We have an exciting show lined up, where we will go big picture on how we can cut through information overload, understand the "Great Convergence", identify the "350-year empire cycle" currently playing out, connect the dots between seemingly unrelated global events, identify the "hubris syndrome" in real-time, decode AI-driven influence campaigns that shape public opinion and distract from deeper systemic shifts, understand how to develop "future-ready" decision-making skills, and understand a global currency reset and what it means for your privacy, wealth, and economic future. A BIG topic, but that is the nature of the polycrisis – and it needs to be understood by interlinking all the challenges and interpreting what that bigger story means to all of us. We will of course discuss the latest news that matters, from the LA riots, to the Madleen, why US RFK Jr removing all 17 members of a committee that issues official government recommendations on immunisations matters to all of us, the World Banks latest report, and more. To help us discuss all of this, we are delighted to welcome Michael Haupt as our very special guest, the creator of NEXUS 2030. He is an independent, cross-disciplinary systems researcher and Strategic Foresight Practitioner known for connecting the dots between global finance (like CBDCs and private stable coins), policy shifts (like the Pandemic Agreement, Climate Goals, Mar-a-Lago Accord), and emerging technologies (like AI, sixth generation warfare). Michael has more than four decades of experience analysing complex systems, and he has a passion to help you see the bigger picture, so that you can make sense of accelerating complexity and make better decisions.You can sign up to Michael's NEXUS 2030 course https://2030.michaelhaupt.com/class.

It's time to get The Sh*t Show on the road, with a goal to untangle the polycrisis and make sense of the complexity. We'll look at the polycrisis from all angles, including the vast issues under the umbrella of the planetary crisis, geopolitics and war, technology risks, societal collapse, mis- and disinformation, propaganda, lack of trust in institutions, economic risks, inequality and poverty, equality, all the way through to the global mental health crisis – just as a taster. This show joins forces between The Know Show and Climate Courage, and while we appreciate some think the “swearword” inappropriate, the truth is - we ARE in a sh*t show, and facing up to this time is important. The show will take different elements of both shows, with three core discussion areas, and in our kick off episode, we are going to discuss what's really keeping the sh*t show on the road. Is it business in all its forms, OR is the “forcing” coming from governments and Boomers in OECD countries? Our second topic is AI. Everyone is either excited by it or terrified by it, but the societal implications are becoming clearer – what does it mean to us and how can we prepare? Equally, can earth deliver this promise?Our final topic is the planetary crisis. We'll discuss recent news and research, explain why it's important and what we can do about it. All three areas will have actions we can take, whether as individuals, societies or globally. We're not just going to focus on problems, because if we're not offering solutions, we're not helping. There'll be a lot more to discuss, but this is the core focus for this week. Why not come and have a listen and get involved in the conversation? We'd love to have you.

We started The Know Show in August 2021 and who knew we'd still be going after all this time? But we have kept going, because understanding the complexity of the times we're living through is important, so we can work out how to move forward. With that said, one of us is moving on, and that is Tim Wade, who's embarking on some very important work, and this week, we say goodbye to our colleague and dear friend. We might also have a rebrand to announce. Stay tuned. Of course, we'll discuss the news too and there is a lot to discuss, from TACO Man to global heating predictions for the next five years. That's just the start. We also have Musk out and his rockets exploding, a massive glacier has collapsed in the Swiss Alps, the oceans are getting darker, Hegseth is at it again, and we watch the devastating impact of the war on Gaza, with babies and children dying from famine - even Germany has had enough. When will it end?The cost of the recent floods in Australia is starting to be understood, with hundreds of properties deemed uninhabitable and the event declared an “Insurance Catastrophe,” as many of those impacted are also still recovering from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. King Charles was in Canada, European farmers are calling the alarm on crop failures, the 2025 Hurricane Season is predicted to be above normal, and allies have lifted restrictions on the use of long-range weapons for Ukraine, as further reports detail a million Russians have died so far in the war.  We know, it's intense and there is always a lot to take on board, which is why we are committed to doing this show, to help you make sense of all the noise, and sometimes, just by being together every week helps us make sense of it too.

