In 2014, Tonga had no national netball team, coach, squad, or training facilities. Determined to change that, former television news anchor Salote Sisifa became CEO of Tonga Netball and promised the board that within five years she would build a team capable of competing internationally and reaching the world's top 10 by 2025. If she failed, she would resign. Alongside, Head Coach Jaqua Pori-Makea-Simpson, Salote propelled Tonga from 42nd to seveth in the world rankings navigating national disaster, the Covid-19 pandemic, and restricted resources along the way. This episode of The Documentary Podcast examines Tonga's extraordinary journey and how they have become a formidable force on the international stage. Their next milestone is their Commonwealth Games debut in 2026.

L'Océanie ancienne : de Maui à Kamehameha Ier : dernière glaciation-début du XIXe siècleDe Sumatra à l'île de Pâques, un ensemble d'îles, dont l'une a la dimension d'un continent, forme l'Océanie, qui occupe un tiers de la superficie de la terre. Son histoire commence voici 70000 ans, quand des populations venues d'Asie traversent des étendues marines pour poursuivre leur route vers l'est. Ceux qui migrent tôt dans ce qui deviendra l'Australie et la Nouvelle-Guinée restent terriens. Les autres deviennent définitivement des hommes et des femmes de la mer avec l'arrivée des Austronésiens. Au gré des variations climatiques et de leurs connaissances techniques, ils peuplent les îles, jusqu'à atteindre les rivages de l'Amérique avec leurs pirogues. L'Océanie est un espace ouvert et très vite mondialisé dans sa partie occidentale ; les échanges s'avèrent souvent vitaux pour les insulaires.Cette histoire est plurielle. Elle inclut le destin de thalassocraties comme Srivijaya, Majapahit ou Tonga, de principautés structurées, des Moluques aux Hawaï, ou encore de simples chefferies héréditaires ou gouvernées par des « big men », en Mélanésie et chez les Papous. Les organisations sociales qui en résultent évoluent au gré des contacts avec les Indiens, les Chinois et les Malais en Insulinde, ou des migrations, notamment des Polynésiens en Mélanésie. Les populations évoluant en vase clos sont rares : elles le deviennent à la suite d'un événement climatique, comme en Nouvelle-Zélande ou sur l'île de Pâques, isolées à partir du XVe siècle à la suite de modifications des vents et des courants. Les Aborigènes sont une exception : un monde à part, sans contact avec l'extérieur, si ce n'est à quelques rares occasions sur les côtes nord du continent. L'arrivée brutale des Européens, à la fin du XVIIIe et au début du XIXe siècle, terme de cet ouvrage, bouleverse ces sociétés : elle provoque des désastres démographiques, des transformations économiques, politiques et culturelles de grande ampleur, parfois jusqu'à l'effondrement.Pour écrire l'histoire de ces espaces en mouvement constant, dont les traces sont ténues et les sources écrites rares, Dominique Barbe mobilise d'abondantes recherches ethnologiques et anthropologiques. Il emprunte les pistes ouvertes par l'étude du génome humain, l'histoire du climat et de l'environnement. Les avancées récentes de l'archéologie, avec ses techniques novatrices, apportent des connaissances et des éclairages nouveaux. Enrichi d'une quarantaine de cartes originales, illustré de près de deux cents documents, ce livre, sans équivalent, retrace l'histoire de ces hommes et de ces femmes qui eurent la volonté de rester toujours et partout en relation avec la mer.L'auteur, Dominique Barbe, est notre invité en studioHébergé par Audiomeans.

Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp has come out firing today, saying that China's nuclear-capable missile test yesterday was smack bang inside the South Pacific nuclear-free zone. Just hours after giving the New Zealand Government a heads-up, China launched a long-range ballistic missile from a submarine into the area. It's not saying where it was launched from, nor where it landed. I get where Wayne Mapp is coming from. But there's a technicality. Which I'll get to. It's being viewed by some as China retaliating to Australia and Fiji signing a new defence alliance, which also happened yesterday. This is called the Ocean of Peace Alliance. Anthony Albanese was in Fiji yesterday for that. He's also heading to the Solomon Islands to continue negotiating a treaty there. And, when he gets back to Canberra, he's going to be hosting leaders from Tonga, Samoa and Papua New Guinea.So, if China was sending a message yesterday, it won't just be aimed at the Fiji agreement. It'll also be ticking-off Albanese for his South Pacific charm offensive. But there's a chance here that the people jumping up and down about what China did yesterday might look somewhat hypocritical, given the United States did its own missile testing in the South Pacific back in March. There's also the fine print in the South Pacific nuclear-free zone agreement. It was originally signed by Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Island countries in 1985 and bans the use, testing and possession of nuclear weapons in the South Pacific area. China signed up to parts of it two years later, in 1987, but didn't agree to the no-testing part. So, technically, it was fully within its rights to do what it did yesterday. Besides which, it was a dummy missile. Which is why I think we need to calm the farm and see it for what it is. It's just a bit of flexing, and the Pacific region is under no greater threat from China than it was before this happened. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adoption in the Pacific is very different from the way it's done in other countries.  If children aren't being raised by their birth parents, there are aunties, uncles or grandparents who will take them in.  But for Pacific kids in the diaspora, adoption can go several ways.  There are cultural adoptions, or a child may be adopted in line with the policies of the country – like New Zealand, Australia or the US.  On Sistas Let's Talk Natasha Meten explores the complexities of adoption for Pacific children.  She speaks to American-Tongan adoptee Amanda Sullivan-Lee, Kolish Ruby Hart from Papua New Guinea and academics based in Australia Dr Inez Fainga'a-Manu Sione and Dr Ruth Lute Faleolo. Listen on ABC Radio Australia.

Việt Nam : Mắt xích quan trọng trong chiến lược thay đổi quốc phòng của Nhật Bản

TẠP CHÍ VIỆT NAM

