Listen as Bryan shares how personal loss led him to reimagine an ancient art form for modern times.

Healthcare is personal. Whether it's a baby in Uganda struggling to breathe or a father in New York contracting MERS after surgery, individual experiences matter more than national statistics. Can innovative technology solve what ails us? Dr. Kristian Olson, a Harvard internist, pediatrician, and global health designer, thinks so. As founder of the Center for Affordable Medical Technology (CAMTech) and a 2024 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize winner, he's transforming healthcare in low-income countries through human-centered design. Can smart tech make us healthier? Tune in to explore. This episode was originally published on November 27, 2024.

Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king,” highlighting drama's power. That same force drives The Trojan Women Project, created by Charlotte Eagar and William Stirling. The project uses Euripides' ancient play to help refugees from the Middle East and Ukraine cope with trauma, combining classical text with lived experience for both therapy and insight. Charlotte and William have worked on this project for over a decade. The Tällberg Foundation first met them in 2014 when they brought Syrian refugee cast members to a workshop. The performance of The Trojan Women was powerful, raw, and deeply personal. In this episode, the filmmakers discuss how theater can heal and transform both refugees and audiences.

Despite its vast natural wealth, the Democratic Republic of Congo is trapped in cycles of war, corruption, and foreign meddling. Armed militias, reportedly backed by Rwanda, have seized parts of the mineral-rich east, raising fears of wider conflict and possible regime change. Journalist and author Michela Wrong joins the podcast to unpack the stakes of Congo's latest crisis—and why it matters beyond the region. Her recent Foreign Affairs article, “How Far Will Rwanda Go in Congo?” offers key insights into a conflict that echoes global struggles over resources, borders, and power.

The Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, ignited another cycle of devastation, leaving countless lives lost or shattered—mostly Palestinian, but also Israeli. Beyond rebuilding roads and houses, how can people on both sides heal from the hate, despair, and fear that fuel ongoing violence? This episode of New Thinking for a New World shifts the focus from political plans to the human reality of those forced to coexist. Italian journalist Francesca Borri, reporting from Jenin, and Israeli activist Gershon Baskin, deeply committed to coexistence, share their insights. Is peace possible?

Donald Trump has long criticized the EU, calling it unfair to the U.S. and favoring tariffs and direct deals with Moscow over cooperation with allies. His shift on Ukraine—from Biden's full support to “Stop the killing”—has further strained transatlantic ties, with European leaders calling him a “traitor” and warning that U.S. unpredictability is a bigger threat than Russia. But could Trump's hostility push Europe to take control of its own future? In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, former foreign ministers Ana Palacio of Spain and Vygaudas Usackas of Lithuania explore whether Trump's presidency might, ironically, be just what Europe needs.

Pastor Charlene teaches on the need to renew our mind to Kingdom thinking in all areas of our lives.

Winston Churchill once said, “A free press is the unsleeping guardian of every other right… the most dangerous foe of tyranny.” Today, as trust in governments and media erodes, we see how deeply connected they are. María Teresa Ronderos, co-founder of the Latin American Center for Investigative Journalism (CLIP) and 2024 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize winner, is working to restore faith in journalism. She believes honest, smart reporting is the key to countering misinformation and that technology, when used right, can strengthen democracy. Good journalism, she insists, is more vital than ever. **This episode was originally published on December 5, 2024.**

Louise Radnofsky, sports reporter for the Wall Street Journal, joins the show to discuss a new way in treating sports concussions known as the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test. The BCTT puts emphasis on a return to physical activity rather than prolonged rest and avoidance of light.

Donald Trump has been president for just five weeks, yet the whirlwind of executive orders, budget cuts, nominations, and sweeping policy shifts has made it feel much longer. His rapid-fire approach signals an intent not only to reshape Washington but to redefine America's role in the world. No modern president has begun with such relentless activity, prompting an early assessment rather than the traditional hundred-day review. To explore these developments, the Tällberg Foundation hosted a webinar featuring Alan Stoga, Tällberg's chairman, in conversation with Aziz Huq, a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago, and Scott Miller, a strategist advising businesses, politicians, and governments worldwide.

