"You are always a student, never a master." This simple principle serves as the heartbeat for a life dedicated to authentic human depth. In a world optimized for digital efficiency and "frictionless" convenience, the true currency of a meaningful life remains the unscalable power of independent thought, presence, and intentional effort.   In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Sandra Lopez explores the growing cultural movement of human connection, healing, and the unexpected ways we tune back into our personal truths. Sandra shares insights from her personal journey, including navigating a high-stakes executive career at tech giants like Intel, Adobe, and Microsoft, confronting a pivotal 360-feedback review that labeled her a "robot," and utilizing the forced pause of the COVID-19 pandemic to embark on a radical road of self-discovery through Kabbalah. Together, the conversation dives into how we show up for our teams with deep empathy, the power of using technology as a contrarian force, and how choosing a messy, non-traditional path allows leaders to trade superficial ego validation for lasting, soul-led growth.   10 Memorable Quotes: "Business is business, and you keep your personal life separate." "Until, you know, maybe two years into, uh, my management, I got my 360 feedback, and, feedback is a gift." "One of my team members said, 'I don't know Sandra. She seems to be like a robot.'" "A good leader delivers results, but how do you become a great leader? And the great leader is the understanding that we are all humans." "The greatest gift that I get isn't my bonus. It's the little emails that I get..." "I'm 53 and I would say most of my lifespan, was probably giving gratitude very superficially." "Am I doing this for my ego or am I doing this for my soul? And that's a very hard transition actually." "The soul responds to the soul. So when, if you're starting your own business and you really focus on what's the soul of the company... Humans are gonna respond to that." "The moments, the hardest moments of my life was when I saw exponential growth." "Be delusionally... Be delusional about finding your soul. How's that? DeLulo" 10 Key Takeaways: The Character Test of Feedback: Why embracing uncomfortable 360-degree reviews and extracting truth from critical peer assessments is infinitely better than building an inner circle of enablers. Good vs. Great Leadership: Understanding the stark reality of corporate metrics, where delivering OKRs only makes you a good leader, while a great leader prioritizes the unscalable human-to-human capacity. The Hidden Debt of the Ego: Recognizing the profound impact of modern business systems and digital platforms like LinkedIn, which function as machines engineered to feed external images rather than internal truths. The Evolving Rules of Tech: Dealing with the modern reality of AI engagement, choosing to use technology strictly as a contrarian tool to challenge strategic blind spots rather than a superficial echo chamber to validate existing bias. The Value of Trailing Humans: Processing the bittersweet realization that while tools can assist operations, chatbots lack a conscience, meaning true personal breakthroughs require stepping away from screens to converse with a real human being. Remembering COVID's Gift: Reclaiming the narrative around global and personal hardships by extending genuine gratitude to a crisis that forced a necessary internal pause and deep ancestral self-discovery. Systemic vs. Soul Presence: Learning that showing up authentically requires skipping rigid, traditional expectations of how leaders "should" live or format their personal partnerships and spaces. Sitting in the SAVERS Routine: A look at how intentional daily habits form resilience, utilizing quiet mornings dedicated to silence, gratitude, visualization, exercise, contrarian reading, and scribing. Certainty and Intuition: How dialing into your core intuition prompts people to pause, providing an unshakeable confidence that overrides logical fears when making massive career pivots. The Micro-Intervention of the Zag: How breaking past a commoditized, fast-paced, and highly automated corporate landscape to bring the purposeful messiness of the soul back into business is the ultimate competitive advantage. About our Guest: Growing up with a relentless work ethic shaped the foundation of Sandra Lopez's purpose-driven approach to leadership. Guided by the personal philosophy that "you are always a student, never a master," she learned early that true wisdom requires a lifelong commitment to unlearning, learning, and continuously putting one foot in front of the other, no matter how grueling the path becomes. Raised to appreciate the delicate balance between high-stakes profit metrics and a deep responsibility to give back, those early values instilled in her a lasting dedication to community advocacy, representation, and leading with radical transparency. After entering the technology workforce, Sandra discovered a deep passion for driving corporate transformation at an elite level, spending over twenty years holding executive and leadership roles at iconic global brands including Intel, Adobe, and serving as the former CMO of Microsoft Advertising. What began as a traditional path focused on hard business outcomes evolved into a fulfilling calling as the CEO of Ambi Ventures, where she partners with ambitious businesses to provide elite fractional CMO services, advisory expertise, and investments. Dedicated to being an active advocate for Latina executives across America and serving as a co-chair for the World Economic Forum's AR/VR Model Commission, Sandra believes that integrating empathy and humanity into corporate spaces is at the heart of meaningful growth. Outside of her advisory career, she stays actively involved in exploring diverse spiritual and mindfulness practices like Kabbalah, prioritizing intentional morning routines, and inspiring the next generation of leaders to look past the ego to connect deeply with their soul's true purpose.

Send us Fan MailFor decades, we've talked about the digital revolution - but according to Professor Klaus Schwab, we've already moved beyond it. We're now entering what he calls the Intelligent Age - where intelligence itself becomes the most valuable resource on Earth.Professor Klaus Schwab is Founder of the World Economic Forum and one of the most influential thinkers on how technological and societal systems evolve ( https://schwabacademy.org/klaus-schwab ).Over more than five decades, Professor Schwab helped shape global conversations around stakeholder capitalism and the Fourth Industrial Revolution - frameworks that examined how digital technologies were transforming economies and institutions.Now, in a new phase of his work, Professor Schwab has turned his focus to what he calls the “Intelligent Age” - a period defined not just by digital tools, but by the convergence of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing as foundational drivers of society.Through a series of recent books - including Thriving and Leading in the Intelligent Age, Longevity and Retirement in the Intelligent Age, Restoring Truth and Trust, and Universities in the Intelligent Age - he explores how intelligence itself is becoming the world's most important resource, and what that means for leadership, education, institutions, and human purpose.At the core of Professor Schwab's work is a central question:How do we ensure that as machines become more intelligent, societies become more human?Important Episode Links -Schwab Academy - https://schwabacademy.org/Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship - https://www.schwabfound.org/homeGlobal Shapers Community - https://www.globalshapers.org/homeThriving and Leading in the Intelligent Age: Mastering Change with Purpose - https://www.amazon.com/Thriving-Leading-Intelligent-Age-Mastering/dp/297019547X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0Longevity and Retirement in the Intelligent Age: Opening New Horizons in Later Life - https://www.amazon.com/Longevity-Retirement-Intelligent-Age-Horizons/dp/2970198800/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0Universities, Professors, and Students in the Intelligent Age: A Call for Systems Change - https://www.amazon.com/Universities-Professors-Students-Intelligent-Age/dp/2970198878/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0Restoring Truth and Trust: An Agenda for the Intelligent Age - https://www.amazon.com/Restoring-Truth-Trust-Agenda-Intelligent/dp/2970198835/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 #KlausSchwab #IntelligentAge #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #LifelongLearning #FourthIndustrialRevolution #AI #Longevity #FutureOfEducation #DigitalTransformation #HumanCentricAI #Leadership #Innovation #GlobalEconomy #SystemsThinking #FutureOfSociety #EducationReform #AIRevolution #TechnologyTrends #WorkforceTransformation #PurposeDrivenLeadership #Reskilling #Upskilling #FutureTrends #PodcastSupport the show

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. While in college at Marymount, Theo ran the Boys and Girls Club program with Phillip Redd. He liked the connections and impact he had made in SoCal, and wondered whether he could do the same at home. This was back when Barack Obama was first running for president, and there was a prevailing sense of hope and possibility pervading life for a lot of folks. And so Theo moved back home. He transferred to Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont after his sophomore year, and got a degree there three years later. Upon his arrival in The City and concurrent with his time in college in The Bay, he got involved in SF politics serving on commissions and boards. It helped him really dig in to living here. Then-mayor Newsom appointed Theo to the Youth Commission. He had done yet another documentary in high school, this time on homelessness in The City. That got the mayor's attention. "The Homeless Orchestra" compared the crisis of the unhoused population to the inner workings of an orchestra. The mayor took that doc to Davos, Switzerland, and showed it at the World Economic Forum there. Young Theo talked with folks like Tom Ammiano and Matt Gonzalez for his movie. He lived near his transfer college, Notre Dame de Namur, in Belmont on the Peninsula. After class, he'd hurry back to San Francisco for Youth Commission meetings. He also sat on the Southeast Community Facility (SCF) Commission. Theo and I go on a sidebar here about how we use the tools at our disposal—tech, government—for better and for worse. From his place on the SCF Commission, Theo joined the commission on community investment and infrastructure. They oversaw the development of Hunter's Point Shipyard, Mission Bay, the Transbay Terminal, as well as a few other spots around The City. They worked on housing in those areas and approved 3,000 units, one-third of which were affordable and 250 that were set aside for formerly houseless families. Theo, his mom, and his brother had moved to Third and Newcomb, near the opera house where we recorded. With that move, Theo saw BVOH as a community fixture. The opera house has been there since 1888 (which we learned in our episode with them). Theo took classes there when he was a kid. Around 2010, he walked in and asked how he could get involved. He joined the board and took over years later as interim executive director after a shakeup. In his tenure as interim ED, he helped get a $250K grant for lighting and sound. They were able to give grants to artists and they launched their SF Sounds series: an artist is actually on the floor with eventgoers for those events. I ask Theo about friend of this show Allegra Madsen and her time at BVOH. After stating the obvious, that Allegra is awesome, Theo says that the opera house wants to bring back Frameline and other film fests. "You shouldn't have to leave your neighborhood to catch a film," he says. We also talk about the Hey, Auntie! gumbo contest, which I helped judge, back in 2025 and which took place at the Bayview Opera house. Then we talk about Theo's run for D10 supervisor. The campaign's premise: We can do better in the Southeast. He ran back in 2018, but he's running again because of the potential he sees for the area to dictate the kind of community it wants to become. San Francisco obviously has equitable differences among different parts of our city. Theo cites better transit, housing, and support for small businesses among the most important issues he wants to tackle. Visit his website for more info: https://www.theoellington.com/.

Welcome to episode 259 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, the UK announces the conviction of an international arms-trafficking network, and the European Union announces its latest sanctions package targeting Russia's "shadow fleet" and military-industrial capacity. UK Finance publishes a report designating the country's £1.3 billion fraud losses as a national security threat, and there is a surge in UK company strike-offs following the introduction of mandatory identity checks. High-ranking Virgin Islands officials have been sentenced for procurement fraud, and there is a four-year jail term for a director involved in a £3 million property insolvency scheme. Finally, the FCA has proposed an overhaul of its penalty regime to include inflation-adjusted fines, and the World Economic Forum warns of the emerging AI arms race as hackers increasingly move toward exploiting generative technologies to bypass traditional security.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial. The photograph on the podcast cover art is by Sora Shimazaki at Pexels, and the stinger sample between each news section is ‘Ben Logo 1' by BenKirb from Pixabay.

Nouveauté : Brieuc lance une lettre hebdomadaire : Adaptable(s). Abonnez-vous pour recevoir des outils, principes et retours d'expériences pour permettre aux dirigeantes et dirigeants d'entreprises d'anticiper les risques, notamment physiques, du 21ème siècle.Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Bonjour à toutes et à tous,J'espère que vous allez bien en cette année 2026, malgré la période complexe que vous traversez. Et encore, le mot complexe est presque un euphémisme.Depuis quelque temps déjà, vous sentez sans doute ce bruit de fond qui devient de plus en plus fort : les difficultés d'approvisionnement se multiplient, certaines matières premières se raréfient, deviennent imprévisibles, voire inaccessibles à cause des prix. Les coûts fluctuent, les délais s'allongent, et ce qui semblait stable autrefois ne l'est plus aujourd'hui.À votre époque, le World Economic Forum avait publié son rapport sur les risques globaux. Et le principal risque identifié était... roulement de tambour : le risque géopolitique. Vous n'êtes probablement pas surpris. Moi non plus, malheureusement. Et c'est justement l'une des principales causes des difficultés que rencontrent de nombreuses entreprises.À cette époque, beaucoup pensaient que cela finirait par passer : une simple phase, une turbulence temporaire, ou un problème qui ne les concernait que de loin. Mais d'où je vous écris, je peux vous l'affirmer : ce n'était pas une crise passagère.C'était le début d'une profonde reconfiguration du monde économique. Les années qui ont suivi ont demandé bien plus qu'une simple capacité d'adaptation : elles ont exigé de l'anticipation. Les organisations qui existent encore en 2036 (l'époque depuis laquelle je vous parle) ont toutes un point commun : elles n'ont pas attendu que la situation devienne critique pour agir.Elles ont :cartographié leurs dépendances ;relocalisé ce qui pouvait l'être ;intégré l'économie circulaire comme une véritable stratégie de résilience ;investi dans leur capacité à résister avant que cela ne devienne une urgence.Je sais qu'il est toujours plus facile de dire cela avec le recul. Pourtant, vous pouvez dès aujourd'hui commencer à :anticiper vos risques ;identifier vos vulnérabilités ;construire un plan d'action concret.Pour cela, je vous invite vivement à découvrir la méthode d'aide à la décision pour la résilience d'entreprise mise en place par mon père et son équipe à votre époque sur le site : Resilience EntrepriseSur ces quelques mots, je vous dis à bientôt, et surtout bon courage pour cette période qui, je le sais, n'est pas la plus simple à vivre.Joséphine, depuis 2036 Pour aller plus loin : Baladez-vous sur notre site internet (tout neuf) ; Téléchargez nos outils sur la Circulab Academy ; Inscrivez-vous à notre newsletter ; Envoyez-nous vos retours ou suggestions sur Linkedin : Justine Laurent et Brieuc Saffré.

Tonight, the Homeless Persons Union of Victoria in collaboration with 44 Flats United and Flat Out, are hosting 'Winter Wildfire' at Birrarung Marr, a downhill event to the CEO Sleepout. You can attend Winter Wildfire in person at the Federation Bells, Birrarung Marr from 7-8PM, or join the live stream on Homeless Persons Union of Victoria's Facebook page.// Jeremy Poxon, member of Antipoverty Centre, unemployed antipoverty activist and former spokesperson for the Australian Unemployed Workers' Union, helped us unpack how Centrelink continues to systematically and unlawfully cancel payments. The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations has now suggested in Estimates hearings that over 100,000 people may have had their Centrelink payments unlawfully cancelled under the Targeted Compliance Framework (TCF) – roughly 10 times the number the Department has publicly admitted. Jeremy discusses the hearings, the TCF, the creation of a new complaints service, and how to get support if you are affected by payment suspensions or cancellations.// As part of 3CR's 50th anniversary celebrations, we dive into the station's archives to take you back 26 years to a pivotal protest against the World Economic Forum, 11-13 September 2000, at the Crown Casino Complex in Melbourne. The s11 protest brought disparate organising groups together into a broad coalition against globalisation and multinational domination. 3CR covered the massive public opposition to the WEF and compiled highlights of the broadcasts on an award-winning 12-part CD, Globalisation Unplugged.// Christine Carolan, a member of Save Community Health, joined us again to unpack the recently released 'Review of Cohealth General Practice and Related Services, Final Report March 2026'. The Review was provided to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, and the Victorian Department of Health in March and released publicly in June. Christine explains what the review found and recommended, why it is so significant, reactions to the report, and what comes next. Save Community Health is a community led campaign that receives no funding and is not affiliated with any political party or group. Contact them via email at savecommunityhealth@gmail.com and find out more on their website. Christine encouraged folks to email Health Minister Harriet Shing (contact details here) to demand that cohealth is appropriately resourced and governed to continue providing vital public health services to Melbourne's community.// Chris Ferric is a Naarm-based painter and portraitist whose artistic practice explores social change, collaboration, and developing accessible practices, as well as a member of Disabled People Against Cuts. They were of a group from Disabled People Against Cuts that addressed the public hearing for the Senate Inquiry into the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026 last week. We spoke with Chris about their experience at the public hearing, the dangers of using AI within the NDIS, and why the inquiry report has been delayed. Disabled People Against Cuts encourages people to meet with their local member and senators to ask them to insist on the withrdrawal of the bill. Disabled People Against Cuts also shared The Commons Social Change Library as a resource to assist in taking action.//