When we speak to people about the planetary crisis, the most common response is a feeling of powerlessness. Many tell us they don't know what to do or where to start, which often means not doing anything at all, and this just adds to the feeling of powerlessness. This is a growing challenge across the world, as more and more people become aware of the crisis we are in - from Taree in Australia facing catastrophic flooding, to millions suffering unliveable heat in India, Pakistan and Iran, to extreme heat events in Iceland, or across to Brazil where more floods have destroyed crops which will ripple out and have a major impact across the globe. In the face of so many extreme weather events, it's hard not to feel hopeless and powerless. But there is much we can all do, and the middle class claiming our power in this time of geopolitical chaos is probably the best way to help our mental health and the planet. Whatever we feel about the future of our species, it's time we try with all our might to overcome - for our families and all life on earth. However, we must also acknowledge the severity of the challenges we face. We do not have an easy journey ahead, so developing our resilience is critical. This is how we will start the show, with clear actions and questions we should be asking ourselves, and then we will discuss the major news around all aspects of the planetary crisis, including, but not limited to, the latest on the AMOC, the fact 1.5°C of warming is already too hot for the polar ice caps, global oil demand – is it increasing or decreasing?, Planetary Nationalism and why that might not be a great idea, the catastrophic tornados in the US including a lack of FEMA support, food security and more. We always aim to cover a lot and never make it through all the news, but we give it a go, so why not come and join us, Friday 23rd May – 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 6pm AEST – and work out your steps, so you can stop feeling powerless.Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato. On the show, we cover critical topics across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, in everyday language, and we go big picture on the climate crisis, while also drilling down and focusing on the actions we can all take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren.

Are you guffawing a lot at the news these days? The hypocrisy of it all? Whether it's the “gift” of a $400 million luxury plane to Donald Trump (which will cost $1 billion to get off the ground), the idea of white Afrikaners as refugees, or even the Pope's style of Christianity too woke according to MAGA, there's definitely a lot to guffaw at these days. The hypocrisy is quite stunning, so what are we to make of it all? Is it good for the world, or is it the beginning of a new and confusing dark age? Meanwhile, Trump and the CEOs of America's most prominent companies are signing major deals in the Middle East, mainly in defense, aviation, energy, mining and artificial intelligence, sanctions on Syria have been lifted, Netanyahu is out in the cold (or is he) and deep sea mining is going to happen in order to counter China's mineral dominance – a “deep sea gold rush” is on the way – but at what cost to life on earth?Beyond the US and the shenanigans happening on a daily basis, Africa is being hit extremely hard by climate change, children born in 2020 will face 'unprecedented lifetime exposure' to climate extremes, extreme weather events in Australia (only two events) will cost insurers nearly $1 billion so far in 2025, Putin isn't going to Turkey for peace talks, and bombs continue to fall on women and children in Gaza. There's a lot to take on board, so come and join us, Friday 16th May, 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG and 6pm AEST.To help us this week, we have Rebecca Downie joining us.

It was more than a month ago when outback Australia was swamped by floods, experiencing a years' worth of rain in a week, which not only devastated lives and livelihoods, it devastated livestock as well. The floods were bigger than the size of Texas and to this day, locals are still waiting for the water to drain away completely. What were the final numbers of livestock lost? What was the impact and cost? How are local people feeling about this event and the future?We'll get to the bottom of that, as well as other major news on climate from around the world, including new information on the AMOC, some promising news from Antarctica (or is it?), the farmers in the UK have raised the alarm on crops, Tony Blair putting his foot in it, extreme heat events, a significant decline in bird numbers reported in the US and what it means, we'll delve into Overshoot following Nate Hagens definition, the war between India and Pakistan because our world can not afford war, especially at this fragile moment for our world, and so much more.

Just when you thought the world couldn't get any more dangerous, India and Pakistan are rattling sabres, following a terrible massacre in the Kashmir-administered region of India. While we know a response is imminent, the idea of two of the world's nuclear powers heading into confrontation is not a good sign in a world already overwhelmed by war. Will sanity prevail, or will Nationalism in both countries push us further towards a world of violence? Can the world even survive it?On the other side of the world, in Portugal, Spain, as well as part of France and Belgium, we saw the grid go out and it was chaos. There are many interesting aspects to this story, but the most interesting was the “facts” being shared (and believed) before the engineers even had time to understand what actually happened! Mis- and disinformation is now out there and no matter the facts shared, it will continue to be believed. It was also Trump's first 100 days in power and the media around the world is reporting on this, so how did he honour himself? We'll discuss it tomorrow.We'll also talk about Bezos bending down, China not bending down, how aligning with Trump isn't great for your electoral chances, Australia and Singapore's forthcoming elections, the extreme heat events hammering India, Pakistan and the Middle East, and more, so come and join us, Friday 2nd May, 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG and 6pm AEST.To help us this week, we've got two special guests.

