The Possibility Club podcast: Practical Bravery - DISRUPTIVE UNIVERSITIES!   Between 2010 and 2015, our special guest for this episode served as the Director of Policy to the UK Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, during the Liberal Democrat and Conservative coalition government. Her work in government laid the foundation for her passion for equality and social justice.   After government, she co-founded the Money and Mental Health charity in partnership with Martin Lewis - before going on to lead the policy and democracy think tank, Demos.   As of June 2022, my guest has taken on the role of Chief Social Purpose Officer at the University of Arts London (UAL). In this position, she is championing a groundbreaking initiative—the Social Purpose Implementation Plan—a historic move for higher education in the UK.   We explore how UAL's plan goes beyond teaching and research; it's a commitment to addressing the intertwined challenges of our time: climate change, social inequality, and the imperative for creativity to drive positive change.   For the last Practical Bravery interview of 2023, I am delighted to bring you a fascinating chat with Polly Mackenzie. ----------   Polly MacKenzie via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/pollymackenzie/?originalSubdomain=uk   Polly MacKenzie via Advance HE https://www.advance-he.ac.uk/profile/polly-mackenzie   Polly on Twitter/X — @pollymackenzie   “I love creating new roles but there's this feeling of jeopardy — I have no idea how to do this — and there isn't a model, I can't just follow the instructions.”   "I just learnt that I'm called a ‘third space' professional, because I'm not an academic, and I'm not just in the professional services departments. Because I'm trying to catalyse change that goes across this whole waterfront.”   “We might be just wrong.”   University of the Arts London (UAL) https://www.arts.ac.uk/   “Grayson Perry has described UAL as the ‘world's largest factory for troublemakers.'”   “In academia you're embedded in that ‘term' structure. Parliament has this big long summer holiday, so do universities, but I feel like most normal people grew out of that! In businesses they talk about quarters, Q1, Q2, but here it's ‘terms'. It's ‘term', it's ‘recess' and the long vacation. I like the rhythm of the year.”   “In our office sections we didn't have any whiteboards. It's weird. You go to the studios, it's like creative central, you go to the offices, it's like a third tier law firm.”   UAL appoints Polly MacKenzie https://www.arts.ac.uk/about-ual/press-office/stories/ual-appoints-polly-mackenzie-as-chief-social-purpose-officer   “Give yourself the breathing room, the confidence to keep going, keep plodding, keep asking, keep exploring, keep writing stuff down, and you get to the point where you feel you know what to do.”   “Sometimes there's an instinct, a sharpness. I'm a words person, I studied English literature, my deepest loves are poems, speeches and stories. It's not that I dislike art but it's not my medium, the visual arts. So it's been interesting to push myself to try to think in 3D as well as in words.”   "There's a strong sense within art school tradition of art as disruption, art as activism. It's the making of something new, and therefore in the mindset of the people who want to do that, and the culture that is built when you gather them together, is to be agents of change. But we've started to talk about something that is more directional.”   "Anarchism has developed a branding problem on the left, if that makes any sense? You can't just say ‘smash it all to pieces and see what happens' and assume that that is a force for good.”   “I think there's a continuum between art-as-disruption,‘burn it all down', art-as-activism, which is more directed, or then perhaps art as an act of citizenship, of responsibility."     Nick Clegg, via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Clegg   The Cameron-Clegg, Lib Dem / Conservative coalition, via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron%E2%80%93Clegg_coalition   “Any of us who've ever tried to write experience writer's block. There's like a bag but I don't know how to put a handle on it, I've just got noise in my brain. But then there comes a moment when you can write.”   taxonomy, via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy   MSE Charity Fund, via MoneySavingExpert https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/mse-charity-fund/   How To Win An Election podcast, via The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/podcasts/how-to-win-an-election     How To Win An Election podcast via Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how-to-win-an-election/id1712827143   “I think more and more of us are seeing the inter-connectedness of the world.”   Kate Raworth — ‘doughnut economics' website https://www.kateraworth.com/doughnut/   Diana Coyle, via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Coyle   “No academic wants to be told what to do by the university, but I think art school academics just like an extra little sprinkling of that sense of artistic freedom. So the question is, what can we collaborate on, where we feel a shared sense of values?”   “We believe that progress is driven by imagination and the practical mechanisms of bringing that imagined world to life.”   “I want Britain to be a science superpower like the government does, but I feel like they want us to be a science superpower and none of that flakey, woke soft stuff. But there's no science without creativity.”      “We, as storytellers, have the ability to change the mindsets of other people.”   “I guess it's called agile, isn't it. Know where you're going and experiment about how to get there.”   DEMOS think tank https://demos.co.uk/   James Purnell, via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Purnell   “The dysfunctions of politics are many and manifold.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Steve Byrne who is the CEO of Travel Counsellors. They discuss the 3 evolutionary stages the business has gone through. A journey that resulted in double-digit growth every year to the point where turnover is now at £700 million.   Steve explains how the company has benefitted from actively working to do the right thing for its customers and to be the best. They are a relationship-based business, so their people and trust are the glue that makes them strong. He explains that despite the pressures of CoVid they stuck to their values and how it enabled them to come through that crisis. He also talks about using sounding boards, making decisions, being resilient, staying in shape and how to expand overseas.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   We have looked at how we can grow by doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues. Too many travel firms expend all of their energy chasing new customers instead of looking after the ones that they already have. When you care more than anyone else, people notice the positive difference and come back to you repeatedly. Your career works in tandem with your personal life. You determine how they are blended. Surround yourself with the right people to act as a sounding board. When you have to make tough decisions, do it in the most caring way. Absorb headlines but don't get overwhelmed by the details. You need to stay positive to be able to help. Most people want to be the best that they can be, so find ways to facilitate that.   BEST MOMENTS ‘To keep it entrepreneurial you focus on growth and wanting to do better. ´ ‘Two-thirds of our business is repeat business… and the rest of it comes from referrals.' ‘Build capacity within the team and create other leaders.' ‘Learn not to worry about things that you cannot control.'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

