The case for climate action is often presented in terms of facts and data: detailing scientific evidence and financial risk. But is it time to explore different ways to communicate the message; to try an approach that focuses more on human stories and emotions? In this episode of the Sustainability Matters podcast, Bruno Sarda is joined by two colleagues from EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS): Managing Director Karima Zedan at Ernst & Young LLP and the Gareth Jenkins, EY Global CCaSS Head of Creative at Ernst & Young LLP, to discuss ways to reframe the sustainability narrative. Behavior change is not happening fast enough to meet climate change realities. The guests suggest that engaging the hearts as well as the minds of businesses, and bringing to life the impact on people, culture and society, is a more compelling narrative. Gareth points out that people, whether at home or the boardroom, respond to stories instinctively, and can be challenged and inspired by them. The guests discuss the importance of engaging with different audiences, from the C-suite to investors and employees. Karima emphasizes how sustainability initiatives may have a positive impact not only on the company and the brand but also on the employees and wider community. Gareth then gives some fascinating insight into the innovative EY Four Futures experience that was first presented at COP28 — an immersive installation that explores different outcomes from four potential future scenarios. Through the power of hearing each of the four stories, Four Futures can inspire joint action today. © 2024 Ernst & Young LLP

On today's episode, we have the part 2 of Mark Costes' presentation at the Dental Success Summit 2024 titled "Core Drivers of a World-Class Organization," where he continues to provide actionable strategies for dental practice success. He introduces a set of frameworks, honed from years of experience and interaction with a multitude of dental professionals, that aim to address common challenges in dental practice ownership. These frameworks revolve around six main pillars which are foundational principles, operational systemization, lifetime patient experience, new patient acquisition, human resources, overhead, and cash flow control. Mark emphasizes the importance of "The Four Futures" — mind, meaning, muscle, and money — which are essential for holistic success encompassing personal well-being, meaningful relationships, and financial health. He advocates for the integration of personal integrity, self-awareness, discipline, grit, passion, and empathy into one's professional ethos. A highlight of his talk is the introduction of the DSI's black belt coaches, who exemplify the success one can achieve through rigorous application of the DSI principles, with each having impressive profit margins and operational efficiencies. Mark also tackles the 'success tax', explaining that with growth comes more complex and challenging problems, a natural progression as businesses expand. He outlines the DSI belt classification, which helps in measuring the operational maturity of practices from white belt to black belt levels. To cap off his presentation, Mark gives a detailed case study of a DSI member, Dr. R., whose practice transformed from a struggling setup to a highly profitable model through strategic changes in systemization, patient experience, and leadership, among other areas. This transformation underscores the significant impact of structured mentorship and operational discipline in achieving business success in dentistry.

The young guns return with a recap of the first two rounds of March Madness. Host Noah Bieniek (@Seventy7NB) and co-host Nick Familant (@CBBNick) discuss the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 by picking every game against the spread. They then predict their Elite 8, and Final Fours. Along the way the boys drop some WynnBET March Madness odds on futures that interest them along the way. The four teams remaining in the West Region are Gonzaga, Duke, Texas Tech, and Arkansas. If the Bulldogs can edge the Razorbacks, does Chet Holmgren and Drew Timme lead them to a win in a rematch against either Paolo Banchero and the Blue Devils or Mark Adams' Red Raiders? Arizona, Villanova, Houston, and Michigan are still dancing in the South Region. To Noah this seems like the most competitive region. Can Bennedict Mathurin and the Wildcats escape? Does Collin Gillespie lead Nova to New Orleans? Can Kelvin Sampson get the Cougars to their second straight Final Four. Hunter Dickinson looks to be on a mission, can he and the Wolverines pull off what was unthinkable in January? Saint Peter's is this year's cinderella after conquering the state of Kentucky. In front of their path to the Final Four stands Purdue. The Boilermakers have an overrated coach, Matt Painter, that has an underrated roster led by NBA Draft Lottery Pick Jaden Ivey, what will happen? The other two teams that will play in Philadelphia are Armando Bacot's Tar Heels squad, and Johnny Juzang's UCLA bunch that is looking to make back to back Final Four appearances. The Midwest Region was viewed as the weakest. Although the boys didn't predict T.J. Otzelberger's Iowa State team, and Jim Larranaga's Miami small ball squad to be in the Sweet 16 but chaos was expected. Bill Self's #1 seeded Kansas Jayhawks are still alive and will play in Chicago against Ed Cooley's historical Providence Friars team. Nick and Noah discuss all of this and more in the Third episode of Brackets and Bets.

