Larry Cassidy's sheer consistency as a professional jockey has brought him a strong fan base over almost four decades in the saddle. It's now more than four months since Larry rode in a race, and the fans are getting restless.The ace jockey joins us on the podcast to talk about the litany of health issues and injuries he's battled in recent years. He begins by talking about the track fall that left him with a badly broken finger last November. The complications have been endless. Larry takes us back to April of 2023 when he felt a twinge in his back during the running of a race. He battled on for a while but eventually the pain from a bulging disc made surgery inevitable. He was back at the races much sooner than expected. He'd had only twelve rides back when a trackwork accident sent him out again. This time Doctors performed an epidural and ordered another long rest. Larry says he thought he'd used up all of his bad luck when he finally resumed last November. Lady Luck wasn't done with him yet. The jockey was in reminiscent mood as he talked about early life in Wellington NZ. He looks back on the talents of brother Ricky who made a big name for himself as a jumps jockey. Larry talks of his first apprenticeship at Palmerston North and remembers his first ever race ride. Like most jockeys his first win remains etched in his memory. He talks of a transfer to former jockey Bruce Marsh at Woodville. Here his career took off. Larry fondly remembers a trip to Australia with Marsh who campaigned a small team of horses in Brisbane. This is where he rode his first Aussie winner. He recalls being involved in a five horse fall at Randwick during the same trip. The respected jockey looks back on a flying start when he finally settled in Sydney. Brother Jim recommended him for a prized ride. Larry pays tribute to Jim Cassidy. His comments will surprise you. With the Championships upon us it was a good time to talk about Larry's big Easter double in 1997- the Doncaster on Secret Savings and the Sydney Cup on Linesman, He speaks fondly of Linesman and recalls the gelding's huge run in the 1997 Melbourne Cup when battling a foot issue. Larry looks back on many rides in the Melbourne Cup without a win. A third and a fourth were his best results. The jockey clearly remembers a Victoria Derby win on Arena for the Inghams. Larry acknowledges a number of outstanding gallopers he got to ride during his years in Sydney. Obviously he spends extra time on Sunline. He looks back on Darren Beadman's shock retirement in 1997 and his promotion to the number one role at Crown Lodge. He says he was never officially appointed. It just happened. Larry talks of his three jockey's premierships and his relationship with John Hawkes. Cassidy remembers a new association with Gai Waterhouse after the parting of the ways with Crown Lodge. He explains his reasons for electing to make the move to Brisbane in 2009. He talks of a Queensland Derby win not long after relocating. His recollections of his one and only ride on Winx make for good listening. He couldn't believe what he'd just experienced. Larry talks of a nightmare eighteen months with meniscal tearing in both knees. He eventually took his rehabilitation into his own hands. He pays tribute to wife Michelle and children Luke and Jade. Luke is on his way as a Doctor Of Medicine while Jade has aspirations in the arts, but is currently working for the wonderful organisation Guide Dogs Queensland. Larry is taking a realistic view of the future. He'd love to ride again, but hasn't dismissed the possibility of an enforced retirement. It's a laid back chat with an outstanding jockey who's made a million friends along the way.

After last year's Astro-Gnostic conference and some extended jungle experience, I want to revisit some comparisons between 'gnosticism' and 'animism' -whatever they happen to be. And in particular I want to make the case for how the assertion that the cosmos is a prison built by an evil God and the cosmos is a community of beings can share co-presence in the same overall framework. So this is a gathering of thoughts in that general direction. Show Notes There is a Higher Soup meetup in Wellington NZ on Saturday Feb 11th. It's open to all but please RSVP so we have an idea of numbers. And once again for no reason other than it's a good way for me to organise my talking points so I don't forget them, I used Tome again. If you want to try it out, here's the invite link.

It's the time of year for us to put our big girl pants on and watch a horror film - although in this case the scariest thing in the film is a VERY dirty sink. Polymath Taika Waititi's 2014 mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows spawned an Emmy-bothering series but we're going back to the beginning and she-watching the film featuring the four OG vampires from Wellington NZ. Don't worry, there's no need to be scared (unless you're afraid of housework, or the terrifying prospect of never again being able to eat chips).
Wellingtonians may notice a few streets in the centre city look a little bit different this week. The city is acting as a stand-in for 1920s New York for the filming of an upcoming Taika Waititi TV show. Time Bandits is a remake of a 1981 movie and follows the time-travelling adventures of an 11-year-old who discovers a portal is his bedroom. Wellington NZ chief executive John Allen spoke to Corin Dann.

