In May, I spoke with four leaders who are reshaping what finance can do – and who it can serve.In this compilation episode, I've pulled together the most powerful ideas, turning points, and takeaways from those conversations. If something resonates, you can dive deeper – the links to each full episode are below.Here's the list of featured guests:Nasir Qadree, Founder and Managing Partner of Zeal Capital PartnersNasir launched Zeal in early 2020 – right as the pandemic began. For many, it seemed like the worst possible timing. For him, it was exactly the right moment.He saw a market that wasn't working for most entrepreneurs – and a venture ecosystem that kept recycling capital into the same places, the same profiles, and the same narrow definitions of potential.Zeal's model is built around what Nasir calls “inclusive investing” – a five-part framework designed to widen the lens on where and how capital gets deployed.Full episodeHadewych Kuiper, Managing Director at Triodos Investment ManagementHadewych joined Triodos right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. While other banks were collapsing under the weight of financial engineering, Triodos kept growing – because they weren't in the business of making money with money. Their investments were grounded in the real economy, and that made all the difference.Today, Hadewych leads the firm's €6 billion portfolio across what they call five transition themes: food, resources, energy, society, and well-being.Her mission is bigger than impact investing. It's about transforming the financial sector itself.Full episodeRomina Reversi, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Investment Banking Americas at Crédit Agricole CIBRomina started her career in equity derivatives at J.P. Morgan – a role she calls foundational for everything that came next. But in 2015, she pivoted into a niche team focused on green bonds. She was one of the earliest hires in J.P. Morgan's ESG debt capital markets group, helping to shape the playbook as they went.Now at Crédit Agricole, she leads sustainable investment banking for the Americas – overseeing ESG advisory, green and sustainability-linked financing, and supply chain solutions.Her team helped launch the first U.S. corporate green bond tied to nuclear energy, and structured the world's first sovereign bond with a step-up/step-down coupon tied to emissions and biodiversity targets.Full episodeMichele Giddens, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridges Fund ManagementMichele was asked to advise the UK Treasury's Social Investment Task Force, chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen. That experience led directly to the founding of Bridges, with a white sheet of paper and £10 million in catalytic government funding. The idea: to show that financial returns and social impact didn't have to be at odds.Today, Bridges has over £2 billion in assets under management across private equity, real estate, and outcomes contracts. Every investment aligns with one of two goals: building a more inclusive economy or a more sustainable planet. Their theory of change is simple – use financial capital to tackle systemic challenges, and value creation will follow.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

SRI360 | Socially Responsible Investing, ESG, Impact Investing, Sustainable Investing
Today's guest is Mark Hays, Director of Sustainable & Impact Investing at Glenmede — a firm managing $48 billion with a client-to-employee ratio that keeps conversations personal and strategy focused.Mark's journey into finance started early — running a lemonade stand to save up for a Sega Genesis and learning about markets through a third-grade stock project that didn't go as planned. That early curiosity eventually led to a career spanning Cambridge Associates, OMERS, Flat World, and J.P. Morgan — where he became the firm's first U.S. sustainable investing hire.Now at Glenmede, Mark helps clients align their portfolios with their principles — not just in theory, but through tangible investments. Glenmede offers investment management, wealth planning, fiduciary, and advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, endowments, foundations, and institutional clients.It has $48 billion in assets under management, but keeps a 4-to-1 client-to-employee ratio and promises, in Mark's words, “the experience of a $200 million family as a $10 million individual.” That approach means every client gets tailored advice, deeper conversations, and impact reporting that goes far beyond ESG scores.Nearly 20 percent of AUM sits in strategies that fit Glenmede's four-category investment taxonomy (Integrated, Mandated, Thematic, High-Impact Concessionary) and span almost every asset class. Mark's through-line is what he calls “sustainable prosperity” — the belief that helping those with the least doesn't take away from others, but actually creates more opportunity and value for everyone.At Glenmede, that vision shows up not only in where the money goes but in how clients are engaged. Mark and his team don't just plug people into products — they guide multi-generational families through deep, often difficult conversations about values, legacy, and measurable impact. That means starting with inquiry, moving through education, assessment, and implementation, and ending with real measurement — not in vague ESG scores, but in tangible results like gallons of water saved, emissions avoided, or communities reached.Mark knows that impact is a moving target, but he also knows how to hit it: by staying curious, staying human, and staying honest about what money can and cannot do.Tune in to hear how he turns that approach into measurable impact.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:

Dimitri and Khalid are joined by returning guest Jay the Neuroscientist (@the_hague_icc) for a spiritual sequel to SJ's Copemorehagen Deception episode (SJ 95), this time focusing on renegade hippie physicist Jack Sarfatti and far-out physics research in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1970s-80s. Topics include: David Keiser's book “How the Hippies Saved Physics”, the early ‘70s recession in government funding for physics research, Sarfatti and his repressed God Phone Call, Uri Geller coming to SRI, Bell's Theorem, fear of the “psy gap”, covert CIA funding conduits, how all of this crunchy North Beach marginalia is merging with UFO and AI God discourse in the 2020s, and more.

Señalización circunstancial y balizamiento Dispositivos temporales de obras, conos, paneles de mensaje variable o barreras que alteran el régimen normal de la vía. 3. Semáforos Luces reglamentarias que regulan el paso o la detención en cruces y carriles. 4. Señales verticales de circulación Paneles fijos o provisionales que advierten de peligros, obligan o informan (STOP, ceda el paso, límites de velocidad, direcciones, etc.). 5. Marcas viales Líneas, símbolos o palabras pintadas sobre el pavimento que ordenan carriles, posiciones de detención o prioridades.

