It's very rare for me to sit down with someone and become an even bigger fan of them after the fact but this is what happened with Lekan. I wasn't really sure what to expect with this episode because it's tricky when you've never interacted with someone prior to filming. On top of that, in all the interviews I had watched, he was very much introverted and reserved so I really wasn't sure what the dynamic was going to give. Just for this man to appear and even like talking and looking for trouble more than me, which is a genuine achievement

How did the Serengeti become an internationally renowned African conservation site and one of the most iconic destinations for a safari? In Our Gigantic Zoo: A German Quest to Save the Serengeti (Oxford UP, 2020), Thomas M. Lekan illuminates the controversial origins of this national park by examining how Europe's greatest wildlife conservationist, former Frankfurt Zoo director and Oscar-winning documentarian Bernhard Grzimek, popularized it as a global destination. In the 1950s, Grzimek and his son Michael began a quest to save the Serengeti from modernization and "overpopulation" by remaking an imperial game reserve into a gigantic zoo for the earth's last great mammals. Grzimek, well-known to German audiences through his long-running television program, A Place for Animals, used the film Serengeti Shall Not Die to convince ordinary Europeans that they could save nature. Yet their message sidestepped the uncomfortable legacies of German colonial exploitation in the region that had endangered animals and excluded local people. After independence, Grzimek raised funds, brokered diplomatic favors, and convinced German tourists to book travel packages—all to persuade Tanzanian leader Julius Nyerere that wildlife would fuel the young nation's economic development. Grzimek helped Tanzania to create almost a dozen new national parks by 1975, but wooing tourists conflicted with rights of the Maasai and other African communities to inhabit the landscape on their own terms. Grzimek's global priorities eventually clashed with Nyerere's nationalist ones, as a more self-assertive Tanzania resented conservationists' meddling and failed promises. A story that demonstrates the conflicts between international conservation, nature tourism, decolonization, and national sovereignty, Our Gigantic Zoo explores the legacy of the man who portrayed himself as a second Noah, called on a sacred mission to protect the last vestiges of paradise for all humankind. Eric Grube is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Boston College. He also received his PhD from Boston College in the summer of 2022. He studies modern German and Austrian history, with a special interest in right-wing paramilitary organizations across interwar Bavaria and Austria. "Casualties of War?

In the 1950s, Grzimek and his son Michael began a quest to save the Serengeti from modernization and "overpopulation" by remaking an imperial game reserve into a gigantic zoo for the earth's last great mammals. Grzimek, well-known to German audiences through his long-running television program, A Place for Animals, used the film Serengeti Shall Not Die to convince ordinary Europeans that they could save nature. Yet their message sidestepped the uncomfortable legacies of German colonial exploitation in the region that had endangered animals and excluded local people. After independence, Grzimek raised funds, brokered diplomatic favors, and convinced German tourists to book travel packages—all to persuade Tanzanian leader Julius Nyerere that wildlife would fuel the young nation's economic development. Grzimek helped Tanzania to create almost a dozen new national parks by 1975, but wooing tourists conflicted with rights of the Maasai and other African communities to inhabit the landscape on their own terms. Grzimek's global priorities eventually clashed with Nyerere's nationalist ones, as a more self-assertive Tanzania resented conservationists' meddling and failed promises. A story that demonstrates the conflicts between international conservation, nature tourism, decolonization, and national sovereignty, Our Gigantic Zoo explores the legacy of the man who portrayed himself as a second Noah, called on a sacred mission to protect the last vestiges of paradise for all humankind.

