The tech is impressive—but what's even more impressive is what our guests shared.So in this episode, I want to:demonstrate one way creators can collaborate with AI to extract more value from their content;showcase some of the inspiring insights and voices from the women I've had the pleasure of interviewing;and invite you to explore their full stories in their own voices.About AndyI'm an experienced business leader and a passionate developer of people in the automotive finance industry, internationally.During over twenty five years, I have played a key role in developing businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Corporate Finance UK, BMW Financial Services Singapore, BMW Financial Services New Zealand and Tesla Financial Services UK.At the same time, I have coached individuals and delivered leadership development programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe and North America.I started Aquilae in 2016 to enable “Fulfilling Performance” in the mobility industry, internationally.Connect with AndyLinkedIn: Andy FollowsEmail: cvm@aquilae.co.ukJoin a guided peer mentoring team: Aquilae AcademyThank you to our sponsors:ASKE ConsultingEmail: hello@askeconsulting.co.ukAquilaeEmail: cvm@aquilae.co.ukEpisode Directory on Instagram @careerviewmirror  If you enjoy listening to our guests career stories, please follow CAREER-VIEW MIRROR in your podcast app. Episode recorded on 22 June, 2025.

The United States has long been the largest aid donor in the world, accounting for about 40 percent of humanitarian assistance globally last year, according to the United Nations. But that is quickly changing. Most U.S. foreign aid is currently on hold. Thousands of projects are at risk of elimination. And nearly all staff from the U.S. Agency for International Development are on administrative leave. How did we get to this moment? And what has been the impact of the foreign aid freeze so far, including on women and girls? In this episode from The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, hear a conversation taped at Foreign Policy magazine's Emerging Threats Forum, an official side event of the Munich Security Conference, about the economic and security implications of halting overseas development assistance.Foreign Policy editor in chief Ravi Agrawal spoke with Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, the president and CEO of the One Campaign, and Umulkher (Umi) Harun Mohamed, a member of Kenya's National Assembly.

The idea for today's show came from you: our listeners. Many of you wanted to hear follow-up stories. You suggested talking to past interviewees and seeing what they are doing now. In particular, you were curious if the gender equality issues they were advocating for had advanced or backslid since we first reported on them. Today, we are coming back to Sabrina Habib, who was on our very first episode in 2021. Habib is the CEO and co-founder of Kidogo, a nonprofit focused on creating affordable high-quality daycare centers in Kenya. Since we last spoke with Habib, Kidogo has greatly expanded. Host Reena Ninan asks her what led to this growth and about her recent endeavors with Melinda French Gates.

Health and human services. Nutrition. Job programs. These are just a few of the sectors impacted by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) cuts in Nigeria—one of the top 10 recipients of U.S. foreign aid. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently announced the elimination of 83 percent of USAID programs. On today's episode, senior producer Laura Rosbrow-Telem talks to aid workers and direct recipients in Nigeria about the fallout of the cuts so far. After that, host Reena Ninan interviews two special guests about what can be done to address the funding gap. First, Ninan talks to Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins, president and CEO of Population Action International (PAI). Since it launched more than 60 years ago, PAI has advocated for sexual and reproductive health care in the United States and abroad. Then, Ninan speaks with Michael Jarvis, executive director of the Trust, Accountability, and Inclusion Collaborative (TAI). TAI is a network of funders focused on strategic and systemic ways to do philanthropy, including the MacArthur and Ford Foundations, among others. Jarvis reveals what he thinks funders can and can't do at this moment. Guests Interviewed: Edward Clement, BMG Foundation Yusufa Adamu / Aisha Madu, Fatima Orphanage Sani Salihu Mohammed, Health and Social Awareness Foundation (HASAF) Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins, president and CEO of PAI Michael Jarvis, executive director of the Trust, Accountability, and Inclusion Collaborative The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported in part by the Gates Foundation and Northwestern University's Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs.

As a special bonus, we're sharing an interview host Reena Ninan recorded with Preethi Herman about how to launch a digital campaign that actually changes policy. Herman led the Change.org Foundation, supporting 100 million people in campaigns worldwide. Currently, Herman is the CEO and co-founder of the Nguvu Collective, a women-led organization that has impacted more than 200 million lives. **Note: This interview took place before the U.S. foreign-aid freeze, which we will address more in coming episodes. Still, Herman's advice about advocacy could not be more relevant. ***** If you want to share how the disruption of aid is impacting your life, please be in touch. It can be anonymous, if you prefer.