Wellington businesses have packed a punch in a pre-election report that calls for amalgamation and the capital's own version of Auckland Transport, while also questioning the role of the city's economic development agency. The Herald can exclusively reveal the details of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce's pre-election report ahead of this year's local body elections. Businesses painted a grim picture of the current state of affairs and said the city's leadership has been inward-looking and complacent for too long. "Wellington businesses feel overshadowed by Central Government and that the city is now synonymous with bureaucracy and politics, rather than business and innovation, forgetting the very essence of the heart of the city." The issue of amalgamation has recently started bubbling away in Wellington after the idea was axed in 2015. The report recommended Wellington, Porirua, and Hutt Councils should transition to become one over time, which it said was a conversation already happening "behind the scenes". Wellington Chamber of Commerce chief executive Simon Arcus told the Herald the Auckland Council experiment was now seen as largely successful. He said businesses considered amalgamation as a solution to some of the more wicked problems like transport, housing, and sustainability. "The boundaries of Wellington City alone seem very artificial to try and solve those problems. You've got to have a bigger, regional solution to some of the big issues that the city is facing." For that reason, the report also said the regional and city councils should relinquish their transport responsibilities to create a new entity like Auckland Transport. Wellington Chamber of Commerce chief executive Simon Arcus. Photo / Supplied It recommended this entity should focus on reliability so people know they will get to work on time if they catch the bus. "Let's Get Wellington Moving, a source of enduring concern for business, is only one part of a tangled dysfunctional strategy that will benefit from the accountability of a single body," the report said. Accountability was a key theme throughout the report. Businesses said they often didn't know what their rates were spent on and how they directly benefited. They called for quarterly reporting from the council on this issue, as well as an annual independent "State of Business" report, and a dedicated go-between role funded directly out of commercial rates. Arcus said there was a lack of trust between the council and business. "We definitely don't want to dwell on the past which has been complicated by the make-up of council, we really want to try to work constructively to re-engage." The report took a swipe at Wellington NZ, the regional economic development agency, and said the council should clarify the organisation's "complex and cumbersome" mandate. It said the council should introduce KPIs based on economic growth and business success for WellingtonNZ. The report had three recommendations for the council's first 100 days. It said key infrastructure investment should be prioritised and restraint shown towards new projects until existing challenges were dealt with. The council should also work with businesses in this initial period to create a precinctplan for the city linking the stadium, Lambton Quay, waterfront, and Courtenay Place, it said. Finally, the report said a plan should be drawn up to prioritise and incentivise rapid CBD densification. Other recommendations included urgently addressing homelessness and antisocial behaviour, providing incentives to develop derelict sites, and positioning Wellington asthe national home of Māori and Pasifika business success and cultural celebration. Arcus said central Wellington needed to be safe, densified, and attractive for the capital to be a "magnet for talent" and seen as a destination. - Georgina Campbell, NZ HeraldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's up to my militant manatees and freedom lovin' frisk kittens!! Welcome to the BNP and thank you for joining! To my patrons: y'all are the spice mélange in the desert dust of Arrakis, thank you for the support! You may be wondering what happened to my episode this week and why I am posting this on Sunday morning. After initially posting on Tuesday, I removed the post on Wednesday after my guest whom I had interviewed demanded the episode be removed. At the end of her scolding missive, she implored me to interrogate my own beliefs about vakseen mandates. I took her admonition to heart and have been interrogating my beliefs as to where I stand. After much consideration, prayer, research and meditation, I can say with clarity and conviction:I stand with the Indigenous Bolivian workers and trade unionists of La Paz and El Alto, some of whom are marching with medicinal plants, and uttering prayers for therapeutic sovereignty and choice. I stand with the healthcare workers of the majority Black French neo-colonies of Martinique and Guadeloupe, whose allies in the working class have occupied the legislature and brought the islands to a halt with their ferocious opposition to vakseen mandates. Many on the island compare the mandate rules with France's slavery era, and insist on their own autonomy in making healthcare choices for themselves. I stand with the workers of Berlin, of Melbourne, of Wellington NZ, of Vienna, of Paris, of Brussels, of Madrid, of Lisbon, of Verona, Italy, of Athens, of Tehran, of Beirut, of Sofia, Bulgaria, of Prague, of London, of Bucharest, Romania, of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, of Cyprus, of Lima, of Buenos Aires, of Quito, of Manaus, of Chicago, and of New York City.And yes, I stand with the Canadian truckers who have organized and gathered in Ottawa to protest mandates. I hasten to add that many of these Canadian truckers are Sikhs, women, and people of color. I stand with the workers of the world in opposing medical intervention mandates. Workers who feel deprived of their dignity are primed to struggle against Capital, and when they are smeared, belittled and judged by those who identify as leftists, these workers are then pushed directly into the waiting arms of the right. We are witnessing a massively swelling uprising against the totalitarianism of the medical cartel, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Wall St., the Military Industrial Complex, and the industry lobbyists posing as our representatives on Capital Hill. Join the fight or get out of the way.Stay tuned to the end because I am reposting the skits and segments of the original episode, just without the interview. I also feature two segments about Tenochtitlan and the culture of ancient Mesoamerica and the Aztec people.

