Carrie Freeman is the Chair of the SecondMuse Group,  which includes SecondMuse, the SecondMuse Foundation, and SecondMuse Capital. Carrie is also the Interim Executive Director for the SecondMuse Foundation, a non-profit focusing on advocating for building relational wealth as an approach to building inclusive and resilient economies. SecondMuse focuses on the design, development, and implementation of innovative programming that seeks to benefit people and protect the planet. Over the last decade, SecondMuse has designed and implemented programs on 7 continents with 600+ organizations such as NASA, The World Bank, and Goldman Sachs. SecondMuse's initiatives have delivered the following impact: accelerating 200 + ventures annually; prototyping 50,000+ solutions; enabling $575M investment to supported ventures, with 80% still in business; and generating $10B in social and environmental impact.  Under Carrie's leadership, SecondMuse won numerous awards including the Reuters Responsible Business Award, Real Leaders Most Impactful Leaders, and the YPO Global Impact Award. In this episode, we discuss: ●      The importance of collaboration in solving complex challenges ●      How the timeline of change can determine who the best change partners are ●      The role of intersectionality in systems change Key Takeaways: ●      Navigating the labyrinth of tax and accounting systems is a Herculean task for trailblazing organizations that are marrying commerce with compassion. It's akin to a team of adventurers channeling all their might into deciphering an ancient map, only to have no energy left after deciphering it. This bureaucratic quagmire siphons away the zest they could pour into sculpting a brighter world. As we build a new vision of what a thriving economy, society, and planet means, we need to consider the new types of organizations required to create and sustain that vision. Then, we need to create the systems that allow these new organizational structures to not only exist, but thrive. ●      Think of how easy it is for a kid who grows up in a wealthy neighborhood to snag a great internship through family connections—it's like having a VIP pass to the front of the line. Now think of a kid from a regular family, who doesn't have that golden ticket—it's like they're stuck in the line that barely moves. This is just one way life isn't fair. But when we become aware of the value of networks, and the inherent inequity in opportunities caused by networks, we're able to build solutions that bridge the equity gap. Only then can we find ways to share these VIP passes around so everyone gets a shot at the good opportunities. ●      Getting people to come together for a common goal is like lighting a fire that everyone wants to gather around. Carrie talked about the work SecondMuse does to build networks, community, and solutions around a shared objective. The shared objective is the fire. It's the call to action. This same principle is also powerful inside a company. When you establish a purpose beyond profit for your company, you invite employees and consumers to join a movement that's bigger than themselves. Your purpose acts as a magnet, attracting employees and consumers with aligned values. This shifts the relationship from transactional to emotional and meaningful.  References: ●      Connect with Carrie on LinkedIn ●      SecondMuse ●      SecondMuse Capital ●      SecondMuse Foundation ●      NASA International Space Apps Challenge ●      Circulate Initiative ●      Circulate Capital Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Ever wondered how embracing the philosophy of "sharing is caring" could be the guiding force for leadership? Intrigued by how diversifying our understanding of entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool for social change? Then this conversation is for you.Our host Denise Cooper converses with Dani Bicknell, the Senior Manager of Programs at SecondMuse. Dani introduces herself as a woman, mother, lifelong learner, and a fervent advocate for inclusive economies. Her guiding mantra, "sharing is caring", transcends from a life lesson taught by her mother into her professional ethos, believing that sharing resources, time, and most importantly, power, is fundamental to effective leadership. Dani's unique approach contradicts traditional hierarchical leadership models, emphasizing a more collaborative and inclusive model.The conversation also unravels the often-overlooked aspects of entrepreneurship, a concept Dani believes has been unfairly "whitewashed" over the past few decades. She sheds light on the power and potential of marginalized entrepreneurs, arguing that they embody the true spirit of entrepreneurship through their ability to innovate and create valuable assets despite systemic hurdles. Denise and Dani challenge the notion of individual success stories, reminding us that no leader, company, or individual truly succeeds without the help of others.If you've been wanting to explore a fresh perspective on leadership, or understand how entrepreneurship can become a more inclusive and diverse space, this episode is an eye-opening encounter with Dani's vision of a more equitable future.THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOWWhy do you say that entrepreneurship has become whitewashed?

Chante Harris, Sr. Manager of Venture for ClimateTech at SecondMuse and Co-Founder of Women of Color Collective in Sustainability (WOC/CS), joins Sheiny to discuss her passion to launch better solutions, initiatives, and technologies when it comes to urban/social innovation, building sustainable cities, and cross-sector collaboration. We go into depth behind her love for driving long-term growth for companies through successful go-to-market and social impact strategies, particularly when it comes to Climate Tech. We discuss the work she's done to formulate WOC/CS and the founding genesis her and her co-founder have had to create a mission to amplify the voices and presence of WOC who historically have been under-looked, underutilized, and unrecognized by the sustainability industry. We go deeper into her thoughts on the proposed Biden Infrastructure Plan, how it affects the work she is doing now, and why she felt stepping away from the policy side of the aisle was more beneficial in both the short and long term when it comes to sustainability and the Climate Tech industry.