We live in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world that is transforming how we learn, create, and interact. Ideally, this transformation would make people smarter, healthier, and more prosperous. But the reality is far from perfect—too many people lack the skills to navigate modern life, leaving them struggling to keep up. A massive OECD study of adult skills across 31 countries reveals a troubling trend: literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving abilities are stagnating or declining, just when societies need them most. In this episode, Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills at the OECD, discusses these findings with host Alan Stoga. Are we equipped for the future, or is technology outpacing our ability to adapt?

The Amazon rainforest, with its vast influence on global weather, its rivers supplying a quarter of the world's freshwater, and its role as home to 10% of known lifeforms, is crucial to the planet. This week on New Thinking for a New World, Colombian marine biologist Fernando Trujillo, a 2024 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize winner and National Geographic Explorer of the Year, discusses his efforts to protect the Amazon's freshwater basin amid record drought, historically low river levels, and rising water temperatures. Can the Amazon's decline be stopped? Tune in to hear his insights. This episode was originally published on December 11, 2024.

We live in a violent and complex world—wars, mass migrations, cartel violence, climate disasters, and pandemics shape our daily reality. Yet, despite constant exposure to brutality, many of us still feel appalled, angered, and outraged. That's due in large part to journalists who bring these stories to light—not to shock, but to deepen our understanding of the world as it truly is. Fabio Bucciarelli is one of them. A world-class photojournalist and storyteller, he documents some of the most dangerous places on Earth. Listen as he shares what drives him to keep returning to the front lines, capturing the stories that must be told.

When leaders fail, democracy suffers—and too many are failing today. That's why the Tällberg Foundation has spent a decade honoring bold, innovative leaders with global vision and universal values. The 2024 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize winners—Kristian Olson (global healthcare innovator), María Teresa Ronderos (press freedom advocate), and Fernando Trujillo (Amazon conservationist)—recently gathered in Italy to discuss their leadership journeys, lessons from failure, and future challenges. Hear their insights on tackling today's pressing issues—then share your thoughts.

The start of 2025 brings a cascade of global challenges: the war in Ukraine, Middle East conflicts, tensions around Taiwan, environmental crises, and uncertainty about Donald Trump's return to the presidency. While these dominate headlines, the global threat of terrorism has largely faded from public concern. Al-Qaeda is weakened, ISIS is defeated, and Iran's influence appears diminished, leaving many to believe the era of major terrorist threats is behind us. But what if this complacency is misplaced? Dr. Rohan Gunaratna, a renowned expert on global terrorism, argues that the threat is rising. He shares why urgent, coordinated action is needed to address this growing danger before it's too late. Are we overlooking the risk of a new wave of extremist violence?

When Donald Trump becomes the 49th President of the United States, the world will be watching. For many Americans, however, Trump never really went away. His return to power—winning the Republican primaries, taking control of the party, and securing a majority of the national vote—feels almost inevitable. While many view him as a narcissistic sociopath, his undeniable power stems from his unique bond with a majority of American voters. Understanding Trump means understanding his supporters. This episode of New Thinking for a New World explores why a majority of Americans chose Trump and what that means for his presidency. Scott Miller, a seasoned political and corporate consultant, shares his insights into Trump's rise and the implications for America and the world. Listen now—and let us know what you think!

In a world overflowing with information, facts often fuel division rather than informed discussions, as individuals promote their own narratives. Technology, much like the runaway broom in Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice, often exacerbates the chaos instead of resolving it. But what if open-source information and intelligent technology could simplify complexities and illuminate the truth? Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, is striving to make this a reality. In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, Higgins shares how Bellingcat leverages online open-source investigations to separate fact from fiction and bring clarity to an increasingly tangled digital landscape. This podcast episode was originally published on May 23, 2024, and has been re-released.

