We learned recently on the podcast that knowledge is structured in consciousness. From this we can deduce that our understanding of Veda is dependent on our level of consciousness. It's not just our intellectual understanding though, it's also our ability to ‘perceive' Veda.One example of this is the perception of ‘Yugas,' epochs or periods of time that are referenced frequently in the various Vedic texts. When taken at face value, these Yugas appear to be linear periods, happening in a particular sequence, but, as Thom explains in this episode, there is more to the Yugas than meets the eye…NB - At the conclusion of the episode you will find mention of Thom's popular course, Exploring the Veda - You can find teachers facilitating this course around the world at this link - https://thomknoles.com/vedic-meditation-teacher-directory/. [00:00:56] What are the Yugas?[00:03:21] Veda Cannot Be Deeply Understood by English Alone.[00:05:33] Four Major Divisions of Veda[00:07:52] Ritambhara Pragya[00:09:44] Awakening the Sequential Elaboration of Sound[00:12:30] Chronology of the Yugas[00:14:17] Divisions and Subdivisions of Veda[00:16:39] Veda of the Treta Yuga[00:17:54] Dwapara Yuga - Home of the Great Epics of India[00:20:08] The Yuga Cycle[00:22:14] The Vedic Idea of Time[00:23:53] The Linear Approach to Understanding the Yugas[00:26:02] Satya Yuga — The Age of Truth[00:27:47] Ayurveda - Self Healthcare[00:29:03] Gandharva Veda - The Sound Dynamic[00:30:48] Dhanur Veda - The Supreme Arts of Governance[00:31:56] Sthapatya Veda - Science of Architecture[00:34:17] The Treta Yuga Layer of Human Consciousness[00:35:32] The Dwapara Yuga Layer of Human Consciousness[00:36:15] The Fall From the Status Quo[00:38:05] The Saw-toothed Evolutionary Process[00:39:00] Understanding the Pattern[00:40:16] Trapped in Kali Yuga[00:41:07] The World of Constant Change[00:41:46]  Escaping Kali Yuga Through Vedic Meditation[00:43:50]  The Purpose of Vedic Meditation[00:45:00] More Than a Bunch of Fairy Tales[00:46:02] Exploring the Veda - Course Available Worldwide Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles/https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

BlackRock Chief Investment Officer Pam Chan shares how living up to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) standards will require new perspectives and partnerships. She explains how future leaders will need to think differently and move out of comfort zones to take sustainability further - while outlining the everyday habits and practices successful leaders will put into practice.

Environment, Social and Governance or ESG has always been seen as something only MNCs or public-listed companies do. But is this true? The Department of Statistics Malaysia recorded roughly 1.2 million MSMEs which accounts for 97.4% of the total establishments in Malaysia. This translates into a contribution of almost 40% of Malaysia's GDP with SME exports recorded at more than RM 117 billion for 2020. So with that number in mind, can MSMEs still remain on the sidelines when it comes to ESG practices in today's global market? We will be speaking to Margie Ong, CEO of Thoughts In Gear (TIG) to understand why MSMEs need to join the effort.Image Credit: Shutterstock | Tanmoythebong

0:00 -- Intro.1:47 -- Start of interview.2:39 -- Sandra's "origin story". She was born and grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil. After graduating from UNIP with a degree in communications she worked as a journalist for 10 years. She later transitioned to executive roles. In 1995, she was invited by Bengt Hallqvist to join a group to discuss issues impacting boards in Brazil. "She had nothing to do with boards at the time." "[B]ut she fell in love with the topic." That led to the creation of the Brazilian Institute of Board Members, rebranded the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance five years later. 10:06 -- On founding her firm Better Governance in 2005 "to be fully dedicated to corporate governance".12:20 -- On her book "The Black Box of Governance" (2021) "The book presents a guide to behavioral tools enabling directors and executives to confidently navigate the boardroom, improving interactivity and the efficiency of the decision-making process."19:13 -- On the evolution of corporate governance in Brazil in the last 25 years. Overview of the Novo Mercado (created in 2000). At the time this McKinsey report was influential. The Brazilian corporate law was revised in 2001. The first company to be listed in Novo Mercado was only in 2002 (the market was slow to adopt it). The year 2007 was a record year for IPOs in Brazil. In this period "Brazil was a benchmark" for the region. "But then there was a plateau, a stagnation."25:57 -- About the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code (for Listed Companies). She started this process in 2013 when she was Chair of the IBGC with the formation of "The GT Interagentes" (Interagents Working Group) comprised of 11 of the most important agencies related to the capital markets. There were two observing entities: CVM (Brazilian securities regulator) and BNDES (Brazilian development bank).29:32 -- On the influence of the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code and the state of Novo Mercado today.34:48 -- About the Lava Jato (Car Wash) Investigation, Petrobras and corruption in Brazil.36:09 -- On the governance of state-owned enterprises. "For me, it doesn't work."40:27 -- About Crisis-Resilient Boards: Lessons from Vale (article published on Harvard Law School Corporate Governance Blog) and latest ESG trends in Brazil (including the SEC's suing Vale for making false and misleading claims). "Nothing resists the culture that you have installed."51:00 -- On ESG in Brazil. "The international institutional investors are the ones really leading and raising the bar." "For me, I'd be happy when the time comes where we would no longer need to use this acronym, it should [just] be embedded in strategy." "The G (in ESG) is the driver of everything."57:04 -- On the future of corporate governance in Brazil. "The drivers are both fear and greed." "Governance may have to change profoundly [particularly] given the governance models of startups and scaleups. We may have to rethink flexibility in governance models."01:02:28 - Novels that have greatly impressed her: Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell (1945 and 1949)House of Spirits, by Isabel Allende  (1982)Name of the Rose, by Humberto Eco (1980)*Corporate governance books that have greatly influenced her:A History Corporate Governance 1602-2002, by Paul Frentrop (2003) Corporate Governance and Chairmanship: A Personal View, by Sir Adrian Cadbury (2002)01:04:57 - Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them? Bengt Hallqvist, the founder of IBGC. "He was the one that introduced corporate governance to me,  and with that he changed my life."01:06:00 - Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by? "Things can always be better."01:06:48 -  An unusual habit or an absurd thing that she loves: dancing!Sandra Guerra is the founder of Better Governance and has served on the boards of listed, closed, family-controlled and state-controlled companies as well as of non-profit organizations both in Brazil and abroad. She was one of the founding members of the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC). She's the author of “The Black Box of Governance” published by Routledge in 2021.__ You can follow Evan on social media at:Twitter: @evanepsteinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/epsteinevan/ Substack: https://evanepstein.substack.com/__Music/Soundtrack (found via Free Music Archive): Seeing The Future by Dexter Britain is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License

