Michael Brodie, CEO and Founder of community-focused social network, joined us again to look at starting a business in Portugal. Before sharing notes on that, we set the grim scene for economic and business prospects, as well as looking at how social media can become a powerhouse of economic regeneration, rather than part of the problem.Our news and information sources:https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/facebook-boss-mark-zuckerberg-sees-22263580 https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/number-of-guests-and-overnight-stays-in-tourist-accommodation-fell-94-and-95-in-may/54682https://www.portugalresident.com/almost-half-portuguese-still-too-concerned-to-eat-in-restaurants-says-poll/ Be part of the solution discussed here: https://ournet.news/ ---Hear this episode as a podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2LlQ8FdfScefpuo7nge1at?si=uSh58lBCQDWH8GCwEhEt0g ---Our next Wine Club selection: http://cooppegoes.pt/en/adega-de-pegoes-touriga-nacional-3 Track Portugal forest fires here - https://fogos.pt'Digital seaweed' -https://sites.google.com/view/olabomdia/weather?authuser=0Subscribe to our YouTube channel here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONoNEVBaAyCFcY6QpaFvbA

Join me and I am joined LIVE by the bloomin' brilliant Carl Munson of OurNET and many other brilliant endeavours. We used to present together many moons ago so shall be interesting to natter again about all things holistic and see where it goes...

#bbc, #change, #control, #eu, #regulation, #socialintelligence, #tech, #transformation Has ‘Tech’ become darker and muddier in 2018? "Over these 12 months our relationship with tech has both been darker and more muddy because it becomes increasingly clear that all the bright and shiny positive potentials of tech are at the risk of being darkened by forced misuse of data, manipulation, supervision, no respect of the citizen, no respect of individual rights," says Margrethe Vestager the EU's Competition Commissioner. Commissioner Vestager, interviewed by Baroness Lane-Fox - a board member of Twitter and guest editor of this morning's Today radio programme on BBC Radio 4 - added that “while dismantling companies had served Brussels well in the past, the speed at which changes occurred in the tech sector made it a less appropriate response”. “Instead,” Vestager said, “the commission might look at how larger firms got access to data and resources in a bid to limit their power.” But will this really be the best solution? Isn’t this model how we’ve found ourselves in such a pretty pass? One that features giant corporations whose overwhelming power is barely matched by that of the bureaucrats, who we vainly hope might control them? Greater regulation and centralised government are ruled out here in our latest ‘ONversation’, where OurNet CEO Michael Brodie suggests: “Fiddling around with data protection is just whistling into the wind.” In our conversation, he asks the question: “Do we want to organise ourselves in a way that encourages people to push the boundaries and succeed extremely well by manipulating and using each other? Or do we want to start to reconsider the fundamental rules that we have?” For us at OurNet it’s back to the fundamental rules of ‘social intelligence’, not more of the status quo and standard way of competition and fear. The latter doesn’t seem to be working, and is actually the perfect recipe for a ‘dark and muddy’ Internet. Clearly, we need to change the way the system currently works; a system which rewards us when we misuse each other. We need a fundamental and systemic transformation that deals with the ‘split personality’ discussed in the podcast. We need to address how and why our sense of competitiveness is allowed to undermine our wish to care for, and support, each other. “What we know gives us satisfaction is connection with, and support of, other people”, says Michael Brodie who would rather see a ‘cult of care and support’ than the Internet’s pervasive cult of egocentricity, individualism and polarised opinion. That said, he does however believe that people are truly trying to do their best, however mis-guided their behaviour seems to be. A sentiment shared by Martha Lane-Fox who agrees that “everyone is trying to do their best and make things work”. “There is an increasing awareness of the fact that we really need to do something and to do that together,” she added. ‘Together’ is surely the key to any successful shift in a socially intelligent’ society that wishes to be enlightened and arise from the mud. And together, let’s co-create a happy and prosperous 2019 with a brighter, less murky Internet... Original BBC article:

It’s over ten years since I first came across Non-violent Communication (or NVC), thanks to my friend and guide Rev. Hilary Woollett. It’s the gift that keeps on giving from originator and master communicator Marshall Rosenberg, who formulated the first principles in 1960’s America.For OurNet, where my role sits largely within communication, I’m revisiting this profound methodology in the realms of ‘Communication for a World that Works’, i.e. a spotlight on a way of connecting with others, and ourselves, that can offer more of what I believe our hearts desire.OurNet is essentially an online community communication concept, and whilst creating a new context where communities can connect more richly, our aim is not to be prescriptive or dogmatic.I share this look at NVC with you, not necessarily as an endorsement or expectation, but as a possibility and point of reference, in a world where communication technology is increasingly sophisticated, yet the transmission and reception still often resorts to level: ‘primitive’.It would appear we humans are being blessed with a next-level Gutenberg moment, and with it an absolute deluge of potentially liberating information and awareness. But we seem to be struggling to move beyond our hard-wired reactions of polarity, conflict and war – even if our new weapon of choice is a keyboard.Hence the review of NVC. Here’s a way of lifting our relationships from the battlefield and into a more idealistic and experimental laboratory; ultimately into respect, love and compassion.In Oxford, UK, on a hot Spring day in 2008, I attended my first NVC workshop with renowned trainer and exponent Bridget Belgrave. In her enobling environment, a sign greeted us that asked: “Would you like to... • Be honest without insulting people • Be heard to your complete satisfaction • Handle conflict with consequence • Transform anger into positive communication • Never hear blame or criticism again • Inspire willing cooperation • Deepen good relationships • Enjoy people"Who wouldn’t want any, or all, of those blessings in their lives?So what follows is my conversation with Bridget, after the workshop, about Non-violent Communication, where I begin by attempting to put some NVC principles into practice.Later in the interview I ask Bridget a BIG question: Is there a massive mis-match between what people are feeling and needing, and what our society gives them?For that matter, are YOUR needs being met by the ‘common agreements’ of how our world operates in that curious and increasingly, ill-fitting place known as ‘normality’? If they’re not, if you feel like the proverbial ‘square peg’ you may wish to keep listening...Find out more about Bridget here: http://www.nvcdancefloors.com/More general information about NVC here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_CommunicationI finish with something my aforementioned friend Hilary said when I interviewed her about Nonviolent Communication: “We have a tremendous power in our world to think before we speak,” she said. “And to know that there is another way of doing it,” she added.Stay tuned for more ‘other ways’, here, on radio for a world that works...Diagram: William Huston - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication#/media/File:The_Inner_World_of_OFNR_(NVC).png

News Release: 02-10-17 - For Immediate Use World Changing Virtual Village Just a Change of Perception Away Without doubt, the Internet has been a giant leap for humankind, but its fullest potential has yet to be fulfilled for the greater and greatest good. So claim the people at OurNet who believe the Web can nourish the best aspects of humanity and its potential, despite disturbing trends like ‘fake news’ and trolling. OurNet is heralding a new way forward for humanity’s greatest technological achievement as concerns grow about the corporatisation, de-humanisation and centralisation of cyberspace. “OurNet is a ‘virtual village’ that works for all, not just for some – a new context and culture that re-humanises, refines and rewards the best of what we can be,” claims founder and visionary Michael Brodie who originally conceived the idea as a crowd sourced, crowd edited, online news magazine, over ten years ago. While some might see this as a course-correction for the Web, Brodie t
