Ever wondered about the origins of Twitter and the role of social media in movements? I got the chance to sit down with Rabble (Evan Henshaw-Plath) who was there at the start as the first employee of the company that created Twitter.  We talk about that but begin with the early days in Northern California growing up as a child of hippies and counterculture thought that and being immersed in that as a child.   We also talk about computers back when that was a new tech, the internet and what social movements can use technology for, including current project Nos and also Causes.  We also talk about the Edmund Hillary Fellowship which we are both part of.   This was a fascinating conversation and if you enjoy it why not check out the 400+ others in earlier episodes of seeds which is trying to create a database of life stories that we can all learn from.  For more on the project visit www.theseeds.nz   Nos site: https://www.nos.social  Causes site: https://www.causes.com   

In 2015, Target bought West's patented marketplace platform, powered by AI. West believes in leadership excellences and was selected as "top 1%" executive by the CEOs of Target, PayPal, and Visa. He was promoted annually at Amazon. He's consistently led large teams (1k+) and budgets ($40M+) and has been awarded 5 patents for technology innovation. Now, he is Founder and CEO at HowDo where he help entrepreneurs and executives accelerate their growth in the era of AI. As part of HowDo, and in an effort to give back, West has created the world's largest open source innovation training program — Business Evolution — which has been used by over 400,000 innovators globally. For Business Evolution's global impact, West became a Fellow in the Edmund Hillary Fellowship in New Zealand. For podcast hosts and their audiences, a conversation with West Stringfellow offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a seasoned innovator who has consistently driven technology innovation and transformative change across diverse industries.

In this conversation with Jeff Wetzler he reflects on his new book "Ask: Tapping into the hidden wisdom of people around you".  We talk about the approach that it involves and the five key steps that it involves.   But before that like all seeds podcast episodes we go back in time and find out about Jeff's origins and what has led him to write this book - because this show is not a moment in time or just talking about today, it is capturing a whole of life story and finding out why a person does what they do.   So we talk about his childhood, early years growing up and moving around, what he studied and his first jobs so as to get a more complete picture.  I met Jeff through the Edmund Hillary Fellowship which we are both part of, and this is one of about 25 interviews with Fellows I've talked to over the years.  If you enjoy this why not look at the back catalogue too as there are evergreen conversations with almost 400 other people who share their wisdom on diverse topics - www.theseeds.nz  has more.

Erica Austin is a social entrepreneur, community weaver, facilitator, photographer and Christchurch Ambassador (LinkedIn). She describes her self as a multi-potentialite, or someone with activities in many fields. As we will hear, in Erica's case, this is something of an understatement.I was first introduced to her as the Community Activator in the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, a community of 500+ innovators, entrepreneurs and investors committed to New Zealand as a basecamp for global impact. (I am an Edmund Hillary Fellow.)We have a very rich conversation, touching on many huge themes. One is culture and identity, especially in a place with strong indigenous and colonial heritages plus inward immigration. As her introduction (using the Maori tradition of Pepeha) makes clear, Erica was born in China, moved to Aotearoa New Zealand when she was young. We talk about Aotearoa New Zealand as both a bicultural and a multicultural nation: "acknowledging that, that Maori people are the first people who've arrived in this land, and then comes multiculturalism, to be able to then create a space for all people to thrive". How she is part of something she calls re-indigenisation, not decolonisation.Another theme is neurodiversity. Erica was diagnosed with ADHD when she was young, and really sees this as her superpower, which allows her to connect with other people, and people with places.One consequence is that Erica is involved in many things, and has organised her work according to the Sustainable Development Goals (or SDGs).Erica's priorities for the next three years are integrating indigenous practice and knowledge into our modern world, and growing the idea of a learning ecosystem, where people are not just learning in schools, not learning just in the organisation, but actually creating multiple different pathways for them to understand and learn to create better future, the future focus learning opportunity.We did this interview in November 2023, and I remember being energised for days afterwards. I've just re-listened and again have a buzz from Erica's energy, her ambition, her practices of connecting people, and her uses of her superpower.LinksFESTATe Pūtahi Centre for Architecture and City Making E.A.CurationAko Ōtautahi Learning City ChristchurchAlly Skills NZ Leadership Lab NZ Asia New Zealand Foundation Taonga -- treasureTangata Tiriti – Treaty PeopleTreaty of WaitangiMore on the SDG 0 story here.More notes hereTwitter: Powerful_TimesWebsite hub: here.Please do like and subscribe, to help others find the podcast.Thank you for listening! -- David

