In episode 77 the Investing in Impact podcast, I speak with Lawrence Williams III, Partner at the De-Carceration Fund, on the fund's mission to support startups that address the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals and those reentering society.The U.S. criminal justice system affects over 6.6 million people and costs the nation more than $80 billion per year.The De-Carceration Fund is unique in its mission to support and invest in enterprises that directly address the failings of the U.S. criminal justice system. The fund's multipronged strategy includes backing companies that work in areas such as:Preventing Entry: Advocating for reforms in gun control, cash bail, foster care, law enforcement, and domestic violence to reduce the number of individuals who enter the criminal justice system.Reducing Suffering: Supporting efforts in juvenile justice, legal costs, prison programming, family support, and sentence reduction to ease the burdens placed on those within the system.Ending the Cycle: Addressing recidivism by promoting reform and rehabilitation that help formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society and avoid re-incarceration.The Economics of IncarcerationThe current system perpetuates a cycle of financial exploitation and human suffering. Private companies make approximately $7 billion from prison operations, with over $3 billion of that coming directly from the families of incarcerated individuals.Each inmate costs an average of $35,000 per year, yet over half of those released return to prison within three years.This broken system not only drains resources but fails to provide meaningful solutions to reduce crime or support rehabilitation.The indirect costs of incarceration, estimated at $260 billion annually, further highlight the deep flaws in the system.These costs ripple through society, affecting families, communities, and the overall economy.

Nous les humains, nous aimons beaucoup ranger le monde dans des cases, y compris en matière artistique. Cela nous rassure, avant d'approcher une œuvre, de savoir de quel champ, de quelle discipline elle relève : si c'est de la danse, il va y avoir du corps, du mouvement, si c'est du cirque, il y aura peut être des prouesses impressionnantes et peut-être du rire, si c'est du théâtre, il y a forcément du texte. Mais bonne nouvelle, les artistes d'aujourd'hui ne se laissent pas enfermer dans des boîtes. Ils et elles challengent volontiers nos représentations à travers leurs créations : on se retrouve ainsi dans les brochures de lieux de spectacles, à côté des créations bien rangées, avec des catégories comme « inclassable » ou « forme hybride » ce qui traduit bien notre embarras face à ce désir de classification. Et pourtant, justement, la classification des arts a rangé ensemble, dans le 6e art, les arts de la scène : danse, théâtre, mime et cirque. Tout est donc permis ! Lorsqu'il a voulu se former aux arts du cirque, on a demandé à Vasil Tasevski, mon invité, de choisir une spécialité. Il a un peu fait semblant d'accepter, mais a continué son chemin sans se préoccuper des frontières entre les disciplines, pour finir par créer sa propre magie.

What's meaningful to one person may not be meaningful to the next. But one this is for sure, we as humans search for meaning through consumption, whatever that “meaning” may be.Lawrence Williams is an associate professor of Marketing at the Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado Boulder. In his research, Dr. Williams examines the subtle influence of environmental cues on consumer behavior, the impact of psychological distance on consumers' emotional judgments, and the mechanisms of self-regulation and self-control. In this episode, Lawrence discusses the importance of self-expression, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of consumption, and where purpose-driven branding & products fall into the mix.EPISODE QUOTES:On using behavior to guide a strategy[00:23:32] It's very easy, especially in modern world where we are incentivized to express our emotions and our opinions almost daily, nonstop, through social media and all of that stuff. That's amplified. It's really easy to talk about what you value. But when it's less about signaling and more about active choices, you have to look at people's behavior.Intrinsic vs. extrinsic[00:02:46] When we talk about intrinsic versus extrinsic, intrinsic is something that's coming from the inside, and extrinsic is something that's out there in the world. We tend to talk about those in terms of our motivation. What's driving us to pursue a certain thing, behave in a certain way, go a certain place, buy a certain thing? And sometimes, those motivations are coming from within us. What are people willing to give up in order to get meaning?[00:09:46] When it came to meaningful experiences when it came to meaningful pursuits, people were willing to pay less was very interesting, but it gave us some insight into what they're thinking about. And, for us, when people are thinking about pursuing meaning, you have an array of free things that come to mind.SHOW LINKS:Faculty Profile at Leeds School of BusinessLawrence Williams' LinkedIn ProfileLawrence Williams on Google Scholar