Tháng 04/2026, Nhật Bản “sửa đổi ba nguyên tắc về chuyển giao các thiết bị và công nghệ quốc phòng” để xây dựng chiến lược quốc phòng mới, trong đó có mục đích mở rộng hoạt động xuất khẩu sang cả các loại vũ khí sát thương. Một cơ chế mới cũng đã được thành lập - Chương trình Hỗ trợ an ninh chính thức (OSA) - nhằm mục đích thúc đẩy hợp tác kỹ thuật và trang thiết bị quốc phòng. Và Việt Nam được Nhật Bản xác định là ứng cử viên ưu tiên trong chương trình OSA. Những thay đổi mới trong chính sách quốc phòng của Nhật Bản có tạo thêm những cơ hội mới cho hợp tác với Hà Nội trong lĩnh vực này không ? RFI Tiếng Việt phỏng vấn nghiên cứu sinh Nguyễn Thế Phương, chuyên về lĩnh vực an ninh hàng hải, Đại học New South Wales, Úc. RFI : Trả lời báo tài chính Nikkei Asia ngày 23/04/2026, ông Minoru Kihara, chánh văn phòng thủ tướng Nhật Bản, cho biết Tokyo đã cho phép “sửa đổi ba nguyên tắc về chuyển giao các thiết bị và công nghệ quốc phòng”. Nội dung chính sách mới của Nhật Bản là gì? Tại sao Tokyo lại thay đổi chính sách vào thời điểm này ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Sau Chiến tranh Thế giới thứ hai, toàn bộ tư duy chiến lược của Nhật là tập trung vô phát triển kinh tế nội địa và tư duy chiến lược của Nhật là chủ hòa. Việc Nhật Bản thay đổi “ba nguyên tắc về chuyển giao các thiết bị quốc phòng” nằm trong sự thay đổi căn bản trong tư duy quốc phòng, văn hóa chiến lược của họ kể từ khoảng đầu thế kỷ thứ XXI với sự trỗi dậy của Trung Quốc, môi trường an ninh khu vực diễn biến ngày càng phức tạp : Sự gia tăng sức mạnh của các hoạt động đơn phương mà nhiều học giả nói là “cố tình thay đổi trạng thái trật tự” của Trung Quốc, đặc biệt là những vấn đề tranh chấp trên biển. Đối với Nhật Bản, một trong những mối nguy nữa, đó là mối đe dọa từ Bắc Triều Bắc. Cũng nói thêm một chút, nước Mỹ dưới thời Donald Trump mong muốn đồng minh, đặc biệt là những đồng minh hiệp ước của họ, có những chính sách và có tiếng nói mạnh mẽ hơn trong việc tự lực xây dựng năng lực quốc phòng, chứ không còn hoàn toàn dựa vào Mỹ với tư cách là một quốc gia bảo trợ an ninh nữa. Điểm thứ ba là điểm mà nhiều người bỏ qua, đó là Nhật Bản cần một cách tiếp cận mới hơn để làm mới ngành công nghệ quốc phòng trong nước. Bởi vì từ trước tới nay, Nhật Bản cấm xuất khẩu trang thiết bị quốc phòng và vũ khí ra nước ngoài. Toàn bộ hạn chế về mặt xuất khẩu này khiến cho ngành công nghiệp Nhật, đặc biệt là công nghiệp quốc phòng, bị hạn chế tính cạnh tranh, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh hiện nay, với những cuộc xung đột khắp nơi trên thế giới thì thị trường vũ khí bắt đầu mang lại lợi nhuận rất lớn. Và Nhật Bản dường như cũng muốn bắt đầu thay đổi cách tiếp cận và tham gia vào thị trường công nghiệp quốc phòng chủ động hơn. Đọc thêmViệt Nam, Nhật Bản "mạnh mẽ" chống lại việc làm thay đổi nguyên trạng các vùng biển trong khu vực Và cuối cùng là yếu tố nội bộ, đó là sự thay đổi về mặt tư duy của liên minh cầm quyền Nhật Bản, bắt đầu từ thời Shinzo Abe. Cách đây khoảng 10-15 năm, đảng Dân Chủ Tự Do đề xuất Chiến lược Ấn Độ-Thái Bình Dương. Việc này cho thấy rằng đảng Dân Chủ Tự Do mong muốn đưa nước Nhật ra khỏi tư duy chủ hòa và tham gia nhiều hơn về việc tái định hình cấu trúc an ninh khu vực. Đây là bốn điểm tạm gọi là “bốn nền tảng” để giải thích tại sao Nhật Bản bắt đầu phải thay đổi nguyên tắc về chuyển giao thiết bị công nghệ quốc phòng. Với việc thay đổi nguyên tắc mới, họ sẽ bắt đầu không giới hạn thiết bị chuyển giao, mà sẽ mở rộng tới những loại trang thiết bị có thể là sát thương, ví dụ vũ khí tấn công, xe tăng, máy bay và những trang bị khác. Điểm thứ hai, Nhật Bản cho phép hợp tác phát triển các loại vũ khí song phương, một ví dụ ở đây là phát triển máy bay chiến đấu thế hệ thứ năm giữa Nhật, Anh và Ý. Điểm này sẽ cho phép Nhật chủ động hơn, thích ứng linh hoạt hơn trong chính sách phát triển công nghiệp quốc phòng. RFI : Việt Nam thiết lập quan hệ đối tác chiến lược toàn diện với Nhật Bản. Việt Nam là quốc gia thứ 11 ký một thỏa thuận chuyển giao thiết bị, công nghệ quốc phòng với Nhật Bản. Cho đến nay, Tokyo hỗ trợ Hà Nội như thế nào trong khuôn khổ này ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Trước đây, việc hỗ trợ về mặt chuyển giao thiết bị hoặc công nghệ quốc phòng song phương, chủ yếu Việt Nam sẽ là bên nhận. Những hỗ trợ này chủ yếu xoay quanh việc nâng cao năng lực nhận thức hàng hải, an ninh biển và chủ yếu liên quan đến những loại trang thiết bị vũ khí phi sát thương. Điểm nổi bật thứ nhất là việc chuyển giao tàu tuần tra và phương tiện giúp Việt Nam có thể cải thiện năng lực tuần tra hàng hải, tiêu biểu là việc Việt Nam nhận một số loại tàu cảnh sát biển loại biên của Nhật Bản. Những tàu này thực ra vẫn rất tốt và vẫn phục vụ rất hiệu quả trong quá trình Việt Nam bảo vệ lợi ích trên biển ở thời điểm hiện tại. Đây là khoản hỗ trợ lớn nhất. Đọc thêmViệt Nam, Nhật Bản đạt thỏa thuận về chuyển giao công nghệ quốc phòng Thứ hai là thiết bị giám sát công nghệ hàng hải, ví dụ radar, các thiết bị lặn, công nghệ viễn thám, thông tin liên lạc phục vụ cho quá trình tìm kiếm, cứu nạn, giám sát thực địa trên biển. Và thứ ba là đào tạo, nâng cao năng lực chuyên môn cho các lực lượng của Việt Nam, đặc biệt là lực lượng cảnh sát biển và kiểm ngư. Đây là điểm mà hai bên thường xuyên tiến hành : Trao đổi đoàn, trao đổi tàu, lực lượng Việt Nam qua Nhật Bản để tập huấn. Ở đây tập trung vào một số vấn đề phi tác chiến, ví dụ quân y, phá bom mìn, khắc phục hậu quả chiến tranh, an ninh mạng. Đối với quân đội còn có gìn giữ hòa bình. Đó là ba mảng mà Việt Nam nhận được hỗ trợ có thể nói là rõ ràng nhất từ Nhật Bản thông qua chương trình chuyển giao thiết bị và công nghệ quốc phòng. RFI : Việt Nam được Nhật Bản xác định là ứng cử viên ưu tiên cho Chương trình Hỗ trợ an ninh chính thức (OSA). Anh có thể giải thích OSA là gì ? Theo một quan chức chính phủ Nhật Bản, “quá trình này đôi khi có thể mất thời gian”. Những nước được chọn để hợp tác an ninh thông qua OSA có vai trò như thế nào trong chiến lược của Nhật Bản ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : OSA (Official Security Assistance) là hỗ trợ an ninh chính thức. Đây là một trong những chương trình rất mới, là một công cụ đối ngoại rất mới của Nhật, được thông qua trong chiến lược an ninh quốc gia cuối năm 2022. ODA, là một khái niệm mà chúng ta rất quen thuộc, chỉ giới hạn nghiêm ngặt (ở đây từ “nghiêm ngặt” là từ quan trọng) cho phát triển kinh tế-xã hội. Cho nên nếu như Nhật Bản muốn hỗ trợ về mặt an ninh quốc phòng cho các quốc gia khác thì họ phải tạo ra một cơ chế hoàn toàn mới, chứ không phải là ODA. Thì OSA chính là kết quả. Nói một cách đơn giản OSA chính là ODA nhưng chỉ được dùng cho lĩnh vực an ninh và quân sự. Quá trình này rất mất thời gian bởi vì Nhật Bản sẽ phải thiết lập quy trình khảo sát nhu cầu của bên nhận, đối chiếu nhu cầu đó với pháp luật nội bộ của Nhật, mà chúng ta biết là pháp luật của Nhật về mặt này rất khắt khe. Và nó yêu cầu cả bên cho - ở