Five years ago, I reached out to Rod Oram to request a podcast interview. I didn't know him, nor he me. I didn't expect an affirmative answer from a man who I had often read, or listened to, on different media channels. However, if I knew a little about this gentle man I would have known the answer was always going to be yes. He was incredibly generous with his time; I was to learn. It was January 2019 when I first met him in Auckland to sit down for the recording, feeling very nervous and in awe of the legend that was Rod. That didn't last long as we launched into the interview, where I was struck by the depth of knowledge he had on any number of topics. We continued this every year since at the beginning of each year, referring to them as Rod's state of the nation address. They became less formal as I became more relaxed in his presence. The Edmund Hillary Fellowship events were also a place where we would meet at intervening occasions. On March 13th I sat down with Rod Oram at his home for the last time. It was always special to have his full attention, so thankfully I was always appreciative of these moments. What was so poignant with this interview was the ever-hopeful Rod was feeling frustrated with the major steps backwards in environmental government policies. At the end his shoulders were slumped, and I gave him a hug. I'm going to miss my annual pilgrimage to chat with him immensely. Here's my favourite quote from a previous podcast I did with Rod in relation to caring for the planet: “We won't do enough until we care enough, and we won't care enough until we rediscover our love of Nature”. At his memorial service I learnt a little more of his life. One of these was that he had a strong Christian belief, and so it was rather fitting the service was at the magnificent Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. Go well Rod Oram. I hope this podcast does you justice. - Ian (Harv) Harvey This podcast is brought to your ears with the support of

Join us on The Coaching Podcast as we have the pleasure of introducing Jolie Wills, a renowned creator of tools for coaches hailing from New Zealand. Emma Doyle's connection with Jolie was established through the AUS-DENVER hub, a vibrant community that unites Australians and New Zealanders in Colorado. Drawing on her expertise as a cognitive scientist and a global thought-leader in resiliency, leadership, and team effectiveness under pressure, Jolie takes center stage in this episode. With firsthand experience leading teams through incredibly challenging circumstances, including the aftermath of the devastating Christchurch Earthquakes in her hometown, Jolie imparts invaluable insights. Prepare to discover practical examples of having courageous conversations and gain a deeper understanding of prioritizing our own health and well-being in the future. Get ready for an enlightening conversation that will empower you both personally and professionally. Some of the highlights include; 3.01: Christchurch Earthquakes (2010 - 2015) 3.36: Worst coaching moment: The superhero curse (the feeling of drowning) with too many balls in the air. When you are feeling like this, how can you be of support to others? 5.18: Self-care - "Energy and time is finite" meaning that both energy and time are limited resources. This also means that we have to be very intentional to create the biggest impact. 6.12: Best coaching moment: By taking a break (giving herself permission) Jolie was able to re-set and role-model self-care for others to follow her lead. 9.07: Sliding Doors: Christchurch Earthquakes - supporting the psycho-social role around recovery for the people affected by the earthquakes. Living with a constant state of threat and uncertainty (15,000 aftershocks from 2010 - 2015) and helping people who were suffering room burnout. 14.28: What Makes a Great Coach? (Curiosity, Empathy, Courage) Curiosity - what you first see and what you first hear is often really clouded by your own judgments. Therefore, be a curious explorer instead! Empathy - people need to know that you care, they feel heard, and valued, and that you have their best interests at heart. Courage - to ask the circuit breaker questions so that they can have a fresh look at their situation (mirror questions). ED Qu's: "So what's the truth here?" "What are you not saying?" JW: Be mindful of your "Planned continuation bias." And take a temperature check. 18.39: What is your go-to question? JW (a recovering martyr): "Are you a martyr (no boundaries) or are you a professional (care deeply about the mission but you set your boundaries)?" 24.31: How did you come up with the name Hummingly? 27.16: What are the 'Doing Well' cards? The Doing Well deck supports the well-being of coaching clients and their teams. There are 5 themes to help you be intentional, and set a plan when you are under pressure to help with your self-care while still being able to perform at the same time. For example; 30.10: Theme: Connect - your social network is critical during tough times. Theme: Dam Good Decisions - Ask a series of questions to check your decision-making. 34.30: What is the workshop in a box? To help leaders support their people. Tip 1) Know where your people are at? "Where am I at? Because that is where I am leading others to!" Leaders need to acknowledge how hard it is to look after themselves. Tip 2) Having a crew - who are the perspective checkers? Wise heads? Truth tellers? Vulnerability buddies? Tip 3) Have a set of leadership questions (to re-set someone's compass) For example: "What is most important to you in your life and what do you need to do to protect it?"