"Laleh Bakhtiar, an Islamic and Sufi scholar and the first American Muslim women to produce a translation of the Quran, passed away peacefully on Sunday October 18, 2020 in Chicago, from Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a rare blood disorder. She was 82." Dr. Bakhtiar wasn't only a Let's Care interviewee but was so much more. She was bold, and stood up for positive impact she believed in -- regardless of the risk. Even in her passing, the world is left with countless artifacts of her impact -- including 25 published books about Islam, Sufism, and more, and numerous interviews, videos, and storytelling pieces by a variety of outlets and storytellers, including her daughter Davar Ardalan (NPR, SecondMuse, White House Presidential Innovation Fellows, National Geographic). Laleh has a legacy like no other, and it will continue to live on and change lives far beyond her passing -- through her family and those who loved her and through all she touched. Read "Courage, Temperance, Justice and the Enduring Wisdom of the late Scholar Laleh Bakhtiar" by Davar Ardalan Read "Trying to digest the grief-soaked digital breadcrumbs" by Matt Scott For more on Let's Care, visit www.lets.care.

Stacey Weismiller of SecondMuse steps onto the New York Launch Pod to discuss her startup incubator and impact firm dedicated to designing, developing and implementing entrepreneurial programs specifically geared to hardware manufacturing in New York City.

The recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Singapore shows that there are limits to what national responses to a global pandemic can achieve. Stephanie Arrowsmith [DipModLang '14, BHlthSc '14], Senior Associate, Network Development Lead at SecondMuse and Impact Hub Jakarta Co-Founder shares the impact on people's lives after the COVID-19 outbreak in Singapore, and how businesses today can deliver a positive impact during, and after COVID-19.

SecondMuse is an innovation agency that tackles complex problems - including how to address climate change. Last week, alongside the Circulate Initiative they launched the Plastics Data Challenge, aiming to reduce plastic pollution in the World’s oceans. Matteo Chiampo, Technical Director at SecondMuse shares more on this and how sustainability is critical to our future way of doing business.

What do NASA, Intel and Nike all have in common? They care about inclusive growth. According to a recent Deloitte study, 65% of U.S. companies surveyed now rate “inclusive growth” as one of their top three goals, eclipsing strategies like “growing market share” or “being the category leader." This week, hear from Carrie Freeman, the Managing Partner of Second Muse, an accelerator and “economy-builder” to learn about what inclusive growth really means: building a prosperous, equitable future. SecondMuse works on developing ecosystems that strengthen the innovation community by working at the intersection of social issues, like diversity, connectivity and adaptability; and markets, policy, culture, and more. Carrie sits at the helm of a team that has accelerated 200 high-impact companies that raised $250M, created $500M market value, and generated $7 BILLION in positive social impact."Many of the complex challenges present in the world are there because different actors have been working in silos. Not intentionally doing bad things, but oftentimes working in silence and not with each other," says Carrie. "Our intent is to redefine how economies are created in a way that is inclusive of all humans."For more on the podcast, see the Beyond Capital Podcast website.

Powering Stories with Depth and Honesty   Matt Scott leads storytelling and engagement at the innovation agency and business accelerator SecondMuse and is the creator of 180º of Impact, a project to interview and celebrate 180 people changing our world for the better. In the past few years, his work has included communications projects with NASA, Nike, USAID, and the Australian Government as well as involvement in the White House Open Data Innovation Summit and a presentation UN Leaders Programme. To-date, his 180º of Impact interviews have included the former CEO of Pepsi, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, NASA Datanauts and dozens of other change makers.   Matt has always been fascinated by stories, specifically capturing stories in a way that truly conveys their depth and power and that will live on forever. He first did that years ago in a 40 minute audio recording of part of his dad's story, chronically his father's upbringing and resilience in the face of racism and our country's only closing of the schools during the civil rights era. Matt's dad went on to do great things, including serving in the army, graduating Harvard Business School, having a beautiful family of his own and owning his own business, all the while being incredibly humble about it all. When Matt's father passed away on March 8, 2017, Matt was really compelled to give others a platform to share their stories in their own words rather than doing it in his own words, pivoting 180º of Impact from a blog to a platform where Matt actually interviews people making a difference, sharing their stories in their own words and voice.         Questions You'll Hear Today:   You graduated with a degree in business administration, concentrating in marketing, from the George Washington University. Why did you choose to work in the social impact realm (as opposed to in the corporate world, for example)? In interviewing social entrepreneurs for 180º of Impact, what have you learned about what leads to someone starting a social enterprise? Is there a story that stands out that reminds you why you do the work you do? What has been the biggest challenge you've come up against in your career? Through your work, what is the best piece of advice you've heard? What advice would you give to a millennial starting their career? What is your vision for your career and for 180º of Impact?     Connect with Matt Scott:   Website: www.lets.care ,  www.secondmuse.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattscottgw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattscottgw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/letsyoucare Email : hello@lets.care
