The Future Is Beautiful with Amisha Ghadiali

How do we grow steady legs of resilience in uncertain times? In this episode Amisha talks with Ronan Harrington, a resilience expert and accomplished voice on the transformative power of adversity. He advises organisations and institutions on how to move from Burnout to Resilience and counts Deloitte, KPMG, Sky, the UK Government and Oxford University amongst his clients. He has held a variety of roles bridging personal and societal transformation as lead futurist to the British Foreign Office, co-coordinator for the political strategy for Extinction Rebellion and founder of Alter Ego, a European network of political leaders and activists growing connection between spirituality and politics. Ronan speaks about his strive to transform the political frameworks of our time by introducing spirituality and mysticism into its mainstream to forge deep cultural change. He believes that political acts can be acts of grace and his work with Alter Ego, was a space to decondition and nourish political leaders and activists into integrity. Amisha and Ronan share their personal histories of burnout and chronic health conditions, and how it has affected the way they move in the world. They recognise that attempting cultural transformation requires us to have a well-resourced support structure; financially, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Ronan talks about his work as a resilience leader finding ways to equip us with soft foundations and strong cores that can move with the tremors of our time. We learn that our times call for us to increase our forms of resilience in ways that enable us to embrace dualities, and to hold ultimate grief and ultimate possibility at the same time; muscles we need to grow to be able to fly closer to the sun.

We ask an economics professor at a French business school why European banks are less likely to fail. We spoke to him before Credit Suisse’s shares collapsed after a major shareholder said it would not continue to invest.

Meanwhile, there's a lot on the censorship front as we take on the list of media that the UK Government's "anti-extremism unit" thinks could turn you into a far right terrorist, the appalling rewrite of Roald Dahl's children's books by Puffin, and the weaponisation of ‘disinformation' by the Global Disinformation Index to try to demonetise right-of-centre news publishing sites. We also note the protest against 15-minute cities in Oxford.

The most recent model, UK TIMES, was used by the UK Government to develop scenarios for both the Clean Growth Strategy and the Net Zero Strategy. These models straddle the boundaries between economics, engineering and the natural environment. In this lecture, we will dissect the UK TIMES model to explore how it works, its strengths and weaknesses, and how it can be used (and misused) by policymakers and researchers.

Bouie walks through the work of Joe Soss and Vesla Weaver that paints police as the most direct relationship that marginalized communities have with the state, understanding that their treatment at the hands of police creates a pessimistic view of the state and encourages a removal from the political system entirely. Capping off that conversation, Jamelle, Emma, and Sam walk through marginalized communities' relationship to crime, understanding their fellow citizens as overpoliced in daily life while under-policed in terms of the actual risks to the community via violent crime, all serving to paint their social role, as understood by the state, as one of developing criminality rather than active citizenship. Next, Jamelle Bouie parses through the nascent stages of the GOP presidential race, why DeSantis and much of the rest of the Right relies on culture war discourse over policy, why the media struggles to handle GOP lies after decades of embracing them, Donald Trump's role as an outside candidate even in 2024, and the constitutional nature of debt ceiling debates. They also talk with Hamza Syed about his work uncovering the Islamophobic response of the UK Government to obviously false papers covering an Islamic coup of Birmingham's education system, and the UK Policy Exchange's and much of the media's attempt to paint his journalism as an extension of this Islamist project of extremism. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Kevin McCarthy try to defend the removal of Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee as “precedent” following the removal of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar for threats against other sitting congresspeople. They also dive into the recent House vote to denounce socialism and what that means for the future of socialist policies like M4A, with 109 Democrats joining the Right on the vote, Ben Shapiro talks girl pants and why they can never be paired with boy legs, and Donald Trump rags on Ron DeSantis' whimpering for help ahead of his 2018 race, plus, your calls and IMs!

