Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Leo Johnson, lecturer at Oxford University's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. Leo is also co-founder of the advisory firm Sustainable Finance, where he chairs the Advisory Council, and previously worked at the World Bank. Known for presenting the BBC series on megatrends and innovation. Leo brings unique insight into organizational behavior, neuroscience, and purposeful leadership. Doug and Leo discuss organizational inertia, transformation resistance, and how neuroscience and behavioral science explain our resistance to change—even amid crises like climate change, geopolitical turmoil, and economic stress. They explore how professionals, including those in international tax, can overcome ‘learned helplessness' and avoid burnout by embracing purpose, agency, and connectedness. Leo introduces the concept of behavioral personas within organizations—catalysts, silent rebels, workhorses, and sustaining innovators—and emphasizes the need for authentic engagement and collaboration to drive meaningful change.
Has the White House gone completely "pay for play"? While experts debate the ethics of U.S. President Donald Trump's latest actions including accepting a plane from Qatar, others are watching his foray into cryptocurrency closely. While many in the space have called for more regulation of crypto, "Trump coin" is causing issues for those trying to build cryptocurrencies as a legitimate financial instrument.Host Mike Eppel discusses this with Erica Pimental, Assistant Professor at the Smith School of Business at Queen's University.

Hear from Prof. J. Doyne Farmer, Professor of Complex Systems Science at the University of Oxford, as we explore new modelling approaches designed to better capture the complex and chaotic nature of our climate and economy. We spend a lot of time on this podcast covering the transition to a low carbon economy, which will be driven largely by policies and technological innovation. These policies tend to be based on insights from economics. And our view on the pace of innovation is often informed by expert judgement. But traditional economic models often oversimplify the world, leading to poor policy design. And we tend to underestimate the exponential rate of technological change, making us unduly pessimistic about the transition. Today's guest has thought a great deal about both these issues. That's why in today's episode we'll be diving into the world of complexity economics and agent-based modelling, which can help us better navigate the risks and opportunities associated with the transition. We'll discuss: How agent-based models are very well suited to modelling complex, non-linear systems, such as the economy; How past innovation cycles can provide invaluable insights on what we might expect to see in the transition; and What the models tell us about the appropriate speed of the transition to a net zero world.

It's a challenge for many B2B companies—sales reps armed with endless product knowledge but still failing to connect with buyers in a meaningful way. But what if the problem isn't the product or even the salesperson's knowledge, but the way the conversation is framed? Often referred to as the "Sales Professor", David Priemer is also the author of two bestselling books, Sell The Way You Buy and The Sales Leader They Need, as well as an Adjunct Lecturer at the Smith School of Business at Queen's University and the London Business School.In this episode, David reveals how to flip the sales script and sell the way your customers actually want to buy.

Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode:"What the reps and teams need to better articulate to the customer is not just the problem that they're looking to solve, but why the customer cannot solve that problem on their own." - David Priemer
A podcast about work, the future and how they will go together
If everything is on the table when it comes to the future of work, should we be talking about having workers own the company – or at least own a bit of it? To talk about that, Linda Nazareth is joined on this episode by Elspeth Murray, Director of the Centre for Innovation and Social Impact and CIBC Faculty Fellow in Entrepreneurship at the Smith School of Business at Queen's University. They discuss why the benefits from employee ownership can go far beyond money and why this work model might be a good thing for workers and organizations and maybe for society as well. Guest: Elspeth Murray Director of the Centre for Innovation and Social Impact and CIBC Faculty Fellow in Entrepreneurship at the Smith School of Business at Queen's University Elspeth Murray has served as the Associate Dean – MBA and Master's Programs from 2012-2022 and has been a professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Smith School of Business since 1996.

They look at how to draw carbon directly out of the air so it can no longer cause the damaging greenhouse effect. Research into this area is ramping up, with a number of options on the table from Direct Air Capture to enhanced rock weathering. As with many aspects of the energy transition, the funding is growing but still the regulatory landscape is playing catch up.Joining Watt Matters to discuss this emerging sector is Dr Steve Smith, executive director of Oxford Net Zero and CO2RE—the UK's national research hub on greenhouse gas removal—at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, part of the University of Oxford. Steve and the Watt Matters team examine where the sector stands today, what its impact could be in the 2030s, and whether it could risk becoming a distraction from carbon reduction efforts.Enjoy the show.Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.