Bill Kermode joins Purposely to share his story as inaugural CEO of the NEXT Foundation. His mission to give away a hundred million dollar fortune on behalf of a family committed to making a positive and lasting difference to the planet and people of New Zealand. NEXT is a privately funded charitable foundation which is relatively unique for New Zealand. Rather than being a long-lasting foundation, set up to exist forever using an endowment model, NEXT has a mandate to ‘spend down' $100 million over 10 years. The money is committed to environmental and educational projects that will benefit future generations of New Zealanders. Bill has led NEXT's investments as well as providing guidance to the previous philanthropic commitments made by Neal and Annette Plowman. 'They had an ambition for NEXT to leave a legacy of environmental and Educational Excellence for the benefit of future generations of New Zealanders. They wanted to show a way of giving that they hoped would be a model that some others would choose to follow'. The Plowmans made their fortune from a laundry business, founded in 1910 by George Plowman. They successfully grew the business and listed it on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, before privatising the company in 1986, and selling to US firm Alsco in 1998. Bill was appointed NEXT CEO in 2014 by the NEXT Board chaired by Chris Liddell, a successful businessman and advisor to the Plowmans. Bill spent the previous two decades as a founding Director of Direct Capital, New Zealand's most experienced private company investor, and Director of a number of private companies, including Ryman Healthcare, PF Olsen, NZ Pharmaceuticals, and EziBuy. We discuss Bills move from the investment sector to philanthropy running a charitable foundation and the differences between the two worlds. ‘The biggest difference is around evaluation and measurement, knowing whether you're contributing and making a difference. In the commercial and financial world, there are well established norms and ways of measuring success. However, in the ‘for purpose sector' it is not so clear and not so clearly defined.' 2024 will see the end of the ten-year giving term, with currently 80% of the $100 million committed to a number of initiatives and causes focused on the environment and education. We discuss what next for the Plowmans philanthropy and what next for Bill himself. ‘The Plowmans plan to continue their giving and the next iteration of the foundation will be focused specifically on the environment - although I will not lead this, instead I will focus my efforts on the development of a Centre of Strategic Philanthropy.' Bill and the NEXT team have had approaches from others wanting to learn from their journey and he describes how they have always tried to be supportive of others' giving.This has led Bill and his team to launch the Centre for Strategic Philanthropy aimed at complementing the work of Philanthropy New Zealand. Helping New Zealand individuals, organisations and families who ‘want to do their giving in a strategic or a business-like way'. ‘It's about bringing likeminded people together to explore how they can make a significant difference to the issues they are passionate about with the potential to collaborate or if not then learn from each other and experts.' In his spare time, Bill was also the Director of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship from 2016 until 2020, offering global social change-makers a path to New Zealand citizenship through New Zealand's Global Impact Visa. He is currently Chairman of the Palmerston North BHS Educational Foundation Trust, and a graduate of Massey and Oxford Universities. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-longbottom2/message

Rosalie Nelson is the CEO of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, whose mission is to "incubate solutions to global problems from Aotearoa New Zealand, and make a lasting positive impact on the world".