English: www.TheRadioVagabond.com Vi fik mulighed for at tilbringe et par dage på Mandina River Lodges, som er det mest fantastiske sted midt i en skov omkring en halv times kørsel fra den lille hovedstad i Gambia, Banjul. Mandina River Lodges blev grundlagt af to englændere, Lawrence Williams og James English. Lawrence er en af mine venners ven - og også en ivrig rejsende med en spændende historie. Desværre var Lawrence ikke i Gambia på det tidspunkt, hvor vi var der, men jeg lover at fange ham på et tidspunkt så han kan fortælle sin historie. James English er hans onkel. Eller rettere sagt "var". For han døde meget uventet i 2012, blot fem uger efter at være blevet diagnosticeret med kræft. James og Lawrence havde rejst meget sammen og nu, når Lawrence besøger et nyt land spreder han en lille smule af sin onkels aske i landet som en gestus. I årevis havde James ledt efter et stykke land, der var egnet til at skabe et turisme projekt, og på julaften 1992 fandt han Makasutu. I dag drives Mandina River Lodges af hans tidligere kone, Linda English, men det var først efter, James døde, at Linda kom ned her. Faktisk mente hun, at det var en tosset ide at investere penge i et stykke jord i Gambia. Nu har hun været her seks år allerede og elsker stedet. Makasutu er en tropisk reservat, der omfatter fem forskellige økosystemer. Da de fandt det var en stor del af skoven blevet fældet og de besluttede at forsøge at genetablere skoven, og i løbet af de næste få år havde de plantet 15.000 træer. Nu er dyrelivet vendt tilbage med mange fuglearter, øgler, bavianer, colobus aber, en krokodille i ny og næ og endda det kattelignende rovdyr Manguster kan ses ved flodbreden. Den første dag blev vi inviteret til at gå en tur gennem skoven med en lokal guide, klædt i grøn og khaki og med en kikkert hængende rundt om halsen klar til kigge efter fugle. James og Lawrence tilbragte de første syv år i telt på stedet uden rindende vand eller elektricitet. De gjorde dette for at forstå jorden og miljøet, og det kan ses på de mange detaljer, der er i design og konstruktion af stedet. Makasutu, der i det lokale sprog Mandinka, betyder "hellig skov", og den oprindelige ide var at lave en lille backpackers lodge, men efter mange nætter, siddende omkring lejrbålet, besluttede de at åbne stedet som en kulturreservat, der fremhæver, hvordan de lokale bor og det rige dyreliv. Og i stedet for den lille backpackers lodge besluttede de sig for at lave et femstjernet øko-lodge uden sidestykke i Vestafrika. Det færdige resultat er imponerende, med i alt ni hytter med forskellige designs både på land og på vandet. Bortset fra fuglesang er der meget stille og fredeligt her. Jeg mødte også sikkerhedschefen på Mandina River Lodges, Dawda. Han er en tidligere politimand, og i sin fritid er han radio vært. Han havde sagt, at han ville vise mig et sted, der var meget vigtigt for hans arbejde som sikkerhedschef. Så jeg var lidt overrasket da vi stoppede midt i skoven. Tag også med til en anderledes og meget stille nytårsaften. Denne episode er længere end normalt fordi der er så meget at fortælle om disse fantastiske dage i Gambia.