đây là Nhật - và cả bên nhận - là các quốc gia khác - phải thảo luận rất lâu và rất kỹ để có thể đưa ra được một danh sách tiếp nhận các loại hỗ trợ cho phù hợp. Đọc thêmNhật Bản và Việt Nam tăng cường hợp tác an ninh, ủng hộ thương mại tự do Danh sách các quốc gia được hỗ trợ và có tiềm năng nhận được hỗ trợ OSA từ Nhật Bản vào thời điểm hiện tại chỉ tầm 12 nước, chủ yếu là các nước ở Ấn Độ Dương, Thái Bình Dương, trong đó có 5 nước Đông Nam Á (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Việt Nam và Thái Lan). Nam Á có hai nước là Bangladesh với Sri Lanka. Ngoài ra còn một số quốc đảo Thái Bình Dương, ví dụ Papua New Guinea, Tonga. Có thể thấy rõ là có Đông Nam Á, khu vực cốt lõi trong chiến lược Ấn Độ-Thái Bình Dương của Nhật Bản, và đặc biệt là khu vực các quốc đảo Nam Thái Bình Dương hiện đang là khu vực cạnh tranh địa lý khá gay gắt giữa các quốc gia đồng minh của Mỹ và Trung Quốc. Gần đây, Tokyo tăng ngân sách dành cho OSA trong năm tài khóa 2026 lên tầm 112 triệu đô la. Số lượng sẽ không lớn đứng dưới góc độ về mặt ngân sách. Nhưng trong tương lai, ngân sách mà Nhật dành cho OSA sẽ ngày càng tăng và sẽ dựa vào khả năng nước Nhật thích ứng với sự thay đổi không ngừng của môi trường an ninh bên ngoài, cũng như trong chính sách đối nội của Nhật Bản, đặc biệt là việc Nhật điều chỉnh ba nguyên tắc hỗ trợ vũ khí và công nghệ quốc phòng. Trong tương lai, số lượng nước được nhận sẽ tăng lên, cũng như nội dung của OSA cũng sẽ được mở rộng hơn. RFI : Với chiến lược quốc phòng mới của Tokyo mở ra việc bán vũ khí sát thương, liệu trong tương lai, có thể có một chương trình hợp tác sâu rộng hơn về lĩnh vực này giữa Việt Nam và Nhật Bản ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Nhiều người kỳ vọng rằng hợp tác giữa Việt Nam và Nhật Bản trong tương về chuyển giao trang thiết bị cũng như là hỗ trợ OSA của Nhật Bản đối với Việt Nam sẽ được mở rộng. Tuy nhiên như đã trình bày, quá trình này sẽ không nhanh. Thứ nhất một phần cũng bởi vì phía Nhật Bản, như đã nói, họ sẽ rất kỹ trong vấn đề lựa chọn chuyển giao, tính minh bạch ra sao. Đọc thêmNhật Bản và Việt Nam nâng cấp quan hệ lên thành đối tác chiến lược toàn diện Thứ hai, nhu cầu của Việt Nam ở đây là gì ? Nhu cầu Việt Nam vẫn sẽ có. Nhưng theo tôi, trong tương lai gần, khoảng 5 năm, hợp tác quốc phòng giữa Việt Nam và Nhật Bản cũng sẽ chủ yếu xoay quanh nội dung về an ninh hàng hải, hỗ trợ các loại tàu cảnh sát biển, hỗ trợ Việt Nam đóng một số loại tàu cho cảnh sát biển hoặc là cho kiểm ngư ở trong nước, nhận một số loại trang thiết bị liên quan tới bảo đảm an ninh hàng hải, cũng như là nhận thức hàng hải ở khu vực, hỗ trợ liên quan tới vệ tinh chẳng hạn và tiếp tục huấn luyện. Còn những vũ khí tác chiến, theo tôi, sẽ phải là tương lai xa, cho tới khi nào Nhật Bản hoàn toàn dỡ bỏ những hạn chế về mặt xuất khẩu vũ khí tiến công và cho tới khi nào ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng của Nhật Bản trở nên cạnh tranh hơn, thì khi đó Việt Nam mới bắt đầu xem xét có hay không lựa chọn các loại vũ khí tác chiến của Nhật Bản như là một lựa chọn trong quá trình hiện đại hóa quân đội. Còn ở thời điểm hiện tại, khả năng đó rất là thấp. RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn anh Nguyễn Thế Phương, Đại học New South Wales, Úc.