My guest today is Sugandhi Matta, Chief Impact Officer at ABC Impact – the largest Pan-Asian impact-dedicated private equity fund, with nearly $900 million in AUM.Sugandhi began her career focused on growth and returns — first at Temasek, and later at Actis. But after a breast cancer diagnosis in her early thirties, she returned to work with a new question: What if she could apply her investing skills to businesses solving real problems?That question led her to LeapFrog Investments — and eventually to ABC Impact, where she became one of the founding partners. From the ground up, she helped build a fund that integrates impact into every step of the investment process, from deal screening to reporting.Today, ABC Impact invests across four themes:Climate and water solutionsFinancial and digital inclusionBetter health and educationSustainable food and agricultureSugandhi leads the firm's impact team. They developed a proprietary system rooted in the five dimensions of the Impact Management Project and tailored to ABC's sectors.The internal language centers on three Cs: consistency, comparability, and communicability. It's a disciplined approach – built to align intention, data, and outcomes across the portfolio.Sugandhi's goal is to hold impact to the same standard as IRR.However, she points out that the burden of proof is often uneven. Expected returns are taken at face value. Impact is asked to justify itself at every turn. Because investors don't yet trust its metrics the way they trust financial ones.The double standard isn't just about data. It's about gender, too.As one of the few female investment leads in Asia's private equity ecosystem, Sugandhi has had to thread her way through what she calls the “quiet skepticism” – the unspoken assumptions around risk appetite, ambition, or expertise.Even now, she's often the only woman in the room with GPs or LPs. She doesn't lead with gender, but she's aware of how it plays out. The skepticism is often unspoken, but present.Over time, she's learned not to internalize it. Instead, she focuses on the work, knowing that – fairly or not – being a woman in this space can mean having to prove yourself just a little more.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:ABC Impact websiteABC Impact LinkedInSugandhi Matta LinkedInABC's 2020 Impact ReportABC's 2024 Impact ReportInsights from Dalberg and ABC Impact's User-Centered Study—SRI360 interviews mentioned:

My conversation with Matthew Walker, PhD on faculty at UC Berkeley where he is a professor of neuroscience and psychology, the founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science, and has a long history of seminal contributions on sleep science and health. Audio File (also downloadable at Apple Podcast and Spotify)“Sleep is a non-negotiablebiological state required for the maintenance of human life . . . our needsfor sleep parallel those for air, food, and water.”—Grandner and FernandezEric Topol (00:07):Hello, it's Eric Topol with Ground Truths, and I am really delighted to welcome Matt Walker, who I believe has had more impact on sleep health than anyone I know. It's reflected by the fact that he is a Professor at UC Berkeley, heads up the center that he originated for Human Sleep Science. He wrote a remarkable book back in 2017, Why We Sleep, and also we'll link to that as well as the TED Talk of 2019. Sleep is Your Superpower with 24 million views. That's a lot of views here.Matt Walker:Striking, isn't it?Eric Topol:Wow. I think does reflect the kind of impact, you were onto the sleep story sooner, earlier than anyone I know. And what I wanted to do today was get to the updates because you taught us a lot back then and a lot of things have been happening in these years since. You're on it, of course, I think you have a podcast Sleep Diplomat, and you're obviously continued working on the science of sleep. But maybe the first thing I'd ask you about is in the last few years, what do you think has been, are there been any real changes or breakthroughs in the field?What Is New?Matt Walker (01:27):Yeah, I think there has been changes, and maybe we'll speak about one of them, which is the emergence of this brain cleansing system called the glymphatic system, but spreading that aside for potential future discussion. I would say that there are maybe at least two fascinating areas. The first is the broader impact of sleep on much more complex human social interactions. We think of sleep at maybe the level of the cell or systems or whole scale biology or even the entire organism. We forget that a lack of sleep, or at least the evidence suggests a lack of sleep will dislocate each other, one from the other. And there's been some great work by Dr. Eti Ben Simon for example, demonstrating that when you are sleep deprived, you become more asocial. So you basically become socially repellent. You want to withdraw, you become lonely. And what's also fascinating is that other people, even they don't know that you sleep deprived, they rate you as being less socially sort of attractive to engage with.Matt Walker (02:35):And after interacting with you, the sleep deprived individual, even though they don't know you're sleep deprived, they themselves walk away feeling more lonely themselves. So there is a social loneliness contagion that happens that a sleep deprived lonely individual can have almost a viral knock on effect that causes loneliness in another well-rested individual. And then that work spanned out and it started to demonstrate that another impact of a lack of sleep socially is that we stop wanting to help other people. And you think, well, helping behavior that's not really very impactful. Try to tell me of any major civilization that has not risen up through human cooperation and helping. There just isn't one. Human cooperative behavior is one of our innate traits as homo sapiens. And what they discovered is that when you are insufficiently slept, firstly, you don't wish to help other people. And you can see that at the individual level.Matt Walker (03:41):You can see it in groups. And then there was a great study again by Dr. Eti Ben Simon that demonstrated this at a national level because what she did was she looked at this wonderful manipulation of one hour of sleep that happens twice a year to 1.6 billion people. It's called daylight savings time at spring. Yeah, when you lose one hour of sleep opportunity. She looked at donations across the nation and sure enough, there was this big dent in donation giving in the sleepy Monday and Tuesday after the clock change. Because of that sleep, we become less willing to empathetically and selflessly help other individuals. And so, to me I think it's just a fascinating area. And then the other area I think is great, and I'm sorry I'm racing forward because I get so excited. But this work now looking at what we call genetic short sleepers and sort of idiots like me have been out there touting the importance of somewhere between seven to nine hours of sleep.Matt Walker (04:48):And once you get less than that, and we'll perhaps speak about that, you can see biological changes. But there is a subset of individuals who, and we've identified at least two different genes. One of them is what we call the DEC2 gene. And it seems to allow individuals to sleep about five hours, maybe even a little bit less and show no impairment whatsoever. Now we haven't tracked these individuals across the lifespan to truly understand does it lead to a higher mortality risk. But so far, they don't implode like you perhaps or I would do when you are limited to this anemic diet of five hours of sleep. They hang in there just fine. And I think philosophically what that tells me, and by the way, for people who are listening thinking, gosh, I think I'm probably one of those people. Statistically, I think you are more likely to be struck by lightning in your lifetime than you are to have the DEC2 gene. Think about what tells us, Eric. It tells us that there is a moment in biology in the evolution of this thing called the sleep physiological need that has changed such that mother nature has found a genetic way to ZIP file sleep.Matt Walker (06:14):You can essentially compress sleep from seven to nine hour need, down to five to six hour need. To me, that is absolutely fascinating. So now the race is on, what are the mechanisms that control this? How do we understand them? I'm sure much to my chagrin, society would like to then say, okay, is there a pill that I can take to basically ZIP file my own sleep and then it becomes an arms race in my mind, which is then all of a sudden six hours becomes the new eight hours and then everyone is saying, well, six hours is my need. Well I'll go to four hours and then it's this arms race of de-escalation of sleep. Anyway, I'm going on and on, does that help give you a sense of two of the what I feel the more fascinating areas?Eric Topol (07:01):Absolutely. When I saw the other recent report on the short sleep gene variant and thought about what the potential of that would be with respect to potential drug development or could you imagine genome editing early in life that you don't need any sleep? I mean crazy stuff.Matt Walker (07:19):It was amazing.Glymphatics and Deep Sleepfor more, see previous Ground Truths on this topic Eric Topol (07:22):No, the mechanism of course we have to work out and also what you mentioned regarding the social and the behavior engagement, all that sort of thing, it was just fascinating stuff. Now we touched on one thing early on to come back to the glymphatics these channels to get rid of the waste metabolites from the brain each