Dr. Jeremiah Johnston does not just talk about evidence. He brings it. A first-century Roman crucifixion nail, six inches long, curved from being hammered into flesh again and again. The dice the soldiers cast for a dying man's clothes. Ancient coins. A cup pulled from the waters of Alexandria that calls Jesus a magician and predates the gospels. One by one, he sets them on the table, and one by one, the story of the cross stops feeling like a story. We examine how the Shroud of Turin is scientific proof of the resurrection. We stare at the face of the man of the shroud, 374 scourge marks, a side wound between the fifth and sixth rib, and an image science still cannot replicate. Jeremiah breaks down the 1898 negative photograph that started it all, the flawed carbon dating, the pollen grains that only bloom in springtime in Jerusalem, and the burst of energy it would take to scorch that image into the cloth.Jeremiah is a New Testament scholar, the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Jesus Discoveries, and a man who has carried this evidence to Tucker, Shawn Ryan, and the World Economic Forum at Davos. And he comes to Blurry Creatures because he embraces the same thing we do. The supernatural is real, and the modern church has a truncated view of it. We get into the cup that calls Jesus a magician, the graffiti that mocks the crucifixion, his own angel encounter on a New Jersey highway, and the one question that ends the skeptical argument. Where is the body?

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has come under renewed criticism after revelations that its president and CEO, Børge Brende, resigned following disclosures that he had several dinners and exchanged communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Brende said he was unaware of Epstein's criminal history at the time and claimed he would have declined the invitations if he had known. Critics have questioned that explanation, noting that Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor was already widely known and easily discoverable. The episode has revived scrutiny of the WEF's connections to controversial figures and raised questions about the judgment of senior global leaders involved with the organization.The controversy has added to broader criticism and scandals that have surrounded the World Economic Forum in recent years. Founder Klaus Schwab stepped down after allegations involving the misuse of organizational funds and workplace conduct, although the forum's board later said there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing. At the same time, political leaders and commentators have increasingly attacked the WEF's influence and ideology, accusing it of promoting globalization policies that they argue have harmed Western economies. The renewed focus on Epstein ties has further fueled skepticism about the elite networks surrounding the Davos gathering and intensified scrutiny of the organization's leadership and global role.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein scandal adds to mounting controversies surrounding globalist WEF | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography, Trent Bell sits down with architect and author Danish Kurani to discuss his latest book, The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World.  Trent and Danish explore the powerful ways architecture and environmental design shape our psychology, behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. From the spaces we grow up in to the cities we move through every day, the discuss how thoughtful design can influence how we connect, feel, and live. The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World: https://www.amazon.com/Spaces-That-Make-Us-Healthier/dp/1400249120 About Danish Kurani: Danish Kurani sees how buildings are failing to nourish people. After witnessing how poorly designed environments hold back people across the globe – from the middle of Manhattan to villages in India – he's made it his mission to remake architecture for human flourishing. His groundbreaking designs for New York City, Google, and communities on four continents prove that thoughtful architecture can unlock human potential. Named one of the World's Most Innovative Architects by Fast Company, Kurani has pioneered a human-centered approach that's transforming lives worldwide. His work spans from floating homes in disaster-prone areas to schools in informal settlements, always focusing on one question: how can architecture solve our most pressing social challenges?  A Harvard-trained architect and urban designer, Kurani's architectural ideas have been shared at leading institutions including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Columbia, and featured in TIME, World Economic Forum, and the Wall Street Journal. National governments recognize him as a leading voice in social impact architecture – not because he builds beautiful buildings, but because he builds spaces that work for real people.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → AI is moving fast, and the bookkeeping profession is squarely in its path — but not in the way most people fear. In this episode, Michael Palmer sits down with AI strategist and educator Benjamin Tasker to talk about what the shift actually looks like on the ground, which skills will separate bookkeepers who thrive from those who stall, and how to start building your own AI system without a data science degree. Chapters [00:00] Welcome and Ben's Background [03:15] From Data Science to AI Education [08:00] AI's Real Impact on Bookkeeping [12:00] Human Judgment as the Key Check [15:30] Skills That Separate Thriving Bookkeepers [21:00] Data, Systems, and AI Strategy [25:00] Opportunities to Move Up the Value Chain [29:00] First Steps for Integrating AI [32:00] Client Expectations and Transparency [35:00] Fear, Mindset, and Where to Find Ben AI Will Elevate Bookkeeping, Not Replace It Ben is direct about the headline fear: bookkeepers are not going away. "AI will help elevate what a bookkeeper does," he says. The repetitive work — transaction coding, receipt capture, anomaly detection, drafting reports — gets absorbed by AI, which frees up the bookkeeper to move from data entry to data judgment. Think less time in the books and more time coaching clients on their financial pain points. AICPA and Intuit both point in the same direction: the future of the role looks a lot more like analytics and advisory than data input. The Two Skill Lanes Every Bookkeeper Should Know Ben references the World Economic Forum's skills taxonomy, which divides skills into two tracks. AI skills — analytical thinking, systems thinking, coding — pay a premium today, but AI will eventually encroach on those. Human skills — communication, empathy, leadership — are undervalued right now but will command a premium as AI can only mimic, never genuinely replace, them. "AI can put on a facade of empathy and compassion, but it really can't have it because it's robotic." For bookkeepers, the practical focus areas are AI supervision (checking outputs rigorously), advisory thinking, digital and data fluency, and transparent client communication. The Human in the Loop Is Not Optional Ben's background in healthcare data — building algorithms to predict sepsis risk from bedside monitors — gives him a sharp view on why human validation matters. A small data error that goes unchecked can cascade into a much larger problem. "A mistake, especially for a small business owner, could cost tens of thousands of dollars." Bookkeepers already understand this: the work is either right or it isn't. That precision mindset is exactly what responsible AI use demands, and it is a genuine competitive advantage for practitioners who carry it into their AI workflows. Data Is the Oil — Build a System, Not Just a Stack of Tools One of Ben's clearest points: buying an AI tool is not an AI strategy. The framework he outlines is straightforward — start with your data (client records, call transcripts, templates, Google Sheets), run it through a system you build and control, apply AI to it, then validate and iterate. "Just because you buy an AI tool doesn't mean you have an AI strategy or even an AI business." He encourages bookkeepers to build their own processing systems rather than relying entirely on third-party integrations that can change without warning. Start small — something as simple as having AI draft follow-up emails from call transcripts is a low-risk, high-value first step. Practical First Steps and Client Communication For bookkeepers ready to start, Ben's advice is to pick a low-stakes problem, solve it, and let that build confidence. Use AI to profile prospective clients from call transcripts, automate follow-up reminders, or create a client-facing dashboard from existing data. On the client side, transparency is non-negotiable: communicate that you are using AI, explain how it benefits them, and teach them how to give better inputs so they get better outputs. "By providing inputs and encouraging your customers to use AI to show them the benefits of it, they're going to become less resistant over time." That kind of teaching deepens the client relationship well beyond what traditional bookkeeping alone can offer.

About the hostMichael PalmerMichael Palmer is the host of The Successful Bookkeeper podcast and co-founder of Pure Bookkeeping and The Successful Bookkeeper. He started this work because of his father — a brilliant electrical contractor who worked twice as hard as he should have had to, because nobody on the financial side was in his corner. That gap is what The Successful Bookkeeper exists to close. His view: bookkeepers are the most undervalued force in small business — and every bookkeeper who builds a real business changes two families: theirs, and their clients'.

