Podcasts about global citizens

What if your leadership skills were truly borderless? Could you step into any culture, any team, anywhere in the world—and still thrive? That's the challenge and opportunity of developing a Global Citizen mindset, one of the most crucial traits for leaders today. In today's Leadership Spark, I share why the Global Citizen mindset is a non-negotiable skill for modern leaders. I tell the story of a remarkable CEO who defied cultural limitations in Morocco, built her career across multiple countries, and earned the nickname “Water Lady” for brokering a major deal between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. We explore how leading in different cultures teaches unique lessons—like patience in Japan or entrepreneurship in the U.S.—and why cultural blind spots, such as Disney's failed “Euro Disney” launch, can sink even the strongest brands. You can't lead a world-sized organization without a world-sized mindset. Check out what it means to build this mindset in this episode.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has secured another major global headline by being announced as a principal headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, set for September 27 in Central Park, New York. This is not just another gig—she'll be sharing the bill with megastars like The Weeknd, Tyla, Ayra Starr, and Mariah the Scientist, while Hugh Jackman returns for his eleventh year as host. According to the official Global Citizen campaign, this year's focus includes providing energy access to a million people across Africa, mobilizing 200 million dollars to safeguard 30 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest, and delivering quality education, in partnership with FIFA, to 30,000 children globally. Shakira spoke about her motivation for joining the festival, saying she's “honored to headline the incredible Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this September… Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.” Press from CBS News New York and TimeOut New York has echoed how significant this platform is, especially given its intersection of entertainment and urgent global activism. Tickets are once again technically free, but hopeful attendees have to participate in advocacy actions to gain entry.This Central Park appearance is uniquely timed as a standout pause from her ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which continues to make waves across the U.S. and will soon hit Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Ecuador. Her recent stadium show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, announced and promoted heavily by the venue, reaffirmed her enduring arena-filling appeal. On social media, Shakira's engagement shows no signs of slowing. An Instagram video surfaced this week where Shakira appears recharging in the sun, teasing fans to “expect more for your hair,” fueling speculation about a possible new beauty or personal care collaboration, though details remain unconfirmed.Looking at recent trending headlines, the festival announcement has dominated reputable outlets like CBS, TimeOut, and Global Citizen's own platform, elevating Shakira's current activities to the level of biographical significance—this is a global impact moment, not just a musical milestone. No major controversies or negative news tied to Shakira herself have broken through in the last few days. While less substantial, Shakira also became an unexpected talking point in viral pop culture when another Shakira—Love Island UK's Shakira Khan—sparked debate for her fame-related comments, but there is no relation to the artist, and confusion seems limited to fleeting social media buzz. At this pace, Shakira's 2025 looks not just busy, but legacy-defining.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

ITSPmagazine Weekly Update | From Black Hat to Black Sabbath / Ozzy: AI Agents and Guitars (again!) + Entry Level Cybersecurity Jobs, Robots Evolution, and the Weekly Recap You Didn't Expect  -  On Marco & Sean's Random & Unscripted Podcast  __________________Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin are back with another random and unscripted weekly recap—from pre-Black Hat buzz and AI agents to vintage wood guitars, talent gaps, and Glen Miller debates. This week's reflection hits tech, music, and philosophy in all the right ways. Tune in, ramble with us, and subscribe. __________________Full Blog Article This week's recap was a ride.Sean and I kicked things off with the big news: we're officially consistent. Weekly recap number… I lost count. But we're doing it. We covered what ITSPmagazine's been working on, what we've been publishing, and where our minds are wandering lately (spoiler: everywhere).Black Hat USA 2025 is just around the corner, and we're deep into prep mode. I even bought a paper map. Why? I don't know. But we've got some great pre-event conversations already out—like our annual chat with Black Hat GM Steve Wylie, plus briefings with Dropzone AI (get ready for “agentic automation” to be the next big buzzword) and Akamai (yes, bots and APIs again, but with a solid strategy twist).We also talked about a fantastic episode Sean did on resonance and reinvention—featuring Cindy, a luthier in NYC who builds custom guitars using century-old beams from historic buildings. The pickups even use the old nails. Music and wood with a past life. It's beautiful stuff.Speaking of stories, I officially closed down the Storytelling podcast. But don't worry—I'm still telling stories. I've just shifted focus to “Redefining Society and Technology,” my newsletter and podcast series where I explore how humans and tech evolve together. This week's edition tackled the merging of humans and machines as a new species. Isaac Asimov meets Andy Clark.We also got a bit philosophical about AI and jobs. If machines take over the “easy” roles, where do humans begin? Are we cutting off our own training paths?Sean's episode with John Solomon dug into the cybersecurity hiring crisis—challenging the idea that we have a “talent gap.” The real issue? We're not hiring or nurturing people properly.Oh, and I finally released my long-overdue interview with Michael Sheldrick from Global Citizen. Music. Social impact. Doing good. It's all there. I'm honored to support even a small piece of what he's building.And yes… Ozzy. RIP. Music never dies.So if you're into random reflections with meaning, tech with humanity, and stories that don't always follow the rules—subscribe, share, and join the ride.See you in Vegas. Or the future. Or somewhere in between.________________ KeywordsBlack Hat USA 2025, ITSPmagazine recap, Marco Ciappelli, Sean Martin, cybersecurity podcast, AI in cybersecurity, agentic automation, Dropzone AI, Akamai APIs, HITRUST security, Global Citizen, Michael Sheldrick, storytelling podcast, Redefining Society, Andy Clark, Isaac Asimov, human-machine evolution, cybersecurity talent gap, custom guitar NYC, Ozzy tributeHosts links:

From social media activism to systemic change, this conversation explores how creativity and innovation can fuel a global movement for good.⸻ Article ⸻ Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that keep unfolding — and Michael Sheldrick's journey is exactly that. When we first spoke, Global Citizen had just (almost) released their book From Ideas to Impact. This time, I invited Michael back on Redefining Society and Technology because his story didn't stop at the last chapter.From a high school student in Western Australia who doubted his own potential, to co-founding one of the most influential global advocacy movements — Michael's path is a testament to what belief and purpose can spark. And when purpose is paired with music, technology, and strategic activism? That's where the real magic happens.In this episode, we dig into how Global Citizen took the power of pop culture and built a model for global change. Picture this: a concert ticket you don't buy, but earn by taking action. Signing petitions, tweeting for change, amplifying causes — that's the currency. It's simple, smart, and deeply human.Michael shared how artists like John Legend and Coldplay joined their mission not just to play music, but to move policy. And they did — unlocking over $40 billion in commitments, impacting a billion lives. That's not just influence. That's impact.We also talked about the role of technology. AI, translation tools, Salesforce dashboards, even Substack — they're not just part of the story, they're the infrastructure. From grant-writing to movement-building, Global Citizen's success is proof that the right tools in the right hands can scale change fast.Most of all, I loved hearing how digital actions — even small ones — ripple out globally. A girl in Shanghai watching a livestream. A father in Utah supporting his daughters' activism. The digital isn't just real — it's redefining what real means.As we wrapped, Michael teased a new bonus chapter he's releasing, The Innovator. Naturally, I asked him back when it drops. Because this conversation isn't just about what's been done — it's about what comes next.So if you're wondering where to start, just remember Eleanor Roosevelt's quote Michael brought back:“The way to begin is to begin.”Download the app. Take one action. The world is listening.Cheers,Marco⸻ Keywords ⸻ Society and Technology, AI ethics, generative AI, tech innovation, digital transformation, tech, technology, Global Citizen, Michael Sheldrick, ending poverty, pop culture activism, technology for good, social impact, digital advocacy, Redefining Society, AI in nonprofits, youth engagement, music and change, activism app, social movements, John Legend, sustainable development, global action, climate change, eradicating polio, tech for humanity, podcast on technology__________________ Enjoy.

On this week's episode I am in Conversation with Anele Maphanga who is a PR maven. This episode highlights the versatility of the careers one can pursue with a law degree. After graduating with an LLB from the University of the Witwatersrand, Anele decided to pivot into communications, which was a long-life dream! Her work experience includes working for leading agencies and at FMCG giants such as Procter & Gamble and Unilever which has seen her lead award-winning campaigns recognized at the EFFIES, MMA Smarties, Loeries and SABRE Awards - and has been featured on the Global Citizen stage in New York for her #BloodSisters campaign for the Always sanitary pad brand.I am enamored by how Anele places God at the centre of her personal and professional life, and also how she doesn't just deliver messages on behalf of brands but truly uses her talent to tell a story based on truth and accuracy. Anele is a PR Maven with a gift for story-telling and building relationships. An avid read and writer, she has co-authored two books and has several articles under her belt across various publications in South Africa which include Sunday Times, Bizcommunity, Daily Maverick. She is currently the PR Lead for Beauty, Wellbeing and Personal Care for Unilever South Africa managing top brands such as Vaseline, Dove, Shield, Lifebuoy, Axe and many more leading brand communications and ground-breaking PR campaigns.I hope you enjoy learning from Anele as much as I did.

Detroit's a special city to the world, from Motown, to motors, to techno, and more. But what about the city of today and tomorrow? What about making sure those making ideas happen in Detroit have the support and resources they need to go to the next level, sustainably?  I had a compelling conversation with Simon Moss, the co-founder of Global Citizen. The Global Citizen Now conference is coming to town next week at Hudson's Detroit, bringing together  leaders from business, government, media, philanthropy, nonprofits, and culture to explore what it takes to build inclusive, sustainable cities.

