Meet Hawah Kasat -- who gave a startling TEDx talk on How Greed Could Save the World.  What???  Isn't greed what's destroying the world?   In a world that is crumbling between our fingers, is it possible that traditional non-profits are actually distracting us from solving the underlying problems that make them needed in the first place?   Hawah invites us to reflect more deeply on whether we are spending our time and energy effectively.  What if we fundamentally rethink what nonprofits and businesses look like?  What if we start with the premise that helping a few struggling people when millions are suffering is not good enough? What if we get more greedy and stop being content with anything less than lasting, systems-level change?​Hawah has dedicated his life to teaching about solutions to violence and ways to peace.​He is Founder of “One Common Unity,” a non-profit that inspires a culture of non-violence through music, arts, and education. Author of 4 books, he produced 4 documentary films (including the acclaimed “Fly By Light”), 2 musical CDs, and is the creator/editor of “The Poetry of Yoga” book anthology featuring Grammy award-winning musicians and master yoga teachers. In 2019, Hawah was the recipient of Georgetown University's “Legacy of a Dream” award honoring an inspirational emerging leader whose work embodies the values and spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.​Hawah also interviewed David Gallup of the World Citizen Government on his podcast The Everlutionary Podcast!​hawahkasat.com--- See the video and ask questions of future guests at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theworldismycountry.com/club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.

Have you ever felt the grief of blocked passion? Like you're fighting an uphill battle? Author and non-profit leader Hawah Kasat understands these experiences well and joins Jenn in this episode to talk about how he faced the red tape, competitive fundraising, and the feeling that you're just not doing enough with his non-profit One Common Unity for 20 years. He shares the failures of the non-proft sector and how its shortcomings left him with a loss of hope and worries that he's been doing the wrong work for decades. Hawah also speaks about the loss of his mentee, Nate, to gun violence and the challenge of showing up as a community leader and holding space when deling with that loss himself. Listen for a profound conversation about the barriers to systemic change that we face as a society, the grief we feel as a result of injustice and harm, and Hawah's vision for a better way forward.   Resources: Connect with Hawah on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn Learn more about Hawah's work on his website: https://hawah.us/ Listen to Hawah's TedX Talk ‘How Greed Could Save the World'   Looking for more support?

Hawat Kasat has spent each moment of his life trying to leave the world a little better than he found it. He identifies as an Artist, Author, Educator, Yoga Instructor, Community Organizer, and Non-profit Leader; in our interview, however, he reveals that he most identifies with the label of Poet. In this episode, Hawah tells us about his experiences on the front-lines of social activism early in his life, as well as the time he spent in India learning how to meditate. Both sets of experiences - the political and contemplative - created a visionary leader who now runs One Common Unity, a non-profit he co-founded over 18 years ago that supports peace education and the building of a non-violent culture through music and art. We learn that the common threads in all of Hawah’s experiences are curiosity, consciousness and joy. And while he always feels like there is more to be done, there’s no question that he’s an example to us all for how to make a positive impact on the world. More Hawah: https://hawah.us