The role of a Chief Investment Officer is multifaceted – acting as both the guardian and the architect of a company's investment process, and preventing people from making mistakes that might destroy value. A key requisite for the job is the ability to stay calm amid the panic when a global crisis hits.In this special edition of The View Beyond, produced jointly with the World Economic Forum's Radio Davos, Bernadette Anderko and WEF Editor Robin Pomeroy sit down with Julius Baer's Group CIO Yves Bonzon to explore the history and nature of recent crises. Yves has spent more than three decades steering portfolios through other people's worst weeks: the crash of '87, the Asian crisis 10 years later, 2008's Global Financial Crisis, COVID, the tariff wars, and now of course the war in Iran. He explains why each crisis provides opportunities to make a difference. After all, in the face of a crisis, a CIO must decide: is history repeating itself, or is a new paradigm emerging?(00:00) - Introduction: A special joint episode from Julius Baer and Radio Davos (02:02) - Crisis navigation: Every crisis is different (03:30) - Exogenous vs. endogenous shocks (06:48) - Oil, markets, and resilience (11:31) - Looking back to the financial crisis of 2008 (13:50) - Crises are opportunities to make a difference (16:25) - Balancing risk mitigation and opportunity (20:26) - Liquidity events in turbulent times (22:32) - Private markets vs. public markets (23:34) - When does a crisis become a crisis?

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. As artificial intelligence accelerates and automation becomes a fixture in our workplaces, a massive shift is happening. The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs data maps out the skills that will define the next five years, and the top of the human skills list reads less like a traditional training catalogue and more like a description of a great therapist: empathy, active listening, resilience, and the ability to influence without authority. This week, we are joined for a third time by management and leadership coach Vince Sanderson. With 14 years of coaching experience and millions of likes on social media, Vince's mission is to teach leaders the vital human-centric skills they very often never get formal training on. In this episode, we break down these "soft skills" into actionable workplace behaviours, discuss why a manager has more impact on an employee's life satisfaction than a therapist, and identify the single "multiplier" skill that will define successful leadership this decade.

From cigarette butts to juice pouches, TerraCycle tackles items that are difficult or impossible to recycle through traditional systems. The company partners with leading brands, retailers, and individuals to make recycling these materials not only possible but impactful for the planet.“There are so many things that are not recyclable, not because they can't be, but because it costs more to collect and process them than the results are worth,” explained Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle, during an interview. “This is where TerraCycle comes in. We work with stakeholders to fund the cost of recycling these hard-to-recycle waste streams.”Tom revealed that the company has been operating successfully for 25 years and serves over 20 countries worldwide. This success is driven by a commitment not only to environmental impact but also to business fundamentals. TerraCycle has been profitable for over a decade, has issued regular dividends since 2018, and recently raised $5 million in under 60 days through a regulated investment crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign. The capital is being deployed to fuel growth, primarily through acquisitions that strengthen operational capabilities.“The Reg CF allowed us to raise from everyday people—non-accredited investors—who believe in our mission and the future of TerraCycle,” Tom said. The company is currently expanding further with a Reg A offering, giving more individuals the opportunity to invest and share in TerraCycle's vision of a trash-free world.Tom's perspective on waste is inspiring. He explained that garbage is a modern problem, created about 75 years ago. Yet, within this challenge lies opportunity. Instead of viewing waste as merely an environmental issue, TerraCycle repositions garbage as a valuable resource—a mindset integral to the company's mission.This is more than profit-driven entrepreneurship; TerraCycle exemplifies the power of purpose to drive innovation and change. Investing in the planet's future through waste recycling isn't just good business—it's essential.By making recycling accessible and actionable, TerraCycle empowers companies and individuals alike to play a role in reducing waste and building a sustainable future.tl;dr:TerraCycle tackles hard-to-recycle waste, partnering with brands and individuals to eliminate garbage.Tom Szaky revealed how the company's services span 20 countries and 25 years of innovation.TerraCycle raised $5 million via a Reg CF campaign to accelerate growth and acquisitions.The current Reg A offering allows anyone, not just accredited investors, to invest in TerraCycle.Tom shared his superpower: inspiring belief in ideas through purpose and passion-driven leadership.How to Develop Inspiring Belief in Big Ideas As a SuperpowerTom describes his ability to inspire belief in his ideas as his superpower. Reflecting on his lifelong talent for gaining support, Tom explained, “I've been able to get people to believe in my ideas and help make them a reality.” At TerraCycle, this ability manifests in attracting customers, investors, and volunteers who all rally to support the company's mission. He added, “You make what you're working on so interesting, so exciting, and you have to really believe in that yourself…people are magnetized to it.”Tom's superpower first revealed itself in second grade through an origami project. He began folding cranes, inspired to create a beautiful curtain for his room. As his enthusiasm grew, it captured the attention of his classmates; first, his table joined in, then the entire class. Without asking for help, Tom's passion made others eager to participate. This dynamic has followed him to TerraCycle, where hundreds of thousands of volunteers now help run recycling programs around the world.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Choose an idea you deeply believe in—passion is contagious and magnetizes others.Focus on how your idea contributes beauty, value, or purpose to the world.Avoid asking for help directly; instead, lead by example and draw people in with your actions.Develop purposeful ideas that inspire others to contribute willingly.By following Tom's example and advice, you can make inspiring belief in big ideas 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.

The global economy is fragmenting, and it could lead to a hit of $6 trillion to GDP worldwide. That's more than the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis. So what exactly is causing this fragmentation, and can the impacts be mitigated? Finance industry experts join us to explore the forces of fragmentation and examine a new report by the World Economic Forum and Oliver Wyman, which quantifies its impact and details the consequences on the global economy and emerging markets in particular. Guests: Matt Strahan, Private Market Initiatives Lead at the World Economic Forum Daniel Tannebaum, Global Anti-Financial Crime Practice Leader at Oliver Wyman Anne Walsh, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Guggenheim Partners Daniel Mminele, Chairman of Nedbank Links: Deepening Divides: The Cost of a More Fragmented Financial System: https://wef.ch/financialfragmentation26 Related podcasts: Chief Economists Outlook: counting the cost of the Hormuz crisis, with Maersk's Ilaria Maselli: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/chief-economists-outlook-maersk-ilaria-maselli/ The Iran oil shock: will it force the world to re-think the future of energy?: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/oil-shocks-hormuz-iran-columbia-energy-exchange-jason-bordoff/ The rise of industrial policy - why governments are back in the business of business: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/industrial-policy-trade-choke-points/ Welcome to Cold War Two: historian Niall Ferguson on geopolitics in 2026: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/niall-ferguson-geopolitics-cold-war/ Check out all our podcasts on wef.ch/podcasts:  YouTube: - https://www.youtube.com/@wef/podcasts Radio Davos - subscribe: https://pod.link/1504682164 Meet the Leader - subscribe: https://pod.link/1534915560 Agenda Dialogues - subscribe: https://pod.link/1574956552  