Greetings from East Africa Glocal Citizens! Well, kind of…this conversation was recorded last weekend from Nairobi on the eve of Father's Day and a day after the opening of my guest, Michael Soi's current group exhibition, The Print Press (https://web.facebook.com/michael.soi.7/posts/the-print-press-is-an-exhibit-of-woodcut-prints-by-various-nairobi-based-artist-/10162204021212545/?_rdc=1&_rdr), an exhibit of woodcut prints by various Nairobi based artist at the Alliance Française de Nairobi 13th - 29th of June. I met Michael in his studio at The Go Down Art Centre (https://thegodown.org) when I first visited Kenya in February and after an inspired conversation I wanted to be sure to share his story here. As you'll hear, he has been working in Nairobi since 1995 after completion of his fine art and art history studies. His distinctive work is inspired by contemporary life in Nairobi providing a photographic diary of Nairobi. It is also a satirical commentary of social, economic and political trends. His work explores relationships – intergenerational, interracial or generally what he calls the economics of love, commercial sex work and popular culture within the context of globalization and consumerism. A wonderful aspect of Michael's visual storytelling craft is that he's figured out the hacks that make his art accessible on many levels from the curious observer to the serious collector.

A hotel for Thatcher's fallen soldiers in the Falkland Islands. A hospital for Rikers inmates. A home for workers in the offshore fossil fuel industry. These are just a few of the past lives of “Jascon 27” – a Scandinavian ship that is the subject of writer Ian Kumekawa's new book, Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Barge. The Vessel is, of course, a ship that transports people and goods. But, as journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian notes, and Kumekawa's book reveals, it is also a bellwether of political movements and economic shifts, and a symbol of “the whims and desires” of corporations, nations, and individuals alike. Abrahamian wrote about Empty Vessel in the latest issue of The Nation. She's an independent journalist who writes about the cracks within nation-states worldwide. She is also a former editor at The Nation and Al Jazeera America, and author of The Cosmoplites: The Coming of the Global Citizen and The Hidden Globe.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ten years ago, Pearl Jam headlined a festival called the Global Citizen's Festival in Central Park where the mission was to raise funding in order to end world poverty. They were joined by the likes of Beyonce, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Sting and others who wanted to get this message across. It was their only US show in 2015 and was broadcast on network TV, something that Pearl Jam hasn't had a lot of opportunities to do in their history. The 12-song set certainly has it's highlights. For one time one time only, Beyonce got to share the stage with Eddie for a performance of Redemption Song. It's not something that's gone over well across the community over the years, but we'll give it it's due and discuss the connection the two of them were able to make on stage together. The other big moment from this show is Ed getting to tell the origin story of Unthought Known, having wrote it in a hotel that overlooked Central Park. We'll also talk about Big Bird, pirate rabbis, dating origin stories and why Bill Nye should probably stay away from rock 'n' roll stages. We invite our Patron, Richard Green, on to talk about his personal experience at this show, and if you stay tuned until the end you'll hear a eulogy for a loved one who left us too soon.

The Global Citizen Podcast recently featured a look at the work behind Insight Myanmar and Better Burma, which we bring you here as a bonus episode.

In the first episode of the Leadership Insights I Wish I Had Known at the Start series, Julia speaks with Aramide Kayode, a 24-year-old educator and founder of a free school in Nigeria. Aramide shares the eight lessons she's learned about leading, starting with the power of believing in people before they believe in themselves. From listening fiercely and celebrating growth, to standing by your mission and helping others find themselves in their work, her insights are grounded, simple, and deeply human. She also speaks about leading in resource-limited settings, where love, safety, and dignity are often as essential as strategy. Her leadership is deeply shaped by the reality of her students' lives and her commitment to making a tangible difference. Listen to this episode to discover crucial insights on leadership - the kind that are rarely found in textbooks but often learned the hard way through lived experience. About the Guest: Aramide Kayode is an education advocate and social entrepreneur committed to transforming the lives of children in low-income communities. She is the Founder and Executive Director of Talent Mine Academy, a free school in Nigeria providing 12 years of high-quality education to underserved children.

A graduate of Harvard Graduate School of Education and Covenant University, Aramide currently serves as a Youth Representative at UNESCO and sits on the Youth Advisory Board at RIVET. Her work has been featured by Global Citizen, Malala Fund, Harvard Magazine, and more.

As Trump's tariff policies trigger economic uncertainty, consumer confidence is dropping. With those new tariffs rattling global markets, we're seeing something remarkable: Americans consuming less while becoming more engaged as citizens. This shift—from shopping mall to town hall, from consumer mindset to civic responsibility—creates an opening for environmental progress.Throughout most of human history, people identified primarily as members of communities—families, tribes, villages, and nations. Post-1950, we became ultra-consumers. As climate upheaval approaches, our latest episode argues that our survival depends on reclaiming our cooperative nature.