Lee is an fast emerging prophetic voice of hope in the nation of New Zealand, after one conversation with him I know we are gonna be good friends. Oldest of 7, he was born and bred in Porirua, Wellington NZ. Attended Samoan Sunday school as a kid but I really didn't like it at all but was forced to go. Tough times as a teen for his family sent him down a difficult path of depression and a suicide attempt. He was saved at 20yrs old after a bright light outer body experience - Instant transformation, not progressive… he ran with the gospel straight away and hasn't turned back. A negative experience with institutional church which sent him on a journey about Gods love for the outcast. Has always had a hunger for the things of the spirit because that's what changed him. Married with 2 kids, one on the way. Children put his life into greater perspective. Has a burning desire to reveal a God who is fully good and one we can always hope and trust in.

The Great Product Owner: Consistently creating positive conversations with stakeholders and Agile teams A great Product Owner is consistent in their approach. Lucia shares with us how this particular PO was able to be consistent in their communication and support for the team, but also in looking outside, getting ideas and inspiration from competitors and the market at large. As the PO consistently communicated with the team and stakeholders, they were creating regular and productive invitations for a conversation with stakeholders and team members. The Bad Product Owner: How to help your PO shine even when they are super-busy! When the Product Owner is overloaded, they lose focus, and are unable to serve the teams at the right time, and in the right amount. In this segment, we hear the story of the PO that was so busy that they could only be a scatter-shot PO. Randomly giving ideas and demands to the team, who was lost with the lack of support from the PO. In this segment, we talk about how important it is to help the PO focus, and work within the limited time they might have to help the team. As Scrum Master, this is one of our major tasks: help the PO shine, even when they are super busy! Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner? We've put together a course to help you work on the collaboration team-product owner.

When it comes to assessing her own success as a Scrum Master, Lucia uses the “health” metaphor to identify and measure critical aspects of a healthy team. In this episode, we talk about The Squad Health Check. The Squad Health Check was also described in these episodes. We also mention Radical Candor, as a feedback framework as well as Clean Language. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Lean Coffee, the swiss army knife of Agile Retrospectives Lucia likes to try many formats, but there's one format she often comes back to thanks to its power to spark creative, and insightful conversations. That format is the Lean Coffee Retrospective format, which focuses the team's conversations instead of trying to cover too many things in a retrospective.

Lucia started her career on the project management path, and she had success with it. However, unlike many project managers that find Scrum by chance, Lucia was on a deliberate quest to find a better way of delivering software projects. It was not by chance that she, after searching for a while, found Scrum, and the Scrum Master role. This newfound career took her into a new company that was starting a new project, with a Product Owner that did not have time for the team. In this episode, we explore how Scrum Masters can develop their relationship with the PO, to be able to help the team. In this episode, we also refer to the Coach Your PO course, a course by the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast to help Scrum Masters develop their PO skills, and be able to help the PO's they work with. We also refer to the Product Owner Sprint Checklist, a tool we developed to help you have that important conversation about the PO's availability to the team, because when they are not available, we know, the team suffers!

