Enneagram Prison Project (EPP): a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the self-awareness education of people who are incarcerated, now scaling around the globe.  While working with wildly diverse groups of people using the same insightful tool, Susan became convinced that the Enneagram has always been meant for everyone. In 2019, she founded The Human Potentialists (THP) a Benefit Corporation with a vision to democratize the Enneagram, and whose mission is guiding people to their highest potential while connecting them to the core of our shared humanity. THP is dedicated to doing business for good. Susan lives in the Santa Cruz mountains with her husband who is EPP's Executive Director, along with their three children, 12 chickens, and 3 cats. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Enneagram Prison Project.

Adam is a serial entrepreneur with a demonstrated history of launching and leading organizations that generate both financial returns and social impact results. He is the CEO of Showcraft GBC (General Benefit Corporation), a leading exhibit production company. Before his role at Showcraft, Adam served as Managing Partner at Third Path Capital, a search fund for social good created to buy and build the Twin Cities' next great impact company, which successfully acquired Showcraft in 2021; he led corporate strategy and innovation at Sunrise Banks, a for-profit impact company, where he architected the bank's expansion into providing bank and compliance services to financial technology start-ups; and, he served as the Founding CEO at Exodus Lending, the nation's leading nonprofit organization working with payday loan borrowers seeking to achieve long-term financial stability. Adam is with me today, discussing where his entrepreneurial spirit came from and why he and his partner decided to buy Showcraft, an exhibit production company, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss why he spent so long searching for the right company to buy and why the need to find a company where they could genuinely make a positive social impact drove the search. Adam also shares the process when they partner with a business that wants to be represented at trade shows and contacts Showcraft for their expertise, and dives into a few of the company's future plans.  “I've always been interested in creating impact with my career and with my life.” - Adam Rao “We create the environment so that you can come in and show up and sell what you're selling.” - Adam Rao “Success can mean different things from monetary to impact.” -  Adam Rao This Week on The Wow Factor: What prompted Adam to find out whether there is a way to create organizations that are financially sustainable and self-generating because they're for-profit entities that are also creating social and environmental impacts How he pulled Showcraft out of a financial death spiral and why he was game to take such a big risk Why he took so much time to find the perfect opportunity in the Twin Cities with his business partner How Adam and his team built the Showcraft back up to where it is now  Services Showcraft offers to streamline a company's trade show experience How they navigate all the regulatory pieces involved in creating an exhibit at a convention center What makes potential partners stand out to Adam, including their environmental and social impacts Why Showcraft recently acquired a company called Display Arts, and how they plan to integrate it into their current offering Adam Rao's Words of Wisdom: You should absolutely be afraid of failure, but if you're only afraid of failure without also being optimistic about success, you're probably too afraid of failure.

What does it mean to be a B Corp? Adam sits down with former GearJunkie editor Sam Anderson to discuss his deep dive on Benefit Corporations, what it means to receive a B Corp certification, and why some companies aren’t recertifying — and why it doesn’t mean what you might think. With the story of Chris King, a bicycle component manufacturer, Sam explains that what started as a means to hold companies accountable to sustainable practices has become a “marketing machine with a fading mission.” From bicycle parts to aluminum coffee capsules, Sam and Adam talk through the dynamics of B Corp certification, and why it might not be the sustainability indicator we once thought it was.

*Spoiler Alert* Remember the warm nostalgia of the Barbie doll? Join us as we journey down memory lane with our childhood companion in a conversation with Celine Miranda, 1% for the Planet's Account Manager for Eastern North America, and Tara Jenkins, CEO and Founder of Conscious Revolution. Reflecting on the iconic movie "Barbie", we discuss how these toys have left a lasting impression on us, causing us to explore deeper and challenge our thoughts. Together, we unpack some of the messaging behind the movie, and how it incorporates the past and the present to teach us about empowerment and dreaming big.Transitioning from our childhood memories, we analyze how our reactions to the movie "Barbie" impacted each of us. We consider the cultural and societal implications of this iconic doll and the film. The production value, lack of CGI, and the strategic use of handmade sets are just a few of the aspects we discuss. Moreover, we examine how different the conversation might have been had we grown up in different decades, exploring the impact of Barbie on different generations.Finally, we reflect on the evolution of Barbie, from being a subject of criticism to being a symbol of empowerment through the process of rebranding. We discuss how this movie, and the makeover of Barbie as a character, bridged the gap between the criticisms and the rebranding of the product. We consider the implications of consumer capitalism in the marketing of the movie. Join us as we uncover the gap between our interests and values, and how the movie "Barbie" helps us bridge it.Links from this EpisodeLearn more about 1% for the Planet in our conversation with Celine MirandaLearn about the differences in B Corp Certification and becoming a Benefit Corporation in our conversation with Tara JenkinsUNBOXING BARBIE: A FILMIC ODE TO EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-DISCOVERY - Read our blog about Barbie Visit 1% for the Planet's WebsiteVisit Conscious Revolution's WebsiteDirigo Collective Website