Tanner founded Counterpart to help small businesses navigate the ever-changing insurance landscape with innovative tools, proactive services, and leading coverage. He has deep expertise in scaling large, data-centric businesses after co-founding two successful ventures including the Malaysian arm of Lazada, which quickly became the largest e-commerce company in Southeast Asia and was purchased by Alibaba for $3.5bn in 2018. He subsequently co-founded Button, which has become the world's largest mobile-first affiliate platform, partnering with global brands like Amazon, Walmart, Booking.com, and Uber. In addition to his entrepreneurial endeavors, Tanner is active in mental health research, having started Openminded.org as a means of accelerating research, collaboration, education, and awareness for this critical societal issue. Tanner is a member of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, a New Zealand Government sponsored community of global problem solvers focused on making a lasting positive impact on the world. Highlights from the Show Counterpart initially started as HR tech, meant to create better corporate culture to drive down risk and drive up employee experience and engagement, but it was hard to get potential customers to act on this today They pivoted to insurance looking at ways they could reduce the risk of claims rather than just paying for them after they happen In learning about the space, they saw that the product itself needed to be rethought to be able to drive different behavior and improve underwriting, so they built an insurance product in addition to the risk mitigation tools they were developing Tanner comes from outside of insurance, which allows him to lead by asking questions, but also means he's made a point of building a strong insurance team around him because it is a complex and expertise-driven space This is part of why Markel and Aspen, their capacity providers, have signed on to back Counterpart's product Counterpart pairs outside data to better understand risk in more nuanced ways than the industry has been able to through applications, and iterates its rating model based on what they're actually seeing every 30 minutes This has allowed them to have best-in-class loss ratios despite focusing on the higher-frequency small end of the market Beyond underwriting differently, Counterpart's strategy focuses on interacting with the insured to make them a better risk There's self-selection in this approach, too, as insureds who choose an insurer like that are likely to be better risks Small businesses need the help, especially now, given that they've gone through COVID and all that means for employees, then facing supply chain and labor constraints Similar to the way data can help in underwriting, the same should be done in claims given the trends and data out there on claims and how you can use it to make better decisions and intervene differently Building Counterpart taught Tanner that the best product doesn't necessarily win in insurance because relationships matter, and no one has time in small business to scrutinize the product differences That means respecting and supporting how things have been done, and recognizing you need to give brokers what they need to make their work easier because they're stretched too thin today, so insurers need to make things easier on brokers, too This approach of better underwriting and making small businesses better risks should drive the cost of coverage down for everyone, increase the total addressable market, which is better for everyone Better value for insureds More insureds can afford coverage and see the benefit in buying it Easier for brokers to sell the product Better loss results for insurers This episode is brought to you by Pinpoint Predictive (pinpoint.ai) and The Future of Insurance thought leadership series (future-of-insurance.com) from Bryan Falchuk.

Sid is part of the founding team of Neighbourhoods, which is focussed on the role of reputation in an online world.  Before we talk about that initiative we dive into his past growing up in India, joining the banking system, abandoning that for several years including time at the Ghandi Ashram, thinking about the true meaning of wealth, finding that distributed ledger technology could be used to measure reputation and what Neighbourhoods is.  I think it has real potential and am a supporter of the Project and have invested a small amount too.  This is the longest of the interviews recorded because we talked about so many different topics - if you enjoy this style then make sure to check out one of the others in the back catalogue at www.theseeds.nz because there are almost 300 of them.   Website: Neighbourhoods | A design philosophy for Holochain hApps.