night that might be considered toxic metabolites. We've learned a lot about those and of course there's some controversy about it. What are your thoughts?Matt Walker (07:55):Yeah, I think there's really quite comprehensive evidence suggesting that the brain has this cleansing system like the body has one the lymphatic system, the brain has one the glymphatic system named after these glial cells that make it up. And I think there's been evidence from multiple groups across multiple different species types, from mouse models all the way up to human models suggesting that there is a state dependent control of the brain cleansing system, which is a fancy way of saying if you are awake in light NREM, deep NREM or perhaps you're just quiet and you are resting in your wakefulness, the glymphatic system is not switched on at the same rate across all of those different brain states. And I think the overwhelming evidence so far using different techniques in different species from different groups is that sleep is a preferential time. It's not an exclusive time, it's a preferential time when that brain cleansing system kicks into gear because as some people have, I think argued, and you could say it's hyperbolic, but wakefulness is low level from a biochemicals perspective, it's low level brain damage and sleep is therefore your sanitary salvation that combat that biochemical cascade.Matt Walker (09:15):So in other words, a better way of putting it would be, sleep is the price that you pay for wakefulness in some ways. And I think there was a recent controversial study that came out in 2022 or 2023, and they actually suggested quite the opposite. They said using their specific imaging methods, they found that the sort of clearance, the amount of cerebral spinal fluid, which is what washes through the brain to cleanse the toxins, the rate of that flow of cerebral spinal fluid was highest during wakefulness and lowest during deep NREM sleep, the exact opposite of what others have found. Now, I think the defendants of the glymphatic sleep dependent hypothesis pushed back and said, well, if you look at the imaging methods. Firstly, they're nonstandard. Secondly, they were measuring the cerebral spinal flow in an artificial way because they were actually perfusing solutions through the brain rather than naturally letting it flow and therefore the artificial forcing of fluid changed the prototypical result you would get.Matt Walker (10:27):And they also argued that the essentially kind of the sampling rate, so how quickly are you taking snapshots of the cerebral spinal fluid flow. Those were different and they were probably missing some of the sleep dependent slow oscillations that seemed to sort of drive that pulsatile flow. Honestly, I think that paper was still very well done, and I still think there is right now, I would still cleave to the majority of overwhelming evidence considering it's not just from one group in one species, but across multiple species, multiple groups. And I think it's nevertheless a weight of burden that has pushed back. And my sense right now, I used to think and cleaves to the notion that it was a sleep expressly selective process. Now I don't think that that's the case anymore. I think that the glymphatic system is a dynamic system, but it's always looking for the opportunity to go into cleansing mode. And you can kind of go into almost like a low battery mode when you are awake, but in quiet rest. And I think that can drive some already early clearance from the brain and then when you go into sleep, it's like powering your phone off entirely. It truly gets the chance to cleanse and reboot the biochemical system. But I think it's really interesting. I think there's a lot of work still yet to be done. It's not quite as case closed as we used to think.Eric Topol (12:03):Yeah, I mean first of all, it's great that you straighten out the controversy because that's exactly what I was referring to. And secondly, as you also pointed out, the weight of the evidence is that it's a sleep dependent phenomena, particularly during flow wave deep sleep is at least what I've seen.Matt Walker (12:21):Yes.Eric Topol (12:22):What's also interesting, your point about it being dynamic, which fascinating, there was a paper in my field of cardiology, people with atrial fibrillation had less active glymphatic, less clearance which was really interesting. And then the other finding that's also noteworthy was that Ambien made things worse. What do you think about that?We Are An Embodied OrganismMatt Walker (12:45):I think it's really interesting, and just to come back to your point about the AFib paper, what we know is that this cleansing system in the brain does seem to track the big slow brainwaves of deep slow wave sleep, but it's not only tracking the big slow brainwaves. If anything, there's something to do with the cardiorespiratory cycle, the respiration rate and the cardiac signal that may actually sink with the brainwaves. And it's essentially a cardiorespiratory neurophysiological coupling, which is a lot of ways, which is to say heart, lungs and brain coupled together. And it's the coupling of the cardiorespiratory slow oscillations that drive these pulsatile fluid mechanical, it's literally a hydro mechanical, hydro meaning cerebral spinal fluid push and pull in and out of the system drawing those metabolites out. So ago, if you have a disrupted either cardiac or respiratory or neurophysiological signal, no wonder the glymphatic system isn't going to work as efficiently.Matt Walker (14:00):I think that's a beautiful demonstration of the hemineglect that people like me who study sleep largely from the neck upwards would miss. But if you think about sleep is not just for the brain, it's for the body and it's not just for the body, it's for the brain. And we're an embodied organism. We study the organism in silos, neurology, psychiatry, cardiology, respiratory, but they all interact. And so, I think what's lovely about your example is the reminder that if you don't study the body in this study of the glymphatic system, you could miss out a profound explanation that possibly accounts for the head scratching, I don't know why we're getting this result. So that's a long way to come back to it. But the same group that was the pioneer in the discovery of the glymphatic system led by Maiken Nedergaard at the University of Rochester.In SUPER AGERS, p. 57. SRI-sleep regulatory indexSleep MedicationsMatt Walker (15:01):She has gone on to then look to say, well, if this is a sleep dependent process of brain cleansing during deep sleep, what about sleeping pills because so many people are either taking or are addicted to sleeping pills. And we've gone through, we're in the era of web 3.0 with sleeping pills, we started off web 1.0 which were the benzos, the kind of temazepam, diazepam, lorazepam. Then we went to web 2.0, which was sort of the Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta, Sonata. And what was common about those two classes of drugs is that they both went after something called the GABA receptor in the brain, which is this major inhibitory receptor in the brain. And essentially, they were called sedative hypnotics because they sedated your cortex. And when you take an Ambien and not going to argue you're awake. You're clearly not awake, but to argue you're a naturalistic sleep, if you look at this, physiology is an equal fallacy.Matt Walker (16:01):They made this interesting experimental hypothesis that when you take Ambien, you sleep longer and based on how you score deep sleep, it would seem as though Ambien increases the amount of minutes that you spend in deep sleep. But if you look at the electrical signature during that “increased deep sleep” it's not the same. Ambien takes a big bite. There's a big dent out of the very slowest of the slow brainwaves, and it's the slowest of the slow brainwaves that drive the glymphatic system. So what they found was that when you take Ambien or you give mice Ambien. Yes, they sleep longer, they seem to have more deep sleep, but the brain cleansing mechanism seem to be reduced by anywhere between 30-40%, which is counterintuitive. If you are sleeping more and you're getting more deep sleep and the glymphatic system is active during deep sleep, you should get greater cleansing of the brain.Matt Walker (17:05):Here they found, yes, the drug increased sleep, particularly deep sleep, but it empowered the cleansing of the brain system. Now, have we got evidence of that in humans yet? No, we don't. I don't think it's far away though, because there was a counter study that brings us onto web 3.0. There's a new class of sleep medications. It's the first class of medications that have actually been publicly advocating for, they're called the DORAs drugs, and they are a class of drugs and there's three of them that are FDA approved right now. DORA stands for dual orexin receptor antagonists, which means that these drugs go in there and they block the action of a chemical called orexin. What is orexin? Orexin is the volume button for wakefulness. It dials at wakefulness, but these drugs come into your system and unlike the sedative sort of baseball bat to the cortex, which is Ambien, these drugs are much more elegant.Matt Walker (18:11):They go down towards the brainstem and they just dial down the volume on wakefulness and then they step back, and they allow the antithesis of wakefulness to come in its place, which is this thing called naturalistic sleep. And people sleep longer. So as a scientist, you and I perhaps skeptics would then say, well, so you increase sleep, and I have