A sustainable method of producing jet-fuel could be on the horizon for New Zealand air carriers. A study commissioned by Air New Zealand found it's possible to create jet fuel out of forestry industry waste like sawdust, slash, and offcuts. Through chemical processes, the waste is turned into ethanol and then kerosene. Air New Zealand's Kiri Hannifin told Ryan Bridge that it's a global phenomenon moving at great pace. She said that at the moment there's about 30 manufacturers in the world, and they'll need around 5000 to 7000 by 2050 to ensure sufficient supply. Hannifin says it's taken a while to get off the ground since the process is so technical, but it will start to move pretty quickly from here.

Air New Zealand domestic airfares are at an all-time high.  Stats NZ data shows the airline's domestic flight prices have gone up by 7% last month compared to January.  The Airport Association is pushing for a policy to monitor the domestic monopoly as they dictate price, routes, and flight schedules.  Matthew Bolland, Air NZ's Corporate Affairs Officer, told Mike Hosking that the increase is comparing apples with pears.  In January people were flying for the holidays, while February people were flying for business purposes, he said.  Bolland told Hosking that if you want a better comparison, you'd look at the average ticket price compared to the year before, which only had a 2% increase.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the fast pace that Generative AI models like Chat GPT have been expanding and improving, it has become quite clear that major disruptions are on the way for every single industry. And the legal industry is likely to be the first to face major disruptions due to these technological advances. Today, Mary O'Carroll,Chief Community Officer at Ironclad, lnc., and Craig Katerber, Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs Officer at Budweiser Brewing Company APAC, discuss generative AI and the impacts they expect it to have on the legal services industry. They also spend time talking about LegalOps, scaling teams, modernizing legal departments, and the benefits of LinkedIn. The landscape of Generative AI already looks very different from how it looked six months ago, and even six weeks ago. It is a rapidly growing technology and is making its way into every industry. This is a very exciting opportunity, especially for creative people who are just beginning to play with the tools and seeing what could be possible. The legal industry is a relatively slow moving one with very outdated processes and an unchanging law school curriculum. Generative AI could bring much needed updates to these areas and propel legal professionals toward a better, more streamlined and efficient way of doing business. Although some people may be fearful of this new technology or worry that it will replace them, there are immeasurable benefits to keeping an open mind and embracing this new way of approaching business. With Generative AI, the old way of doing things is no longer going to be acceptable. The legal services industry in particular is slow to change and many people are still working out of offices with old fashioned filing cabinets and outdated processes. This advanced technology is a great opportunity for people to re-evaluate their current systems and make much needed improvements.  Quotes “One of the biggest catalysts for hiring a legal operations person now is digital transformation.” (18:23-18:28 | Mary) “This is a much bigger moment than a lot of people realize. Generative AI and large language models are going to have a huge effect on every part of our economy in every part of our world.” (26:16-26:26 | Mary) “It's so much about empathy or trying to put yourself in the person's shoes about what they actually want or care about, and there's a huge amount of value there. And we'll see as AI goes, but that's a very human skill.” (33:15-33:29 | Craig) “AI and efficiency has always been at odds with the billable hour, but you can't avoid this now, you can't do business as usual.” (35:34-35:42 | Mary) “If there was ever a distinction of black and white between legal advice and non legal advice, it's going to be a lot more gray in the future.” (36:47-36:54 | Craig)    Links Connect with Mary O'Carroll: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryshenocarroll/   Connect with Craig Katerberg: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-katerberg-70a6373/   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliongroupkc  Instagram: @theliongroupllc Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Valinda Rutledge, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at UpStream, is passionate about helping patients, and empowering them to take charge of their health.    She has a clinical background, and told us UpStream's patient-focus is what drew her to the company. Valinda said a first-step of care in UpStream's system is to meet face-to-face with patients to discuss their mediations.    UpStream works with primary care physicians providing value-based care to those who are older and who have chronic conditions, and embeds pharmacists into the PCP's practice.    Valinda said their patients may have 10-12 medications due to comorbidities. Helping the patients understand the medications they're prescribed is invaluable. It helps build a relationship with the patient, gives the patient the opportunity to talk about side effects they may be having, share troubles paying for the medication, and UpStream can even help synch the RX schedule so the patient isn't going to the pharmacy constantly.    This interview was fascinating, and we were inspired by Valinda's unrelenting dedication to partnering with patients.    Connect with Valinda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valinda-rutledge-69167614/   Learn more about UpStream: https://www.upstream.care     Topical timecodes:   1:37 - The UpStream Difference 3:22 - Meeting face-to-face to talk about medications 5:39 - Learnings from patients  10:29 - Patient success stories  11:56 - Looking forward to potential future downstream health impacts 15:24 - Pharmacists at scale 17:43 - Passion for her work   __________________________ Thanks to the following organizations for supporting the Making Healthcare Work for You mission.   Informed Consulting works with insurance carriers, digital health companies, insurtech organizations, and venture capital firms to drive distribution solutions in the employee benefits ecosystem.