I welcome Dutch historian Rutger Bregman to the podcast after first messaging him on Instagram and we talk about what I took from his book Humankind and my own wish to bring people together to remember friendship and kindness. Rutger reflects on Dutch directness and equality shaped by living with water, from the 1953 flood to the Delta Works, and shares why he writes for a general audience about big questions of human nature. We discuss his challenge to the “veneer theory” and his belief in “survival of the friendlies,” alongside a real shipwreck story near Tonga where six boys survived 15 months through cooperation. Our conversation turns to bullying, family and attachment, the Second World War and Rutger's research for Moral Ambition on how resistance spreads simply by asking others to help.01:10 Dutch Culture and Directness04:01 Water Engineering and Delta Works05:41 Early Civilizations and Conflict06:58 Why Bregman Writes Big History08:12 Debunking Human Nature Myths10:07 Cooperation at Highclere Today12:49 Tempest and Amoral People13:55 Real Lord of the Flies Story19:00 Bullying Attachment and Family21:41 Victorian Fathers Revisited22:40 Reform Politics And Women23:28 Why Study War24:04 Resistance Myth Debunked25:24 Heroes Are Asked27:29 Unconventional Organizers30:25 Kindness After Loss32:19 Kindness Is Contagious35:03 Lessons From Animals36:18 Veneer Theory And Dickens37:59 British IndirectnessYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

What do a hairdryer at Charles de Gaulle Airport, a failed biker gang in Tonga, and your Instagram feed have in common? In this episode, Mark, Liddy, and Daniel explore a creeping cultural trend where the casino logic of prediction markets, betting apps, and algorithmic feeds is invading every corner of life — and reshaping our minds in the process. Mark argues that what's really being enclosed is human attention itself, rewired for addiction and instant gratification at the expense of the slow, reflective engagement that genuine flourishing requires. The church isn't immune — but it might just be uniquely positioned to offer an alternative. What if discipleship looked less like a worldview seminar, and more like learning to see the world as gift rather than object?➡️ For subscriber chats and resources, head to rebuilders.co

Kalm with Kava | Exploring Natural Ways to Calm Anxiety & Manage Stresswith Morgan SmithIn today's fast-paced world, many people are searching for natural, plant-based ways to calm anxiety and manage daily stress. In this episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Morgan Smith, a kava enthusiast, wellness entrepreneur, and CEO of Monsoon Beverages, as well as the operator of Pu‘īwa Hawaiian Farms.Morgan introduces us to kava, a traditional Pacific Island beverage with a long and respected history. For centuries, kava has been grown and consumed throughout islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. Across these cultures, kava has symbolized respect and connection and has been used in social gatherings, spiritual ceremonies, and traditional healing practices.We explore how kava is now gaining attention in Western wellness circles for its calming and anxiolytic properties. Morgan explains that kava's effects come from its active compounds, kavalactones, which are concentrated in the root of the plant. These compounds interact with the brain's limbic system—particularly the amygdala, which plays a key role in emotional regulation. For many people, this interaction creates a sense of both mental and physical relaxation.Morgan describes kava as the opposite of coffee—an “anti-coffee,” if you will. While coffee is often used to energize and stimulate, kava is typically enjoyed in the evening to help the body unwind and the mind slow down. It doesn't produce intoxication like alcohol; instead, Morgan compares it to a strong chamomile tea with noticeable calming effects.Since I haven't personally tried kava, Morgan also walks us through what someone can expect when trying it for the first time. He shares that kava has a naturally bitter taste (definitely not sweet!) and may cause a mild tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth. Traditionally, kava is served in several small portions—often called “shells,” named after the coconut shells originally used to drink it.While kava may not be for everyone, this conversation opens the door to understanding natural herbal options that support relaxation, stress relief, and emotional well-being. It's a thoughtful exploration of ancient wisdom meeting modern wellness.To learn more about kava and Morgan's work, visit Kalm with Kava at https://kalmwithkava.com/✨ If you're curious about natural ways to calm anxiety, reduce stress, and support your nervous system, this episode is a