Shipbreaking Updated: The Most Dangerous Job in the World In mid 2024, students in Bangladesh organized mass protests and brought down the repressive government of Sheikh Hasana. The country is now under a caretaker government of Muhammed Yunus, a Nobel Laureate who is attempting reforms. Months before this Monsoon Revolution, we told you about shipbreaking, the waste management of industrial ships sent to Bangladesh that has been dubbed “the most dangerous job in the world.” Guest Rizwana Hasan was then the country's only environmental lawyer and fierce advocate against the shipbreaking industry. Today, she is the new government's Adviser for Environment, Forest and Climate Change. What has changed for shipbreakers under this new government. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele revisits last year's episode and catches up with Human Rights Watch researcher Julia Bleckner to understand this new moment in Bangladesh, and how it will impact shipbreaking.

Named three times to FORTUNE's list of the most influential women leaders in business, Lois Quam joined Pathfinder in 2017 as CEO. Pathfinder's vision is a world where everyone has access to contraception, where there are zero new HIV infections, where no woman dies from preventable pregnancy-related complications, and where everyone leads a healthy sexual and reproductive life. Prior to leading Pathfinder, Lois served as CEO of The Nature Conservancy and was selected by President Obama to head his signature Global Health Initiative at the Department of State which provided more than $8 billion annually to help solve major health challenges facing millions of individuals across 80 countries. Reporting directly to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Lois advanced a comprehensive strategy to increase US global health diplomacy, created a $200 million public-private partnership, and introduced integrated systems approaches for global health problems. Prior to that, Lois was the founding CEO of Ovations, a division of the FORTUNE 50 global corporation UnitedHealth Group.   In this episode we discuss: The importance of supporting change from inside a community The incredible potential of women to impact our collective future The power of authentic stories to build empathy and action   Key Takeaways: The statistics I shared are overwhelming. Like 12 millions girls under the age of 18 being married every single year, or that pregnancy complications are the leading cause of death for 15-19 year olds in the world's poorest nations, killing 300K women annually. These statistics are so massive it's hard to compute, which can cause our brains to click off. I really appreciate the way Lois is able to ground these statistics in very personal stories. She's able to show the humanity behind the numbers, the personal impact behind the power of reproductive rights, and ultimately the personal justice and equity work that Pathfinder does in a relatable way for every woman (and man) globally. This isn't someone else's problem to deal with, it's our collective responsibility. Reproductive health connects all of us. There is only one human doorway onto Earth, which is through a uterus. Reproductive health is a timeless and universal part of the human experience. Whether you're male, female, or non-binary. Whether like Lois you have children, you want to have them in your future, or like me, you've chosen not to have them at all. Reproductive health is essential for each one of those desires. One of the blessings of the times we live in, is having autonomy over when and if to have children. Unfortunately, 45% of women globally aren't able to make their own reproductive health decisions. It's time for that to change. After all, there is no bigger impact on your life than creating a child (for both the parents and the child). The ability to enter that decision with intention is imperative for the health of families, communities, and society. One theme throughout the conversation was the power of community. The power of leaders in a community to change norms and taboos. The power of peer-to-peer groups to support each other while navigating shared experiences and processing past experiences. And the power of mentors to share what they've learned, so the same hardships aren't unnecessarily repeated and the path is easier for the next generation. No matter who you are, or where you live, your experience matters. Share it generously with others. Share your perspective, and the lessons you've learned along the way. Lean in with curiosity as others share a piece of themselves with you.     References: Connect with Lois on LinkedIn Pathfinder International US Supreme Court Opinion, Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization Gates Foundation President Obama's statement on the Global Health Initiative Children's Defense Fund   Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

From the jungles of Panama and Honduras, to fighter jets in the Navy, to decoding the genome of one of the world's most dangerous pathogens, to leading a next-generation vaccine program, to tracking chimpanzees with Jane Goodall, to creating one of the world's most creatively awarded health campaigns, there isn't much Dan Carucci hasn't seen or done.   Dan's credentials and experience are unlike those of any other leader in our network. He's a physician and molecular biologist with over 30 years of experience in cutting-edge science. As a research physician with the US Navy, he led ground-breaking programs in genomics and proteomics, and next-generation vaccine development against malaria. After retiring from the Navy with the rank of Captain after 20 years active service, he was appointed as the first Director of the Grand Challenges in Global Health Initiative, a $200 million program for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As Vice President of Global Health at the United Nations Foundation, Dr. Carucci served on the board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.  He has published more than 80 peer reviewed papers in high impact journals such as Nature and Science, and holds two U.S. patents for vaccine technologies.  His professional credentials are well-known…his personal story and journey has remained hidden until now. Listen to this fascinating discussion between Dan and Harjot in this episode of “Spontaneously Candid”.