In this episode, I had a chat with Alina Siegfried, a New Zealand-based storyteller, narrative strategist, systems change advocate, TEDx speaker, and award-winning spoken word artist whose stage name is Ali Jacs. Alina's journey in storytelling and communications has taken her through environmental advocacy, political issues campaigning, social enterprise, crowdfunding, arts, and community development. In her role as the founding communications lead of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, she's helped bring together a global community of 500 world-leading entrepreneurs, investors, artists, and system change leaders to develop transformative solutions to pressing global challenges.  Her book, A Future Untold: The Power of Story to Transform the World and Ourselves, will be published at the end of this month (October 2021), and is centered around Alina's own 15-year journey through storytelling and creating narratives for systems change. With the current widespread awareness that the systems upon which we rely on are harming us and our planet, there's a great need to come up with radical solutions that we can use to shift those systems. Alina will share some solutions with us and tell us how we can use storytelling to challenge and trigger ourselves to seek out discomfort in order to find new ways of being and acting. Stay tuned for more of our inspiring conversation.

We are approaching a year spent selling in pandemic conditions. The virus has taken much from us and forced us to change the ways in which we live and work. In the beginning we thought we could muddle through for a few weeks. Those weeks stretched to months and months. But our initial fears have given way to resilience. We’ve found we can continue operations and sell to customers using technology platforms. But at what cost? Are the benefits of technology robbing us of closer contact in our business relations? Could we do better in connecting with each other? ----more---- This Asher Sales Sense Podcast – “Connecting Personally Through Technology to Sell Authentically” - features host Kyla O’Connell with guest Frederique Irwin, Founder and CEO of HER CORNER Inc., a Washington DC-based company offering business peer groups for women business owners committed to business growth. When she’s not managing the business operations of Her Corner, you can find Fred either running accelerator programs or working one-on-one with women to help them scale their businesses. She is one of 500 high impact global entrepreneurs selected for the Edmund Hillary Fellowship program working globally to support others in business endeavors. Fred also has taught entrepreneurship, business management, and organizational behavior at the Kogod School of Business of American University. How has the global pandemic changed selling approaches, processes, places, and locations? What adjustments have been made? What are the benefits of greater reliance on technology in selling? How can we use technology to be more genuine and authentic? What will stay or go away after the pandemic? What will be hard to go back to? Listen in to hear the answers to these questions (and more) so you can be more authentic in your technology-enabled business transactions. Asher Sales Sense is hosted by John Asher and Kyla O’Connell of ASHER Strategies which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel.  ASHER Strategies is the sponsor of ASHER Sales Sense.     

Yoseph Ayele is an entrepreneur who, for almost seven years, has been building the Edmund Hillary Fellowship and the Global Impact Visa -- an immigration program and a fellowship community combined together to catalyze positive change from Aotearoa (New Zealand).Yoseph joins us to discuss how his own lousy experience as an aspiring legal immigrant to the United States galvanized a movement for systematic reform and established New Zealand as a base of operations for skilled ex-pats like him to change the world.SELECTED LINKS AND RESOURCESGlobal Impact Visa (GIVs) | Immigration New ZealandEdmund Hillary FellowshipYoseph Ayele | TwitterYoseph Ayele | LinkedInYoseph Ayele | MediumYoseph Ayele: The Way We Think About Immigration is Flawed | TEDxAuckland1983–1985 Famine in Ethiopia | WikipediaWelcome, Entrepreneurs | Harvard GazetteInflection8 Things to Consider When Collecting Stamps | ChubbA Mister Rogers Postage Stamp, and a Legacy That’s Anything But Make-Believe | The New York TimesAnts Build Complex Structures With a Few Simple Rules | Quanta MagazineLeading Change From The Edge Of The Map | Yoseph Ayele, Edmund Hillary FellowshipEnspiralSteve Jobs: "Death is Very Likely the Best Single Invention of Life.