This week we're learning from Andrew Winston, one of the most widely read writers on sustainable business, and a globally-recognised expert on megatrends and how to build companies that thrive by serving people and the planet. Andrew's journey into the realm of sustainability was a winding one. His formal education in economics and his subsequent tenure as a consultant instilled in him the strategic approach he would later need. However, it was the dot-com crash that turned the tide and urged him to follow a new path. He yearned for something more meaningful, leading him to pursue a degree in environmental management. He didn't anticipate that his first book, written like a consultant and not an environmentalist, would become a bestseller and lay the foundation for his work in helping companies understand the role of business in society. He passionately believes that profits and sustainability are not mutually exclusive and that the majority of a company's value lies in its intangible aspects, such as brand value and customer loyalty. In this episode, Andrew emphasises the need to think beyond traditional business models and consider the broader societal and environmental impacts of operations. He also discusses the B Corp certification and Benefit Corporations, encouraging small to medium-sized enterprises to explore these avenues for demonstrating their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. Andrew also addresses the perception of sustainability practices in Asian companies and dispels myths surrounding China's efforts in renewable energy. Download and listen to learn more. On today's podcast: Green to Gold and the two-by-two matrixWhat makes leaders care about sustainabilityThe politicisation of social and environmental issuesMultinationals and sustainabilityThe value of the B Corp Certification Follow Andrew Winston:WebsiteLinkedInNet Positive The Pig PivotGreen To GoldGreen Recovery  Book recommendations:The Ministry for the FutureThe Inner Game of Tennis Enjoyed the show?

Today, I'm chatting with one of our fantastic bookkeeping clients Natalie Dean Weymark. Natalie is the co-founder and director of Compass Studio, an independent PR and marketing agency that specialises in responsible, purpose-led brands.In this episode, we talk all about B Corp matters, how purpose-led businesses can market authentically to attract values-led audiences, and what Compass Studio is up to this year.B Corp, also known as Benefit Corporations, is a type of for-profit company legally required to balance the interests of its shareholders with the interests of society and the environment. There are a collection of 520 Australian and New Zealand brands that are formally committed to preserving the planet and the well-being of people. B Corp is a third-party audited certification that measures impact across five categories: workers, customers, governance, environment, and community. Natalie describes it as a business alliance that exists here in Australia, but also globally.I was motivated and inspired by Natalie and wanted to be a part of the B Corp movement. Natalie highlights how it not only helps the environment and people across the world, it also helps with your external marketing. B Corp businesses can differentiate themselves from their competitors by emphasizing their commitment to social and environmental responsibility. This can help them stand out in a crowded market and appeal to customers who prioritise sustainability and social impact.As a business, Natalie reminds us it's really important to get clear on your values and be very specific. These aren't lofty ideals. They're meant to be very real-life things that you are committing to on a daily basis for your business and start with taking small steps. Tune in to find out more about B Corp businesses, how Natalie runs Compass Studios as a B Corp business,  Natalie's marketing strategies and everything she has planned for Compass Studio this year.