“Dixon Chibanda's beautiful and heroic book will inspire everyone who reads it.”— Johann Hari2025 BookPal OWL Award Winner • As featured on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR's Here and NowA simple, human solution for loneliness and depressionWhen Dr. Dixon Chibanda lost a patient to suicide, he began a soul-searching journey that eventually led to a mental healthcare revolution. As one of only six psychiatrists in all of Zimbabwe, a country traumatized by decades of conflict, Chibanda quickly realized that millions there were suffering from mental illness with no hope of receiving care. He saw that the only way to narrow this care gap was to leverage existing resources in the community, and one such resource was the compassion and understanding of grandmothers. With fourteen of these wise elders as partners, Chibanda pioneered the Friendship Bench program, a community-driven initiative addressing loneliness, depression, substance abuse, and suicide by fostering intergenerational connectedness. Since then, more than 500,000 people worldwide have sat on a park bench to share their personal stories with an empathetic grandmother.A primer on how human connection forms the bedrock of our resilience, The Friendship Bench gives readers the tools to facilitate transformative healing by reaching out to those who are struggling and isolated from the world around them. It's a case study of how interventions supported by robust scientific evidence can be made accessible for all. Ultimately, it's a celebration of the collective wisdom and knowledge of those rooted in their communities and their profound ability to foster belonging, purpose, and healing.Dixon Chibanda, MD, is a professor of psychiatry at the University of Zimbabwe and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The director of the African Mental Health Research Initiative (AMARI), he has written about his work for The Guardian and LA Times and spoken to audiences at the World Economic Forum, the Aspen Ideas Festival, and the TEDWomen conference.https://www.friendshipbench.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Brynly Llyr has deep roots in fintech and blockchain — in-house at eBay, PayPal, and Ripple, where she served as one of the first general counsels in crypto, then founding team at Celo, then Head of Blockchain and Digital Assets at the World Economic Forum. Now she's Deputy Commissioner for Digital Financial Assets at the California DFPI, leading the rollout of the Digital Financial Assets Law, which goes live July 1, 2026, covering exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers, and crypto kiosks across the world's fourth-largest economy.Ari Redbord, TRM's Global Head of Policy, sits down with Brynly to talk through what California is actually trying to solve. IC3 data puts the state at the top of the country for crypto-related fraud losses, with serious harm to elderly residents and teenagers under 17. Her thesis: licensed intermediaries that recognize fraud patterns are the most powerful lever a regulator has.They also dig into how blockchain's public visibility changes what supervisors can see in real time — and what that means for every licensed business managing its own risk. The conversation covers AI's role in regulation, what success looks like a year from now, and the universal experience of feeding teenage boys.