Welcome into one of our DSI Mastermind meetings. This is a clip from a clarity exercise we did on how we can control that mindfulness quadrant of the Four Futures. Specifically, we discuss the ramifications of chronic stress and tools for overcoming sympathetic nervous system stimulation.

On today's show: The Majority Report continues its memorial to Michael Brooks with his 2016 interview of Jacobin's Peter Frase (@pefrase) on his book Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, wherein Brooks and Frase consider the possibility of various post-capitalist futures where full automation has been achieved and the climate crisis either has or has not been solved. Using combinations of abundance/scarcity and equality/hierarchy, Frase lays out four wildly divergent paths, from the eternal peace of communism (abundance and equality), to the horrors of exterminism (scarcity and hierarchy). Trump refuses to agree to a peaceful transition of power, complains about mail-in ballots. Nancy Pelosi clapback: "He’s trying to have the constitution of the United States swallow Clorox." Lindsey Graham says there will be a peaceful transition after we seat 9th justice. On the fun half: Fauci is fed up with Rand Paul, who continues to insist NY did an exceptionally bad job and only has a low infection rate now because of herd immunity (neither claim is true). Dave Rubin fails to convince Bob Saget that 18% flat tax is good idea. Charlie Kirk waves poetic about how funny Trump is. Biden 2020 BLM "anarchy" graffiti. Footage of protestors pulling signs from U-Haul in Louisville; Laura Ingraham wants to know who paid for that U-Haul. Rep. Kevin McCarthy says protests against police brutality are organized on Fox and Friends. Plus, your calls and IMs! Become a member of the Majority Report at JoinTheMajorityReport.com!

In this fifteenth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss some of the issues on the horizon facing us in terms of the types and availability of work.  As further developments in robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, surveillance and logistics take place, the jobs and careers of many people are not just at risk, but likely to be phased out in the coming decades. They discuss a number of the scenarios projected as possible by different theorists , including Peter Frase (author of Four Futures) and the RSA Action and Research Center.  Some of these are utopian, some are dystopian, and some fit in between.  One of the central questions is how people who currently find a lot of their meaning in work, will manage that if work becomes no longer available in the modes they are accustomed to.They end the show by discussing a practice that listeners could engage in – developing a robust locus of meaning disconnected from work within one’s life. Peter Frase, “Four Futures” – https://jacobinmag.com/2011/12/four-futuresRSA Action and Research Center report: The Four Futures of Work – https://www.thersa.org/globalassets/pdfs/reports/rsa_four-futures-of-work.pdf Show Music is by Scott Tarulli – https://www.scotttarulli.com/