The Resale Edit: What Brands Should Consider When Building A Resale ProgramThe only place to start this week is the Charnard's decision to give 100% of Patagonia to a trust and holding company charged with manifesting Patagonia's mission: to save our home planet. There are few leaders that live their values with the willingness to discard and invent new structures for the times–Patagnoia's IronClad Guarantee, 1% for the planet, the Footprint Chronicles, Benefit Corporation, “Don't Buy This Jacket” and of course Worn Wear. Consistent with the past 50 years, Yvon and Patagonia are still willing to do so, with this recent move. Leadership can be elusive but we certainly know it when we see it. Thank you, Yvon, Milinda, Ryan, and the Patagonia team for continuing to lead.As NYFW wrapped up last week and climate week kicked off this week, Fortune points out the disagreeable truth that climate goals and big fashion business models simply do not align. Although brands and retailers are taking steps to be more sustainable, there is still a disconnect on how many goods a company can make to reach environmental goals. We are not going to address this within our current linear model. And it's one of the reasons so many fashion brands are launching resale programs. But with all these new programs how can one distinguish between business innovation and marketing? One way is to look at the business model behind the effort. Innovative business models are set up to be profit centers for the business, they address core activities such as buying and selling pre-owned items. Marketing programs have an ROI that drives traffic but are not set up to become core for the business. Saks Off 5th, who expanded their resale efforts this week with LXR and Reflaunt is aiming to make money by buying and selling pre-loved items. This is business model innovation given the ability to scale a profit center. Whereas UK fashion provider, Joules, who also announced a resale program is essentially awarding gift cards to get you back in the store, more akin to smart marketing. Marketing efforts can evolve into business innovation, but approaching resale as a business innovation certainly improves the odds of capturing the customer shift underway.Saks Off 5th initially partnered with LXR back in 2020 selling pre-owned handbags in-store. Their program has now expanded with Rent the Runway and Reflaunt to offer roughly 1,000 items online. Many of the resold items are not typically sold via the Off 5th banner including Hermes, Fendi, Prada, and Tom Ford. This makes sense for a discount retailer who can now buy back and resell higher-end pieces to their value-oriented customer base. This is a business that has the potential to continue to grow, not a marketing program.We will see more of these programs across value-oriented retailers such as Walmart, Target, JCP, and Macy's as they find new ways to attract and maintain value-oriented customers. As a not-so-small footnote, brands should beware these programs have significant brand risk in the new supply, discounting and merchandising of branded items outside the brand's purview. As compared to traditional wholesale relationships where brands share in revenue, these programs both buy from and sell to customers, bypassing the brands altogether.@James Reinhart wrote a fantastic article in Fast Company comparing fast fashion to big tobacco. James' points included the social pressures of the newest look and price point with cigarettes in the media and affordability at the time. It's possible there will be class action lawsuits or the government will regulate fast fashion but even if this does occur it won't be soon. For now, this article serves more as a billboard highlighting the need for new business models as fashion considers the sustainability implications of the industry.WWD covered lululemon's annual sustainability reporting which highlighted the challenges of our current commerce model from a CO2 perspective. Lulu shared an 82% absolute reduction, ahead of plan on direct emissions (scope 1 and 2) while indirect emissions (scope 3) increased 4%. Given lululemons growth, 4% would still be commendable by some and it also highlights the innovation needed from new business models such as lululemon's Like New. Other brands were in the news for sustainability press releases including Puma's new recycled shoe, others implementing ‘more sustainable' logistics and packing materials, and Macy's circularity program. While these make good marketing, many of these efforts, such as the process of producing a shoe from recycled content, is not addressing the systemic problem a growing fashion CO2 footprint–an exception may be Macy's move to digital samples which can scale and does address core operations. Saks Off 5th and lululemon's Like New program are examples of business innovation that can ultimately scale where business growth isn't directly tied to growing CO2 emissions.The So WhatFashion brands who are serious about climate goals will need to innovate profitable circular models. If your resale program doesn't make money buying and reselling pre-owned items, question if it's really just a marketing program and won't address your innovation agenda.Premium and luxury brands get ready for a very different retail landscape where more of your products are repurchased and resold in channels and stores you would disapprove of, bypassing you entirely. In order to control your brand, you will need ways to track and control your items beyond the first sale, owning the resale channel for your items.Week of September 23:Saks Off 5th on Resale: A Golden OpportunityWomen's Wear DailySaks Off 5th is ready to join resale. Throughout the last several months, Saks Off 5th has been partnering with companies like LXR & Co. and Rent The Runway to start building a network of pre-loved sources. Most recently, Saks Off Fifth launched with Reflaunt introducing menswear, men's accessories, footwear, and sunglasses into its roster of pre-loved merchandise. What is Driving Luxury Resale's Push into Physical Retail?The Fashion LawConsumer goods brands benefit from brick-and-mortar stores as physical retail drives higher spending, lower return rate, and acts as a better vehicle for new customer acquisitions. It's time for resale to get with the “old” way of shopping- in-store. The RealReal, Rebag, and Privè Porter plan to expand their physical store locations to achieve profitability and create the ultimate luxury experience for shoppers. Big fashion can't align its climate goals with its business modelFortuneAs the crossroads of NYFW and Climate Week meet, so does the disagreeable truth that climate goals and big fashion business models simply do not align. Although brands and retailers are taking steps to be more sustainable, there is still a disconnect on how many goods a company can make to reach environmental goals. Lululemon's Latest Impact Report Puts Pressure on Decarbonization Women's Wear Daily Lululemon has already captured the hearts of billions, $1.9 billion in quarterly revenues to be exact. The brand has made amazing strides towards becoming more sustinable, the brand still saw a 4% increase in Scope3 emissions from last year. Lululemon is now putting all of its efforts to focusing on transitioning to renewable, efficient energy. Earth is now our only shareholder.PatagoniaPatagonia is in the business of saving our home planet, by “going purpose.” Ditching the traditional route of going public, Patagonia is choosing to take its wealth and invest in the planet. 100% of the company's voting stock will transfer to Pataonia Purpose Trust and 100% of the nonvoting stock has been given to the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting the environmental crisis and defending nature. Macy's rolls out circular servicesEcotextile NewsFor the last 18 months, Macy's has started integrating new solutions to help conquer its sustainability improvement goals. It's efforts focus on offering ethically produced products and brands to its customer base, while simultaneously reducing its environment mental impact through logistics. Salesforce Enters the Carbon-Credit BusinessThe Wall Street JournalSalesforce is entering the carbon-credit business with force as it gears up to launch it's new Net Zero Marketplace for carbon credits. The marketplace will tackle transparency and quality issues in the ever-changing field. It will launch October 9th with almost 90 projects which will support programs such as soil health and renewable energy. Why fast fashion is the next Big TobaccoFast CompanyGen Z is known as being the most eco-friendly generation yet, even though they feed into the addiction that is fast fashion more than any other consumer group. As fast fashion continues to go unchallenged, the more and more it starting to sing the same tune as Big Tobacco, especially when targeting Gen Z. Fashion brands are launching partnerships with sustainable logistics providersGlossyIn effort to support authenticity around new initiatives, retailers like Rebecca Minkoff, EB Denim and Rent the Runway are taping more sustainable shipping and packaging solutions, like Route and Olive. Route takes the heavy lifting out of the post-purchase experience by offsetting shipping emissions through integrated AI tracking parcels from retailer to customer. Ol

