John joins Lori Allen and Ajantha Subramanian for the roundup episode of the second series of Violent Majorities, focusing on long-distance ethnonationalism. Looking back at their conversations with Peter Beinart on Zionism and Subir Sinha on Hindutva, Lori begins by asking whether Peter underestimates the material entanglements keeping Jewish American support for Israel in place. Ajantha wonders if a space has been opened up by Zionism's more naked dependence on coercion and brute force. When John expresses puzzlement about the fervent ethnonationalism of minorities within a pluralistic society Lori and Ajantha point out that a sense of minority vulnerability may heighten the allures of long-distance ethnonationalism. The three explore various questions. Does the successful rise of Hindu ethnonationalism in the UK stem from a perceived contrast between benign Hinduism and dangerous Islam? Does the need for popular ratification through electoral democracy limit the scope of long-distance ethnonationalism? Is there a limit to how effectively Zionists and Hindutvites in the US and UK can wield claims to wounded religious minority sentiment while benefiting from from the hollowing out of democratic institutions? And finally, the three ask if the ominously successful assimilation of Zionism into American right-wing politics may also start working for Hindutva. Mentioned in the episode: Isabella Hammad, Recognizing the Stranger Azad Essa, Hostile Homelands Recall This Book with Shaul Magid on Meir Kahane Ben Lorber on masculinist “Bronze-Age” Zionism Recallable Books: Lori singles out The Palestinians: From Peasants to Revolutionaries, (1979) by Rosemary Sayigh, anthropologist and oral historian. It explores the ways Palestinian nationalism and organized resistance to their dispossession and oppression took hold in the refugee camps of Lebanon. Ajantha's choice is Ayad Akhtar's Homeland Elegies, published in 2020, a readable, poignant, and edgy account of US empire, Islam, and race and the challenges of being an South Asian American Muslim. She also recalls the film Mississippi Masala from 1991, a compelling take on race and class dynamics in the US Indian diaspora. John proposes Paul Breines' Tough Jews and Gita Mehta's Karma Cola–to which Ajantha adds Hanif Kureshi's Buddha of Suburbia. Listen and Read Here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Vincent had the pleasure of interviewing Albert Tucker, chairman of the Karma Cola Foundation, and a leading figure in the Fairtrade movement. The interview was part of a talk he gave at a Sustainable Business Network event, so apologies for sound issues as it was a live recording. Albert is an amazing individual. He was born in Sierra Leone but fled with his family to the UK before the civil war.After graduating with an MA in Social Policy and Administration he moved into community working with Comic Relief and The Big Lottery fund. But his roots pulled him back to African and he now specialises in helping small-scale farmers to use trade to grow their communities, improve their income, and protect their environment. Vincent started by asking Albert to describe life for the cola farmers in Sierra Leone.

Karma Drinks has spent the past 12 years building a company that aims to make the most ethical soft drinks in the world. Its ingredients are ethically sourced, organic and one percent of revenue from every drink goes back to the Sierra Leone villages that grow them. In October this year Karma Drinks achieved B Corp certification - recognition that the company has achieved the highest standards of social and environmental performance. And last month the company took top honours at the Sustainable Business Awards. Chris Morrison is Karma Drinks co-founder, director and part of the Executive Team and joins Kathryn to talk about how the company is improving the lives of others, one drink at a time.

 Well, ethical soft drink company Karma Drinks has won the Supreme Award at the 20th annual Sustainable Business this week…  It was formed by Simon Coley, along with brothers Matt and Chris Morrison, who wanted to make ‘Karma Cola' out of ingredients that were good for the land, good for growers and good for consumers…  REX Today host Dom George caught up with one of the trio, Chris Morrison to learn more about the Karma business… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Simon Coley is the co-founder of All Good Organics, the pioneering importer of ethical bananas, and also of Karma Drinks, famous for its Karma Cola. Karma just celebrated 10 years, a notable achievement for any brand, but especially noteworthy because 1% of total revenues goes back to the Karma Foundation, which funds health and development in Boma, Sierra Leone, the source of the Karma cola nut. All Good Bananas also operates in an unethical industry and tries to return as much as possible to growers in Ecuador. Vincent talks with Simon about the journey to the triple bottom line.