[00:00]Where did Yoseph's journey as an entrepreneur begin, how did his dreams of living in the United States falter (in spite of being a Harvard graduate with a Silicon Valley job), and what made him set his sights on New Zealand as the home where he now hangs his hat? [02:25]How did young Yoseph's parents foster an environment for exploration and learning? [10:12]What inspired Yoseph's comparison of the value of diversity to the health of a thriving ecosystem? [12:16]How does Yoseph practically apply the principles of an ecosystem to a business (even when one of those principles might be what Steve Jobs called "life's change agent": death)? [15:37]What was Yoseph's point of entry when he decided upon New Zealand as the next chapter in his journey, and what convinced him that doing things the "number eight wire" way was better than the Silicon Valley approach with which he was already familiar? [19:49]Examples of what "number eight wire" looks like applied to the real world of New Zealand entrepreneurship. [22:58]Why does Yoseph believe New Zealand fosters such a strong spirit of scrappy resourcefulness? [25:19]Yoseph explains how his team's networking efforts expanded into what he refers to as ecosystem bridges -- bringing in new talent from overseas and recapturing talent from over a million expatriated New Zealanders. [27:15]How does Yoseph propose selling the upsides of immigration and diversity to communities that may be set in their ways and fearful of change -- even when that change is positive? [30:52]How did the Global Impact Visa go from idea to law in the breakneck policy pace of 12 months, and how did working with the New Zealand government differ from that of comparable bureaucracy in the United States? [34:03]Since the most innovative candidates for immigration don't always look impressive on paper, and aspirants who appear promising at first glance may only excel at filling out applications, what did Yoseph's team do to ensure quality control without falling into the checkboxes trap he'd encountered in the United States? [40:04]Yoseph points out that being an immigrant is one of the most entrepreneurial-spirited endeavors a human being can take on. How the success of the Global Impact Visa led to what became the community-building Edmund Hillary Fellowship. [42:59]How many applicants has EHF had in the past four years, and how many have been accepted? What are the markers that indicate a good fit during the selection process? [46:01]What fruits have formed after four years of labor, and what does Yoseph hope to see for EHF's next four years and beyond -- for its fellows and community? [48:59]How can EHF work to preserve the values that make New Zealand society so appealing and unique while simultaneously reaping the benefits of recruiting outside thinking? [51:58]Immigration as diplomacy: what the rest of the world can learn from these efforts. [55:11]Why does Yoseph believe New Zealand has been so successful in tackling COVID compared to how it's been handled virtually everywhere else? Will the country's tempered judgment and good fortune prevail when faced with future catastrophes? [58:56]Parting thoughts, and what listeners interested in emigrating to New Zealand can do to begin their own journey.

I interview a lot of people but seldom get the mic turned the other way round, so this wide ranging chat with Ian Harvey from Collective Intelligence for his podcast "Stuff that Matters Now" was a lot of fun.  Harv was a guest on Seeds in 2019 and came to a session I did on how to create a podcast - so he has the same gear as me!  It was fun to appear on his show for his episode 34 and I encourage you to check out his other conversations too as he is producing some high quality interviews with some amazing people.  In this episode we talk about my background and origins, growing up in New Zealand, becoming a lawyer, moving to purpose driven work, the changing paradigms of thinking around impact as well as the Edmund Hillary Fellowship we both just joined.   Stuff that Matters Now is in podcast apps or click here: https://www.collectiveintelligence.co.nz/stuff-that-matters-now/ Collective Intelligence: https://www.collectiveintelligence.co.nz Description by Harv of the episode: "There are many facets to Kiwi-raised American, Steven Moe. Despite interviewing several hundred people for his own impact-inspired weekly podcast, Seeds, he’s not shared much of his own story and journey with his listeners. So here it is! Fellow EHF fellow Ian Harvey asks the question ‘Who is Steven Moe?’ and riffs with him about his transition to living a purpose-led impactful life. We credit Steven for inspiring us to embark upon the ‘Stuff that Matters Now’ podcast journey and love the serendipity of Harv interviewing Steven in the same room in Christchurch that Steven interviewed Harv in, back in 2019."