The economy was designed to serve life. At some point, it forgot. This article traces how that happened - through colonial extraction, currency manipulation, and centuries of treating the Earth as an inexhaustible resource - and more importantly, what is already being built in its place. It is also worth naming what is being built against it. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), digital identity systems, and the broader technocratic agenda advancing through institutions like the World Economic Forum represent a competing vision of the future - one where economic participation is surveilled, programmable, and ultimately controlled by the few. That is not a regenerative economy. It is the extractive economy in a new interface. The regenerative economy moves in the opposite direction: toward decentralization, sovereignty, reciprocity, and life. From Time Banks in New York to community currencies in Ecuador to worker cooperatives in Spain, it is not a future vision. It is a present reality, waiting to be joined. And while blockchain and regenerative finance are real and important parts of this picture, the regenerative economy is bigger than any single technology. It is a whole-systems redesign - cultural, spiritual, and practical - of how human beings relate to value, to each other, and to all living beings on Earth.A System Feature | Designed to ExtractA president steps up to the podium in Manila, praising the economic progress their country has fulfilled after, what many of us call “ the plandemic”. Outside the auditorium, a young mother carries her child on her hip, knocking on car windows at a red light, eyes down, asking for alms. The applause inside the hall doesn't reach her. It never does.The president says the currency has strengthened. That prices are coming down. Meanwhile, across the city, a farmer named Rodrigo is standing in the field he has worked for thirty years, calculating whether this harvest will cover the loan he took out before the last typhoon swept his crop away. It didn't. This is not an exception to the economic system. It is a feature of it. A reflection of a culture that does not care about those actually in need.Many nations measure their health through GDP - Gross Domestic Product - which essentially dictates whether or not an economy is “progressing.” It runs under one quiet assumption: that the Earth will keep giving. Indefinitely. Without asking anything in return. That before the calculations around supply, demand, and the balance of everything else, all the raw materials are already ideally supplied.The Earth is answering. Typhoons that once came once a generation now arrive like clockwork. Harvests that fed communities for centuries are failing across the Andes, the Sahel, the Mekong delta. The seasons that indigenous peoples read as living calendars have become erratic, unreliable, grieving. None of this is random. It is a response - accurate and proportional - to an economy built on the assumption that extraction has no cost.If we were truly “abundant” financially, we would not have billions of people at risk of starvation, homelessness, and other manifestations of neglect and poverty. The economy was supposed to serve all life. It has forgotten this. And in forgetting it, it has begun to abandon human life itself.The Story We InheritedMoney was supposed to be a promissory note for the gold reserves one actually held. The paper was a symbol - pointing at something real, something held in a vault somewhere, something that could be touched.Then the notes began circulating. And the longer they circulated, the more people forgot what they were pointing to. Eventually, the circulation gave rise to the idea of turning the notes into currency itself. The symbol became the standard. It became backed not by gold, but by story - a story so strong, so repeated, so programmed into every transaction of daily life, that we began to mistake it for the truth.We placed a middleman between ourselves and our needs. And somewhere along the way, we forgot we had done it. Perhaps, by design. Here is what the story never tells you: the gold itself did not arrive innocently.In 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued Unam Sanctam, declaring papal authority supreme over all earthly power - making the Earth itself, philosophically, ownable. A century and a half later, that claim became economic policy. Dum Diversas (1452) authorized the enslavement of non-Christians across the globe. Romanus Pontifex (1455) granted Portugal the right to colonize and extract across Africa and the New World. Inter Caetera (1493) extended the same to Spain and the Americas.These were the founding economic legislation of the extractive world we live in - all cloaked in religious language.What followed was centuries of forced extraction. Economists Flynn and Giráldez have documented that colonial American silver - mined through indigenous forced labor in Potosí and across Peru and Mexico - became the standard monetary foundation of early global trade. The gold in the vault was never simply there. It was coercively taken.And then, on August 15, 1971, even that material trace was erased. President Nixon closed the gold window, ending the Bretton Woods system and severing the dollar's convertibility to gold. According to the Federal Reserve's own record, the international community was not consulted. From that moment, currency was backed by nothing but the authority of the government printing it.Knowing that we wrote ourselves into this story, we are now remembering that we can write ourselves out of it. Not only by writing new stories, but by reconnecting with stories that existed long before our current economic situation - stories that are still alive, still practiced, still remembered by the communities that never abandoned them.What Has Always WorkedBefore the conquest of certain nations to centralize power into their hands, other societies practiced more communal and regenerative ways of exchanging value. To them, considering other people and the Earth itself was not an ethical add-on. It was integral to the flourishing of their economies.Pre-colonial PhilippinesLong before the Spaniards arrived, the Philippine archipelago was a major hub in the maritime Silk Road - one of Asia's most active trade networks. Communities exchanged with Chinese, Japanese, Arab, and Indian traders at coastal ports and river settlements.The archipelagic geography made it impossible to consolidate wealth in any single place. Different tribes like the Maranao exchanged surplus agricultural produce, textiles, metalware, and forest products through robust barter systems built on kinship ties and alliances among polities. Value moved between two people who chose to relate. No middleman. Mutual trust was the economic infrastructure.Andean PeoplesThe Quechua people organized their economy around a relational foundation that lives in the language itself. Ayni - sacred reciprocity. Minka - collective community work. Randi-Randi - generalized reciprocity, the understanding that what circulates returns. All three connect to the broader principle of Sumak Kawsay: good living in right relationship with community, land, and the living world.Sumak Kawsay does not separate prosperity from the wellbeing of ecosystems. It understands them as one thing. This recognition runs so deep that Ecuador enshrined it as the central guiding principle for its national development in its 2008 constitution - the living legal inheritance of an ancient economy that knew how to stay.Haudenosaunee in North AmericaIn their 1981 formal statement to the United Nations, the Haudenosaunee Council of Chiefs articulated what their communities had practiced for centuries: that the earth was created for all to use, forever - not for the present generation to exhaust. Under their law, land is held by the women of each clan, who farm and care for it for the benefit of future generations.The Haudenosaunee saw land as a responsibility to be stewarded in trust. Anthropologist Kurt Jordan from Cornell University documented their economic practices and described them as “a reasonably sustainable, localized economy” even under intense external pressure. They had embodied communal stewardship long before theories about such things were written down.Southern Africa“I am because we are.”This is Ubuntu - the philosophy at the core of both social and economic life across Southern Africa. Communities in South Africa and Mozambique relied on mutual aid networks, intergenerational knowledge systems, and participatory rituals as practical economic infrastructure. These systems enhanced community cohesion and collective resilience precisely in the moments when extractive economies failed them. They understood, bone-deep, that no human being thrives in isolation.Diversity of Regen Economic SystemsMany communities across continents are actively rebuilding economic systems beyond the extractive model. The following are not theoretical. They are actively running. Hence, the more diversity of economic systems each person and community practices, the more abundant, unbreakable and independent we are from degenerative systems from governments and corporations that want to control it all. The Commons FoundationOne body of research forms the intellectual foundation for nearly all of them: the life's work of Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. Ostrom spent decades documenting over 800 cases of communities successfully governing shared resources - in Switzerland, Kenya, Guatemala, Nepal, and beyond - without either privatization or state control.Her conclusion was simple and radical: communities do not inevitably destroy what they share. Given the right institutional design, they protect it and pass this duty to the next generation. And her eight design principles for successful commons governance - the framework that emerged from all that fieldwork - describe, as she herself acknowledged, the same governance systems that indigenous communities had been practicing for centuries.Her work is not a new idea. It is a confirmation of ancient ones.Regenerative Economics | Beyond ReFi - The Whole-Systems VisionWhen most people first encounter the term “regenerative economy,” they arrive through crypto. Through ReFi - regenerative finance - and the promise of blockchain as a tool for funding ecological restoration, decentralizing power, and making impact transparent. These are real contributions. They matter.But John Fullerton, founder of the Capital Institute and one of the most rigorous thinkers in this field, spent two decades on Wall Street before arriving at a different and more fundamental question: what if the entire framework of modern finance is running in conflict with how life actually works?Fullerton's work focuses on building an economic framework that supports the long-term health of people, communities, and the planet - not by tweaking the existing system, but by replacing its underlying logic. His core argument is that we are running our society in conflict with the patterns and principles that explain how life works.His answer is what he calls regenerative economics: eight principles drawn from living systems science that describe how healthy economies - like healthy ecosystems - actually function. Diversity. Balance. Circular flow. Robust circulation. Surplus financial capital, in his framework, needs to be recycled and regenerated into other forms of capital - natural, social, and cultural. Not hoarded nor extracted. Composted back into the living system that produced it.ReFi, in Fullerton's framing, is one tool within this larger architecture. Blockchain can decentralize power. Tokenized nature credits can make ecological value legible to markets. Community currencies can circulate value locally. But the technology is only as regenerative as the values underneath it. A crypto project built on extraction logic is still extraction, regardless of the chain it runs on.Regenerative economy is not a financial product. It is a civilizational shift - in how we measure wealth, in what we decide to protect, in whose voices count when decisions are made. ReFi is welcome in that shift. It is one current in a much larger river.Time BanksIn Jackson Heights, Queens, a retired nurse named Gloria hasn't touched the formal economy in months for the things that matter most to her. She spends three hours teaching English to a recent immigrant. Those hours become credits. She spends them on home repairs from a neighbor who knows carpentry. He spends his credits on childcare. The loop keeps moving.This is a Time Bank - a community exchange system built on one radical premise: everyone's time is worth the same. One hour of legal advice equals one hour of gardening equals one hour of emotional support. The hierarchy of market wages disappears. What remains is a web of people who need each other.Edgar Cahn, who developed Time Banking in the 1980s after surviving a near-fatal heart attack, called it “co-production” - the idea that the economy needs what the market can never price: care, community, civic participation, the work of raising children and holding elders. Time Banks make that invisible labor visible, and circulate it back into the community that produced it.Today there are over 500 Time Banks operating in more than 30 countries. Some have formalized into neighborhood institutions. Others run through apps. All of them rest on the same foundation the Quechua called Ayni - sacred reciprocity - translated into the language of modern urban life.Mondragon CorporationThe Mondragon Corporation in Spain's Basque region remains the most studied proof that democratic ownership functions at scale. Founded by six worker-owners in 1956, it now comprises 96 cooperatives employing over 70,000 people, with annual revenues exceeding €11 billion. Workers own the company collectively, vote on strategy at general assemblies, and operate under a constitutionally capped pay ratio of 6-to-1 between the highest and lowest earners.Traditional Dream FactoryIn a 25-hectare village in Alentejo, Portugal, Traditional Dream Factory is a living prototype of the self-sustaining regenerative community - blending collective ownership, ecological restoration, intentional community, and decentralized economy in one working place. They have raised over €1.25 million in total capital across 280+ token holders. Their 2026 build phase is completing co-living rooms, artist studios, a farm-to-table restaurant, a mushroom farm, and a biopool wellness space.AtreyuInvestment, as most of us have encountered it, prioritizes short-term financial returns above all else. Atreyu challenges this at the root by approaching investment through living systems principles and deep relational due diligence. They support their investees to ensure that both the enterprises and the ecosystems they steward realize their potential - together. They focus on early-stage businesses and actively encourage steward-ownership models that enshrine self-governance and purpose orientation.Muyu CoinOne of the first social coins in South America, Based in Ecuador - Muyu serves as an alternative exchange system rooted in community trust and an understanding of sacred economy. It protects the sovereignty of communities in their production, distribution, exchange, consumption, and post-consumption - keeping the loop of value inside the community rather than extracting it outward. It uses Cyclos, an enchrypted platform, a base.It first did an attempt to start in 2015, but not many people showed interest. It then came back very strong in 2020, due to the “plandemic”. People felt the need to have alternative ways to transact that was not controlled by limiting governments. Giving communities complete independence. Currently with over 150+ members who are exchanging goods and services in different nodes throughout the country. From food produce, clothing and art -to- car mechanic, dentists and school teachers serving to the community.Grassroots EconomicsFounded in Kenya, Grassroots Economics supports communities in building their own self-sustaining economies - even when national currency is scarce - through a model called Commitment Pooling.Consider Wanjiru, a vegetable seller in Mombasa's Bangla Pesa network. During a slow week when Kenyan shillings are tight, she issues a Community Asset Voucher - a commitment to provide vegetables - and deposits it into a communal pool. Her neighbor, a carpenter named Kamau, redeems it. He offers his own labor in return. The loop closes. Food reaches a family that needed it. A roof gets repaired. No national currency changes hands.This is not a workaround. It is a return to how value was always supposed to move.Since Grassroots Economics was established in 2010, they have supported 26,600 people across 290+ communities, issuing over 2,140 vouchers. Their protocol is inspired by indigenous Rotational Labor Associations similar to Kenya's mwethya and harambee traditions. It is open-source and blockchain-agnostic - meaning any community, anywhere, can deploy it.The Choice in Front of UsThese regenerative endeavors share one answer to the core assumption of the extractive economy: the economy does not need to extract in order to function. Value can circulate and regenerate rather than accumulate. Ecological health, community resilience, and the wellbeing of the next generations are not costs to minimize - they are the actual metrics that demonstrate economic success.The question is no longer whether it is possible. It is happening. The question is whether enough of us choose to participate in building it, and whether we remember our roles as stewards of the Earth that has always sustained us.We get to choose the future we want for ourselves, our children, and the seven generations that come after.Your Role in the Regenerative EconomyReading this is already a kind of remembering. The question that follows is simple: where do you begin?The regenerative economy is not waiting to be invented. It is waiting to be joined. Every one of the models described here started with a small group of people who decided to practice a different relationship with value - before it was proven, before it was popular, before it was funded.Here are real entry points, available now:Start with your immediate circle. Identify three skills or resources you have in excess - time, knowledge, food from a garden, tools sitting unused. Offer them. Ask for what you need in return. This is Ayni. It requires no platform, no signup, no permission.Relocalize your spending. Every dollar (fiat currency) that circulates inside a local economy multiplies its impact without leaving the community. Farmers markets, community-supported agriculture, local cooperatives, regenerative small businesses - these are not lifestyle choices. They are votes for a different system, cast weekly.Find or start a Time Bank in your area. hOurworld.org and TimeBanks.org maintain active directories. If nothing exists near you, starting one requires little more than a spreadsheet and a Telegram/Whatsapp group.Join a community working on this. It can be our Regenerative Leadership Community from www.regenerativeculture.life is one place. There are others - transition towns, ecovillages, commons networks - in most regions of the world. Find your people. The regenerative economy is, at its root, a relationship economy. It does not work alone.Learn the language. Permaculture design, commons governance, cooperative economics, sacred reciprocity - these are not abstract concepts. They are practical skills with deep traditions behind them. The more fluent you become, the more useful you are to the communities building this.The scale of what needs to change can feel paralyzing. It is not meant to. The models described in this article did not begin at scale. Mondragon began with six people. Grassroots Economics began in one neighborhood in Mombasa. The Quechua did not design Ayni for a movement - they designed it for a harvest.Start where you are. With what you have. With whoever is near you. That has always been enough to begin. It's not easy, but it is possible.Written by Gertie Farenas and Yoshi Pantera - 90% by us humans and 10% AI assisted.This Audio is recorded by a true voice - Yoshi PanteraThis article is part of the Regenerative Culture Chronicle - a publication exploring the ideas, practices, and communities building a world that benefits all life.Learn more at RegenerativeCulture.LifeThanks for reading Regenerative Culture Chronicle!