Alex is a humble man of a few words but is inspired by having the freedom to express himself through art. Alex has showcased his artworks in group exhibitions in Wellington, Sydney and Brisbane but he had his first solo Exhibition in Nov 2019 the theme was titled INSPIRE. Drawing inspiration from amazing people Alex admires ie Tana Umaga, Jonah Lomu and Martin Luther King, it enabled him to believe he could make his childhood dreams come true which was to fill a gallery with his own artworks. There were 16 masterpieces of artwork on display sold via Silent Auction. Alex was blessed to meet Dave Parker when Dave initiated the request to film & document Alex's art journey as he's keen to capture an Artist's story. Alex being a shy guy, therefore it took a while and loads of convincing for Alex's wife Fayth but he finally said yes to the documentary. Today, Alex works on commissioned artworks and is starting to paint and rebuild his artworks for future exhibitions.

Join us on a spiritual, empathic and emotive conversation with Michael Sutherland, from Sutherland Sounds, as we journey into understanding how practicing the foundation learnt at university has enabled Michael to invite chaos into his music production. We talk about studio etiquette and building/holding the space for musicians to work their magic. He has worked alongside some of New Zealand’s top music producers, helped re-record one of Aotearoa's earliest recording stars ‘Pixie William’ and spills tea with some BTS details on Shapeshifter’s latest album ‘Rituals’. On top of all this Michael’s major project has redefined and helped facilitate and enhance the sensory deprivation experience of Float Tanks globally – while giving back 1/3 of his royalties to conservation efforts annually. Michael is a musician/producer based in Wellington NZ. He studied at MAINZ and recently graduated the Bachelor of Commercial Music at Massey University. Michael produces and records some of Wellington's local talent/bands and assists on commercial projects with some of the industry's best. Michael is also the creator of "Music for Float Tanks" and electric guitarist for ‘Khailana’. His individual brand is anchored by ensuring the recording process is an enjoyable and wholesome experience for all involved and integrates the idea that music can pursue a much greater social, spiritual, and political purpose outside of Western/Commercial frameworks.

Ajahn Kusalo from Bodhinyanarama Monastery, Wellington, NZ, is joining our live podcast.www.bodhinyanarama.net.nzWe talk about investigating and observing how our mind creates a sense of identity, assumes a self, and how suffering results from that. Especially in times of sickness, awareness of these processes can help us to reduce our anxiety. We also touch on Ajahn's recent journey to Sri Lanka, where he visited the famous Gal Vihara with the monumental reclining Buddha statue in Mahāprinibbāna posture. We discuss how painful feeling can appear like a bottomless pit, and how through letting go of attachment and aversion to pain one can rise out of the pit. Ajahn recites a traditional Pali blessing for us at the end to say good bye.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.vimeo.com/dhammatalkswww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.castbox.fm/ch/2744970

Mindset: FINE TUNE DOCUMENT PERFORMANCE On this episode, we look at the SLAPP test. Key tactics we can use to improve the productivity of the contract document. We'll cover: • Academic studies showing the effectiveness of visual contract elements • The picture superiority effect • Why easy to read is easy to like • Contract formatting tips The SLAPP test: http://bit.ly/CLL_SLAPP > Step 1 (Structure)- Is your contract structured like a Reverse Sandwich so it’s useful & usable? Step 2 (Likeable)- Does your contract look good? Step 3 (Automated)- Is your contract ready for low-code automation? Step 4 (Plain language )- How easy is your contract to read & understand? Step 5 (Pictures)- Do you use pictures, flowcharts, graphics, icons, tables & other visuals to break up text? > ‘But I am simple in my communications!’ I hear you say. Well, there is an easy way to check. Go to your Sent email folder. Find the last email you sent which had more than 3 sentences. Click https://www.webpagefx.com/tools/readable/ & paste that text in. See what score you get… try re-writing & simplifying if over grade 9. > Formatting skills: https://www.howtogeek.com/school/microsoft-word-document-formatting-essentials/lesson5/all/ Check the costs of poor writing using the ReWrite for Change calculators (http://rewriteforchange.com/calculators-2/).