Listen to our mind-blowing conversation with Dr. Lalich and we describe in detail the process of going through Baptiste training and her explanation of how it's deliberately designed to make us into "perfect little followers" and pretty soon taking on the doctrine of the group as our own. We have learned to commit and not speak out so any red flags we see are put on a "shelf" until one day the shelf breaks and we start to untangle and question everything. Classic techniques used since the 60's and 70's birth of the Large Group Awareness Trainings (LGAT) era have been re-purposed by Baron and Baptiste Yoga which are touted as "self-help" are actually designed to cause self abuse and train the participant to abuse and gaslight themselves using the "tools" learned in the trainings. Learn how to not "cult-hop" from one high control group to another by recognizing the sign and techniques used by many different types of cult-like groups. Janja Lalich, Ph.D. is a researcher, author, and educator specializing in cults and extremist groups, with a particular focus on charismatic relationships, political and other social movements, ideology and social control, and issues of gender and sexuality. She has been a consultant to educational, mental health, business, media, and legal professionals, as well as having worked with current members, former members, and families of members of controversial groups. A former Fulbright scholar, Dr. Lalich is Professor Emerita of Sociology at California State University, Chico, where in 2007 she was awarded the Professional Achievement Honor. Also, Dr. Lalich is the founder and director of the Center for Research on Influence and Control. She received a B.A. with Honors from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has a Master's in Human Development and a Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Systems from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. Dr. Lalich has written and lectured extensively and is author, coauthor, or editor of numerous books, articles, and chapters. Her most recent book is Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships (Bay Tree Publishing, 2006), a fully-revised and expanded edition of her first book, Captive Hearts, Captive Minds, which has been the number-one book used by former cult members and their friends and families to better understand cult experiences and their consequences. Another of her recent publications is the critically acclaimed Bounded Choice: True Believers and Charismatic Cults (University of California Press, 2004), based on her research on the Heaven's Gate cult, the group that committed collective suicide in 1997, and her own 10+ years' experience in a political cult, the San Francisco-based Democratic Workers Party. Most importantly, this book puts forth Dr. Lalich's “bounded choice” theory, which offers a new approach for understanding the dynamics of “self-sealed” groups and the true-believer phenomenon.

Chris Morrison does not stop. He's the founder of Phoenix Drinks, All Good Organics and Karma Drinks (makers of Karma Cola).

This week Damien Clarkson and Judy Nadel talk with Simon Coley, co-founder of Karma Drinks. Simon talks about how they built the business, the Karma Cola foundation and the work they are doing in Sierra Leone, various ways of becoming accredited as an ethical company, and the importance of just getting started with an idea. We also cover the age-old tension between practical change and ethical principles, and best practice for finding the right people to work with. Summer's coming, so kick back and enjoy with a bottle of Karma Cola! This podcast is produced by Vevolution and edited by Bridey Addison-Child

Prentice's TakeawaysRarely do entrepreneurs turn and look back down the mountain to enjoy the view of the valley. After we ended the recording, Simon thanked me profusely for how this interview caused him to reflect on how far he and Karma Cola had come since the beginning. The best thing you can do to serve your brand is to remember why you got into this in the first place. What giants did you intend to topple when you got started on this adventure?In the case of Simon and Karma Cola, their success comes by taking the long view and continuing to hyper-focus on the company's founding mission as they continue to evolve and grow to expanding markets. Show HighlightsFairtrade banana demand VirtuesHow do you turn something into a force of good?Brands and perception Fairtrade cola Impact of Karma Cola Karma Cola Foundation and scholarships Duty to support one another What are the guidelines for ‘ethical and organic'?Fairtrade auditing Ebola crisis Branding details Brands need to arm consumers with storiesLemmy's Life User-generated content “Walking the talk”ResourcesFollow Simon on TwitterConnect with Simon on LinkedInKarma Cola's Website

Dr Niki Harré is a Psychology Professor from The University of Auckland who focuses on sustainability and social change (among other areas). She authored Psychology for a Better World (check out her video summary of the book here) and has contributed significantly to the academic world on thinking about sustainability and how we can change societal behaviours for the common good. This fascinating conversation draws on Niki’s ideas that challenge the status quo in several ways. She builds on the ideas put forward in the book Finite and Infinite Games (James Carse) – the framework of identifying that most pursuits can be split into finite games (played for the purpose of winning) and infinite games (played for the purpose of continuing the play).

