Tomorrowland is one of Europe's best-known festivals.Less known is that it quietly helped create one of Europe's most interesting corporate-startup matchmaking platforms.In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm speaks with Joris Beckers, Co-Founder of Love Tomorrow, and Mats Raes, Event Director of Love Tomorrow and The Impact Circle, about how a sustainability initiative evolved into an open innovation platform connecting startups, corporates, investors and public institutions.The conversation starts with a simple idea: Tomorrowland is not just a festival. It is a temporary city of more than 75,000 people per day, facing many of the same challenges as any major city, from energy and water to waste, mobility and logistics.That insight led to Love Tomorrow, Tomorrowland's official sustainability and innovation platform. As startups, corporates and public institutions increasingly began using the festival as a real-world testing ground for innovation, one challenge remained: connecting promising technologies with customers, deployment partners and smart capital.The result was The Impact Circle, Europe's exclusive innovation network for impactful entrepreneurship. Through challenge-led collaboration, curated startup selection and partnerships including the European Innovation Council's Corporate Partnership Programme, The Impact Circle brings together startups, corporates, investors and public institutions around shared innovation challenges.Joris and Mats explain how Tomorrowland became a stress test for innovation, why corporates increasingly engage as deployment partners rather than sponsors, and how The Impact Circle helps move innovation from pilot projects to real-world adoption.Key highlightsWhy Tomorrowland describes itself as a "hyper-compressed city"How Love Tomorrow evolved from a sustainability initiative into an open innovation platformWhy startups need real-world testing environmentsHow innovation is stress-tested in real-world conditionsWhy corporates increasingly act as deployment partnersThe role of venture clienting in startup growthWhy "smart capital" led to the creation of The Impact CircleThe Impact Circle's partnership with the European Innovation CouncilHow curated ecosystems improve innovation adoptionWhat investors, founders and corporates can expect from Love Tomorrow Summit and The Impact CircleTimestamps(00:00) Introduction(01:00) From Tomorrowland to Love Tomorrow(06:40) The "hyper-compressed city" thesis(11:00) Why startups need real-world testing environments(13:20) Why The Impact Circle was created(16:40) How The Impact Circle works(20:30) Venture clienting, corporates and startup deployment(23:20) Love Tomorrow Summit vs The Impact Circle(24:00) What makes Tomorrowland different from traditional conferences(26:20) Who should attend and why(28:30) Final thoughtsMore informationLove Tomorrow Summit takes place on 23 July 2026 at Tomorrowland's iconic grounds in Boom, Belgium.

Business agility has become a defining capability for organizations operating in today's environment of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). But while many companies focus on operational flexibility or technology investments, fewer understand the critical role finance plays in enabling true agility across the business.In this episode of The CFO Show, Melissa Howatson speaks with Mitch Max, founder of BetterVu and Executive in Residence for the Association of Financial Professionals, about what separates organizations that survive from those that thrive during disruption. Drawing on research and decades of experience in enterprise performance management, Mitch shares how agility is less about tools and more about culture, decision-making, and embedded finance leadership.Together, they explore:The difference between finance agility and true business agilityWhy only a small percentage of companies outperform during volatilityThe “sense, decide, act” model for faster, more effective decision-makingHow finance teams act as early warning systems and strategic partnersThe role of EPM systems in enabling real-time planning and collaborationHow to manage data overload and focus on actionable insightsWhere AI is delivering value today, from automation to advanced analyticsWhether navigating economic uncertainty, implementing new planning systems, or redefining the role of finance, this conversation offers practical guidance for CFOs and finance leaders looking to build more agile, resilient organizations.