I adore music. It moves me like few other things in existence. There was a time when my family and I watched America's Got Talent, and it was the breakout singers that we most enjoyed. You may remember Mandy Harvey. Mandy was in college pursuing a vocal music education degree, then lost her hearing. She left the program to pursue other career options, but later returned to music. She ultimately landed on America's Got Talent where she reached the finals and was Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer Winner. From there, CNN showcased Mandy on their Great Big Story and captured over 10 million hits on social media, Burt's Bees signed her up for their “Remarkable Women” campaign, NBC Nightly News profiled her, and she went on to perform at the world's most prestigious clubs, concert stages and festivals. Mandy then wrote a book titled, Sensing The Rhythm, Finding My Voice In a World Without Sound. The book landed on my desk and in it I found a message of helping others to realize their dreams and pursue their hopes, no matter what. I invited Mandy onto my show and following I bring back an incredibly inspiring conversation about pursuing your dreams, in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, like being a singer…who goes deaf.

In November 1839, a group of young women in Boston formed a conversation society "to answer the great questions" of special importance to women: "What are we born to do? How shall we do it?" The lives and works of the five women who discussed these questions are at the center of Bright Circle, a group biography of remarkable thinkers and artists who played pathbreaking roles in the transcendentalist movement. Transcendentalism remains the most important literary and philosophical movement to have originated in the United States. Most accounts of it, however, trace its emergence to a group of young intellectuals (primarily Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau) dissatisfied with their religious, literary, and social culture. Yet there is a forgotten history of transcendentalism--a submerged counternarrative--that features a network of fiercely intelligent women who were central to the development of the movement even as they found themselves silenced by their culturally-assigned roles as women. Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Women in the Age of Transcendentalism (Oxford UP, 2024) is intended to reorient our understanding of transcendentalism: to help us see the movement as a far more collaborative and interactive project between women and men than is commonly understood. It recounts the lives of Mary Moody Emerson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Lydia Jackson Emerson, and Margaret Fuller as they developed crucial ideas about the self, nature, and feeling even as they pushed their male counterparts to consider the rights of enslaved people of color and women. Many ideas once considered original to Emerson and Thoreau are shown to have originated with women who had little opportunity of publicly expressing them. Together, the five women of Bright Circle helped form the foundations of American feminism. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Women in Leadership! Today, we're excited to revisit Dare to Rise: A Collection of Courage from Eight Remarkable Women, originally shared on the Business in Heels podcast, with two inspiring authors, Terri Wilby and Baishakhi Connor. Terri, a breathwork practitioner and rapid transformational therapist, spent 40 years in a monastic community before embracing a new mission: empowering women over 50 to reclaim their power. Her chapter, A Breath of Life: Memoir of Resilience and Transformation, is a heartfelt account of healing, reinvention, and finding purpose. Baishakhi, a seasoned corporate executive and mentor, shares the challenges of rediscovering herself beyond the boardroom. In Love, Loss, and New Beginnings, she reveals a deeply personal journey of overcoming heartbreak, navigating life's transitions, and embracing the strength of community. These stories are raw, courageous, and filled with lessons in resilience. Stay tuned as we revisit their inspiring journeys and hear how they turned challenges into powerful transformations. Here are the key takeaways: Resilience and Adaptability: Both Terri and Baishakhi emphasize the essence of bouncing back and adapting to life's unforeseen challenges. Support Networks: The importance of having a trusted circle to share and offload burdens, countering the tendency to isolate during tough times. Letting Go and Embracing New Beginnings: Understanding that life's journey often involves unforeseen twists and turns, and the power lies in how one navigates through these moments. Ready for more?

The number of people exposed to floods globally has surged by nearly 25 percent since 2000, with Africa experiencing the most dramatic increase. Floods this spring were especially brutal in East Africa, killing nearly 530 people and most heavily impacting Kenya. On today's episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we analyze the relationship between climate and gender equality. Host Reena Ninan begins by hearing from Nairobi-based reporter Eunice Maina, who spoke with a family deeply impacted by the spring floods. They dig deeper into how these floods and climate change in general disproportionately affect women and children. Then, Ninan speaks with Tariye Gbadegesin, the CEO of the Climate Investment Funds. It is one of the world's largest multilateral climate funds, and a significant portion of their work targets women and girls. We recorded this interview during the annual World Bank-International Monetary Fund meetings in October. Guests and organizations:  Eunice Maina, journalist based in Nairobi, Kenya. This is her fifth time reporting for HERO.  Tariye Gbadegesin, CEO, Climate Investment Funds The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported in part this season by the Gates Foundation, Northwestern University's Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs, and the Atlantic Council.