Shout out to two other Buy Nothing kiwi heroes: Kristy Lorson and Chris Morrison - both making their living out of selling stuff but would rather you didn’t buy it. Kristy is the guru behind zero waste hub Earth Savvy and Chris is the co-founder of Aotearoa’s most successful fair trade businesses Karma Cola and All Good Bananas. When asked what the one thing people could do to save the planet is, Chris said “buy less.” Kristy boldly took her shop off line for Black Friday / Buy Nothing Day last year. If you don’t get why you can’t buy as much fair trade, organic, plastic free “STUFF” as you want then listen on. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode we sit down to chat with Simon Coley, who is a designer, a creative, and marketeer. A Kiwi native, Simon co-founded Karma Cola with Chris and Matt Morrison after a successful career in advertising. Named as one of the world's most ethical companies, in the words of Karma Cola they may just be a Fizzy Drinks but they’re serious about looking after the people who grow ingredients. Together we chat about the “all good idea”, the business of ethical and organic produce, the challenges of starting-up and the impact of popular culture.

Simeon Burnett: Sharing in the success of start-ups // equity crowd-funding Simeon is passionate about developing New Zealand businesses into successful international ventures. He spent his first year as manager of a small water reticulation business in Auckland. Then from 2006 to 2015, he held a number of different roles at Fonterra, gaining extensive experience in company valuation, external fundraising, and commercial agreement structuring. More recently he was involved with international business strategy development and financial portfolio management. He is also involved with Lightning Lab and Flying Kiwi Angels. Simeon is the CEO and co-founder of Snowball Effect. New Zealand is fertile ground for start-up companies - easy ones are Xero and Trademe, but some of the new ones like Archipro, Ubco, Invivo, Karma Cola (to name just a few!) are ones that you may not be aware of...yet! As a retail investor, normally the first entry point to participation in the success of Kiwi firms occurs when the company is eventually listed on a public exchange, but what if you wanted to get in on the ground floor? What if Rod Drury offered you an opportunity to invest in his idea of a cloud-based software back in 2006? If you're a more sophisticated wholesale or eligible investor, this isn't new, and you could already be playing in this space, but now, via equity crowdfunding there's an opportunity for NZ everyday investors to share in some of the success too. Democratisation of investing – this trend isn’t going away, and there’s a few business in NZ at the pointy head of this movement – Snowball Effect is one of them. Join Darcy Ungaro and Simeon as they talk about private equity, venture capitalism, angel funding and also equity crowd-funding. There's innovation happening in this space which will be great for investors and new ventures with our #8 way of thinking. Snowball Effect works with companies throughout the growth cycle. Investors on Snowball Effect often choose to invest in companies at different growth stages to fit their investment preferences or help balance out the risk profile of their portfolio. Snowball Effect facilitate both private and public offers for young companies that have already commenced revenue generating activity and have successfully demonstrated traction in the market. Private and public offers are used by medium-stage growth companies to fund growth initiatives such as production expansion, exporting, and marketing. Snowball Effect also facilitate secondary offerings such as rights issues for more mature companies and can assist with IPO distribution. These offers allow Snowball Effect investors to gain easy access to offers that might otherwise only be available to institutional investors.

Today’s guest is a pioneer in organics, sustainable business and has won awards for being the world’s fairest trader. You have definitely sampled his wares, if you’ve enjoyed a fair trade banana, a cola made with actual cola, or a few years back tasted a lemonade sweetened with honey. Chris Morrison was the co-founder of Phoenix organics, when, more than 20 years ago there was no organics industry. He built the business and the category, and then did something remarkable, he not only worked to mentor the next generation of sustainable businesses, but has gone on to reinvent some of our most ubiquitous consumer goods, the banana and the cola.

Scott Goodson speaks with the soul behind Karma Cola, Simon Coley about this fast growing international movement. Though it's yet to hit US shores, Karma Cola's steely resolve, cult-like, retro pop designs and hard core followers believe deeply in the brands eternal destiny: "What goes around comes around".

Supported by Kiwi-based parent company All Good Organics, Karma Cola have sparked a movement with an idea that a commercially popular cola can positively change in the world, without compromising on attitude, the cool-factor or on taste.  For more ideas on Uprising and movements, cultural movements and movement marketing, follow Uprising!!! on Facebook.