The Arctic, warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet, serves as a critical climate indicator, with the 2023 Arctic Report Card documenting the hottest summer in centuries, severe wildfires, ice melt, and rising sea temperatures—trends continuing in 2024. Amid concerns about tipping points and continuous warming, large-scale adaptation in the Arctic and Antarctica remains vital. Finnish environmental leader and Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Prize recipient Tero Mustonen, fresh from the Arctic, shares a rare firsthand account of these efforts. *This podcast episode was originally published on June 27, 2024, and has been re-released.

Politics in Mexico is fiercely competitive and violent. Last month's elections saw Claudia Sheinbaum become the first female president with record votes, while her Morena party achieved significant victories. However, over 100 political assassinations and various acts of violence by drug cartels marred the campaign. This political violence is spreading across Latin America. Can the cartels be stopped? Is Mexico becoming a narco-state? Chris Dalby, an expert on cartel violence and founder of World of Crime, explores the cartels' objectives and methods. *This podcast episode was originally published on July 11, 2024, and has been re-released.

In 2015, the world pledged to achieve gender equality by 2030 as part of the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals. Nearly a decade later, it's clear the target won't be met, with the World Economic Forum estimating gender parity is still 131 years away. While some progress has been made, particularly in Europe and North America, much of the Global South lags behind—though countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Singapore, and Chile are notable exceptions. Achieving real change demands a fundamental shift in thinking and action. That's why we invited Zubaida Bai, CEO of the Grameen Foundation, to join us on New Thinking for a New World. She believes gender equality is not only essential but achievable—if we focus on bold, systemic change.

Youth mental health is in crisis. Globally, one in seven adolescents faces mental disorders, with depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues leading to illness and even suicide. In Africa, where 60% of the population is under 24, young people are particularly affected by climate shocks, inflation, and violence. What solutions exist? Dr. Olayinka Omigbodun, founder of the Centre for Child and Adolescent Mental Health at Nigeria's University of Ibadan and the first woman Provost of its College of Medicine, has dedicated her career to finding answers.

In this episode, Mariana speaks with Alan Stoga, Chairman of the Tallberg Foundation and Host of the New Thinking for a New World podcast, about the importance of the U.S. elections, the state of U.S. politics and about the difference in trade, migration and economic policies of the two candidates. They also discuss the impact of the different policies could have in Mexico and the space Mexico's new President, Claudia Sheinbaum, will have to navigate under each of the two candidates.

Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have long felt abandoned by the world, facing deadly, low-intensity conflict with Israel. The October 7th attacks and the brutal response have made it impossible to imagine a return to the previous, unstable status quo. But all wars end, and survivors, especially Gaza's youth, will bear lasting scars. Could this tragedy lead to a better future and even a Palestinian state, or will the crisis persist? Our guest, Italian war reporter Francesca Borri, has lived in the West Bank since 2007, respected by both Arabs and Israelis. Notably, she was the first Western journalist to interview Yahya Sinwar, facilitating direct talks between Hamas and Israel.

Over 250 years ago, Robert Burns wrote, "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." His words resonate today as millions are forced to flee their homes due to war, climate change, poverty, and more. Yet, overcrowded camps, drownings, and forced returns too often await them. Instead of focusing on solutions, much of the effort goes into stopping migration. In this episode, Sasha Chanoff, founder of RefugePoint, discusses innovative solutions to help refugees in extreme danger and how we can change the future for migrants worldwide.

It's not standard issue! It's personal! It's specific!

