Lino Miani has over two decades of special operations, interagency, and international disaster response experience in Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and NATO. He is a member of the board of advisors for numerous corporations including GAC Global and The Hague Policy Group. He is a veteran of the Program for Emerging Leaders (PEL) at the Center for the Study of WMD at National Defense University in Washington, DC, an Olmsted Foundation Scholar, and a sought after expert. His 2011 book, The Sulu Arms Market is the world's authoritative look inside the shadowy world of illicit trafficking of firearms in Southeast Asia. Lino is also the President of the Combat Diver Foundation and is currently writing his second book. In this episode…. Lino Miani grew up a world traveller immersed in other cultures through his military-service father. He holds a B.S. in Regional Geography from West Point, an M.A. in Strategic and Defense Studies from the University of Malaya, and an M.A. in Interagency Studies from Kansas University. Through his time as an Olmstead Foundation Scholar and stationed at NATO, he developed a lot of contacts, people all over the world he took care to remember and stay in touch with. Those relationships eventually helped pave the way for Navisio Global's foundation and success. Communication and networking provide the heart of Lino bringing together the right people in the right situations to solve problems. In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter talks with Lino Miani about his time in the Special Forces, how he launched his for-profit company Navisio Global and his not-for-profit organization Combat Diver Foundation, and how communication and trust form the groundwork for both. They explore information management, work ethic, and being prepared for opportunities. Along the way they touch on some of Lino's many stories from his work in countries around the world.

It is time we stopped holding jobs hostage. The jobs proposed today are often from the old linear industrial revolution. They pollute, cause social injustice, and operate for profit alone. Will these jobs help the environment, people, or ecosystems? Will they address the non-linear systems of the more complex real world? Or will they pass these external costs on to the consumer as they have been doing? Those industrial revolution jobs are based on ideas that are 200 years old when the world had 1 billion people. We do not live in that world anymore. Chris Mayda, Professor of Geography and Sustainability at Eastern Michigan Univeristy, offers classes steeped in the sustainable mindset—accepting Earth's limits and examining how everything is connected. She believes that the mindset offers a positive lifestyle and job opportunities for the coming generations. The sustainable mindset is not about prescribed practices, but a way to think. It is interdisciplinary and encourages coopetition when working non-linearly within complex systems. Her textbook a "Regional Geography of the US and Canada: Toward a Sustainable Future" acknowledges what our countries are and what they can be as they move toward the Ecological Age.
