My guest today is Julia Hobsbawm: entrepreneur, writer, and consultant who addresses the challenges of this hyper connected age. She is Chair of the content and connection business Editorial Intelligence. She is the author of six bestselling books including The Simplicity Principle and Fully Connected. Today we are discussing her latest book The Nowhere Office, a book that proposes a radical new way of thinking about work both now and in the future. This isn't an anti-office book but more a look at what the world now looks like: are offices not needed in the same way? What does the future look like? It covers the new challenges of remote working, repurposing offices for more creativity, managing WFH teams and how to work with purpose and greater work/life balance. I really enjoyed it, it reminded me of so much I was writing about in The Multi-Hyphen Method pre-pandemic, so i found it fascinating speaking to her.

In March 2020, Millions of us left the office to begin a new way of working and work has never been the same since.  The debate about hybrid working continues to exercise the minds of many senior execs but is  hybrid working just a mere consequence of something much greater than about where we work but instead how we work, why we work and the culture and purpose of who we work for?My guest this week argues in her new book The Nowhere Office that we have a unique opportunity to reset the world of work and how we work in the future.  Julia Hobsbawm writes extensively about work culture, work-life balance, and the age of overload.  Julia is Chair of The Demos Workshift Commission and Founder and Chair of Editorial Intelligence.

I'm really happy today to have with us Flora Paul. Flora's down in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She works currently for an outfit called UOL which is ... I'll let Flora tell you more about that, because it sounds kind of like AOL meets GoDaddy or something like that. Can you tell me more about UOL? Flora: It's one of the largest and oldest portals in Brazil. I remember when I was using dial up internet in 1997, we would use you UOL to connect to the dial up. It's pretty old in a way, but they really kept up with what was happening in the internet board, and they're really trying to focus to gain more millennial views, so they're really trying to be up today. Larry: That's so interesting because when I look at this site, I see a combination of AOL and Yahoo, which have completely lost relevance in the U.S. They're just gone, but UOL is huge. I think, they're the fifth most visited website in Brazil. Is that correct? Flora: Yes, I think that's right. It's huge, and the numbers are pretty close to Facebook and Google actually. Larry: Interesting. Flora: It's a huge portal. Usually, people would just go to UOL to know if their internet connection is running. It's like that kind of site. Everyone knows it. Larry: Again, back to the AOL. I remember back then people thought of AOL as the internet. Flora: Exactly. Larry: It sounds like that's how UOL is. Interesting.

As Christine Lagarde pointed out, one of the greatest threats to global stability is the ever widening income gap between rich and poor. Oxfam highlighted the issue in dramatic terms at Davos with the bus load of billionaires having the same wealth as 50% of the world's population. Is voluntary philanthropy the silver bullet to the growing income inequality crisis or is philanthropy letting the state off the hook? Hear from a panel who each, in their way, are on the frontline of philanthropy . Recorded live at Editorial Intelligence’s annual ideas festival Names Not Numbers.   Chair: Giles Gibbons, CEO and Founder, Good Business Panel: Joe Cerrell, Managing Director, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Ben Elliot, Founder, Quintessentially Foundation Catherine Mayer, Editor at Large, TIME Lady Catherine Meyer CBE, CEO, Parents & Abducted Children Together (PACT)

Is there a difference between faith and belief? And where does ‘mind’ come into it? Do we need faith in order to compose a moral code or do religions simply codify the “do-as-you-would-be-done-by” rule which underpins human and social relationships. Does organised religion do more good than harm and should it stay out of politics? Recorded live at Editorial Intelligence’s annual ideas festival Names Not Numbers. Chair: Mary Ann Sieghart, Writer and Broadcaster Panel: Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Columnist and Broadcaster Stephen Grosz, Psychoanalyst and Author Tim Montgomerie, Comment Editor, The Times Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE, Senior Rabbi, West London Synagogue    

Military adventurism has given way to a more cautious approach to international relations, with a much greater reliance on diplomacy and politics. In the era of retrenchment, has diplomacy become a mere charade? And how has the digital 24 hour news age and rise of social media affected the practice of diplomacy?  Recorded live at Editorial Intelligence’s annual ideas festival Names Not Numbers. Chair: Toby Mundy, Chief Executive and Publisher, Atlantic Books Panel: Christiane Amanpour, Chief International Correspondent and Anchor, CNN Susan Gibson, Board Member, International Rescue Committee UK Rear Admiral Chris Parry CBE, Security Expert and Strategic Forecaster  James Rubin, Visiting Scholar, Rothermere American Institute, Oxford    

Recent years have seen huge developments in the field of medical genomics and indeed their adoption into mainstream healthcare. How has our understanding of the topic evolved and what further progress is envisioned?  What are the ethical, social and legal implications that such developments entail?

The golden age of advertising is over: no longer is the message transmitted one-to-many, with large captive audiences sitting in front of scheduled TV, but many-to-many and one-to-one, in a fully immersive, mobile, multi-platform world. How do messages get crafted and communicated in these circumstances, and where does creativity happen as a result? And is there a new dark side to this new age of communications?

To mark the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the start of the "Great War" we look at how reportage of war has changed, how it is impacted by the images of war, both moving and still, and the politics of war. Is the role of the journalist and photographer always simply to record events without judging or intervening? Did the death of the late Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times mark a tipping point in the journalist-as-campaigner, and did her impassioned reports about Homs in Syria eventually led, this year, to some reprieve for its people? Recorded live at Editorial Intelligence’s annual ideas festival Names Not Numbers.