This episode is our Year In Review: 2022 Greatest Hits Part 1! We've put together some of our favourite clips and moments for you to enjoy over the holidays, and look forward to seeing you again in 2023 for some of our best guests to date! The 2022 guests featured in this episode are:#1 Patrick Deloy, E146 & E147, September 7th & 14th, 2022Our first feature comes from episodes 146 and 147 on September 7th and 14th with Patrick Deloy, Managing Director at Merkle, an award-winning e-commerce solutions provider which supports medium to large B2C and B2B companies with the planning, development, localization and long-term support of multi-country e-commerce website deployments in the APAC region. I had asked Patrick ‘what is the omni-channel retail ecosystem and environment today in the APAC region?#2Liam Mather, E134, March 15, 2022Our second clip features Liam Mather, Head of Public Affairs and Communications at WPIC Marketing + Technologies. Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, Liam helps guide WPIC's public and government affairs, strategic communications, media engagement, corporate branding, and sales enablement. Liam previously worked in BCW's Corporate and Public Affairs practice in Beijing, where he helped clients manage reputations, respond to crises, and navigate policy issues. This was from episode 134 released on March 15th, and for those who didn't get to hear the full episode, it's quite unique as we had the opportunity to talk to Liam about his time covering the Winter Olympics from within the Olympic bubble. Specifically, Liam was able to cover the hockey event, so we asked him about the state of hockey in China, specifically women's hockey, and here's what he had to say.#3William Bao Bean, E152 & E153, October 19th & 26th, 2022Up next is a clip from episode 152 on October 19th, the first of two episodes with an old friend of mine and an old friend of the podcast, William Bao Bean. William is a General Partner at SOSV and Managing Director of Orbit Startups. Orbit Startups helps companies scale breakthrough technologies across emerging and frontier markets to the regions with the most aggressive growth. William is a senior advisor at SOSV who has been a pioneer in the tech and telecommunications space in Asia. During his time with SoftBank China & India Holdings, he led investments in companies such as Yodo1, DemystData, Lekan, and Massive Impact. He was also an equity research analyst at Deutsche Bank covering the Internet and Telecom Equipment sector in Asia for 11 years before joining Innov8 Ventures as Managing Director where he is focused on supporting China investments. He is definitely one of the foremost experts on early-stage startups and investing in Asia Pacific, and in this particular clip I asked him ‘what are the strengths and differences of the teams you invest in and work with within Asia versus outside Asia?'#4Zarina Kanji, E133, March 7th, 2022On March 7th we released episode 133 with Zarina Kanji. Based in London, Zarina is the Head of Business Development for Health & Wellness and Food & Beverage Brands at Alibaba. She previously served as VP of Global Fashion Brand Partnerships at Lazada in Singapore. Zarina spoke with us about Tmall's upcoming International Women's Day—a key event tied to the company's Super Brand Day—on March 8, 2022. It has proven in previous years to be the third-largest shopping festival in the nation, behind 11.11 and 6.18, and is a unique opportunity for brands to engage with women across China. So, for this clip, we chose her response to my question ‘Can you tell us a little bit about what the Gen Z female consumers really care about in China right now, and how does that differ from their elder counterparts?'#5Alvin Wang Graylin, E125, January 12th, 2022On January 12th we were blessed to be able to interview Alvin Wang Graylin, China President at HTC. For anyone unfamiliar, HTC is an award-winning developer of smart mobile, connected technology, and virtual reality products. Alvin is also the Vice President of the Industry of Virtual Reality Alliance (IVRA) and the President of the Virtual Reality Venture Capital Alliance. He has almost three decades of business management experience in the tech industry, including 20 years in Greater China beginning with a Senior Management position at Intel in 1993. Prior to HTC, Alvin was a serial entrepreneur, having founded four venture-backed startups in the mobile and internet spaces, covering mobile social, "ad tech", search, AI, big data and digital media. I asked Alvin to tell us about some of the coolest & most innovative examples of VR that are heading our way in 2022 and beyond.#6Charles Lavoie, E154 & E156, November 2nd & 16th, 2022Our last clip for Part 1 of our Year in Review is from our conversation with Charles Lavoie on November 16th, episode number 156. Charles is the VP of Creative & Head of Creative Labs at WPIC Marketing & Technologies. A creative strategy & data analytics leader, Charles has incredibly strong cross-cultural backgrounds in international growth, go-to-market strategy, growth marketing, data analytics, creative planning, storytelling, sales, e-commerce, design and retail in the APAC region with projects focused in China, Hong Kong, Japan & Singapore. I asked Charles a very nuanced question at one point, probably one of the most granular questions I've asked anyone about brand entry into the APAC region, specifically “if a brand wants to take a multi-market strategy, how do you advise them, especially if they are also trying to stay ahead of an aggressive market competitor who might be going after the same regions for expansion themselves and may not have time to take a step by step approach?'