For years Aubrey Taylor fought her body as she struggled to feel what she knew was healthy and normal. From inflammation and gut dysfunction, to anxiety and depression, to headaches and stomaches, Aubrey went from doctor after doctor not getting any answers. As she struggled to find a solution, Aubrey took matters into her own hands and started becoming an expert on her own mind, body, and soul. She turned to more natural forms of healing and discovered mindset healing. As Aubrey learned more about how nutrition and stress affect the connection and efficiency of mind, body and soul, she also learned how having a growth mindset is really at the forefront of all healing. In fact, she says it's 80% of the healing process. In today's episode of Courtney: Beyond the Cake, Aubrey takes us through her journey of learning, growing, and healing, and how she's using her own experience to help others. A trained mindset healer and wellness coach, Aubrey shares with us tools for changing the negative narratives stuck in our subconscious - that script that tell us we're not worthy of healing - and how we can rewrite that narrative to conquer our subconscious and forge a path of resiliency and growth.

The stories that inspired the creation of many of the businesses that we work with are pretty amazing, and we think the stories of Oculo and its founder and CEO, Dr Kate Taylor, are right up there with the best of them.Kate trained as a surgeon but discovered she had an allergy to surgical gloves and went to work at McKinseys where she founded the Global Health Initiative through the World Economic Forum. She eventually found herself having a conversation with a Professor of Ophthalmology, wondering how their profession could do such a good job at using technology for diagnoses and management, but still rely upon letters and faxes for correspondence.Today Oculo is a Melbourne-based startup that is having a positive impact on improving patient outcomes, both locally and internationally. We love the energy that Kate brings to her organisation and the vision she has for creating positive change.To keep up to date with what is happening with Cogent, including when new episodes of this podcast are released, you can subscribe to our blog at cogent.co/blog.

By the time they start companies, most entrepreneurs have a clear vision for their product: what it will look like, who will use it, and it will fit in the market. But for some startups, that picture is less clear—and it is not because they lack focus. Instead, they have their sights set beyond the horizon—to markets that do not yet exist, to technologies that are still in a nascent stage, or to products that may need years of development and testing before they hit the market. Given these longer timelines, what do young companies do to stay afloat while perfecting their products? This month, we hear how Kellogg School professor and entrepreneur Kara Palamountain's Global Health Initiative and entrepreneur Jesse Chang's company, MDAR Technologies, have gone about setting goals to bring their products to market.

Bilal Jawed '17 talks of his time at Wabash, how studying abroad has influenced his education, and how the Global Health Initiative impacts him. He recently completed a three-month intership in Uganda as a medical researcher and care provider. (Episode 69)

According to UNAIDS, 33.4 million people are living with HIV worldwide, and approximately 2.7 million new infections occurred in 2008. For every two people who start treatment, five more are infected. Undoubtedly, this global epidemic requires a comprehensive, multisectoral approach that expands access to prevention, care, and treatment.America is leading the fight against global HIV/AIDS through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) – the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease internationally in history. The human impact of America’s investments in partner nations’ efforts is profound. Through PEPFAR, the United States has directly supported life-saving antiretroviral treatment for over 2.4 million people, and care for more than 11 million people with care and support programs, including more than 4 million orphans and vulnerable children. PEPFAR’s efforts around prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs have allowed nearly 340,000 babies of HIV-positive mothers to be born HIV-free. PEPFAR is the cornerstone and largest component of the President’s Global Health Initiative, which supports partner countries in improving health outcomes through strengthened health systems. Responsible for overseeing US-sponsored programs to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic worldwide, Ambassador Eric Goosby joins the Council to discuss the Obama Administration’s commitment to the fight against global AIDS. Ambassador Goosby has over 25 years of experience with HIV/AIDS, ranging from his early years treating patients at San Francisco General Hospital when AIDS first emerged, to engagement at the highest level of policy leadership.