Music: 'Sway this way' by @SilentPartner
On 6 April 2018, I spoke in Wellington, New Zealand on the topic of “How the Randomistas Can Help Fight Inequality”. The full text of the speech is available here.
Recorded live in Wellington NZ, London Elektricity is joined by Nu:Tone for a special ‘on tour’ edition of the Hospital Podcast.
In the final episode of the ocean loving series, we concentrate on the charismatic megafauna - Whales, Sharks, and Dolphins. We speak to Brit Finucci, PhD candidate in Wellington NZ, Dr. Christine Dudgeon of the University of Queensland, and Dr. Sarah Mesnick of NOAA
The new paradigm that we are designing, languaging and shaping is one of collaboration – working in greater unison with group dynamics, bringing community initiatives into being by drawing on innovation, inspiration and goodwill. We have been expectant of what is to come next in the unfoldment of a new way of life – a new way of being – one that is a total upgrade from the top down pyramid model that has been - patriarchal, extractive and exploitive that has ended up denaturing and dehumanising our world. This model is now falling away. Unique Geographical Area Laurence & Zahra are domiciled in the Northern South Island in the area covering Nelson, Motueka, Takaka & Golden Bay. This whole area is a wellspring of change agents devoted to pioneering ways that people can live, be, do, work and thrive in communities and other ways of life. From the renown Riverside community the very well known conscientious objector movement of the 2nd World War – now going for over 70 years - who were prepared to stand up for their principles and go to prison - To the Tui and Rainbow communities both been existing for around 30 years and a number of others spread around the area too. There are many different initiatives happening in many different areas. In education in Golden Bay there is more self-directed learning and other initiatives asking children what they wish to engage in, what they want their schools to look like now and in the future – plus many school Principle’s are engaged in looking at a new vision of education that is very much aligned with the NZ Government’s 2025 educational vision of more community input that incorporates holistic systems. Plus ‘I Design’ studio – teaching children from grass roots how to use electronics - designing – coding - creating IP - yet have a preference to ‘open source systems’ for free – and ‘make a space’ initiated by a retired engineer to create interest within the localised rural community. Which typifies the releasing of the potential of new technologies of decentralising and re-localising non colonising … This includes production manufacturing and invention based on how do people re-think, redesign, remake reinvent the world - and you are not going to put a cap on it. Local Currencies In Takaka, the Hands system of Greendollars/timebank- is coming up to its 30th anniversary – with 10% of the regional population as members. “How about a non-dollar system”. It’s a LETS system a local currency system, paper vouchers and an electronic platforms. In NZ - Living Economies. That hundreds of lets system globally use Community Exchange System out of South Africa. ‘Localising Food Project’ - From the Tui community creating documentaries and educating people to show the issues as why it is important to return to locally produced foods; The loss of seed varieties especially seed that has specifically adapted to each bio region so that they can grow and are resilient to bugs etc so no use of pesticide etc – plus teaching about free food forests – throughout NZ. So what is happening in the top of the South Island is a reflection of wider movement somewhat as an incubator of new ideas as well as community engagement with these inventions and ideals. Groups of people holding very high ideals and yet being pragmatic in their practice of them. Practical Community Building Laurence and Zahra want to know how to make practical these revolutionary, visionary - ideals and integrate them into people’s lives. Do a web search and youtube search on localising food projects – there is a whole archive for film footage of best practices – to save heritage seeds, to create food forests and food gardens in schools.- Especially Robin McCurdy one of NZ’s much loved permaculture pioneers. Raw milk dispensing by farmers at the farm gate - called Village Milk via a chilled dispenser as well as a glass bottle dispenser that you can buy – it’s practically organic milk – it just has no certification – but its organic by practice – this is being franchised out across the country though government regulators endeavour to get in the way due to health concerns – however it is a revolution in the making. Especially, assisting with a healthy gut etc. and also the products of eating from fresh milk. This is big and it will only grow when people realise that the milk they are drinking may be from - powder. Those white plastic supermarket bottles with a dark interior – which do not state anywhere on the plastic bottle that the milk has been pasteurised or homogenised – check it out - very strange. Meanwhile NZ continues to slumber ☺ Joel Salatin in the US is mentioned as a keen raw milk farmer and the challenges he has to be able to sell from the farm gate. Joel Salatin's "I drink raw milk (sold illegally on the underground market)". Pupu Springs a Natural Event A Taonga among Maori with some of the purest water on our planet – deeply sacred place there are many springs over this whole Golden Bay, Takaka, Motueka Nelson area and Laurence poetically describes this in that the people of this whole region who are drinkers of such blessed water are themselves ‘wellsprings’ of goodwill, creativity and community as like the Pupu springs - expressing pure powerful goodness that gushing to the surface spreads its transparent latency among the populace that is springing forth this possibility of conscious change and transformation. What is