This week the world has come together to mourn the death of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, age 88. As speculation mounts about who will replace him, and whether they will be a reformer or traditionalist, we want to reflect on Pope France's contribution to the climate movement and the change he drove around the world, not just across the 1.4 billion Catholics he led, but beyond to other religions and cultures too. Pope Francis was an unapologetic environmental advocate, and he used his papacy to raise awareness about the critical need to curb greenhouse gas emissions. While many believed he shouldn't discuss it, because it was considered ‘political,' the Pope said that climate change was a spiritual issue, and he clearly laid out the consequences of not tackling it in his 2015 “Laudato Si” - the first-ever papal encyclical focused solely on the environment. In it, he discussed climate change, loss of biodiversity to water scarcity, as well as societal breakdown, and how the poorest would suffer the most. A follow-up “Laudato Si” was published in 2023, and in this, Pope Francis called for a broad change in the “irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model.” So, we must ask - did we listen? Because global emissions have kept rising, including record emissions released in 2024. One positive sign of the Pope's contribution is environmental leaders from around the world acknowledging the impact he had in waking the world up to the dangers we face, leaving a legacy firmly entrenched in the climate movement. The Pope was a climate activist. We had two very special guests join us. Clare Westwood, who is a powerhouse in the climate movement, and regional director of the Roman Catholic Episcopal Commission for Creation Justice of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and the Co-Founder and Executive Chair of Laudato Si' Asia – a Coalition for Culture of Care, Resilience and Ecological Justice (LSIA-CAREJ). Dr Lorna Gold is the Executive Director of the Laudato Sì Movement. Lorna's focus is on supporting the team at a time of significant change, amplifying the intersection of faith and environmental stewardship. Since 2015, LSM's team's dedication has cultivated a global network advancing ecological conversion. Dr Gold's tenure as Interim CEO at FaithInvest fortified her resolve to align faith-based investments with environmental and social sustainability, pioneering strategies that resonate with shared values for a healthier planet.We'll be discussing the Pope's legacy and a lot more of the environmental news we think you should be aware of, including the economic and geopolitical situation the world is currently in, so come and join us, 25th April, 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 6pm AEST. Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato.

It's been hard to have a break from the show with so much going on in the news, but our sanity is important, as is spending time with family. That said, we are very happy to be back this week, and of course, we are going to talk about the tariff battle between the US and China, digging into the question – who is going to win? If you're in the US, you might have a different view, but out here in Asia, we see things very differently and we're looking forward to exploring it. No question, the news has been relentless, and we will talk about coping with the onslaught, but to give you a flavour for topics, we have to ask - has the US already gone fully fascist? Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling, attempting to control universities, attacking law firms who don't comply, axing the wire service from the Whitehouse coverage pool, as well suing any media organisations reporting on topics the Trump administration doesn't like, all the way through to pondering whether it's legal to send US citizens to El Salvadorian prisons… to name a few, but it doesn't sound very Democratic, does it? But what does it all mean to us – living beyond the US? The economy is obviously top of mind, as is world peace, but how do we understand this within the context of the even more alarming research from Copernicus' Climate Change Service and James Hansen's latest paper on accelerated warming?

In February, Caroline Lucas and Rupert Read wrote an article in The New Statesman titled: It's time for climate populism. They suggest that as politics turns against net zero, we need to mobilise a genuine mass movement against ecological catastrophe. It's an adaptation message and concludes with: a depolarising wave of action that mobilises communities' instinctive protective instincts could really be… popular. And that is climate popularism.In response, Joseph Gelfer wrote: Climate Populism is Coming, But Not The Way Progressives Think. He argues that progressives may be right that climate populism is coming, but that they fundamentally do not understand the form it is going to take. A primary reason for this is because you can't take your existing agenda and “make it populist.” Climate Populism is Coming, But Not The Way Progressives Think - ZNetworkWe think this is a really important issue, so we're going to discuss the bigger story and opportunity/threat around the idea of climate populism, AND we're going to talk about how to operationalise it, as well as the barriers leaders of the climate movement face if they are serious about taking real-world action, which must prioritize those most at risk within our societies. If we don't carry them, we will not succeed, and extremism will continue to rise. To help us explore this far-reaching topic, we are delighted that Joseph Gelfer said yes to joining us on Climate Courage. Joseph is a British-based sustainability strategist and green jobs advocate. Currently he is thought leadership lead at Kite Insights, which helps businesses and organisations achieve their sustainability, climate and biodiversity goals. Kite Insights focus includes: supporting thought leadership, research, communications and strategy; maximizing presence at major events such as COP, WEF, Climate Week NYC and London Climate Action Week; as well as building capacity via The Climate School and its Sustainability Action Readiness Assessment.