When it comes to marketing, the world isn't craving more cutthroat strategies, spammy ads, heavily branded content or TikTok dances. People are yearning for a sense of belonging and community - a safe space for them to be true to themselves.   From a brand marketing perspective, there's a rock solid business case to put community front and center of what we do. The more entrepreneurs build movement and collective-based businesses, the better off the whole world's going to be.   Why is community such a key part of marketing businesses today? How do we build our businesses on ideas that are worth rallying behind?   In this episode, marketing futurist, keynote speaker, mentor, educator and author of the new book “Belonging to the Brand”, Mark Schaefer returns to talk about the book, and why community matters so much in the businesses we build and run.   We have a bunch of people that feel alone and are yearning for business owners to create a safe space. They want to buy your stuff because they love the world you're creating. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode Why communities failWhat's the difference between a community and audience? Why a TikTok approach to marketing doesn't work for everybodyDo people feel out of integrity because they are being taught to approach marketing as entertainers instead of educators? How to provide validation through marketingEveryone is surrounded by people who make them feel bad about how they think the world should work. How can we give them permission to feel good about themselves?    Guest Bio   Mark Schaefer is one of the world's leading marketing futurists, keynote speakers, educators and business consultants.

In today's episode of Intelligence Squared, we hear from our podcast dedicated to exploring the possibilities of what lies ahead: The Futureverse.  What if the solution to solving extreme poverty was as simple as giving cash to those who need it?  GiveDirectly, the fastest growing NGO founded this century, does just that. By allowing donors to send money directly to the world's poorest, it has revolutionised the aid sector. In the last decade, GiveDirectly has delivered $580M+ to over 1.37 million people across eleven countries. Cash in hand, no strings attached.  In this episode, Kamal Ahmed is joined by the President of GiveDirectly Rory Stewart to discuss GiveDirectly's work, the profound implications of direct cash transfers and why we all have a duty to do what we can to uplift the global poor. Rory's career, which has taken him from Iraq, where he was Deputy-Governor of two provinces following the invasion in 2003, to the UK Government, where he served as Secretary of State for International Development, has shaped his approach to his own legacy, and what it means to be a good ancestor. Kamal and Rory discuss this and more in this wide-ranging interview with one of the most knowledgeable and compelling voices on international development and the charity sector.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Wales has the highest imprisonment rate in Western Europe for men and the third highest for women but until recently we simply didn't know about it. Unlike Northern Ireland and Scotland, Wales doesn't have control over its own justice and policing system and instead it is part of the 'England and Wales' system. Many would argue that this is de facto an 'England, including Wales' system as Wales is a relatively small part of the system and largely an afterthought and until very recently there simply wasn't any Wales-specific data published by the UK Government. Thanks to years of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and other new research Dr Rob Jones and Prof. Richard Wyn Jones have been able to produce a groundbreaking book exploring the state of the Welsh criminal justice system and the problems caused by trying to maintain a Westminster-centric system in the age of devolution. In this recording, Richard and Rob discuss the challenges facing these core public services as they try to serve two different masters of two very different political persuasions in London and Cardiff.

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the UK Government are launching a new project to enhance international expertise in the registration of space objects. The multi-year project strengthens an already solid foundation of joint efforts between the partners covering topics such as space sustainability and climate action. The United Nations Register of Objects Launched into Outer Space is a treaty-based mechanism which promotes transparency in outer space activities. Since the beginning of the space age, more than 14,000 satellites have been launched, and 85 percent of them have been registered with the UN. UNOOSA has received over 2,000 satellite registrations in 2022 alone and potentially 100,000 satellites could be launched over the next decade. ------------ NASA has selected Rocket Lab to provide the launch service for the agency's TROPICS mission. TROPICS is the Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats. It is part of the NASA's Venture-class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare ... or VADR ... launch services contract. Rocket Lab is one of 13 companies NASA selected for VADR contracts in 2022, which are managed by NASA's Launch Services Program based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As part of VADR, the fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts have a five-year ordering period with a maximum total value of $300 million across all contracts. The TROPICS mission consists of four CubeSats intended for two low-Earth orbital planes and is part of NASA's Earth System Science Pathfinder Program. Rocket Lab will launch the TROPICS satellites into their operational orbits during a 60-day period no earlier than May 1 of next year, enabling NASA to provide observations during the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. ---------------- According to Frost & Sullivan‘s recent report, Global Satellite Propulsion Solutions Market, commercial and private end-user satellite constellations generate a steady demand for propulsion systems because they provide communications and satellite imaging. The global market is expected to reach $216.32 billion by 2031, up from $93.33 billion in 2021, representing a compound annual growth rate of 8.7 percent. ---------------- Retired US Air Force Colonel Lee Rosen is the newest member of the founding team of ThinkOrbital, a start-up scalable space infrastructure company.