going right for us in the world today Zahra & Laurence talk about the good things going right for us in the world today … and this is what the community game is all inclusive of. They both created and designed it as inherently we have the solutions within us as well as the many solutions already been worked on and worked out right around our planet – (Best Listen to this to fully realise the potential of what this game presents). And a ‘Maker World for Schools’ – Instead of saying in 40 year time the oceans will have no fish and then move on to page 47 and focus on some other subject – what is being said now – is ‘what can we do about it?’ and have a discussion and do projects around finding innovative ways to look what can be done to bring about the much needed change to save our fishing grounds? And make this an important, empowering learning. Because all the maths, the language the sciences can still be learned by applying them to the subject being studied and looked at – the subject being totally inclusive of other learning modalities. Children learn better on experiential project based learning - especially projects that matter to them – that inspire them – engages them fully so they learn by embedding topical and deeply focused information that always works towards the best possible outcome. If the schools focus on right lively hoods – why not focus on enterprise education – today and the social implications of working together? If the science is correct – that the trajectory is so dire then why waste children’s education on intellectual subject matter totally unrelated to survival – when the prognosis of our common future is so heavily weighted against life as we know it today. Revolutionize Education! This is where Zahra and Laurence want to see schools transformed – and with Mainstream education realising that 1/3 or teaching jobs will be redundant in 10 years time due to automation and robotics – this is a perfect time for education and learning curriculums to totally up their game - be reinvented and become holistic community wide – lifelong learning and equip children with the many 21st century learning methods and subject matter to focus on their basic growth as a human being living on a planet. This translates to an empowered inner resourced and savvy younger generation equipped to face the future head on. Which maker world for schools inspires them into the new collaborative culture. Self Funding Community Projects The next step is how do you self fund yourself. – Listen to the interview. Other Subjects Covered Technology breaking out. - disruptive technologies Self driving trucks – soon they will be everywhere as they have only a simple A to B journey – many drivers will be out of a job. Millions of jobs worldwide will see jobs cease to exist. All rote or repetitive jobs within a decade will be going within a decade – by robots or a computer program – UBER - you know about the taxi revolution – they state that in 4 years self driven cars will be here and by 2025 fast decking numbers of petrol cars will be on the road. Community to come together when so many jobs start disappearing. Could there be a student revolution start soon that is totally global and could kids shun school until the adult population can deliver a plan for a viable, sustainable future solution orientation that factors the requirements for all? Decentralisation to Empower People Are Governments obsolete – but just have not woken up to it? Scary as the situation is – the only option is to reinvent how we can live – together etc transformation now is our only option Thus Zahra & Laurence see the urgent need for a training program with all the new project management tools that are now available – because we NOW have the tools to go forward to shape the new paradigm. And they both state that they have most of the keys so that you can virtually take them out of a box and put them to work. We are on the cusp of creativity that we have never seen before – 3 d printing of objects, machines, houses, gadgets etc - clothes will be dialled up or downloaded from a computer to a sewing machine device and the technology is already here. They see humanity on a cellular level as a neighbourhood and they want to see our planet healed and the neighbourhood at the same time. It’s an evolution revolution and it’s happening around our planet and Laurence & Zahra are doing their part. Bubbles of creativity and community are popping up everywhere around our planet - they are becoming more and more = spreading out until their sides touch and then the tipping point will be reached and they will all merge into the new paradigm. Food is an important piece of the jigsaw – have control of what we are putting into our body temple. Then we have autonomy – we have choice, health and better strategies and outcomes. Other Interview Topics Ethics and values will become an important issue. What if Greenpeace had incorporated Greenpeace Inc and set up a solution oriented arm – to provide for everyone everyone. Because they would have tens of millions of potential investors, stakeholders buyers suppliers employees – the could have been huge by now and gaining more adherents because their products and services were second to none! And ecological sustainability would be embedded throughout the network/organisation. Corporations are in a death spiral and they are not loved by people and big doesn’t function anymore. Collaborative is the new model Even businesses are collaborating with their own competitors today. Co-opetition. e.g. restaurant row. Force fed Neo liberal nonsense of dog eat dog has to come to an end - dogs don’t eat each other either. Our world is based on diversity and symbiosis Noo map http://noomap.info/co-creation/ - Barbara Marks Hubbard Co creation and how we are working together to create and shape our future. Open Source Society in Wellington NZ. We have the capacity to work together and collaborate on large scale issues at a species level.