This is where ZeroDay, under the leadership of CEO and co-founder Maneesa Wijesinghe-Nelken, steps in. ZeroDay's solution: robotics and automation designed to handle food waste at the source, within urban buildings like hotels, offices, and restaurants. This innovative approach offers both a reduction in labor and a decrease in the operational expenses associated with traditional waste management.ZeroDay's technology compresses food waste into manageable blocks wrapped in a special bio-wrapper. “Our machines achieve significant volume reduction by up to 75 percent,” Maneesa explains, “which cuts down on the truck trips needed to collect and transport waste, ultimately lowering costs for composting or biogas production.”The potential impact of this innovation is immense. Food waste in landfills emits methane—a greenhouse gas approximately 80 times more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year period. By diverting food waste from landfills and into sustainable processes like composting and biogas production, ZeroDay contributes to reducing urban carbon footprints.Based in New York City, where waste management challenges are pervasive, ZeroDay is piloting its technology in an environment ripe for change. Maneesa envisions scaling this model to other major cities, where food waste management remains a pressing issue.tl;dr:* Today's episode highlights ZeroDay's robotic solution that compresses food waste into sustainable, compact blocks.* Maneesa explains how ZeroDay's technology reduces landfill waste and methane emissions significantly.* ZeroDay's automation helps urban buildings manage food waste more efficiently, saving labor and operational costs.* Maneesa's unshakeable optimism drives her to overcome challenges and create impactful technology solutions.* ZeroDay is currently piloting its waste management technology with business customers across New York City.How to Develop Relentless Determination As a SuperpowerManeesa's superpower is a relentless determination to succeed. She describes herself as “a blind optimist” who refuses to give up, driven by an unwavering belief that she'll overcome any obstacles. This internal drive allows her to push through challenges and keep moving forward, even when the path isn't clear.An example of Maneesa's relentless determination is her experience building ZeroDay's first working prototype. Despite limited experience in hard tech, she and her co-founder faced the intense challenge of building a robotic food-waste processing machine in a month for a demonstration. Maneesa's commitment was so deep that, even after injuring herself on a circular saw, she persisted and completed the prototype. Their efforts led to a successful demo that generated significant interest from businesses and validated their concept despite the grueling process.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Cultivate blind optimism by finding an inner voice that reminds you success is possible.* Embrace spirituality or meditation practices to build resilience and maintain focus.* Approach challenges with an open mind, seeing each one as an opportunity to learn.* Believe in the purpose behind your work to fuel your drive, even in tough times.Closing Paragraph:By following Maneesa's example and advice, you can make relentless determination a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileManeesa Wijesinghe-Nelken (she/her):CEO & Co-founder, ZeroDayAbout ZeroDay: ZeroDay automates the archaic food waste management system in businesses, allowing them to save money, comply with regulations, and prevent food waste from entering landfills.Website: www.zeroday.lifeBiographical Information: Maneesa previously served as the Director of the Regenerative and Circular Economy Lab, a think tank at the University of Oxford's Smith School of Enterprise and Environment. In this role, she collaborated with large corporations such as Nike and Unilever and small local organizations to develop and implement circular business solutions on various scales. She is also a fellow of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and has completed a study to earn the "From Linear to Circular" professional certification. She holds an MBA from the University of Oxford, specializing in circular business models. Before this, she was an early employee at disruptive tech companies such as Datadog and Okta, focusing on technical solutions and enterprise sales. Maneesa's educational background includes a Bachelors in Physics and Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University. As a native of Sri Lanka, she has firsthand experience of the environmental damage caused by the waste crisis, including witnessing the 2017 Meethotamulla garbage dump disaster. Her experiences have fueled her ambition to combat the waste crisis.LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maneesawn/Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