It’s Bumper Episode Time! We almost took a break from stupid news this episode… until the Telegraph plumbed new depths of unethical coverage for a broadsheet last week with the infamous ‘Brexit Mutineers’ front spread. The only thing they could have done further to intimidate these Tory MPs would be to paint crosshairs on their photos. Which was probably suggested in the editorial meeting (https://tinyurl.com/y7dy3xjs). While we’re diving into terrible coverage, we thought we’d draw attention to the Sun’s ongoing campaign to discredit the BBC as well (https://tinyurl.com/y8bzmrhx). Next up is a new segment called Right-Wing Watch - in which we assess a handful of recent publications or campaigns from right-wing think tanks, bloggers and other thought leaders with considerable influence over the policy and news agenda. With the budget coming up, and greater regulation being considered to tackle obesity and smoking, the Institute of Economic Affairs and Taxpayer’s Alliance have published reports calling for the curtailment of public health measures. You can find the papers in question at: http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/the_efficacy_of_council_public_health_spending https://iea.org.uk/publications/killjoys-a-critique-of-paternalism/ And the links between IEA and big tobacco are discussed here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jun/01/thinktanks-big-tobacco-funds-smoking And finally, we have the second half of our interview with Peter Frase - activist, lapsed academic, editor of Jacobin, and author of the book ‘Four Futures: Life After Capitalism’. Last week we discussed the rise of Jacobin as the voice of the American Left (https://tinyurl.com/y7kd4lw6). This week, we discuss ‘Four Futures’, a work of speculative fiction published a year ago this month. The book is a thought experiment envisioning worlds in which automation has reduced the need for human labour - but that may or may not be blighted by ecological crisis and class hierarchy. This forms four potential futures: Communism, Rentism, Socialism and Exterminism. ___ You know the drill: Follow us on FB – www.facebook.com/connectedanddisaffected/ Follow us on Twitter – twitter.com/CandDPodcast Leave us a review on ITunes – itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/connected-disaffected/

In this episode we talk about the book "Four Futures" by Peter Frase. The book shows four possible scenarios for life beyond Capitalism, some much more pleasant than others.   Links: Four Futures at Verso Books The 2011 Four Futures Essay General Intellect Unit on iTunes http://generalintellectunit.net https://twitter.com/giunitpod https://soundcloud.com/giunitpod General Intellect Unit on Facebook

In this fifth episode of The Future Is A Mixtape, Matt & Jesse discuss Peter Frase's diaphanous, compact and idea-drenched work of “Social Science Fiction,” which revs up & rides out to the sweet page-count of 150 pages, and contains far more ideas than most books three-times its size (ahem, The Circle). Frase's nonfiction book, Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, argues that there are actually four possible futures for humanity. The book accomplishes this task, ingeniously so, by threading together science fiction novels as well as marxist and futurist theories to see what aspects will appear in these futures, and how they might overlap or build off one another. The author doesn't simply re-shuffle the easy card-deck of the Star Trek versus The Matrix techno-binary--that Yanis Varoufakis and other activist-thinkers often cite as the only two techno-futures available. Instead, Peter Frase offers up four possible futures: Communism, Rentism, Socialism and Exterminism. And by coordinating these “ideal types” upon the axis points of equity vs hierarchy and abundance vs scarcity, the author illuminates what these four futures are likely to give us.   Mentioned on this episode:   How Captain Picard Likes His Nightcap: “Tea.

Four Futures This episode is the first in an occasional ‘book club’ series of podcasts we will be doing, in an around the topic of fully automated luxury communism. This episode’s book is Four Futures, by Peter Frase (which is part of the Jacobin series, from Verso Books). My guests on the show are Laura Horn and Phil Davis. Laura is a political economist working at the University of Roskilde, just outside of Copenhagen in Denmark. While her own research has mainly focused on dimensions of capitalist restructuring in the European Union, she has a strong political and personal interest in the nexus between political economy and science fiction. Four Futures is one of the texts she uses in her course ‘Repoliticising Capitalism: Contradictions, critique and alternatives’. Phil Davis is a molecular biologist working in the Biodefense sector in the Washington DC area. He's currently working towards a master's degree in Bioinformatics from University of Maryland University College. Four Futures sits at the intersection of his enthusiasm for both left-wing politics and futurology. His hobbies also include music.

In this episode Matt Wasserman reviews Peter Frase´s book ´Four Futures´. The book is an ambitious attempt to grapple with what climate change and automation mean for left politics. To read Matt´s full article go to http://ow.ly/FSKE30bAcm9

Drones and robots are or soon will be watching you, driving you, delivering to you, and maybe even trying to kill you. They’re loud, nosy, deadly, useful, safe, and dangerous. There are many different kinds of them and many different kinds of us. What should we do when, say, a man shoots a camera-bearing drone out of the sky above his property? Or when a creditor remotely shuts down your car when you’re behind on your payments but, unfortunately, while you’re on the highway?