four words for you. Yes, and so what. Just because you increase sleep, it doesn't mean that it's functional sleep. It could just be like the old notion of junk DNA, that it's epiphenomenal sleep. It's not functional sleep. There was a study out of WashU and they took 85-year olds and above and they gave them one of these DORAs drugs. It's a drug called Belsomra, it's a play on good sleep or beautiful sleep, chemical named suvorexant and randomized placebo control. What they found is that when they took the drug, yes, these older adults slept longer, they had more deep sleep, but then what they did was clever. Before and after the night of sleep, they drew blood because we can now measure markers of β-amyloid and tau protein circulating in the bloodstream, which are these two markers of Alzheimer's disease.Matt Walker (19:28):Why is that relevant to the glymphatic system? It's relevant because two of the pieces of metabolic detritus that the cleansing system washes away at night, β-amyloid and tau. I'm sure enough of what they found was that not only did the adults sleep longer with these sleeping medications, they also had a greater clearance of β-amyloid and tau within the bloodstream. So this was the exact opposite of the Ambien study, which was where they were seeing an impairment in the glymphatic activity. Here in humans was a study with the web 3.0 sleep medications. Suvorexant, not only did it increase sleep, but it seemed to increase. Well, the assumption was that it was increasing glymphatic clearance because at least as the end outcome product, there was greater clearance of β-amyloid and tau protein in the blood. It wasn't just junk sleep, it was functional sleep. So for the first time I'd seen a sleeping medication that increased sleep more naturalistically, but that increased sleep made you the organism function better the next day as a consequence. Does that make any sense?Eric Topol (20:38):Absolutely. And it's interesting that we may have a sleep medicine finally or a class that actually is doing what is desired. This is one of the other things I was going to ask you about is that as you pointed out, this is an interaction throughout the organism, throughout the human being, and we've seen studies about how sleep disrupts metabolism and through that of course, and even separately, can take down our immune system or disrupt that as well. And so, one of the questions I guess is your thoughts about these other effects because you mentioned of course the potential of looking at things like p-Tau217 markers or other markers that would denote the status of your ultimate risk for moving on to Alzheimer's disease. But there's these other factors that also play a role with lack of adequate sleep and perhaps particularly sleep quality. I wonder if you could just comment about this because there's so many different systems of the body that are integrated here, and so the sanitary effect that you just described with the ability to potentially see less, at least biomarkers for what would be considered risks to ultimately develop Alzheimer's, there's also these other very important effects when we talk about high quality sleep, I guess, right? And maybe you could comment about that.Matt Walker (22:21):Yeah, I think quantity is what we've been talking about in some ways, but quality has also come onto the radar as absolutely essential. And what we find is that the quality of your sleep is as if not more predictive of both all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, metabolic mortality, and in some regards, cancer mortality as well. And when I say quality of sleep, what we're really referring to here is at least one of two things. One is the continuity of your sleep. So you could be sleeping for eight and a half hours according to your sleep tracker, but maybe you are getting eight and a half hours by spending ten hours of time in bed because you are awake so much throughout the night and your sleep is very sort of punctured and littered with all of these awakenings across the night. That's sufficient quantity of sleep eight and a half hours, but it's poor quality of sleep because you are spending too much time awake.Matt Walker (23:30):And so, our measure of quality of sleep typically is what we call sleep efficiency. Of the time that you are in bed, what percent of that time are you asleep? And we like to see some measure of at least 85% or above because once you get less than 85% in terms of your sleep quality or your sleep efficiency, then you start to see many of these unfolding system-wide impairments. You seem to have high risk of diabetes, high risk obesity, high risk, as we said, cardiovascular disease. Also, hormonal changes both in men and in women. We see upstairs in the brain with poor quality of sleep, much more so than quantity of sleep. Poor quality of sleep is a more powerful predictor of mood disturbances and psychiatric conditions. And in fact, I think if you look at the data, at least in my center in the past 23 years, we've not been able to discover a single psychiatric condition in which sleep is normal, which to me is a stunning revelation. And what that tells us is that in many of those conditions they do seem to be getting not too bad of quantity of sleep. What is the marker of psychiatric sleep disturbance is not short quantity, it's poor quality of sleep. So I think it's a wonderful important point that I don't think we pay enough attention to, which is the quality.Eric Topol (25:05):Yes. And the other thing that you've emphasized, and I just want to reiterate to people listening or watching that is the regularity story, just like you said with quality. The data and I'll put the figure in that shows the link between regularity and cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, cancer, that regularity thing. A lot of people don't understand how important that is as well.Matt Walker (25:30):Stunning study from data from the UK Biobank, and this is across thousands and thousands of individuals and they tracked quantity and they tracked regularity and they split people up into the quartiles, those who were most regular and those who were least regular. And as you'll see in those sort of the figure that you flash up, those people who were in the upper quartile of regularity, de-risk all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, cardiovascular mortality, it was stunning. And then they did a cute little experiment of a statistical test where they took quantity because they had it in these individuals and regularity and they kind of put them in the same statistical bucket and did a sort of a Coke Pepsi challenge to see which one won out. And what it seemed to be was that regularity almost beat out quantity in terms of predicting all-cause mortality. Now that's not to say that you can get away with saying, well, I sleep four hours a night, but I sleep very regularly, consistently four hours a night. No, you need both, but regularity. I was someone who based on my remarkably vanilla and pedestrian personality, I've always been quite regular in my regard. But goodness me, even when I read that paper, I thought I'm doubling down on regularity. It's so important. That tells us, I think something that is in some ways a story not about sleep. It's a story about your circadian rhythm.Matt Walker (27:02):We speak a lot, or I speak a lot about sleep, and I think I've probably done a mis service to the other aspect of the sleep wake rhythmicity, which is called your 24 hours circadian rhythm. Now your sleep pressure, the drive to sleep is independent of your circadian rhythm, but they often work beautifully in harmony with each other, and you fall asleep, and you stay asleep. But I think the circadian system is critical because, excuse me, and what the circadian rhythm also regulates, sneezing right at the inopportune moment when you are recording a podcast. But nevertheless, what that tells me is that when you feed your brain signals of wake sleep consistency, which is to say wake, sleep, timing, regularity, there is something about feeding the brain signals of regularity that anchor your 24-hour circadian rhythm and as a consequence, it improves the quantity and the quality of your sleep. They're intertwined.What About Sleep Trackers?Eric Topol (28:09):That's a terrific explanation for what I think a lot of people don't appreciate it's importance. Now, last topic about tracking. Now we understand how important sleep is. It is the superpower I am with you on that really brought that to light in so many ways. But of course, now we can track it with rings with smart watches and we get these readouts things like efficiency as part of the Oura score and other rings and deep sleep or NREM, REM, the works, you can see your awake times that you didn't know you're awake and the whole bit. Do you recommend for people that aren't getting great sleep quality beyond that they should try to establish a regular schedule that they should track to try to improve it and of course how would they improve it? Or are these things like having a cold mattress temperature that is controlled? What are the tricks that you would suggest for trying to improve your sleep through tracking? Or do you think tracking shouldn't be done?Matt Walker (29:16):Oh gosh, it's such a wonderful question and as with wonderful questions, the answer is usually it's complicated and I have to be careful because for someone who's currently wearing three different sleep trackers, it's going to be hard for me to answer this question completely in the negative. And there are three different sleep trackers. But I would say