There is allot of focus on our physical Supply Chains, but what about digital supply chains? I talk with long time lead auditor for ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and other standards, Willy Fabritius. Willy takes a different view of Supply Chain Management and talks about the digital aspects, rather than the traditionally focus of physical products and their supply chains. It's a new perspective that hasn't been fully talked about until now. Will talks about: 1. Defining digital supply chains, 2. Digital supply chain issues, 3. Products and Services obtained through a digital manner, 4. Impacts of digital changes to products already in use, 5. Key program components and possible solutions, 6. Risk Assessments / Analysis, 7. Regulatory requirements, 8. User awareness (People aren't as aware as you might think.), 9. Incident management and learning from them, 10. Management Systems, 11. Independent reviews and assessments (Governance)...and more. It's a very informative talk with a focus many aren't considering in Supply Chain Management; the digital aspects. Don't miss this! Enjoy!

If there's a country that “punches above its weight”, it's South Korea. It's home to some of the world's largest and most important companies, and the source of pop culture that dominates Asia—and even planted a foothold in the West. But the country's growth would have been astounding to those at the end of the Korean War. The Republic of Korea was poor, devastated by war, and stuck deep in Cold War politics. Shrimp to Whale: South Korea from the Forgotten War to K-Pop (Hurst, 2022) by Ramon Pacheco Pardo tells the story of Korea over the past sixty years, charting the country's path through dictatorship and democracy to the economic and cultural powerhouse it is today. In this interview, Ramon and I talk about Korea–what it was like after the war, how it became a mature democracy–and what makes the book's title, Shrimp to Whale, especially apt. Ramon Pacheco Pardo is Professor of International Relations at King's College London, and KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Brussels School of Governance. He is also a non-resident adjunct fellow with the Center for Strategic Studies Korea Chair, and a non-resident fellow at the Sejong Institute.

The impact of Brexit on the governance ecosystem is significant. The United Kingdom (UK) is one of the most important countries in the European Union (EU) and its departure will have major implications for how the EU functions. The UK has been a key player in shaping EU policy and its leaving will create a power vacuum that other countries will be eager to fill. There are a number of key areas where the impact of Brexit on governance will be felt. One is the impact on the Single Market. The UK is a major contributor to the EU's budget and its departure will leave a hole in the finances of the bloc. This could lead to austerity measures being imposed on other member states or a reduction in the overall budget. Another area where Brexit will have an impact is on security. The UK is a key member of NATO and its departure could lead to the weakening of the alliance. This could have serious implications for the security of Europe as a whole. Finally, Brexit will also have an impact on the EU's ability to negotiate trade deals. The UK is one of the largest economies in the EU and its departure will make it harder for the bloc to reach agreements with other countries. How the UK Is Taking Advantage of Leaving the EU The UK is taking advantage of leaving the EU by negotiating its own trade deals, striking new partnerships, and attracting investment from around the world. The UK has already secured trade deals with a number of countries, including Canada, Japan, and South Korea. These deals are worth billions of pounds and will create thousands of jobs. The UK is also in the process of negotiating a trade deal with the United States, which is expected to be worth over £100 billion. The UK has also used its newfound freedom to strike new partnerships with countries outside of the EU. For example, the UK has joined forces with Australia and New Zealand to create a new trading bloc called the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. In addition to trade, the UK is also attracting investment from around the world. In 2018, the UK received a record £6.9 billion of investment from China. This is a significant increase from the £1.2 billion that was invested in 2017. The UK is taking advantage of leaving the EU and is cementing its place as a global leader in trade and investment. With its strong economy and world-class universities, the UK is an attractive destination for businesses and investors alike. What Is the State of the Governance Ecosystem in the UK Post Brexit? The UK's departure from the EU has given rise to a number of questions about the future of governance in the UK. There is no doubt that Brexit will have significant implications for the UK's domestic and international affairs, and this will in turn impact the governance landscape. There are a number of key issues that will need to be addressed in the coming months and years, including the UK's relationship with the EU, the impact of Brexit on devolution, and the future of financial services regulation. In addition, there will be a need to consider how the UK's exit from the EU will impact its role in international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. The UK Governance Ecosystem The UK has a highly developed system of governance, which includes a number of institutions, laws, and practices. The following overview provides a brief introduction to some of the key elements of the UK's governance ecosystem. The Constitution The UK does not have a codified constitution, but rather a set of constitutional conventions and principles that have been developed over time. The key document that sets out the constitutional framework of the UK is the Act of Union 1800, which established the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Constitution of the United Kingdom is based on the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, which means that the UK Parliament is the supreme legislative body in the country. The Parlia...