The Know Show – a fork in the road

Climate scientist, Ben Santer, was recently quoted in an article suggesting we are now at a fork in the road and it's time to decide which path we take: “The fork we face is the choice between science and ignorance, between climate stability and climate carnage, between democracy and dictatorship. Between bright hope and dark despair. If we do not choose wisely, we will betray the sacred trust of our children and grandchildren.”This isn't just about the climate, it's about multiple crisis' (the polycrisis), and when we look around the world, or even within our own communities, many prefer to ignore the seriousness of this moment, because acknowledging it is just too hard to bear. And yet this is the road we are on, so how can we mobilize enough people to rise with resolve, strength and courage to make sure we choose the right path, especially as so many remain lost to hopelessness and despair? All we need to do is look at the United States, the world's most powerful democracy – (which, incidentally, could lose its democracy status, according to Varieties of Democracy project) – with its leaders making decisions upending the whole world order, creating chaos and increasing the risk of violence and war. It's certainly not too early to draw the conclusion that we are now firmly going in the unwise direction Ben Santer was talking about. So, it's time to ask - will we rise together and embrace this moment to change our path? Or will we fail? As always, lots to talk about, so join us, Friday 21st March, 7am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG and 6pm AEST.To help us this week, we've got a super special guest, John Dykes. In his former life, John became Asia's best-known sports anchor through his work with ESPN Star Sports and Premier League Productions, where he covered global events, from the Academy Awards to World Cups, and he has worked alongside leaders in showbiz, sport, and industry, learning what it takes to excel at the top. Today he's a host, keynote speaker and corporate coach, helping teams and leaders ace presentations, perfect their pitches and perform at their best. We're looking forward to hearing what he has to say!The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that's getting everyone's attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We'll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today. The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history.

Does the marketing profession have an outsized impact on the environmental crisis? And if so, how can marketing change track to play a greater role in building a sustainable future? That's our focus this week, and we're going to start with the problem with marketing, going back through history to its present day. We'll look at its role, the harm it does, and the challenges we face in turning the marketing ship around.  We will look at marketing's role in behaviour change and consumption habits, greenwashing, and it's even worse cousin, greenhushing, all the way through to the importance of DEI across the profession, but also in the work delivered. Most importantly, we'll talk through the sustainable marketing compass and the pillars of sustainable marketing maturity modelling – which is the solution piece to address the challenges, and a path forward for the industry. To help us uncover this fascinating topic, we are absolutely delighted to welcome two guests: Alexis Eyre and Paul Randle. Alexis and Paul are co-authors of the excellent book, Sustainable Marketing: the industry's role in a sustainable future. Paul is a sustainable marketing professional and a top 100 marketing influencer, and Alexis is also a sustainable marketing expert and a LinkedIn Top Sustainable Marketing Voice. We can't wait to hear what they have to share. Come and join us on Friday, 14th March 2025 – 3pm Singapore time, and 7am UK time, or listen to the recording afterwards.

We've been talking about the failure of imagination in coming to terms with this moment in time geopolitically since the start of the year, so are we imagining enough now? Let's hope so, because things are certainly getting intense, and fear is ricocheting around the world. Definitely not an easy time for any of us. As we've witnessed in recent weeks, it appears the US is now sprinting towards authoritarianism, while abandoning its allies and joining with its enemies. From the Zelensky debacle in the Whitehouse, aligning with Russia and North Korea in a key UN vote against the war in Ukraine, causing emergency meetings across Europe, with President Marcon discussing nuclear deterrence, and another French politician referring to Elon Musk as a “jester high on ketamine,” and Donald Trump as Nero. No question everything is hotting up. Within the US, we heard Trump's State of the Union this week and all the shenanigans surrounding it, along with many other concerning developments within the country, as well as international impacts. This includes international tariffs and all that entails, along with China proclaiming it is ready for “any type of war” with the US, while committing to a 7.2% increase in defence spending. It's a big discussion, covering a wide array of topics, and we'll do our best to focus on what matters most.To help us this week, we are delighted to welcome Michael Chua, a cybersecurity and digital technology consultant who has served banks, big tech and governments in 19 countries across four continents over the last 20 years.

We've had to reschedule our marketing show due to a clash for our guest, so we are going to delve deeper into the economic conversation, this time focusing on the fact that the greatest transfer of wealth in history is about to happen. What, we hear you say? The richest group in human history are the Boomers, and as they start to head over the rainbow bridge, $60-80 trillion of their wealth will be transferred to the next generations – Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z and the new Alphas.This is the great wealth transfer, and where we are today is because of how wealth has been spent up to this point, however, now it is our time to spend it, and this is the place where a massive revolution can take place. It is our chance to separate the world we currently have, with the world we want in the future, and if we get it right, perhaps we can avoid social collapse?The biggest question we must ask ourselves is, how can we use this inherited wealth to keep hydrocarbons in the ground? Well, we can do business that ensures we grow and thrive at natures pace. How do we do that?