that for the most part, I like the idea of sleep tracking if you are sleeping well, meaning if as long as you're not suffering from insomnia. The reason is because sleep unlike those two other critical of health, which is diet and exercise, is very difficult to subjectively estimate. So if I were to ask you, Eric, how many times have you worked out in the past week, you'd be able to tell me how cleanly or how poorly have you been eating in the past week. You could tell me.Matt Walker (30:09):But if I was to say to you, Eric, how much deep sleep did you get last Tuesday? And if you don't have a sleep tracker, you'd say, I don't know. And so, there's something useful about tracking, especially a non-conscious process that I think is meaningful to many. And often medicine we say what gets measured gets managed, and there is that trite sort of statement. I do think that that's still true for sleep. So many people I've spoken to have, for example, markedly reduced the amount of alcohol consumption because they've been seeing the huge impact that the alcohol consumption in the evening has on their ring smart ring data as a consequence. So overall, I think they're pretty good. When people ask me what's the best sleep tracker, I usually say it's the one that you wear most frequently because if I come up with a band, headband, chest straps, all sorts of different things and it's a hundred percent accurate, but after three uses of it, you stop using it, that's a useless sleep tracker. So I like to think about sleep trackers that are low friction and no friction. When we go to sleep, we take things off, we don't put things on. That's why I liked things like the ring. For example, I think that's a non-intrusive way. I think the mattress may be as if not better because it's a completely friction less device. You don't have to remember to charge it. You don't have to put it on, you just fall into bed, and it tracks your sleep.Matt Walker (31:40):One form factor, I like to think about sleep trackers is the form factor itself. But then the other is accuracy. And I think right now if you look at the data, probably Oura is winning the ring kind of wars. If you look at all wristband wars, I think it's probably the most accurate relative to something like Fitbit or Apple Watch or the Whoop Band. But they're all pretty close. I think Oura is probably the leader in class right now at least. Keep in mind that I used to be an advisor for Oura. I want to make that very clear. So take what I say with a grain of salt in that regard. I think to your question, well, I'll come back to mattresses in just one second.Matt Walker (32:34):For people who are struggling with sleep, I think you've got to be very, very careful with sleep trackers because they can have the counterproductive effect where I gave you the example of alcohol or eating too late. And these sleep trackers help you modify your behaviors to improve your sleep. Well, there are places where these trackers can actually do you a disservice. When you get so hyper focused on your data and your data not looking good each and every day, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of a negative spiral. And we now have a condition in sleep medicine called orthosomnia. So ortho in medicine typically means straightened. So you've heard of orthodontic straightening teeth, orthopedic straightening bones, orthosomnia is about getting so obsessed with getting your sleep perfect and your sleep straight that it causes an insomnia like syndrome. Now, I don't know, I think the press has made more of this than there is.Matt Walker (33:30):It probably is about 5-7% of the population. I would say at that moment in time, do one of two things. Either take the ring off entirely and just say, I'm going to get my sea legs back underneath me, get some cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. And when I'm confident I'll put the ring back on. Or don't throw the baby out with the bath water, keep wearing the ring. Try to say to yourself only on let's say a Sunday afternoon, will I open up the app and look historically what's been happening during the past week so that you keep getting your data, but you don't get the angiogenic daily sort of repetition of reinforcement of I'm not sleeping well. I should also note by the way that I think sleep trackers are not a substitute for either a sleep recording laboratory, but also, they're not a substitute for ultimately telling you entirely how good your sleep is.Matt Walker (34:24):Don't forget, you should always keep in mind how do I feel the next day? Because I think a lot of people will see their readiness score as 92 and they feel miserable. They just feel rough. And then another day, my readiness score was 62 and I just went out and I just ran my fastest five mile that I've done in the past six months. So don't forget that subjective sense of sleep is just as important as objective measures of sleep. The final thing I would say to your point about the mattresses, I actually do think that they are a really great vehicle for sleep augmentation because these smart mattresses, they're filled with sensors, things like Eight Sleep, and they will assess your physiology, they will track your sleep just like a sleep tracking ring. But what's also good is that because they can manipulate temperature and your sleep is so thermoregulatory sensitive that they create this kind, it's almost like this bent arc of thermal story throughout the night because you have to warm up at the surface to cool down at the core to fall asleep, then you have to stay cool to stay asleep, then you have to warm up to wake up and they take you through that natural change.Matt Walker (35:41):But they do it intelligently because they're measuring your sleep minute to minute. And then they're saying, I'm tweaking temperature a little bit. Has sleep improved? Has it become worse? Oh, it's become better. Let's lean into that. Let's get them even colder. Oh, wait a second, it's getting worse. Let's warm it back up a little bit. It's like a staircase method, like a Richter shock. And gradually they find your sweet spot and I think that is a really elegant system. And now they're measuring snoring. Snoring perturbations, and they can augment the bed and raise the angle of the bed up just a little bit so that the gravity doesn't have as much of a hold on your airway because when you're lying on your back, the airway wants to collapse down to gravity, and when you raise back up again, it will change that. And so, I think that there's lots of new advantages in, I think mattress technology that we'll see coming out into the future. I think it's a great vehicle for sleep augmentation.Eric Topol (36:37):That's terrific. Well, this has been for me, very educational, as I would've predicted, if anybody's up on everything in this area, it would be you. So thank you, Matt. It's a really brilliant discussion, really enlightening. We could talk some more hours, but I think we've encapsulated some of the big things. And before we finish up, is there anything else you wanted to say?Matt Walker (37:05):No, I think just to thank you for both your work in general in terms of science communication, your offer here specifically to allow me to try to be a very poorly communicated voice of sleep, and also just what you've done in general for I think the accuracy of science communication out into the public. Please never stop, continue to be a shining light for all of us. You are remarkable. Thank you, Eric.Eric Topol (37:31):Oh, you're very kind. And I look forward to the next chance we get to visit in person. It's been too long, Matt. And all the best to you.

Ever wondered how kids can learn complex science concepts while having fun? In this eye-opening episode of Reading with Your Kids, we dive into the fascinating world of educational media and child development with two incredible guests who are changing how we think about learning. First up, Todd Grindal from SRI shares groundbreaking research about how shows like Cat in the Hat can teach preschoolers real scientific principles. Imagine four-year-olds understanding bridge stability and friction through playful television content! The study revealed that children who watched educational programming could describe scientific concepts and apply them in real-world scenarios - all while having a blast. The key takeaway? Not all screen time is created equal. Quality, intentionally designed educational media can be a powerful learning tool when parents engage alongside their children. Todd emphasizes that young children are natural scientists, constantly experimenting and asking questions about the world around them. But the learning doesn't stop there. We also meet Audrey Weatherstone, author of "Lady Needed Space," a heartwarming children's book about her reactive rescue dog. Audrey's story goes beyond cute canine tales, teaching children and parents about understanding animal body language, emotional intelligence, and respecting boundaries. Both guests highlight a crucial point: learning happens through connection, curiosity, and compassionate engagement. Whether it's watching scientific adventures on PBS or reading about a dog's emotional journey, children absorb incredible lessons when adults create supportive, interactive experiences. Parents, take note: educational media isn't about passive consumption. It's about watching together, asking questions, and turning screen time into quality learning time. From scientific concepts to emotional understanding, there's a world of discovery waiting for you and your kids. Ready to transform how your family learns?