 What does a futurist do? Does it include dealing with jetpacks? Or is it more about helping organisations to become more resilient? Cool as jetpacks might be, our Episode 8 guest, Roger Dennis covers no less interesting topics: how he helped to prepare New Zealand’s businesses and health care system for the pandemic and why we should be collecting as much real-time data about cities as possible.Bio:Roger Dennis’s website says that “[he] consults on the continuum between future thinking, strategy and innovation to introduce opportunities to organisations to create advantage.”Roger has worked with leading organisations like Shell, the Singapore PM’s office, Fonterra (New Zealand’s diary industry cooperative), one of New Zealand’s largest health providers and Z Energy, the country’s leading fuel retailer.In 2010 he returned to Christchurch, New Zealand, to enjoy a quiet life, away from the risks and hassles of the big city – just few months before the catastrophic earthquake which destroyed much of the city centre and killed 185 people.In the aftermath of the earthquake, he founded Sensing City, a pioneering project to create real time data flows about city environments, using Christchurch as a model.  In 2015 he was co-author of report analysing the supply chain impact of a pandemic on New Zealand. And in early 2020 Roger was appointed by Ministers to the Digital Council of New Zealand Aotearoa.In 2018, Roger was awarded an Edmund Hillary fellowship a programme that provides exceptional entrepreneurs, investors and startup teams with a platform to incubate global impact ventures from Aotearoa New Zealand. Early in his career, Roger worked at egg – an early UK internet bank – figuring out things like online gaming and how to deploy financial services on smart-phones. He has degrees in psychology and zoology.  Links: Roger Dennis’s websitehttp://www.rogerdennis.com/ Roger Dennis on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rogerdennis/ Lessons From the West African Ebola Outbreak in Relation to New Zealand's Supply Chain Resilience (2015)https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... Sensing City launch announcementhttps://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/c... Sensing City post-mortem: Smart cities encounter roadblockshttps://www.newsroom.co.nz/we-built-s... Roger Dennis’s Edmund Hillary Fellowship pagehttps://stories.ehf.org/ehf-fellow-ro... Future Agendawww.futureagenda.orgAbout Cleaning UpOnce a week Michael Liebreich has a conversation (and a drink) with a leader in clean energy, mobility, climate finance or sustainable development.Each episode covers the technical ground on some aspect of the low-carbon transition – but it also delves into the nature of leadership in the climate transition: whether to be optimistic or pessimistic; how to communicate in order to inspire change; personal credos; and so on.And it should be fun – most of the guests are Michael’s friends.Follow Cleaning Up on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MLCleaningUpLinks to other Podcast Platforms: https://www.cleaningup.live/

Marc allowed the space for Corina, the host, to share some of her stories and experiences with applied anthropology. At the center of this dialogue is Aotearoa: a place where Corina started practicing applied anthropology and where Marc (at the time of this recording) headed there for a rapid ethnographic research project to learn from creative New Zealanders.Throughout this episode we explore Marc's blend of policy, tech, design and data, what makes New Zealand a unique place to practice applied anthropology, and feedback loops for a global collective of thoughtful practitioners.Mentioned in the Podcast:“Respond to dissatisfaction with creativity:” Insights from innovative New Zealanders: https://medium.com/@marc.k.hebert/respond-to-dissatisfaction-with-creativity-insights-from-innovative-new-zealanders-a76d1984f8baEdmund Hillary Fellowship (EHF), https://www.ehf.org/Code for America, https://www.codeforamerica.org/Connect with Marc:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-hebert-0662bb1/Twitter: https://twitter.com/anthromarc?lang=en
