"My quest always has been how to make peace more profitable than war… I think it's going to be my life legacy..."Imagine a world where creating peace is more profitable than engaging in conflict. A world of 'tech for good' , where technology bridges divides, fosters collaboration, and drives equitable solutions. This vision isn't just a dream; it's the driving force behind innovators like Yip, a leader in promoting peace, purpose, and equitable collaboration within the AI and Web3 spaces.A brilliant conversation full of purpose, curiosity, hope and opportunities. We explore the concept of making peace more profitable than war, the importance of democratizing access to skills and capital, and the vision behind yip's platform, Jedi, in fostering collaboration across emerging technologies. Remaining present and fully conscious of our actions and impact is key to this process. What if we could understand and implement regenerative economic and societal models that prioritize long-term impact and equity over short-term gains, particularly democratising access for all to more regenerative funding models. We discuss the idea and importance of technical and "human" readiness, to equip and educate people in this common challenge. Yip is running her first Zebracorn reatreat in June, to start bringing together these systems and minds. Link to find out more : https://www.systain3r.com/Yip shares her story, insight and dreams of the world she is consciously and collectively crafting to bridge the gap between digital and human for the common good. The man insights you'll get from this episode are : - Bridging gaps through a collective approach to complex problems at societal level. Inspired by Muhammed Yunus' efforts for (financial) inclusion for unbanked people, overcoming the limitations of capitalism with thoughtfulness.- Also inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh's promotion of compassion in communication and shaping corporate culture by bringing mindfulness to tech companies; a mindset of peace feeding into capitalism and technology to engage with them.- Constantly reinventing/rethinking and democratising access can change conversations in systems and communities; the vision for the J3d.AL platform is to make peace more profitable than war.- As an advisory platform, it invites people to become a Jedi or find their inner Jedi, sharpening their intuition and standing up for their values. It helps governments identify collaboration opportunities with each other and the private sector.- As a (market) intelligence platform, it helps identify opportunities for collaboration in emerging fields of technology not yet mature enough for the mainstream media, e.g. quantum computing, cybersecurity, space technology.- The philosophy behind it is to generate a body of knowledge and translate it on a semantic basis from one concept to another, facilitating mutual understanding to break down silos for collaboration to accelerate innovation.- J3d.AI has three areas of operations – technology, health and sustainability. Conferences and workshops teach the skills of foresight, wisdom, compassion, and understanding technology and regenerative systems thinking.- A ‘zebracorn' marries a zebra (a company that is both black and white, i.e. both profitable and works to improve society) with a unicorn (a billion-dollar market valuation company characterised by VC funding and exponential growth).- Zebracorns are totally doable in an age of tech and globalisation as tech brings down costs and its wise use can enable business; they remain open-minded about...

Shipbreaking Updated: The Most Dangerous Job in the World In mid 2024, students in Bangladesh organized mass protests and brought down the repressive government of Sheikh Hasana. The country is now under a caretaker government of Muhammed Yunus, a Nobel Laureate who is attempting reforms. Months before this Monsoon Revolution, we told you about shipbreaking, the waste management of industrial ships sent to Bangladesh that has been dubbed “the most dangerous job in the world.” Guest Rizwana Hasan was then the country's only environmental lawyer and fierce advocate against the shipbreaking industry. Today, she is the new government's Adviser for Environment, Forest and Climate Change. What has changed for shipbreakers under this new government. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele revisits last year's episode and catches up with Human Rights Watch researcher Julia Bleckner to understand this new moment in Bangladesh, and how it will impact shipbreaking. Julia Bleckner: Senior Researcher for the Asia Division and Global Health Initiative at Human Rights Watch Rizwana Hasan: Adviser for Environment, Forest and Climate Change of Bangladesh