My guest today is Michelle Arevalo-Carpenter, Co-Founder of IMPAQTO and General Partner at IMPAQTO Capital. Michelle is a human rights lawyer by training, a fund builder by calling, and one of the most compelling system-reimaginers I've ever had on the show.Michelle's journey has taken her from a small apartment in Quito to the halls of Oxford and the UN — and back again. What she learned along the way is that real change doesn't come from reports or elite institutions. It comes from being close to the problem — and the people.Back in Quito, Michelle started where many great entrepreneurial stories begin — with no office, no plan, just an instinct that something better could exist. Over a hundred coffees with local founders, she kept hearing the same themes: isolation, lack of support, funding that didn't fit.In response, she created IMPAQTO, Ecuador's first coworking space for social ventures, not because she had a real estate vision, but because people needed a place to belong. “They weren't paying for square meters,” she said. “They were paying to not be alone.”From there, IMPAQTO grew — into an accelerator, a research platform, a voice in policy. But the biggest problem persisted: no capital. Or rather, the wrong kind of capital.Local businesses needed $10K–$500K. They didn't want to sell equity. They wanted to grow on their own terms. Too big for microfinance, too small for venture. “That's the missing middle,” Michelle said. “That's where we live.”So in 2021, she launched IMPAQTO Capital, a revenue-based investment fund designed not to chase unicorns but to nourish sustainable growth. Michelle described it not as alternative capital, but as capital that's appropriate for the context they're operating in.Rather than chasing foreign LPs, her team went local. They raised over half their first close from Ecuadorian and Andean-region families — people with lived experience inside the very systems the fund aims to change. “Our investors aren't impact tourists,” she said. “They're system insiders.”What Michelle is building isn't just a capital vehicle. It's an ecosystem intervention — a cultural shift that treats belonging as a precondition for growth, and care as critical infrastructure. She's also a co-founder of CLIIQ, a regional research and advocacy platform focused on unlocking catalytic capital for women-led businesses.At IMPAQTO Capital, every deal is evaluated not just on returns, but on whether it preserves the dignity and agency of the founder. Every exit includes a “cap party” — a ritual of closure and celebration that says: You did it. You paid us back. We're done. And we're proud.There's a lot to learn from Michelle. About capital. About leading with trust and care. About staying rooted in a place and still seeing the whole system.But mostly, about how change happens — not from the top down, but from the inside out. Slowly. With proximity. And with people who never forgot where they started.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:IMPAQTO Capital websiteIMPAQTO Ecosystem BuilderMichelle Arevalo-Carpenter websiteMichelle Arevalo-Carpenter LinkedIn

This spring, I had the chance to talk with four incredible guests, each with a different take on what it really means to put money to work and invest in line with your values.Across late March and April, we explored climate-smart timber, social finance powered by dormant bank accounts, fully impact-focused wealth advising, and how catalytic capital is reaching places most firms won't go.Here are the featured guests, along with links to their full interviews.Yasemin Saltuk Lamy, Head of Investment Strategy at Legal & General (L&G)Yasemin's path into impact investing started at J.P. Morgan, where she helped build the firm's Social Finance unit from scratch. At the time, even defining the term “impact investing” took months of debate. “We spent four months just on the word ‘intent,'” she told me.That focus on intent stuck with her – from J.P. Morgan to Omidyar to BII – where she helped lead the Catalyst Portfolio, growing it from $300 million to $1.6 billion. Her work was all about finding places where capital didn't naturally flow, and designing structures that would pull others in.Full episodeStephanie Cohn Rupp, Former CEO of Veris Wealth PartnersVeris Wealth Partners is one of the only wealth management firms out there that's 100% impact. No ESG sideline, no separate division. The whole firm is built around aligning portfolios with values.Another thing that stood out in my conversation with Stephanie was how methodical their process is. It starts with what they call “impact discovery” – getting into the client's mission, history, beliefs – and then building an investment policy around that.Full episodeStephen Muers, Chief Executive Officer of Better Society Capital (BSC)Stephen brings a systems lens to social finance, and that comes from experience. After years inside the UK government tackling big issues like energy policy, housing, and justice reform, he saw firsthand how strategy alone doesn't shift systems.At BSC, the mission isn't just to make good investments. It's to make social investment possible at scale.But BSC isn't trying to maximize its own portfolio. The goal is to grow the entire social investment market. Over the past decade, they've helped expand it twelve-fold across the UK. And yet, it still isn't enough. The capital's growing – but not at the pace the problems demand.Full episode Bettina von Hagen, Managing Director & CEO, EFM Investments & AdvisoryAt EFM, forests are managed as long-term, living assets. It's not just about timber – it's about carbon, conservation, and communities, all managed through a single strategy. The question isn't “how much can we harvest,” but “what's the best outcome for this acre?”EFM's approach is built on the five Rs: rotation, retention, reserves, restoration, and relationships. It's how they manage over 200,000 acres with just 11 staff and 90 contractors – by treating each forest like a custom portfolio.Sometimes that means harvesting. Sometimes it means carbon storage or tribal access. The goal is a forest that's more valuable ecologically, socially, and financially than it was before.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

PSD, în căutarea doctrinei pierdute. Cum poate partidul să recâștige încrederea electoratului ANALIZĂ (Adevărul) - INTERVIU Important economist, autor a 50 de cărți: „Un dezastru pentru România. Adică lucrez și 65% dau la stat?” / Dă un exemplu de companie de stat „pe care politicienii au pus-o pe butuci” (HotNews) - România, pământ chinezesc. Branduri românești sunt aplicate pe produse realizate în China și apoi vândute în țara noastră. Expert: „Este un vid legislativ” (Libertatea) Elefantul din odaia nașterii guvernului și fereastra de timp care se închide (SpotMedia)De aproape o lună România are premier și guvern interimar cu puteri limitate. Nu va putea trimite pe 4 iunie la Bruxelles un plan fiscal adoptat de reducere a deficitului bugetar la 7%, o reformă fără de care urmează blocarea fondurilor europene.E posibil să fi obținut de la Comisia Europeană o mică amânare, până la final de iunie, pentru adoptarea planului prin OUG, altă soluție nu prea există, de către un guvern cu puteri depline.Ca să ne încadrăm măcar în această amânare, săptămâna aceasta ar trebui să avem cel puțin numele premierului și formarea guvernului să intre în linie dreaptă.Există un singur nume politic credibil, de la distanță, pentru cetățeni. Ilie Bolojan. Dar cel mai mare partid, indispensabil guvernării, este PSD. De el depinde însăși existența guvernului și în mod normal el ar putea pretinde legitim funcția.PSD nu o vrea în mod special, dar nici nu o poate da degeaba. Deci cere compensații. Și pe masă e zestre mare, de la șefia SRI, pe care președintele doar o propune, majoritatea o decide în Parlament, șefia Camerei Deputaților, a Senatului, dacă dl Bolojan devine premier, doua poziții de judecători CCR, ministerele cheie, șefiile radio și TV publice, Avocatul Poporului etc.Și, sigur, mai există o întrebare cheie. Poate Ilie Bolojan să aibă încredere în PSD, în solidaritatea acestuia la greu, chiar dacă obține un acord acoperitor al coaliției?Pe de o parte, PSD nu are decât o conducere provizorie până la congresul din august. Acum va semna Sorin Grindeanu, dar asta nu înseamnă că viitorul președinte va rămâne de acord cu înțelegerea și că o nouă formulă de conducere nu va încerca să o remodeleze sub presiunea răsturnării guvernului.Sunt multe întrebări sensibile în jurul cărora se învârt discuțiile acestor zile, dar ar fi grav să mai treacă o săptămână cu tot felul de comisii și tatonări, fără desemnarea unui premier, comentează pe pagina SpotMedia jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu.PSD, în căutarea doctrinei pierdute. Cum poate partidul să recâștige încrederea electoratului ANALIZĂ (Adevărul)Finalul ciclului electoral deschide în PSD o perioadă cu mize ce depășesc simpla schimbare de lideri. În toamnă, formațiunea politică va organiza un Congres pentru alegerea noii conduceri și redefinirea liniei ideologice. Cei care solicită schimbarea doctrinei au spus că Partidul Social Democrat trebuie să devină un partid conservator. Astfel, la următorul Congres al PSD partidul ar părăsi familia social-democrată europeană și ar putea să își schimbe și numele.