The gender divide is tearing through every corner of our lives right now, and honestly? It's fucking confusing out there. While ambitious women are crushing it in boardrooms and lecture halls, we're watching a crisis of masculinity unfold in real time—and the dating challenges that follow are enough to make you want to swipe left on humanity altogether.How did we get to a place where traditional gender roles feel both completely outdated and weirdly appealing again, where toxic masculinity battles with something called "tonic masculinity," and where the trad wife movement is somehow trending on the same timeline as record-breaking female college enrollment? If you're watching this cultural battlefield from the middle like I am, wondering what the hell happened to just... connecting with people, then buckle up because we're about to unpack why everyone feels so damn lost.In today's episode, we're talking about everything from the rise of incels to why Gen Z is rushing back to church, plus the real tea on why building meaningful friendships in adulthood feels harder than landing your dream job. This isn't about picking sides—it's about understanding how gender and mental health, modern family dynamics, and our collective fear of rejection are shaping the way we love, work, and show up in the world.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the gender divide is creating an 80/20 dating crisis that's leaving high-achieving women struggling to find equal partnersThe shocking data behind the crisis of masculinity—including why suicide rates among young men are skyrocketing and what it means for all of usHow toxic masculinity versus tonic masculinity is reshaping what it means to be a man in 2025 (and why Tim Walz is the perfect example)The real political agenda behind the trad wife movement and why "prairie core" isn't as innocent as those sourdough starters make it seemWhy 60% of college students are now women and how this educational flip is changing modern family gender roles foreverThe connection between avoidance of pain, dating challenges, and why everyone's rushing back to traditional gender normsHow ambitious women are burning out trying to prove their worth while simultaneously being told to "lean back" into feminine energyThe surprising strategy for building deep friendships in adulthood that actually works (hint: it involves getting comfortable with rejection)If this episode hit a nerve, GOOD! It means you're awake and ready to stop avoiding the hard conversations that actually change things. The state of gender roles is playing out in every boardroom, bedroom, and dating app, and understanding why we've ended up here gives you serious power to navigate it all differently.So tell me: which part of this cultural shift resonates most with your own experience? Are you feeling the dating struggles, the friendship challenges, or maybe you're questioning everything you thought you knew about modern gender norms?If you're ready to build something meaningful in your business, relationships, or leadership while working through any of this cultural chaos, book a free strategy call with me at allisonhare.com/freecall to find your voice in this shifting landscape.Links & Mentioned Resources"The Mask You Live In" - Documentary by Jennifer Newsome (Gavin Newsom's wife) about how boys are socialized to suppress emotionsThe Lost Boys Study - Research from The Center for Social Justice (UK-based organization) examining educational and economic disparities affecting young menEmily in Your Phone - Substack newsletter by Emily Amick discussing the political undertones of the tradwife movementLaunch your podcast - Book a free clarity call with AllisonNotable Time Stamps00:01 - Episode introduction: The elephant in the gender studies room and why everything feels confusing right now02:30 - Growing up in the 90s: How women were socialized to be small, pleasant, and pick-me girls06:45 - The makeup bag story: Personal reflection on teenage socialization and the need to "present perfectly"09:15 - The Lost Boys Study: Data on how men are struggling educationally, economically, and mentally12:20 - Male suicide crisis: Why suicide is now the leading cause of death for men under 5014:10 - "The Mask You Live In" documentary discussion: How boys are limited to only two emotions17:35 - Toxic vs. tonic masculinity explained (Tim Walz as an example)19:45 - The incel movement and Andrew Tate's influence on frustrated young men25:30 - The tradwife movement: Political undertones behind the "prairie core" aesthetic31:20 - Personal story: Leaving corporate job and unlearning "never rely on a man" messaging36:15 - Modern dating crisis: The 80/20 problem and educational gender flip40:25 - Friendship struggles: The shame of not having a best friend as a high-performing woman43:50 - Coach Dara's friendship strategy: Being upfront about wanting deep connections48:30 - Avoidance of pain as the root of cultural problems52:15 - Final thoughts on connection, rejection, and getting out of comfort zones Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Today's topic is female friendship, and to be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed by the responsibility.I hear your stories about the intensity, cattiness, and drama of female friendships, but to tell you the truth, it's been a long time since my friendships involved those extreme experiences. Due to my life's circumstances, I had to approach friendship differently. Friends are my support system, and I will do all I can – even if it's uncomfortable – to risk losing a friendship.Which is why I'm so glad to have a female friendship expert on today: Danielle Bayard Jackson, host of the Friend Forward podcast, is a coach, educator, and author of Fighting for Our Friendships, which is a total game-changer and a book I cannot recommend enough.Today, we talk about all the depth and complexities of this relationship – including, most importantly, the joy of female friendships, which, at their height, allow us to be seen and accepted for who we are.In this episode you'll hear about:Danielle's background as an English teacher, where she observed the academic impact friendship had on her studentsThe fragility of female friendships and the pressure women are often under to juggle the needs of others (as mothers, wives, employees, daughters, sisters, caregivers, etc.)Why women often look for emotional support from their platonic female friendships more than their romantic partnersThe high expectations of female friendships and Danielle's advice for navigating the pressure associated with these relationships (HINT: communication is key!)Navigating healthy conflict and gender expectations, and how to build resilience so we can put ourselves out thereResources & Links:Follow Danielle on Instagram, listen to the Friend Forward podcast, and buy her book, Fighting for Our Friendships.

Some people call it "investor citizenship" while others label it a "passport for sale" scheme. Either way, the last few decades have seen the global citizenship industry grow and evolve in ways that both reflect and impact issues around national sovereignty, tax regimes, international business, and global inequities.David Priess chatted about these and related issues with political sociologist and author Kristin Surak, whose recent book The Golden Passport takes a multidisciplinary look at global mobility for the wealthy and the complex system that has developed around it. They discussed the new "most powerful passport" rankings, the types of people who seek different citizenship through investment, Turkey's rise as a major Citizenship By Investment (CBI) player, the rise and fall of the program in Cyprus, how intermediary companies power the CBI system, the trailblazing CBI role of St. Kitts and Nevis, the challenges of European countries attempting to start and keep CBI programs, differing perceptions of CBI around the world, issues of equity and ethics, and the recent phenomena of digital nomads.Among the works mentioned in this episode:"The Henley Passport Index", Henley & PartnersThe book The Golden Passport: Global Mobility for Millionaires by Kristin SurakThe book Moneyland by Oliver BulloughThe book Making Tea, Making Japan by Kristin SurakThe book The Despot's Guide to Wealth Management by J.