Of course at face value that's amazing news! The problem is, he follows this up by saying that the United States will lead the digital economy worldwide and by doing that will shut down the "wild west" of cryptocurrency. So what does that mean? Due to constitutional law, there are serious problems bringing in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) at the moment. However, as the World Economic Forum has pushed and the current Trump administration has advocated, corporations will be used to sidestep such constitutional law. So while it may not be a "CBDC" like the other 197 countries worldwide going public with their digital economies, it will be just as nefarious. With Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claiming there won't be a CBDC, he mentions that he wants the United States to lead in digital currencies. He claims crypto is the "wild west" and therefor needs to be heavily regulated and controlled. That's centralization. So via the law, non-governmental digital currencies will be regulated (only with the permission of the companies behind them like Ripple/XRP). Meanwhile, X Money is being pushed by technocrat Elon Musk as the everything payment mechanism under the social credit system he calls X and the parent company Xai which has Pentagon contracts. Sam Altman is also pushing forward a digital ID system where he says he wants everything from food, water, shelter, finance, travel and more under the same digital roof based on rationed "allowances." He says people will buy electricity and water from him on a metered basis. This is what we've been warning of. Musk has openly said his X everything app will be like China's digital system including WeChat. Something else we've screamed from mountain tops for over a decade while people called us "black pilled." Musk says AI will destroy humanity and destroy most jobs but he's the number one person developing it. He also says you shouldn't worry about AI destroying employment because UBI (Universal Basic Income) will replace jobs so you will live at home doing nothing and in the future "poverty won't exist and you won't have to save money." This is the technocratic control mechanism. The World Economic Forum is pushing the EXACT same ideas forward as they build a new Tower Of Babel. They don't need mandates for digital IDs and digital currencies when you're coerced into using it like VISA and MasterCard. VISA by the way is in a partnership with X Money. How convenient.

Three books. Thirty years. One declassified CIA document.You've been awake for five years. Why does everything keep getting worse?In this episode, Dr. McFillin traces Robert Monroe's consciousness research, the U.S. military's 17-year remote viewing program, and the concept that explains why the "awake" community keeps losing: Loosh—an energetic harvest engineered to run on loneliness, fear, outrage, and resistance itself. The Krebs cycle. The dairy farm. We're not citizens. We're livestock.The way out is not resistance. It's a frequency the harvest cannot consume.Perfect love casts out fear.

In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with William Davis — leadership expert, speaker, mentor, and author with four decades of senior leadership experience across corporate, academic, military, and government environments. William unpacks the growing leadership crisis facing organizations today (78% of Americans say corporate America has a leadership problem), and why the $500+ billion spent annually on leadership development isn't moving the needle.The conversation explores the critical difference between being a boss, a manager, and a true leader — and why the companies winning the talent war are the ones investing in growth, trust, and human connection. William shares practical frameworks for explaining the "why" behind the work, building genuine relationships with your team, and making the mindset shift from doer to leader. If you're a SaaS founder trying to reduce turnover, increase engagement, and build a company people actually want to stay at, this episode is essential listening.Key Takeaways[0:24] — Jeff sets the stage: the difference between a boss and a leader is whether your team is quietly updating their LinkedIn profiles.[3:16] — William explains what drove him to dedicate his final career chapter to teaching leadership: a 2023 World Economic Forum report declaring a global leadership crisis, followed by a US News/Harris Poll showing 78% of Americans believe corporate America has a leadership problem.[5:53] — The clearest signal leadership is broken? Retention. People aren't leaving companies — they're leaving their managers.[7:07] — William's antidote to the job-hopping generation: explain the why behind every project. When people understand the purpose, they invest themselves creatively — and feel pride in the outcome.[9:20] — The boss vs. manager vs. leader distinction: managers get work from A to Z; leaders transcend self-interest and focus on building the next generation.[11:54] — True leadership in practice means giving your team the skeletal outline of where they want to go, then helping fill in the framework — even when that means redirecting them toward a better path.[14:45] — How to balance people development with number pressure: structure work so people can learn and deliver simultaneously. When you can't, give them space to re-energize — don't just drive them into the ground.[17:54] — Replacing a person costs ~50% more than their salary by the time you cover lost productivity, recruiting, and the new hire's learning curve.[22:26] — The biggest mindset shift for new leaders: your team is not your competition. Their success is your success. Stop micromanaging; start guiding.[27:25] — Why leaders who empower their teams often get questioned by executives above them: "What are YOU doing?" William's answer: "I'm leading my team. That IS my full-time job."[28:13] — "Leadership is deceptively simple. But simple doesn't mean easy — because you're dealing with people, and people are complex."[23:52] — The why is multi-tiered: it makes people feel trusted, invested, creative, and ultimately proud of their contribution.[33:58] — Why $566 billion in leadership training isn't fixing the crisis: programs focus on task management, not relationship-building. Leadership will always be about humans first.[38:15] — Building camaraderie remotely: William's team traveled 75% of the time and had dinner together every night — talking about family, kids, and vacations, not work. The result was next-level team cohesion.[40:35] — The Harvard adult development study data: having a best friend at work doesn't just help you — it boosts productivity across the people around you.[46:38] — What to do right now if you realize you've been managing instead of leading: find someone you trust and ask them to give you an honest outside perspective — then actually listen without getting defensive.[42:49] — Story of empathy in action: a high-performing team member started coming in late. Instead of disciplining her, William took her for coffee and discovered her mother was on hospice. He sent her home to work remotely until the situation resolved. Retention, loyalty, and culture all strengthened.[47:53] — The one leadership principle never to compromise on: always tell the truth. The first time you fudge it, you lose credibility — and credibility, once lost, is nearly impossible to recover.Tweetable Quotes"People don't leave companies. They leave their bosses, their managers, their leaders. That's a true statement." — William Davis"Leadership is deceptively simple. But simple doesn't mean easy — because you're dealing with people, and people are complex." — William Davis"When your team has success, that is a reflection on you. And in my opinion, it's a greater reflection than when you were doing the work yourself." — William Davis"Your team is not your competition. They are the greatest complement to your abilities as a leader." — William Davis"The why is a multi-tiered tool that helps people feel trusted, feel invested, feel creative — and at the end of the day, feel like they contributed to the success." — William Davis"Hire fast, fire fast — that's not leadership. That's ignorance and an inhuman way of dealing with people." — William Davis"I'm leading my team. That's my full-time job." — William Davis"The first time you're caught fudging the truth, you're going to lose credibility with your team. And once you lose it, the ability to get it back is almost impossible." — William DavisSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Explain the Why — Every Time Task-driven teams execute. Purpose-driven teams innovate. When your engineers, sales reps, and CS leads understand why a project matters — not just what they're building — they invest creativity, take ownership, and feel pride in the outcome. Make "here's why we're doing this" a non-negotiable part of every sprint kickoff and all-hands.2. Stop Micromanaging; Start Guiding The hardest shift for technical founders is letting go of the doing. When you moved from IC to founder/leader, your job changed — even if no one told you. Your team reads your micromanagement as a trust deficit, and it drives your best people out the door. Replace "let me show you" with "what are you thinking?" and give them the space to surprise you.3. Your Team's Success Is Your Score Card As a leader, the scoreboard isn't your personal output — it's your team's growth trajectory. If your A-players are getting better, shipping more, and staying longer, you're winning. Reframe your identity: you're not the best engineer or the best seller anymore. You're the coach. Tom Landry said it best: "The job of a football coach is to make men do what they don't want to do, in order to become what they've always wanted to be."4. Retention Is a Leadership KPI Replacing an employee costs roughly 50% more than their annual salary when you factor in lost productivity, recruitment, and ramp time. Every resignation is a data point about your leadership culture, not just the job market. Track retention with the same rigor you track ARR and churn — because they're connected.5. Relationships Are Not Soft — They're Strategic The Harvard adult development study shows that having a best friend at work correlates directly with engagement and productivity — not just for that person, but for the people around them. Building genuine relationships with your team (knowing their families, caring about their lives outside work) isn't a distraction from results. It is the result. It's what creates the psychological safety that allows people to raise problems early, collaborate honestly, and stay through hard stretches.6. Honesty Is the Foundation Everything Else Rests On You can be empathetic, visionary, and brilliant at developing people — but if your team catches you spinning the truth, even once, you've triggered a credibility collapse that's nearly impossible to reverse. Some will leave. Some will disengage. All of them will trust you less. Be transparent even when the news is bad. Frame it with a path forward. That's what leaders do.Guest Resourceswilliamcharlesdavis64@gmail.comhttps://www.williamcdavis.net/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573023334183https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamcharlesdavis/https://www.instagram.com/williamcharlesdavis64/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion...