În prezent, statulul PSD menționează că „Partidul Social Democrat este un partid de stânga modern şi progresist, un partid naţional cu vocaţie europeană, membru al Partidului Socialiştilor Europeni şi al Internaţionalei Socialiste, continuatorul tradiţiei social-democraţiei româneşti” și „promovează doctrina social-democrată”.Politologul Cristian Pârvulescu explică faptul că „stânga se centrează pe egalitate. Și la marile subiecte care sunt cruciale pentru egalitate, PSD este pe poziție ultraconservatoare cvasifascistă. De exemplu, problema căsătoriei între persoanele de același sex sau a parteneriatului civil. Problema avortului. (...) Problema migrației. Sunt foarte multe probleme pe care le abordează din perspectivă de dreapta. (...) în Europa centrală și de est nu s-au putut construi partidele de stânga, pentru că au fost decredibilizate de comuniști și pentru că nu prea a existat susținere”.Practic, PSD este un partid post-comunist dezideologizat, un partid care încearcă să ia voturi de peste tot, pentru care ideologia nu are nicio importanță, completează expertul pentru ziarul Adevărul.INTERVIU Important economist, autor a 50 de cărți: „Un dezastru pentru România. Adică lucrez și 65% dau la stat?” / Dă un exemplu de companie de stat „pe care politicienii au pus-o pe butuci” (HotNews)Directorul Institutului de Prognoză Economică din cadrul Academiei Române, Lucian Albu, reputat economist de dreapta și profesor, a discutat pentru publicul HotNews despre măsurile necesare României în dezbaterea echilibrării bugetului. Albu a atras atenția că una dintre cele vehiculate măsuri poate avea cele mai nefaste efecte pentru populație: impozitarea progresivă. „Cum am mai stimula forța de muncă să mai muncească?”, spune el. Economistul consideră că pe termen scurt creșterea TVA pentru celelate categorii care nu sunt în prezent la cota de 19% poate să fie o sursă „foarte sigură de a crește gradul de colectare și de a mai reduce din deficit”.România, pământ chinezesc. Branduri românești sunt aplicate pe produse realizate în China și apoi vândute în țara noastră. Expert: „Este un vid legislativ” (Libertatea)Tot mai multe companii autohtone comercializează în România produse cu propriile branduri și logouri, dar, de fapt, acestea sunt realizate în China. Acest fenomen se observă în special în industria auto și cea de electronice, dar este valabil și în altele, precum mobilă sau textile.Aceste produse sunt mai scumpe decât se vând în statul asiatic, câteodată costă chiar dublu sau triplu, sunt dar mai ieftine decât modelele europene sau americane similare comercializate în țara noastră. Libertatea vă prezintă cele mai întâlnite cazuri.Dacia Spring este, de fapt, un Dongfeng.Modelul electric al producătorului auto nu are nimic de-a face cu fabricile de la Mioveni. Acesta este produs în China de către un alt partener de afaceri al Renault, respectiv producătorul de stat Dongfeng. Însă în timp ce modelul chinez pornește cu un preț de la 5.500 de dolari pe Alibaba, echivalentul a 4.850 de euro, în România, grupul francez a trecut un preț de pornire de la 16.900 de euro în cea mai puțin dotată versiune, conform site-ului Dacia. Versiunea cea mai scumpă are un preț de listă de 19.900 de euro. Prețul prin programul Rabla pleacă de la 11.400 de euro.Sorin Mierlea, președinele asociației Infocons, care se ocupă cu protecția consumatorilor, spune că nu există legislație care să definească foarte clar ce înseamnă produs românesc.

My guest today is Eric Rice – back for his second appearance on the podcast.When we first spoke, he was running one of the only public equity funds in the impact space available to retail investors. Now, that fund has been shut down, the capital returned, and Eric has moved to private equity – specifically, to SEAF, an investor in emerging market SMEs.This time, we talked about what happened, why it happened, and what it says about the current state of impact.Eric's core thesis hasn't changed. The theory of change he developed at Wellington and BlackRock was simple: invest in companies doing socially useful work – even if they don't realize it yet – and help them grow into that identity.This was never ESG, and Eric is clear on the difference. ESG, he says, is about how a company operates. Impact is about what it does. “We weren't ESG investors by any means. We were thematic investors – we only invested in companies solving social or environmental problems.”That distinction got lost. Once the political backlash against ESG took hold, especially in the U.S., nuance didn't matter.Texas and a group of red states targeted a handful of BlackRock funds they deemed “too woke” to qualify for state investment. Among the six funds flagged, three were ones Eric had led. The result was that legitimate impact strategies became collateral damage in a culture war that had little to do with what those funds were actually doing.As Eric puts it, they were “a different animal from the beginning”, but their message got hijacked.After that, the pivot to private markets wasn't just strategic – it was necessary.At SEAF (Small Enterprise Assistance Funds), Eric is focused on small enterprises in emerging Europe, particularly in agriculture and food. Why? Because productivity in that sector is 40% of Western Europe's – and no one has modernized it.Eric and I talked about the limits of measurement frameworks, the role of trust in evaluating managers, and why so many funds labeled “impact” aren't actually doing anything different.This conversation is about what happens when a theory of change collides with political reality. It's about staying true to the work in an industry that often prioritizes marketing. And it's about the shift from public markets to private ones – not because it's easier, but because it offers more clarity, more control, and maybe even more impact.Listen to the full story.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:
What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show! When I sat down with Sri Mahabir, I expected a conversation about content and strategy, but what I got was a full-on masterclass in authenticity, grief, growth, and grit. Sri didn't just fall into social media management. She resisted the label until her life and business quite literally demanded it. From helping people get camera-ready to building strategy for doctors and lawyers, her journey is a perfect example of how saying yes to that one thing can actually open doors to all the things. We talked about how fear of judgment stops people from hitting record, and Sri reminded me (and now you) that what we're often scared of isn't being on camera. It's what might happen after we post. But we miss out on so much when we let that fear win.What moved me the most was her honesty about showing up in the hard seasons, like after being assaulted and losing her father in the same month. She could have hidden, but instead, she used the camera as a place to process, connect, and eventually heal. Her message was clear. Share what you want, when you're ready, but don't underestimate the impact of your story. Someone out there is waiting to hear it, not because it's perfect, but because it's real. Sri is the kind of guest that makes you feel both seen and called in, like she's handing you permission to be messy, to be human, and to still hit record anyway.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: In spite of her camera shyness, Sri Mahabir was determined to share her story and the stories of other entrepreneurs. In April of 2020, Sri created the IG live series Journey of an Entrepreneur.” After interviewing 100 entrepreneurs, she realized her passion. Sri helps medical, dental and law practices to build awareness to their practices by using social media, video, and podcasts to bring in leads, opportunities for public speaking engagements, and being a guest on a podcast. Sri is a social media manager and remote producer who offers a done-for-you service: social media management, live recording of content, video editing, and producing your live streaming show or podcast. Sri has another show which she guest Hosts w/ Russ Hedge & D Scott Wednesdays Morning on IG called The Experience Backstage Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Connect with Sri!LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/SrimahabirWhere can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosTired of battling your body?