The Company is currently investing £7m in its technology platform to provide the ability for individual travel counsellors and the company to take advantage of the opportunity that exists to grow rapidly.  The Company is trading significantly above pre-pandemic levels with sales expected to exceed £670m this year and £1b in a few years' time.   ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Martin Lewis. A man who spent a lifetime championing the consumer. As a financial journalist, he started a newsletter which grew and grew into the behemoth that is MoneySavingExpert.com. In 2012 he sold it for a purported £87 million, which makes Martin a very wealthy man; yet his passion for taking on the underdog and fighting for consumer rights has not dimmed. A joyful and energetic man with a passion for his work and his family, but how have his achievements shaped his midlife? Could he ever conceive of slowing things down? And is his game affected by those emerging aches and pains? Gabby is also joined by no-nonsense personal trainer and fitness guru, James Smith to demystify exercise, midlife, conficence and the menopause.

Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert has helped millions of people save money through consumer advice and big campaigns on bank charges and mis-sold PPI credit insurance. But now with the cost of living crisis, has he "run out of tools"? He grew up in a Jewish family in Cheshire. He lost his mother in an accident just before his 12th birthday, an event that had a lasting influence on him. He later became a journalist and financial campaigner, motivated by wanting to help others save money. The success of MoneySavingExpert made him a multi-millionaire. But the only thing that's flamboyant about him is his dancing style. He also loves Scrabble, even proposed to his wife over a game of it. He's obsessed with his daily step count, and has been known to hold meetings while on a treadmill. He's said to be the most trusted man in Britain - a heavy responsibility.