Im Sommer 2024 musste die autokratische Regierung nach landesweiten Protesten zurücktreten. Seitdem führt eine Interimsregierung unter Nobelpreisträger Muhammed Yunus – bekannt als «Banker der Armen» - die Geschäfte. Doch die Gewalt nimmt zu, die Preise bleiben hoch und Reformen fehlen. Shima Akhter, 24, geht schon wieder demonstrieren. «Die Situation ist gefährlicher als im Juli und August». Damals hatten Studierende nach wochenlangen Protesten das autokratische Regime der Regierungschefin Sheikh Hasina aus dem Amt verjagt. Mehr als 1400 Menschen verloren nach UNO-Schätzungen ihr Leben im Kugelhagel der Polizei. Hasina und ihre Partei Awami League hatten das Land 15 Jahre lang mit eiserner Faust regiert, die Wahlen gefälscht und Meinungsfreiheit unterdrückt. Nach ihrem Rücktritt versprach Nobelpreisträger Muhammad Yunus demokratische Reformen. Doch die Kriminalität steigt, die extreme Armut auch. Zehntausende Textilarbeiterinnen und -arbeiter haben ihre Arbeit verloren. Das Vertrauen schwindet, dass Dr. Yunus und seine Interimsregierung die Lage in den Griff bekommen. «Die Flitterwochen sind vorbei», urteilt Polit-Ökonom Parviz Abbasi aus Dhaka. Jeder habe zwar gewusst, dass der Weg steinig werde. Aber niemand habe realisiert, dass die Übergangsregierung nicht in der Lage sein würde, Antworten zu liefern.

While the problems Prof. Yunus and Saskia Bruysten, CEOs and co-founders of Yunus Social Business, hope to solve may seem impossible, the way they laid out the path to success in this episode of the OMR Podcast, impossible seems plausible.

In this inspiring episode Dr Jim Garrison draws upon his many years and stories of working with some of the world's most historic and influential leaders (such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Jane Goodall, Muhammed Yunus and Mother Theresa) to share his views on the kind of leadership required to successfully deal with 'hyper-complexity' through 'regenerative leadership'. Leaders now need to employ 'ruthless realism', to facilitate the 'collective' in a 'synergistic and multi-disciplinary way', 'interact with diversity', and cultivate 'imagination'. Jim was there in person with the Politburo and the Government when the Soviet Union collapsed through a 'lack of creative leadership' and learned that it is vital now and in the future to 'shapeshift organizationally'. So much insight here into a new model of leadership, a model that serves humanity while generating profit not depletes it. Dr Jim Garrison is the founder and president of Ubiquity University and the convener of Humanity Rising. He came to this having served as president of Wisdom University which he led from 2005 – 2012, after which he led its transition into Ubiquity University, established in 2012. Jim has spent his entire professional life in executive leadership, including as co-founder and president of the Gorbachev Foundation/USA (1992 – 1995) and State of the World Forum (1995 – 2004) with Mikhail Gorbachev serving as convening chairman. Jim received his B.A in History from the University of Santa Clara, an MA in History of Religion from Harvard University, and a PhD in Philosophical Theology from Cambridge University. He has written numerous books, including The Plutonium Culture, America as Empire, The Darkness of God: Theology after Hiroshima, Citizen Diplomacy, and Civilization and the Transformation of Power. He lectures regularly on comparative philosophy and religion, world history and politics, and the implications of global warming.

Seine Berufsbezeichnung müsste eigentlich Tausendsassa lauten, denn Hans Reitz ist auf so vielen Partys unterwegs, dass es mit einer Berufsbezeichnung nicht getan ist. Sein Broterwerb ist das Eventmanagement, das er mit seiner Firma Circ in Wiesbaden für Konzerne, Kommunen und Privatleute anbietet. Weltbekannt geworden ist Reitz mit seinem Engagement für und mit Muhammad Yunus, dem Friedensnobelpreisträger von 2006. Er wirbt für Social Business, eine Form des Wirtschaftens, bei dem ein soziales Problem mit dem Werkzeug der Marktwirtschaft gelöst wird; die Gewinne fließen aber unmittelbar in das Unternehmen zurück. Angefangen hat alles mit einer Zeit in Indien, mit Zirkus und vielen vielen prominenten Menschen, die Reitz mittlerweile durch seine Tätigkeiten kennt, wie er im Podcast „Schröder trifft“ erzählt. Dazu gehören die Clintons, die Gates, gekrönte Häupter von Spanien bis Luxemburg und viele Top-Manager.