This 4-in-1 compilation episode is about capital that doesn't flow on its own. It has to be pushed into places with no pitch decks and no polished management teams. The places where spreadsheets say “too risky,” but the need is obvious to anyone paying attention.This is capital for the common good, yes – but it's also capital that works. These aren't grants. These are investments with measurable returns and track records to prove it.In this episode, we revisit conversations with four guests who've built the policies and portfolios to make this kind of capital move.Jenn Pryce, President and CEO of Calvert Impact CapitalJenn describes Calvert Impact Capital as a bridge between retail capital and the places banks won't go – solar in Sub-Saharan Africa, affordable housing in the U.S., even sovereign bonds too small for Wall Street to care about. With over $2.5 billion raised, their flagship Community Investment Note is accessible for as little as $20.For Jenn, community investing isn't about beating the market – it's about redefining it. “We've learned the risk isn't where people think it is,” she says. By working through local intermediaries and building data-driven track records, Calvert helps prove what's possible.Full episodeBen Rick, Co-Founder of Social and Sustainable Capital (SASC)Ben left the City not because he couldn't succeed there – but because he did. After years at Goldman, UBS, and Lehman, the returns stopped justifying the worldview. “Surely there's something I can do that's better than this,” he told himself.That became Social and Sustainable Capital, a private credit fund lending to UK charities – no shareholders, no profit motive, but plenty of contracts to deliver critical services.SASC backs groups supporting domestic abuse survivors, people with disabilities, and youth exiting care – organizations with steady revenue but little access to traditional finance.Full episodeStephen Muers, Chief Executive Officer of Better Society Capital (BSC)Stephen Muers came to Better Society Capital after a high-level government career – and brought with him a systems brain. At BSC, the mission isn't just to make good investments. It's to make social investment possible at scale.BSC operates at the wholesale level, backing funds that then invest in frontline charities, social enterprises, and mission-driven lenders.BSC is also focused on market transformation. In 10 years, they've helped grow the UK social investment market 12-fold. And yet, it still isn't enough.Full episodeStewart Langdon, Partner and Co-Head of South Asian Investments at LeapFrog InvestmentsStewart joined LeapFrog early, back when the firm was still raising its first fund. He came in to help move serious capital into places most investors overlook – India, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia – and do it in a way that actually reaches people.LeapFrog started with insurance. Not because it was easy, but because it mattered. Health shocks, accidents, lost assets – these were the things pulling families back into poverty. Then came credit. Then healthcare. Same model each time: back companies already trusted in their communities, and help them grow.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK
How would the world be different if Catholics truly radiated the joy of the Gospel?

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself, and He also comes as the ācārya. He's both devotee and Kṛṣṇa at the same time. So there's a double benefit. He's teaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness as a devotee, but He's also Kṛṣṇa. If one dedicates him or herself to the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, which means to—in service, what it means to dedicate oneself to the lotus feet, it means to become a servant and think, 'How can I do something to assist the Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu? What is His desire and how can I help Him?' And if one does this, then the person will know the true essence of devotional service. Then He goes on to say that the heart of anyone who gives submissive aural reception to the pleasing and sweet pastimes of Lord Caitanya immediately becomes cleansed of all material contamination— 'hṛdoya nirmala.' This contamination in the heart is completely cleansed if one gets on a regular schedule of hearing about Kṛṣṇa and about Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Then He says, 'Anyone who simply chants the name of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya will immediately develop love of God.' So try 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.' As I was doing āratik in my home this morning, and I offer the incense, and then I have to walk out on the porch to plant the incense, and then when I offer the lamp, I had to walk in the other room to find Nirakula to let her touch the lamp. And all the time I was still chanting the 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda' mantra. And I was remembering that the first time I came in contact with the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Movement, I got a magazine that had a picture of Lord Caitanya on the front, and then it had the mantra of 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda.' Also there was an article where Prabhupāda said we are following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya. And I became fascinated by the form of Lord Caitanya. I didn't know exactly who He was, but I started reading. I always felt that whenever, after I joined the temple, we'd chant the 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya' mantra, or I'd hear somebody else chant it, there was special mercy coming from that mantra. And then I confirmed it. It's in all the śāstra saying that the name of Caitanya Mahāprabhu is especially merciful. The name of Kṛṣṇa and all the names of God are known to be fully potent, but the name of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, says Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, is especially merciful because Caitanya Mahāprabhu doesn't consider any offenses when you chant.So if you chant the name of Sri. Chaitanya, then you'll immediately develop love of Godhead. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

This 4-in-1 compilation episode focuses on a persistent disconnect between capital and capability: women are founding businesses at record rates and leading high-performing funds, yet the capital rarely follows.In other words, women are underrepresented both in receiving and managing capital.Today's episode is about those pushing back against that trend – women-led investment managers and those intentionally channeling capital into women-led businesses.Here are the featured guests:Sharon Vosmek, CEO of Astia & Managing Partner of the Astia FundSharon Vosmek doesn't see gender equity in venture as a social goal – she sees it as a market inefficiency. With just 2–3% of VC funding going to women CEOs, she argues the system consistently overlooks high-potential founders. At Astia, she's investing in women-led startups with strong early traction, particularly in underserved sectors like women's health. She also challenges the informal, male-dominated networks – boardrooms, golf courses – where most deals are still made.Full episode Dr. Tara Bishop, Founder and Managing Director of Black Opal VenturesTara co-founded Black Opal Ventures to invest where healthcare and technology collide – and where traditional VC often misses.She and her partner, Eileen Tanghal, raised $63 million from institutional investors like Eli Lilly and JP Morgan, becoming one of the rare female- and minority-led funds in venture. Their portfolio reflects that identity: women-led companies, underserved markets, and problems overlooked by legacy capital.Full episode Tammy Newmark, CEO and Managing Partner of EcoEnterprises FundTammy leads EcoEnterprises Fund, a women-run investment firm focused on nature-positive businesses across Latin America. For over two decades, she's backed companies in sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, and agroforestry – many led by women and rooted in rural or Indigenous communities.Gender equity isn't the fund's focus, but it runs through the portfolio: in leadership teams, supply chains, and daily operations. About half of their investments meet 2X Challenge criteria – not because it's the mandate, but because that's who's doing the work.With $150 million under management, the fund combines financial discipline with long-term environmental and social goals.Full episode Stephanie Cohn Rupp, CEO of Veris Wealth PartnersStephanie runs Veris Wealth Partners, one of the few wealth management firms built from the ground up to do just one thing: impact. With $2.3 billion under management and offices across the U.S., Veris has been majority women-led and women-owned since its founding in 2007.It's built entirely around impact – certified B Corp, net zero, and intentionally conflict-free – and applies that lens across every asset class, with a deep focus on racial equity, climate, gender, and community wealth.For Stephanie, this isn't about doing impact. It's about being built for it.Full episode—The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email update.Visit the SRI360° PODCAST.Visit the SRI360° WEBSITE.Follow SRI360° on X.Follow SRI360° on FACEBOOK.