Over the past decade, businesses have witnessed an incredible evolution in how people communicate. Along with this shift came innovations and technologies that changed the way we interact with one another, not least in business. Where communication was once centered around traditional means such as face-to-face meetings or phone calls, it is now increasingly driven by technology such as email, text messages and video conferencing. This has given rise to new social practices, enabling us to carry out some tasks much quicker than before. In fact, many businesses would struggle without the use of modern technology for core functions such as recruiting new staff and managing customer enquiries.This episode of The Negotiation is a return to the show for William Bao.

In this episode, Ben is joined once again by Dr Olalekan (Lekan) Adekola, Senior Lecturer in Geography at York St John University, to discuss the concept of ‘Ecosystem Services' – the idea that we can value different environments or ecologies on the basis of the provisioning, regulatory, supporting or cultural benefits or services they provide (primarily to humans). We discuss the origins of the term, and its implications and practical application to environmental management, as well as addressing some of the key critiques of this approach. We reflect on how geographers might offer a useful perspective on the value of specific natures, and a means to counter some of the concept's more utilitarian tendencies. Below, for those who are interested, are some links to relevant readings mentioned in conversation and that further flesh out the concepts / topics discussed... Key Reading #1: Lekan discusses the work of Robert Constanza and others from 1997 – ‘The value of the world's ecosystem services and natural capital', published in Nature – that demonstrates an early, influential effort to quantify environmental benefits in terms of monetary value. Link here: https://www.nature.com/articles/387253a0 Key Reading #2: Sharachchandra Lele et al's 2013 review of the concept published in Conservation and Society (‘Ecosystem Services: Origins, Contributions, Pitfalls, and alternatives') incorporates a summary of some of the key ways that the concept of ES has been taken up in response to the challenges of environmental management and conservation, as well as reflecting on the weaknesses of the approach, and how these might be addressed. Open access and available here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/26393131?seq=1 Further Reading: Mark Everard's textbook, Ecosystem Services: Key Issues, a second edition published in 2022, provides an accessible introduction and overview of the concept of ecosystem services (and associated ideas) via a range of case studies and suggested further reading. A previous is available via Google Books: https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Ecosystem_Services/r9dSEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 Further Reading: Kurt Jax et al's 2013 paper in Ecological Economics (‘Ecosystem services and ethics') reflect on the ethical assumptions of potential issues arising from the application of the ES concept, and consider the importance of context for assessing the worth of the approach, as well as considering how improved clarity around the processes of evaluating the environment might address some of these concerns.

We discuss the characteristics to look for in a successful paralegal, the paralegals role in a law firm and how paralegals can train attorneys to get better outcomes for their clients and run cases in a smooth and efficient way. We discuss the paralegals role in marketing and the crazy Tic Toc law firm videos that are popping up everywhere. We swap funny and interesting stories from their collective 50+ years of experience and get insight into what is most important in a corporate culture that incentives employees to do well and stay for a long time. If you work in a law firm this is such a great discussion to pick up tips on what has made these ladies (and their firms) so successful. If don't work in a law firm, you will still find the management principles very helpful and applicable to your workplace. Finally, we even invited Andy Goldner and Brian Caron back on the show at the end to give their perspective on how they set up their firms and their relationships with their paralegals. Andy and Brian were guests on Episode 2 so we thought it appropriate to have their paralegals join to fact check what we learned from them on running their firms.