We got the opportunity to spend a few days at Mandina River Lodges, the most amazing place in the middle of the forest around half an hours drive from the small capital of The Gambia, Banjul. Mandina River Lodges is founded by two Englishmen, Lawrence Williams, and James English. Lawrence is a friend of a friend of mine - and also an avid traveler with an exciting story. Unfortunately, Lawrence wasn't in The Gambia at the time we were there, but I promise to catch up with him at some point to get his story. James English is his uncle. Or was. Because he passed away very unexpected in 2012, five weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. James and Lawrence had been traveling a lot together and now, whenever Lawrence visits a new country, he spreads a little bit of his uncle's ashes in the country as a gesture. A thing that almost got him arrested in North Korea. Like I said: He has a lot of stories that I promise I'll have hin share at some point when I finally meet him. For years James had been searching for a piece of land suitable to create a tourism project, and on Christmas Eve 1992 they found Makasutu. Today Mandina River Lodges is run by his former wife, Linda English. And it was only after James passed away that Linda came down here. In fact, the thought it was a crazy idea to put money in a piece of forest in The Gambia. She's been here six years already and loves the place. Makasutu is a tropical 1000-acre reserve encompassing five different eco-systems. Fifteen thousand trees were planted over the next few years, and the wildlife came back. Now the wildlife is plentiful with many bird species, monitor lizards, baboons, vervet and red colobus monkeys, and the occasional crocodile, and even the odd mongoose can be spotted on the riverbanks. In the afternoon on the first day we were invited to go for a walk through the a with a local guide, dressed in green and khaki and with a monocular around his neck ready for bird watching. Makasutu, meaning ‘sacred forest' in the local language Mandinka, and they started it as both an ecology project and a place for people to come and learn about the local culture and people. James and Lawrence spent the first seven years living in tents on the land, with no running water or electricity. They did this getting to understand the land and environment, which is why you notice the attention to detail that has gone into the design and construction. The initial idea was to a small backpackers lodge, but after many nights sitting around the campfire they decided to try to help in the re-foresting of the area, and eventually to open the site as a cultural reserve, highlighting how the local people live, and also to encourage the return of wildlife to the area. One thing lead to another and instead of the small backpackers lodge they decided to develop a five-star eco-lodge like no other in West Africa. Construction began in 2000, with as many as 150 people working on the swimming pool alone. Due to the standard of the carpentry, the lodges were very time consuming to produce, however, the finished result is impressive with a total of nine lodges being completed over several years, with differing designs both on and off the water. And apart from the birds singing it's very quiet and peaceful here. The staff at Makasutu all come from the surrounding villages, a deliberate measure to try to help stop the urban drift to the city, and allowing the surrounding area to directly benefit from this place. One of them The head of security at Mandina River Lodges, his name is Dawda. We met him at the Base Camp when we were doing the jungle walk. He used to be a policeman, and then he's a popular radio DJ in his free time. We agreed to meet later and chat some more. So the next day Dawda came and picked me up at the main gate. I got on the back of his motorcycle, and we took off down the dirt road. He wanted to show me a spot that was very important for his work as the head of security. So I was a bit surprised when we stopped in the middle of the forest. That's where they have the main borehole, the main well.   LINKS:  Mandina River Lodges The Gambia Experience Sponsor Hotels25.com  See pictures on TheRadioVagabond.com   You can follow The Radio Vagabond on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram og YouTube.

The Third Person

Fred Kent founded The Project for Public Spaces over 40 years ago. He likes to say that if architecture is frozen music, then urban planning is composition and placemaking is improvisational street performance. Very early on in his career, he became part of a community of people -- Margaret Mead, Jane Jacobs and William H. White -- that formed a thesis around thriving public spaces not through the cold snapshots of a city from an aerial viewpoint, or the sterile abstractions of data, but through the keen power of human observation and the belief that richness is all around us if we're only willing to look. These pioneering urbanists famously stood up to Robert Moses and other destructive notions that prioritized traffic and sales over basic human needs with an approach that was as radical in its simplicity as it was transformative. Based on lightweight design tenets from community organizing that help facilitate public life with the help of the public, Fred has helped local communities reimagine and transform spaces they live in into places they love to live in over 3,000 communities and 48 countries. He and his partner are currently busy expanding their mission into PlacemakingX, a global network of citizens who are leading the fight against special interests and the dehumanizing effects of corporate urbanization by catalyzing change according to their collective visions. Note: The clip at 7:27 is from the Social Life of Small Urban Spaces by William H. Whyte, who was a collaborator and inspiration for The Project of Public Spaces. ++++ This is the third episode in a 5-part series about Designing Wild Bodies and Space. Check out our other conversations with a Choreographer (Andrea Miller from Gallim Dance) and an Interactive Narrative Designer (Nick Fortugno from Playmatics / Come Out and Play). Stay tuned for our upcoming conversation with an Urban Geographer to understand the invisible forces governing today's urban spaces and a nonfiction narrative episode to wrap it all up. Thanks to Brad Clymer for the dope intro music and Lawrence Williams for producing this episode!

What else allows you to do that?? Among many things, Nick is one of the founders of Come Out and Play, a festival that turns cities into playgrounds. We talk about physical psychology as a tool for designing bodies for specific emotional outcomes and how urban designers have to choose between designing for what's comfortable for humans vs. what is good for the social fabric of humanity (