This week, your host, Dan Neumann, discusses his perspective on the influence of Artificial Intelligence on Agile Teams. AI has created excitement and great expectations, undoubtedly changing how we perceive work and raising some concerns. In this episode, Dan dives deep into how Generative AI can impact Agile Teams' work, describing AI's use in this field and using valuable examples to describe several manners to incorporate AI to ease the work at different stages of an Agile process.   Key Takeaways Generative AI, a new thinking partner to Agile Teams: There are sensitivities around using the free AI models currently available. AI could be considered a great partner in addition to Team Members. The definition of done for each project cannot be delegated to AI, since the Team needs to determine the pros and cons, define the goals, and what it means to achieve them. Miro AI can be used as a Retrospective partner to examine the retrospective data the Team has been collecting. It can also help provide different ways of facilitating Retrospectives. AI is helpful to Delivery Teams in predicting releases. Agile Teams can use the Monte Carlo Simulation to predict a Team's velocity by looking at historical data to create a range of future possibilities. Sprint planning could be simpler with the aid of AI. An Agile Team can seek AI help to provide other work items that might support the original Sprint Goal, based on the product backlog. How can AI assist in dealing with bottlenecks? AI can help identify some bottleneck trends based on the existing delivery data. AI as a tool for Product Owners and Quality Specialists to identify Acceptance Criteria: AI can assist Product Owners and Quality Specialists in defying product backlog Item acceptance criteria. To generate new acceptance criteria, test cases can be generated using an AI public tool or a technology ecosystem like Microsoft Copilot. Using Microsoft Copilot, a Team can look at the sentiment in which you are engaging with your Teammates. By searching the Team's chat emails, AI can help you anticipate potential issues. Ai can provide strategies to tackle a potential social challenge that might be reflected in the Team's communication. AI can use your historical information for risk management. AI can help a Team identify risks and develop strategies to solve them or even when to accept those risks since the cost of mitigating them exceeds the Team's capabilities. Agile Teams can use AI for prioritization. AI can explore big data, search for information on costs and benefits, and provide useful suggestions for prioritization.   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian diplomat and Princeton scholar, offers insights into Pezeshkian's presidency, Iran's future, and what it means to be a "reformer" in Iran's complex political landscape.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that may reshape your views on the inevitable. This episode was originally published on February 1, 2024.

In today's world, facts are everywhere, but instead of fostering informed discussions, many people push their own "facts." Technology, like the broom in Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice, has run amok. Wouldn't it be better if open-source information and smart tech clarified issues instead of complicating them? Fortunately, people like Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, are working to achieve this. Listen to this episode of New Thinking for a New World as Higgins discusses how Bellingcat separates fact from fiction through online open-source investigation. This episode was originally published on May 23, 2024.

Welcome back F.A.B. Fam! This week the ladies review “The Resilience Myth, New Thinking on Grit, Strength, and Growth After Trauma” by Soraya Chemaly. In this thought-provoking exploration, cultural critic Soraya Chemaly challenges our most dearly held, common myths of resilience and dismantles the notions of resilience rooted in the philosophies of mind over matter, “mental toughness,” “strength,” and “positive thinking,” arguing that our modern version of “resilience” is a bill of goods sold to us by capitalism, colonialism, and ideologies that embrace supremacy over others. *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

Israel is at war, not just with external enemies like Hamas, Iran, and the Houthis, but also with itself. Even before October 7th, internal conflicts were dividing the country. Today, over three-quarters of Israelis are concerned about deep political rifts, and more than half worry about religious versus secular tensions. Amidst the war, these divides persist, highlighted by a recent extremist breach of an army base. This episode focuses on the human impact of these conflicts. In this episode, hear from Liora Hardar, a West Bank settler and peace activist, and Naty Barak, a kibbutz resident and sustainability expert, as they share their perspectives on the ongoing tragedy.

The Middle East is a tinderbox, with conflicts across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, and Israel, any of which could spark a larger war. Yemen, where Iranian-backed Houthis control much of the population and are attacking Red Sea shipping and Israel, is a key flashpoint. Our guest, Allison Minor, a Middle East expert at the Brookings Institution, discusses how these tensions could escalate into a broader regional conflict and whether a general war can be avoided.