Olga Tokariuk is a distinguished independent journalist and researcher based in Kyiv, Ukraine. She writes mainly about Ukrainian politics, international affairs, and the role of disinformation and its impact on democracies worldwide. In a compelling interview with our host Augusto Lopez-Claros, Ms. Tokariuk talks about life in war-torn Ukraine, why Russia sees Ukraine and the West as security threats, and the role disinformation and propaganda play in Russia's campaign to disseminate a false narrative about the war. She comments on the end game in this war, both for Russia and Ukraine and why so much is at stake for our rules-based global order on the outcome of this war. Speaking with a rare combination of coherent arguments based on historical facts and a forceful voice, she comes across as an impressively effective spokesperson for the 44 million Ukrainians currently trying to survive the evils of unprovoked Russian aggression and violence.

If there's a country that “punches above its weight”, it's South Korea. It's home to some of the world's largest and most important companies, and the source of pop culture that dominates Asia—and even planted a foothold in the West. But the country's growth would have been astounding to those at the end of the Korean War. The Republic of Korea was poor, devastated by war, and stuck deep in Cold War politics. Shrimp to Whale: South Korea from the Forgotten War to K-Pop (Hurst, 2022) by Ramon Pacheco Pardo tells the story of Korea over the past sixty years, charting the country's path through dictatorship and democracy to the economic and cultural powerhouse it is today. In this interview, Ramon and I talk about Korea–what it was like after the war, how it became a mature democracy–and what makes the book's title, Shrimp to Whale, especially apt. Ramon Pacheco Pardo is Professor of International Relations at King's College London, and KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Brussels School of Governance. He is also a non-resident adjunct fellow with the Center for Strategic Studies Korea Chair, and a non-resident fellow at the Sejong Institute.

Guest Bios Show Transcript When you give to a church or nonprofit, how do you know your money is being well spent? How do you know if leadership is truly being held accountable? In this session from the recent Restore Conference, veteran journalist and MinistryWatch president Warren Cole Smith answers these vital questions. As Warren explains, the evangelical church has been completely incapable of policing itself.

Alexandre Marc is a political scientist and economist with over 30 years of experience working in areas of conflict and fragility across four continents. Alexandre was the Chief Specialist for Fragility, Conflict and Violence at the World Bank, and is the lead author of the United Nations-World Bank flagship report Pathways for Peace: Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict (2018). He also co-led the preparation of the World Bank's Strategy for Fragility, Conflict, and Violence 2020-2025.This is the first episode in a series with Alexandre covering the Pathways for Peace report, the stories that underpin its core ideas, and his recent work on the geopolitics of fragility. We start by talking about Alexandre's upbringing and how traveling with his parents – an adventure worthy of an Indiana Jones movie - led him to discover the wonders of different cultures. Experiences such as staying in an archeological mission in Egypt, crossing Afghanistan and Iran by car, and a road trip from Paris to Jordan sparked Alexandre's interest in how different cultures coexist and led him to try to understand conflict. We then talk about to the relationship between the price of bananas and witchcraft in Cameroon – and we sure had questions about it! Alexandre then shares with us how caring about people, culture, and history helps you better understand the origins and dynamics of conflict, the need to differentiate between conflict and violent conflict, and how the rise in what he calls “conflicts of fragility” led to the Pathways for Peace report. The conversation also explores how actors, institutions, and structural factors can push a country towards peace or conflict, why peace is desirable, the dangers of horizontal inequality, and the importance of dignity. And there's so much more! Listen to the episode to hear Alexandre share many more insights into fragility, conflict, and peace. *****Alexandre MarcWebsite: https://www.alexandremarc.orgTwitter: https://twitter.com/AlexanMarc1International Institute for Strategic Studies : https://www.iiss.org/people/conflict-security-and-development/alexandre-marcInstitute for Integrated Transitions: https://ifit-transitions.org/experts/alexandre-marc/*****Mihaela Carstei, Paul M.