must-listen.Listen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Eric: Ability to connect deeply with his heritage and channel it into meaningful work.Climate change often leaves many wondering how they can make a real difference. Eric Pasi, the CEO of Enterprise Energy, believes he has an answer: invest in sustainable, renewable energy projects. During this episode of Superpowers for Good, Eric shared an exciting way to support the transition to a cleaner future while potentially earning great returns.Eric outlined a bold initiative currently raising $400,000 on the Climatize platform to fund batteries in the Chicagoland area. Batteries are critical for creating a reliable, renewable energy grid by storing solar and wind power for peak demand periods. Eric explained, “We've seen a hockey stick growth in solar and wind deployment... now we need the grid to be more dynamic.” By enabling investments with low minimum contributions, Climatize is making it possible for virtually anyone to participate in funding climate solutions.The project is made possible by Illinois' innovative Clean and Reliable Grid Act. Signed into law in January, it opens new opportunities for distributed battery aggregation, a cutting-edge renewable energy approach. Unlike traditional solar projects requiring large swaths of land, a 5-megawatt battery project, Eric noted, “often needs less than one acre of land.” This efficiency unlocks the potential for swift, scalable development.Enterprise Energy has already demonstrated success with its previous projects. Eric shared, “Last summer, we raised development capital on Climatize for community solar in Illinois... we've closed financially and will be repaying investors early.” The proven track record highlights both the viability of these projects and Eric's commitment to investor trust.Eric's long-standing passion for renewable energy is evident. Since entering the field in 2007, he's developed over 500 megawatts of solar power. This new focus on batteries represents the next step in his efforts to revolutionize energy systems.With Enterprise Energy's transparent approach, promising returns, and tangible environmental impact, this crowdfunding campaign is an inspiring opportunity for investors to align their money with their values. The campaign can be explored online via Climatize and the QR code shared during the episode. This represents an exciting chance to support a resilient, cleaner energy future.tl;dr:Eric Pasi discusses a Climatize crowdfunding campaign raising $400,000 for batteries in the Chicagoland area.Illinois' Clean and Reliable Grid Act enables scalable distributed battery aggregation for renewable energy storage.Enterprise Energy's track record includes early investor repayment for previous community solar projects.Eric attributes his success to his Tongan heritage, inspiring his work in renewable energy development.Investing in Enterprise Energy combines climate solutions with potential financial returns for Climatize investors.How to Develop Creating Purposeful Connection As a SuperpowerEric's superpower is his ability to connect deeply with his heritage and channel it into meaningful work. He explained, “My father was an immigrant from Tonga… the island he came from is mere feet above sea level in most places.” Motivated by the tangible climate risks his family's homeland faces, Eric's passion for the renewable energy sector began with a personal understanding of the stakes. Eric's background, coupled with his drive to create real change, has enabled him to excel both professionally and personally.One of Eric's most inspiring stories involves his journey to COP27, where he marched shoulder-to-shoulder with climate activists from the South Pacific, including Tonga. In a full-circle moment, Eric said, “I met Al Gore on the shore of the Dead Sea... and told him my story.” Through bold actions like these, Eric showcases how he's used his superpower of connection to inspire impactful progress in the climate movement.Eric shared actionable steps for fostering a sense of purpose-driven connection. He emphasized the importance of storytelling, as demonstrated by his own journey: “Knowing your ‘why' can motivate you to push through obstacles.” He also encourages people to embrace learning moments, citing his time with the Climate Reality Project. Lastly, he stressed paying it forward by mentoring others in their energy transitions.By following Eric's example and advice, you can make creating purposeful connection 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 ProfileEric Pasi (he/him):CEO, Enterprise Energy LLCAbout Enterprise Energy LLC: Enterprise Energy is a Minneapolis-based developer of distributed energy projects focused on expanding access to affordable, reliable clean power.