In the 1970's, J. Doyne Farmer built the first wearable computer which he used to predict the game of roulette. While this didn't make him particularly popular in casinos, it did mark the beginning of a glittering scientific career in complexity and systems theory, as well as in theoretical physics and biology. And, along the way, Farmer founded a quantitative automated trading firm that was sold to UBS in 2006 as well as working for a while as an Oppenheimer Fellow at Los Alamos Labs. So when a guy as smart as Farmer - who now teaches both at Oxford and at the Santa Fe Institute — turns his big brain to economics, we should take note. In his new book, Making Sense of Chaos, Farmer explains how we can get to a “better economics for a better world” through what he calls complex economics. As a fusion of big data analysis and behavioral economics, Farmer is navigating a third economic way between the scylla of traditional free market economics and the charybdis of de-growth economics. Seriously smart stuff from one the world's brainiest men. J. Doyne Farmer is Director of the Complexity Economics programme at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School, Baillie Gifford Professor of Complex Systems Science at the Smith School for Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford, External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, and Chief Scientist at Macrocosm. His current research is in economics, including agent-based modeling, financial instability and technological progress. He was a founder of Prediction Company, a quantitative automated trading firm that was sold to UBS in 2006. His past research includes complex systems, dynamical systems theory, time series analysis and theoretical biology. During the 1980s he was an Oppenheimer Fellow and the founder of the Complex Systems Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. While a graduate student in the 1970s he built the first wearable digital computer, which was successfully used to predict the game of roulette.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In our conversation with Dr. Sharon Saline, she talks about the origin of the sense of failure so many people with ADHD experience, and how it can be traced back to harmful messaging we've endured since childhood about how we are defective in some way or not okay. Dr. Sharon challenges us to change our inner dialogue and talk to ourselves with compassion, the way we would a close friend or a child in need.Dr. Sharon breaks down what emotional dysregulation looks like and how it shows up for women with ADHD in terms of overwhelm, time management challenges, working memory, and self-evaluation, aka, the way we perceive and speak to ourselves. People with ADHD tend to have "big feelings." Dr. Sharon explains why people with poor working memory also struggle with emotional control. Dr. Sharon guides us through the biology of ADHD and how brain structure as well as neurotransmitter function both play a role in emotional regulation. Dr. Sharon shares with us the mind-blowing concept of the "Takeback of the Day." She walks us through the protocol and "rules" and how transformative it can be in relationship repair. We talk about what it looks like when an ADHD mom "loses it," how terrible it feels, what's often at the root of it, and how to make it right. Dr. Sharon walks us through "do-overs" and repair when children are involved. In order to avoid the "Boy who cried wolf" cycle of damage and repair, Dr. Sharon encourages us to notice the signals that we are about to lose it so we can course correct before we go over the edge—she shares her STAR method which can be revolutionary for stopping the cycle of losing it.

This week it's my pleasure to welcome Carlos Alvarenga for a chat about his new book, The Rules of Persuasion: How the World's Greatest Communicators Convince, Inspire, Lead--and, Sometimes, Deceive. Carlos is an independent researcher and author. Before writing full-time, he worked as a management consultant and adjunct professor at the Robert H.Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. Carlos holds a B.A. in Humanities and Classical Greek from Hampden-Sydney College and completed the Post-Baccalaureate Program in Classics at the University of Pennsylvania. In this conversation we delve into the compelling world of persuasion as the art and science that influences every aspect of our lives. Carlos explains how he drew inspiration from Aristotle's foundational work on rhetoric to craft his book. We will unravel the subtleties of persuasion—as the act of shaping beliefs within a community—and how it distinguishes itself from manipulation and coercion. Carlos guides us through his periodic table of persuasion and the vital role language plays in shaping our reality. In addition, we discuss the shifts in teaching persuasion and the emergence of augmented intelligence, and how technology like deep-fakes are testing the limits of authenticity. Carlos also shares personal anecdotes, emphasizing the potency of storytelling, and offers insights into creating messages that resonate deeply with audiences regardless of their background or educational level. ______________________________________ Related Episodes and Links to Content Mentioned In This Episode: Kevin Costner's Eulogy For Whitney Houston What's Going On Tops Rolling Stone's 500 Best Albums of All Time Terri Sjodin on Improving Your Presentation Skills and Public Speaking Kasia Wezowski on Open Body Language & Compassionate Communication Charles Duhigg on the Super Power of Clear Communication at Home and Work ______________________________________ Connect with Carlos: Website ______________________________________ Connect with Erik: LinkedIn Facebook Instagram ______________________________________ This Podcast is Powered By: Descript Descript 101 Castmagic Ecamm Podpage Rodecaster Pro Top Productivity Books List Make sure to support the show by checking out the sponsors!

Getting the global energy system to net-zero – a state in which it emits no more greenhouse gasses than it absorbs – means deploying clean energy infrastructure at a pace without historical precedent. The ripple effects of this transition are already apparent in business, geopolitics, and in people's daily lives. Increasing public concern over climate change and breakthroughs in clean energy technology have rendered this challenge more achievable. But turning this momentum into tangible progress will require careful policymaking and implementation, across all levels of government. How might the clean energy transition reconfigure the global economy? What levers can policymakers pull to accelerate it? And what emerging solutions are already changing the outlook for net zero? Today we're re-running host Jason Bordoff's interview with Cameron Hepburn about the economics of the climate crisis. Cameron is a Professor of Environmental Economics at the University of Oxford and Director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. He also serves as the Director of the Economics of Sustainability Programme, based at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. Cameron has over 30 peer-reviewed publications spanning economics, public policy, law, engineering, philosophy, and biology. In a summer of both heightened climate ambition and heightened alarm over climate change, this conversation was held in the aftermath of the COP27 climate summit. Jason and Cameron discussed how technology developments are accelerating the energy transition and how to scale their impact.