Heute vor 80 Jahren wurde der bengalische Wirtschaftswissenschafter und Friedensnobelpreisträger Muhammed Yunus geboren.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Teaching Change. Since the last episode, Courtney has presented at the Florida Library Association Conference. Her presentation focused on how the Valencia East Book Nerds, the student club she advises, has helped its members succeed in their personal and academic lives. Meanwhile, Jerrid took a group of students on a field trip to First Green Bank to learn about its sustainability program. Kyle Sanders, the manager of the Winter Park branch, was a great host as the group learned about several of the bank’s initiatives such as energy efficiency, LEED-certified building material, recycling, and solar roof panels.The conversation turns to Chris Miller’s blog post “10 Things Social Entrepreneurship is Not.” Chris Miller is the founder and CEO of Mission Center L3C. Jerrid is quite fond of the list because it covers common misconceptions that he has encountered during the course of his work.At the top of the list is social entrepreneurship is not Facebook. As social media continues to be a ubiquitous part of society, it may come as no surprise that some people confuse the two. However, social entrepreneurship has more to do with business practices and social value than it does with likes and posting. Sure, Facebook can be used as a tool to promote businesses that may include social entrepreneurs, but the purpose of each is quite different.Jerrid and Courtney also cover the blog’s assertions that social entrepreneurship is not charity, not necessarily nonprofit, and that it is most definitely not anti-profit. TOMS Shoes, which has been quite profitable, is a great example of this criteria. At TOMS Shoes, every time someone purchases a pair of shoes another pair is donated.In another part of the world, India’s Grameen Bank also exemplifies how social entrepreneurship is not a synonym for charity. Founded by Muhammed Yunus, Grameen gives microloans to people who need small loans but are not eligible for traditional loans because they do not have capital. Muhammed Yunus and his bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.The rest of Miller’s list is reviewed, including social entrepreneurship not being a fad and not being about corporate responsibility. All of the “not” talk ultimately leads to a clearer understanding of how social entrepreneurship operates and how it impacts the world.Teaching Change Shout-outsFor more information on topics discussed during the show, see the list below.“10 Things Social Entrepreneurship is Not” by Chris MillerFirst Green BankGrameen Bank

This is an inaugural podcast of the Synergia Foundation and we present Bangladeshi Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammed Yunus. Dr. Yunus spoke and interacted with an invited audience in Bangalore at the foundation office, and as one would expect, spoke about the Grameen Bank that he founded, and his lifetime work with micro credit. But there was one other issue that was a recurring subject of his talk, and something about which he spoke with deep concern, and urgency. It was about unequal distribution of wealth and its concentration in the hands of very few individuals. The 'Banker of the Poor', as Dr. Yunus is popularly known, revealed an astonishing statistic. He said, as of today, about eight people own more wealth than the bottom fifty per cent of the world. He wondered if this humungous inequality had led to the rise of the alternative right or alt right across the globe? Because the alt right essentially exploits the frustration and poverty of the masses. In the same breath he spoke about the world’s rigged financial system, about growing unemployment, about jobs converting people into little robots, and of course about Donald Trump. When it came to Trump, he very significantly said one man can’t change the world and we shouldn't allow him to. That was both hope and resistance.

In the last three months, many economists have spoken on India’s experiment with demonetisation. Listen to this comment by Dr. Muhammed Yunus, the Bangladeshi Nobel laureate who has worked for the longest period with the informal economy. This was during an interactive session at the Synergia Foundation recently. The full podcast of his session at Synergia is available on the Sunoh Station channel.