“And I just feel that people, I now I have so much more perspective, but at the time, even I felt people who have already had so much adversity in their life. That's a big precursor to how people get behind bars. And then when they're there, I feel like that's the time to heal, but we have such a different mindset in our country and other countries do the same and such a punitive one. And that didn't, that's not how I am organized inside. That's not what feels right in me. And so I think right away, I saw how things could be different, but I also saw just the power of this tool in people's hands who were really starving to understand what was wrong in their lives and thinking there was something wrong with them. And, I just think my approach to the enneagram is that there's nothing wrong with any of us. Enneagram is a map to show us what's so right about us. And it felt like the, the most profound place to be figuring out how to teach it, which is what I was doing,” says Susan Olesek, founder of the Enneagram Prison Project, a non-profit dedicated to sharing the power of self-awareness education using the Enneagram system with those who have been imprisoned around the globe. An unapologetic idealist, and an enneagram Type One for those who are familiar with the system, Susan joins us today to share her compassionate approach to the Enneagram, honed over 15 years of engaging with Fortune 500 executives, corporate teams, schools and those experiencing incarceration. She recently founded  The Human Potentialists (THP) a Benefit Corporation with a vision to democratize the Enneagram, and whose mission is guiding people to their highest potential while connecting them to the core of our shared humanity. She views the Enneagram as an insightful tool meant to guide all of us to our highest potential, convinced that people are inherently good and encouraging us to see the possibilities that lie beyond our “personality.” Susan takes us through the potential and pitfalls of each Enneagram type, reminding us that it is vulnerable work to look deeply at ourselves in order to see and break free from the prison of our design. Their public program 9PrisonsONEKey is EPP's compassionate introduction to the Enneagram will be accepting applications beginning July 29th, 2022.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Leaning in when we feel resistance… The nine personality types… Seeing the possibilities beyond our personality prison… MORE FROM SUSAN OLESEK: Enneagram Prison Project The Human Potentialists Both Sides of the Bars | Susan Olesek | TEDxWashingtonSquare DIG DEEPER: The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types RHETI: The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