There are 40,000 customers of the POLAR network, also owned by Chargemaster, and they pay a monthly subscription, get it as part of their home energy tariff or use it on a pay-as-you-go basis. BP said: "Combining BP's and Chargemaster's complementary expertise, experience and assets is an important step towards offering fast and ultra-fast charging at BP sites across the UK and to BP becoming the leading provider of energy to low carbon vehicles, on the road or at home." David Martell Chief Exec of Chargemaster said: "I am truly excited to lead the Chargemaster team into a new era backed by the strength and scale of BP, which will help us maintain our market-leading position and grow the national POLAR charging network to support the large range of exciting new electric vehicles that are coming to market in the next couple of years" Business Green: "The move follows rival Shell's acquisition last year of European EV charging network Newmotion and provides the latest evidence that leading oil majors are looking to diversify into clean technologies. BP customers in the UK can expect to access BP Chargemaster chargers on forecourts over the next 12 months." This is small change in the grand scheme of the oil industry. Business Green add "The deal is the latest major low carbon investment from the company, which earlier this year returned to the solar market with its $200m investment in PV developer Lightsource, of which the oil giant now owns a 43 per cent share." BP predicts there will be 12 million electric cars on Britain's roads by 2040, a marked increase from the 135,000 in use last year. This Is Money: "In October last year, BP's rival, Shell, snapped up Dutch-based NewMotion, which is the owner of one of Europe's biggest electric charging networks" Fred at Electrek's take was; "f you have a weird feeling about an oil company buying into EV technology and companies, it’s maybe because you remember that oil companies once bought and killed some EV tech. Chevron did it with the battery tech in the original Toyota RAV4 EV and there were a few other examples with electric motors in the 1990s. But I think I can safely say that it won’t be repeated. EVs have become so mainstream this time around that killing off a few startups wouldn’t have a major impact." The Independent looks to the future: "It also plans to roll out ultra-fast charging equipment, which will include 150kW rapid chargers, which will take just 10 minutes to give cars enough energy to drive 100 miles."   HYUNDAI KONA UK PRICES               PANASONIC FLAGS BATTERY SHORTAGES "A senior Panasonic Corp official on Thursday said a pickup in production of Tesla Inc’s Model 3 cars, after earlier delays, has resulted in occasional battery shortages." accordingt to news agency Reuters: "Panasonic currently produces battery cells for Tesla in Japan as well as at Tesla’s so-called Gigafactory in the U.S. state of Nevada, which Panasonic jointly operates. Panasonic sees batteries as central to its plan to boost automotive business revenue to 2.5 trillion yen by the year through March 2022 from 1.8 trillion yen ($16.3 billion) estimated for this financial year." Yoshio Ito head of Panasonic’s automotive business, said at the company’s general shareholders meeting: "“There has been a sharp improvement in production equipment and we are now occasionally having battery shortages. I wouldn’t say the delay (in Tesla’s Model 3 production) had no impact on our business, but we are in close communications with Tesla and working to steadily improve production"   BYD WANTS THE BATTERY CROWN And although Elon Musk has often talked about creating the worlds biggest building, "BYD Co. is building what would become the world’s largest vehicle-battery factory next year in an effort by the Chinese electric-car maker to increase capacity and help revive earnings growth." If not by floor space, then by capacity. com say: "The plant will have an annual capacity of 24 gigawatt-hours when it is fully in use in 2019, enough to equip 1.2 million BYD Tang electric cars, according to the manufacturer backed by Warren Buffett. BYD invested $1.5 billion in the factory, which will help meet the company’s plan to boost its battery-making capability almost fourfold by 2020."   CARE BY VOLVO SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE LAUNCHES " Care by Volvo subscription service is about to debut its most desirable vehicle, as the S60 T8 Polestar Engineered sedan will be available exclusively via the (iOS-only) app starting at noon ET today" reportrs Engadget: "Only 20 of the AWD cars are coming to the US, with upgraded plug-in hybrid powertrains capable of 415HP thanks to a finely tuned ECU, 19-inch rims, upgraded suspension and gold-painted Brembo brake calipers. With the service, the cars will cost $1,100 that covers the car plus accompanying insurance and maintenance. The only things you'll need to pay for otherwise are taxes/registration fees and gas/electricity."   REVEALED: 34,000 FINED LAST YEAR FOR NOT TAXING VEHICLES WHICH ARE FREE TO TAX "Drivers paid over £500,000 in fines last year for not applying to tax vehicles which cost nothing to tax, data obtained by MoneySavingExpert.com shows." "Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that between April 2017 and April 2018 the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issued 34,012 penalties to the registered keepers of 'nil-rated' vehicles - vehicles which don't cost any money to tax." according to MoneySavingExpert.com Failure to register, even tho though it's registering to pay £0, could get you an £80 fine.   COMMUNITY MYEV.com – a new website from the team at InsideEVs.

Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, claims that Facebook has "dire controls" over who can buy adverts and that as a consequence his brand is regularly used as bait by scam firms. Facebook says that misleading ads are strictly prohibited from its platform and is constantly working to detect them. Evolve Politics has applied to join the lobby of Westminster journalists. Could the admission of the "hyper partisan" site shake up political reporting?

Spain’s political parties on Monday sealed a historic agreement against gender violence that seeks to protect women and their children from the moment a doctor identifies any signs of abuse. So far this year, 32 women and six minors have been killed in gender violence-related cases, up from figures for2016. At a historic court appearance on on Wednesday morning, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said that he had “absolutely no knowledge” about the possible existence of parallel accounts within his Popular Party (PP) that were allegedly used for opaque donations and illegal party financing. “I was never in charge of anything to do with accounting.” Madrid’s EMT municipal transportation company is set to hire 220 new maintenance workers between this year and next in a bid to combat the problem of fires breaking out on its fleet of buses. So far this year, a total of nine EMT vehicles have burst into flames, with two of these incidents taking place last week. Supporters of Catalan independence have received a new setback, with the latest poll carried out by the regional government’s Opinion Studies Center (CEO) showing public support for secession from Spain has dipped 3% since March. A senior German MEP has warned that two of the EU’s top Brexit chiefs want to “punish” Britain to stop other countries trying to leave the bloc. Hans-Olaf Henkel, the vice chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, urged the UK “not to listen” to Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, and Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator. .. Mr Henkel raised specific concerns about the UK Government’s plan to withdraw from the Euratom nuclear regulator which critics fear could make it difficult for Britain to access radioactive material for medical treatments post-Brexit. The European Commission warned Poland it was “getting very close” to taking the unprecedented step of stripping Warsaw of its voting rights at EU summits, unless it stepped back from reforms that would undermine judicial independence. Frans Timmermans, the Commission’s first-vice president, said the executive was prepared to take the so-called nuclear option of triggering Article 7 of the EU’s treaties. In the UK New petrol and diesel cars will be banned from 2040 to improve air quality. The crackdown could also see the introduction of levies on busy roads for owners of the most polluting vehicles.And hopes of a major scrappage scheme to help those who were encouraged to buy diesels appear to have been dashed.

Princes William and Harry had not seen their mother for almost a month before her death, they have revealed in a documentary about Diana’s life. Her divorce from Prince Charles meant the boys were ‘bounced’ between their parents, losing out on time with both of them, Harry said. She died the day before they were due to be reunited.

My guest on the podcast today is Tasneem Clarke, Research Officer at the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute. This is a really important conversation, and here's why. People with mental health problems are three times as likely to be in problem debt. The Money and Mental Health Institute was created to change that. They are an independent charity, committed to breaking the link between financial difficulty and mental health problems. To do this, Money and Mental Health conduct research, develop practical policy solutions and work in partnership with both those providing services and those using them to find what really works. The charity was launched last year by MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis, who funded it with a donation of two million pounds. My guest from Money and Mental Health is Research Officer Tasneem Clarke. Tasneem is a social worker currently practising in a mental health crisis team. She has previous experience conducting research for policy and campaigns work in various organisations including Oxfam, Earthrights International, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Tasneem about the link between money problems and mental health problems, why people fail to seek help when they need it, how different mental health issues make it harder to deal with personal finances, the impact of austerity on vulnerable members of society, gaps in the public health system when it comes to helping those with mental health and money problems, what the regulator and others are doing about the issue, and much more. Welcome to Money & Mental Health with Tasneem Clarke, in episode 190 of Informed Choice Radio.   Some questions I ask: -What's the relationship between mental health problems and money troubles? Does one cause the other? -Does a failure to talk about money contribute to these issues? -How can mental health problems affect the way we make important financial decisions? -What impact is austerity having on services for the most vulnerable in society? -Are there any particular gaps in our health system when it comes to mental health and money problems? -Is the Financial Conduct Authority doing enough? -What steps could the banks take to improve their services for people with mental health problems? -Where can people turn for help in times of a mental health and money crisis?   Thank you for listening!