Adam Collins is the Chief Communications and Corporate Affairs Officer at Molson Coors. In years prior, Adam spent four years working for the office of Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and was the Communications Director for the Chicago Police department. In this wide-ranging conversation with Lippe Taylor CEO Paul Dyer, Adam discusses all things Molson Coors, including the Superbowl ad they launched in The Metaverse, executive leadership advice, and details about Miller's long-standing rivalry with Anheuser Busch. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Adam: Pick your battles but put the customer first.  Miller and Anheuser Busch have a famous rivalry that has resulted in everything from hilarious jab ads and online snark to real lawsuits. When asked whether this kind of public sparring with your competitor in a marketing context is worthwhile, Adam cited that it has to ultimately serve the customers. In their recent campaign The World's Dumbest Math Problem, Miller sought to enlighten calorie-conscious beer drinkers that their product, Miller 64 had fewer carbs and calories than Michelob Ultra. This seems like a typical jab but, ultimately many customers had no idea there was a lower calorie option, and thus the ad was successful because it served the customers by educating them. ESG is not only the right thing to do; it can serve the product and the company. Molson Coors has been an innovator in ESG since before it was a thing when founder Bill Coors invented the recyclable aluminum can and gave the technology away for free so it would be ubiquitous across the industry, resulting in fewer steel cans on the side of the road. Today, Coors follows the same example with multiple ESG initiatives that serve the environment and the company. The company's 75+ year sustainable agricultural standards for growing barley not only are better for the earth but make the beer taste noticeably better. Programs that prevent water leakage at production facilities not only save water but save the company money. Finding intelligent ways to make your ESG programs impact your bottom line, as well as the earth, can enable sustainability to be even more sustainable. Be there to pick up the glass. This was a throwaway point Adam made towards the end of the interview, but it bears some focus. When discussing his advice for aspiring marketing leaders, Adam mentions the importance of betting on yourself and taking risks. He also mentions that he empowers his junior staffers to take intelligent, calculated risks by guaranteeing them that if their idea turns out to be a disaster, he will stand by their side and help them clean up the mess. This is what excellent leadership is all about, inspiring your team not only with inspirational phrases but with your word that if the chips are down, you'll be by their side to pick up the pieces.  Thanks for listening, don't forget to subscribe! ----- Produced by https://podcastlaunch.pro (Simpler Media)

In episode 113 of the Disruptors for Good podcast I speak with John Blood, Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs Officer at Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, on the company's mission to eliminate harmful drinking around the globe. In this episode, John is also joined by Bill Novelli, founder of Business for Impact at Georgetown McDonough School of Business.The Business for Impact initiative at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business released an in-depth case study on the current status of Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev)'s Global Smart Drinking Goals (GSDGs). This is a ten-year voluntary initiative by the world's largest brewer to reduce harmful use of alcohol.The GSDGs began in 2015 and will run until 2025. The report is an assessment of AB InBev's progress during the first five years. Within the report, titled AB InBev and Smart Drinking: An Analysis of How the World's Largest Beer Company Contributes to the Reduction of Harmful Alcohol Use, Georgetown recognizes AB InBev as an industry leader for its pioneering efforts to promote “Smart Drinking” through investments in excess of a quarter-billion dollars since 2015.The findings suggest that businesses can play a role in addressing global social challenges, when there is commitment from the top, understanding the need to embed smart drinking into the commercial strategy as recommended by public health experts, and a willingness to go beyond traditional corporate philanthropy to create shared value for both business and society. Specifically, AB InBev's Global Smart Drinking Goals initiative has been successful in bringing together public health and corporate leaders to work collaboratively toward the common goal of reducing harmful drinking. In 2010, the WHO prioritized confronting harmful alcohol use as a global public health imperative, calling for action by governments, civil society organizations, academia, and the alcohol industry.  In response, ABI announced in 2015 it would contribute $1B to reduce harmful drinking globally through a new initiative, the Global Smart Drinking Goals (GSDGs). In doing this, ABI established itself as an industry leader committed to helping to solve harmful drinking across the globe.  Now - the Business for Impact initiative at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business released an in-depth case study on the work ABI has done as part of this $1B commitment: what works, what doesn't, and how alcohol companies can be part of the solution.  Case StudyThe harmful use of alcohol causes approximately 3 million deaths every year. Thus, societies are grappling with how to safely allow for the production and consumption of alcohol while protecting public health. Public health leaders recognize that just as industry contributes to the problem of harmful drinking, it might also play a significant role in solving it. With the launch of the GSDG initiative, ABI has proven that reducing harmful drinking is a priority for the company, and that the global organization is striving to go beyond traditional corporate social responsibility to create shared value for business and society. Case Study Key Findings The alcohol industry must deepen public health collaboration. To drive norm and behavior shifts, social marketing campaigns must be launched as long-term, year-round initiatives in multiple markets across the world. The alcohol industry should engage in policy advocacy, i.e. lend a voice to public policies supported by public health experts. Commitment from the top is key. As is collaboration between public health, corporate leaders, government and nonprofit entities to have a positive impact on society.

In this podcast, James shares his journey of studying Arts and Law and qualifying as a lawyer but never ending up in the profession, often cited as someone who was too ‘hip hop'. This was the universe signalling that he was meant for something else. He started his career in public relations, corporate affairs and investor relations at a large telco company, where he worked on fun promotional events launching various products and raising capital for various projects. This then transitioned into corporate issues management dealing with some very morally challenging projects and it was at this point, where James questioned the integrity and authenticity of what he was doing, his contribution to the world, and where his true purpose lay. A chance meeting with a venture capitalist gave him the confidence to take a ‘micro gamble' during the GFC and launch a blog, which ended up becoming Anthill magazine, and now rates as one of the top business and finance print magazines in the country. James believes strongly in following one's passion and convictions and not feeling lost like a cog in the wheel in some large organisation. He mentions the benefits of taking little micro gambles on what you believe in and is living proof that you can change your lifestyle and destiny doing what you are passionate about. He relocated his family to the country where he and his family enjoy the clean air and relaxed country lifestyle, nevertheless, he continues to make waves in the business community through his multiple projects. In addition to Anthill magazine, James is co-founder of B2B Group, which includes online school and community, where you can find a variety of useful courses, automated tools and software to help you as a small business owners make your journey easier.