Yes it has and it's a whole lot worse than most thought possible. Of course, we're not just talking about the chaos in the US, but everything else too - Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, Gaza, China, Ukraine, Russia, to name a few, along with, of course, challenging the very foundations of Europe – that went down well, didn't it?Are we witnessing the creation of a New World Order in real-time, as many claim? It certainly can't be ruled out, so what does it mean for the rest of us? How will the ripples ‘ripple' out and impact our lives? Can we expect world leaders to respond with strength, or will they be weak? We'll discuss the signs so far. And what about Europe specifically - what can we expect there? Then again, we could be witnessing the collapse of the US Empire (as many predict) an event of such enormous scale, it would turn the world on its head. If that happens, let's just say: no empire has ever ‘died' gently…It's a tense time and everyone is on tenterhooks quite rightly, and that's why we are absolutely delighted to welcome the amazing Jessica Figueras to join us this week. Based in the UK - which means she's bringing a perspective from the UK/EU - Jess is Chair of Trustees for the UK Cyber Security Council and Co-Founder of CxB, which focuses on Cyber Governance for Boards. She's been named one of Computer Weekly's Most Influential Women in UK Tech (2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021), and is a Security Unsung Heroes Awards winner (2024) too. Essentially, Jess works at the intersection of technology, government and civil society in the fields of cyber security and trust, online safety, risk, regulation, and social impact. She also has a very keen mind for politics, so we can't wait to hear what she has to say. The Livestream kicks off at 3pm Singapore time/7am UK time, Friday 21st February 2025. Come and join us, this is going to be a great conversation! The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that's getting everyone's attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We'll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today. The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history.

Climate Courage: is Trump irrelevant?

Climate Courage is back for 2025 and it's just the three of us this week, as we have a lot to catch up on since our last show. To get off to a hot start, we'll discuss Donald Trump and team, asking the very simple question: is Trump even relevant in the fight for our future? We'll aim to pull apart the potential impact the next four years could have on global climate action, and we'll dig into the numbers too. Considering the state of our planet and the threats made so far – especially based on actions and executive orders over the last three weeks – how can the world counter it? Should we just accept that Trump and the GOP is irrelevant? And what about China's role in the mix? News on the planetary crisis seems to go from bad to worse, with January 2025 1.75°C above pre-industrial levels when it was expected to get cooler, a reality that has been called ‘terrifying' by climate scientists after defying expectations. Then James Hansen and team released their report Global Warming Has Accelerated, with 2°C warming now dead too, causing a flurry of conversations and arguments in the climate science community. As the years go on, and already in 2025, we are seeing significant environmental disasters, with extreme weather acceleration predicted. Should we finally grasp it's time to view all these wildfires and storms as the planet warning us with practice runs? And we better get ready for more, because in the Arctic this month we saw temperatures 20°C above average for this time of year, while news out of Antarctica continues to show dramatic changes, but it's not just happening to the planets extremities, glacial losses in the third pole are accelerating too. We are seeing extreme permafrost melt across the Northern latitudes, which could release massive amounts of methane very quickly, and the West Coast of Australia has exceeded 50°C in the last week, while the East is under water, to name a few. Come and join us for some Valentine's Day love of the planet, Friday, 14th February 2025 – 3pm Singapore time, and 7am UK time, or listen to the recording afterwards. We livestream to multiple locations, so follow us on social media. Climate Courage is a livestream, held every two weeks and is co-hosted by Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato. On the show, we cover critical topics across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, in everyday language, and we go big picture on the climate crisis, while also drilling down and focusing on the actions we can all take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren. We owe them that!#ClimateCourage #RethinkingChoices #UncommonCourage To get in touch with me, all of my contact details are here https://linktr.ee/andreatedwards My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar

This Sunday's sermon is entitled "Uncommon Courage." If there is any chapter that indicates a radical shift in the lives of Jesus' disciples, it's Acts 4. Luke writes in Acts 4:13, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.” The religious leaders were astonished at the change in Peter and John! They had gone from fearful cowards to openly courageous evangelists.  This Sunday, we will looked at how the Holy Spirit transforms God's people so that we can't help but share the greatest part of our lives – Jesus, crucified, risen, and reigning! Let's pray for Holy Spirit birthed boldness for each of us as we seek to be God's witnesses to a world in need of Jesus!    Pastor Kevin Dibbley We would love to invite you to join us on Sundays at 9 & 11.