As global public debt reaches historic highs, one of the key solutions is increasing the amount of funding for “concessional” loans—or ones with very good terms. That is where the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) comes in. According to the World Bank, the IDA is the world's largest source of development finance for countries most in need. It provides low-income countries with grants and loans with little to no interest. Every three years, the IDA has to raise funds from its members: donor countries. Its final replenishment meeting, where it will announce how much money it is able to raise, will take place on Dec. 5 and 6 in Seoul. The stakes are high as this critical deadline looms. On today's episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, host Reena Ninan speaks with two experts who care deeply about the IDA and financing for the world's poorest countries. Ninan talks to Gargee Ghosh, president of global policy and advocacy for the Gates Foundation, and Mavis Owusu-Gyamfi, president and CEO of the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), at the Atlantic Council's International Monetary Fund recording studio. They share their deep expertise about what really works in supporting women and girls, as well as reducing poverty.

Thousands of Kenyans protested against a finance bill in June that would have increased taxes on many everyday items. This was proposed in part to help pay off loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, which account for more than 40 percent of the country's foreign debt. But what is Kenya's current fiscal climate? And how are these debts impacting gender equality? On today's episode of The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, host Reena Ninan talks with Nairobi-based reporter Sharon Kiburi, who has been following Kenya's debt crisis. Kiburi tells Ninan about her interview with Wanjira Wanjiru, a protest leader against the June finance bill, co-founder of the Mathare Social Justice Centre in Nairobi, and co-host of the Liberating Minds podcast. Then, we hear from Diana Gichengo, the executive director of the Institute for Social Accountability (TISA). She discusses TISA's efforts to engage with the IMF about their program in Kenya, which is largely expected to end in March. Gichengo spoke on a panel organized by Transparency International U.S. and moderated by the Trust, Accountability, and Inclusion (TAI) Collaborative on the sidelines of the IMF/World Bank meetings in October. Guests and organizations:  Sharon Kiburi, journalist based in Nairobi. This is her second time reporting for HERO.

The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is back for a very special seventh season. If you're a longtime listener, you'll know our show generally focuses on women from the global majority, or the global south. But this time, we wanted to cover the banks and institutions shaping global funding—particularly as the world faces an unprecedented amount of governmental debt. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global public debt is expected to top $100 trillion by the end of this year, its highest level ever. Many countries are facing painful choices about how to spend fewer resources, including on programs critical to women and girls. We recorded most of our interviews at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in late October, right before the U.S. presidential election. Here, financial leaders decide how to spend billions of dollars on top development priorities, such as poverty reduction, climate change, and gender equality. We'll try to answer some big questions this season: How are countries and multilateral institutions grappling with so much government debt? What are they doing to prepare for the new U.S. administration? And how is all this impacting the fight for gender equality? For the season premiere, we wanted to start by looking at what has worked in the past. We talk to two incredible women who have both been finance ministers and leaders at multilateral institutions about how they have advanced women and girls economically. Guests and organizations:  Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank and the former head of the IMF Malado Kaba, the former head of gender at the African Development Bank and current managing director of Falémé Conseil First, host Reena Ninan speaks with Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, and former finance minister of France. She is the first woman ever to hold any of these roles. Lagarde was also named by Forbes as the No. 2 most powerful woman in the world last year. Special thanks to our media partner for this season, the Atlantic Council. They hosted Lagarde at an event during the IMF and World Bank meetings right before our interview. Then, Reena interviews Malado Kaba, the former director of the Gender, Women, and Civil Society Department of the African Development Bank. She was also the first ever female finance and economy minister for the Republic of Guinea. Kaba is currently the managing director of Falémé Conseil, a consultancy firm focused on African economic growth.

Today I am sharing why knowing history will give you fortitude and encouragement in the current political and cultural climate plus a truth concerning birds to give you peace and hope.History Is a wise companion and counselor.Knowing history allows us to have a better frame of reference for how the Lord has worked his character, his fulfillment of promises, and allows us to draw strength instead fastness from those who have walked before us during difficult and hard times.History reminds us we are not alone in our trials.**Note about end times and eschatology - If you read the last 10 or 20 years of current history, you will not have a proper view of eschatology in light of Scripture and all the the Lord has done and is doing. History is a wise companion and helps us learn from the past and build for the future. When we learn from history, we mature as people there's a famous quote by Cicero that says "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."History Book Ideas:Richard Hannula books: Radiant: 50 Remarkable Women in Church History - https://a.co/d/bwa01wzHeralds of the Reformation: https://a.co/d/4G54bAzFor Christ's Crown: https://a.co/d/dgrHqzvTrials and Triumph: https://a.co/d/hgKVFrYHistory from Creation to Modern Day Story of the World Volumes 1-4 (not distinctly Christian, but good chronological, read aloud or curriculum): https://a.co/d/dVdg4j9Mystery of History (more Christian - I have not used this, but it has been recommended): https://a.co/d/0x6TfktAmerican History:Did America Have a Christian Foundation?