As the World Economic Forum publishes its latest Chief Economists Outlook, Maersk's Head of Macro & Market Insights Ilaria Maselli gives her view on the state of the global economy. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, "the aorta of global fossil fuel trade", is one of the "biggest crises" in the history of capitalism, with huge implications for economies around the world, Maselli says. And we discuss how the impact of the Hormuz crisis compares to the shock that the COVID pandemic imposed on the world, in terms of economic growth and inflation.

Most leaders think they're doing fine. Their teams think otherwise. And that gap - hiding in plain sight across organizations everywhere - is exactly what my guest today has spent his career trying to close. David Grossman is one of America's foremost authorities on leadership and change communication inside organizations. He's a six-time author, and his latest book is The Heart Work of Modern Leadership: 6 Differentiators of Exceptional Leaders.David shares findings from a survey he conducted in partnership with Harris Poll to find out what 2,200 employed Americans thought of their leaders and what they revealed about the dangerous gap between how leaders see themselves and how their teams actually experience them. We get into the three gaps preventing good leaders from becoming exceptional, why the poker face problem is quietly undermining your credibility and connection, and why David pushes back on calling empathy a soft skill. He makes the case that empathy is actually an intelligence system, and we discuss why exceptional leaders blend both heart and head skills, how vulnerability builds trust in ways nothing else can, and that the most important leadership skill might be learning to hear what people aren't saying out loud.If you think you're a pretty good leader, this conversation is going to reveal how you can be an exceptional one.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…The three gaps that good leaders aren't thinking about but should be. The six differentiators of exceptional modern leaders.Why David wants to get rid of the term “soft skills” and start talking about the “human skills” necessary to be an exceptional leader.How to move past the Poker Face Problem. Modifying your leadership style to handle times of uncertainty. The advanced listening skills everyone should work on. "Part of our responsibility as leaders is to help create stability for our folks. We create that stability by being predictable, by leveraging these all-important heart skills as a means to get to results. I want to ensure leaders hear the need for balance between strategic thinking and empathy, or EQ - this is not an either/or proposition." — David Grossman About David Grossman, Founder and CEO, Author, The Heart Work of Modern Leadership:David Grossman is one of America's foremost authorities on leadership and change communication inside organizations.

Ghost and Colonel Towner Watkins deliver a sweeping two-host examination of Henry Kissinger, the man at the center of nearly every major globalist operation of the twentieth century. From his OSS Ritchie Boy origins and his CIA-funded Harvard institute to his dual role as national security adviser and secretary of state, Kissinger operated as the connective tissue between the Rockefellers, the Fabian Society, and the deep state apparatus. Ghost and the Colonel trace his fingerprints on the Chilean coup, the petrodollar deal, the Nixon-China opening, Operation Cyclone and the birth of Al Qaeda, the Iran-Iraq war arms sales, and the Khashoggi-Epstein money laundering network. They also connect Kissinger to the founding of the World Economic Forum, the Trilateral Commission, and the Pilgrim Society, the institutions now being dismantled by the Trump administration. A dense, interconnected deep dive into the architect of the rules-based international order.

"We don't live in a stable world anymore. We live in a rapidly changing, turbulent world. And in a dynamic environment, intelligence is not just your ability to think and learn, it's your capacity to rethink and unlearn."Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, podcaster, and author of the bestseller "Think Again", tells us why we are wrong in many of our assumptions about today's world, and why we would all benefit from tackling our own biases - not least the "I'm-not-biased" bias.And he explains why the wrong sorts of people too often get promoted or elected to positions of power.Adam spoke to Radio Davos at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland.Links:Think Again: https://adamgrant.net/book/think-again/Books Adam mentions:Factfulness: https://www.gapminder.org/factfulness-book/The Better Angels of Our Nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Better_Angels_of_Our_NatureNot the End of the World: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/145624737-not-the-end-of-the-worldReThinking is produced by Cosmic Standard.

What if many of the behaviors we dismiss as laziness or "not getting it together" are actually signs that someone's brain works differently? In this episode of Finding Brave, Kathy Caprino welcomes Kristen Pressner, a trailblazing people leader helping reshape conversations around neurodiversity, ADHD, and human potential. As Chief People Officer for prominent multinational, Nokia, Kristen is a sought-after voice on equity and inclusion and regularly appears on international "Top HR Influencer" lists. Following the global impact of her TEDx talk, Are you biased? I am, which challenged audiences to confront unconscious bias with greater honesty and self-awareness, Kristen returned to the TEDx stage with a new question: Why is it that so many people just 'can't get it together'? The talk explores how neurodivergent traits are often misunderstood and has sparked conversations across families, workplaces, and the ADHD community. It also led to Kristen joining the World Economic Forum's Global Brain Economy Initiative, launched at Davos. In this conversation, Kristen shares how her family's experiences with ADHD transformed the way she understands motivation, behavior, and potential. She explains why many neurodivergent traits are misunderstood as character flaws and how traditional expectations can unintentionally create shame. Kristen also unpacks the biological differences between neurotypical and ADHD brains, including the role dopamine plays in focus and action, and how to build neuro-inclusive workplaces that help people thrive. Additionally, Kristen highlights the extraordinary strengths that often accompany neurodivergence, from creativity and innovation to future thinking and problem-solving. Tune in for a powerful conversation about neurodiversity, leadership, and creating a more brain-friendly world!

 In a world increasingly driven by digital surveillance and fractured institutional trust, this gripping episode pulls back the curtain on the coordinated efforts reshaping American life. Patrick Hogarty, filling in for Joe, dissects a startling timeline of events—from World Economic Forum warnings on AI-driven totalitarian regimes to the aggressive hijacking of the public education system. By examining real-world battlegrounds, including shocking cases of censorship and ideological indoctrination inside Colorado's Jeffco Public Schools and Maine's high schools, Joe exposes the systematic playbook designed to silence dissenting voices, weaponize "equity," and dismantle traditional American values from the playground to the graduate stage.At the heart of this institutional decay lies the fundamental question of civic sovereignty: Are our leaders truly elected, or are they merely selected? Join Patrick for an exclusive interview with Peter Bernegger, President and Founder of Election Watch, Inc. Bernegger breaks down his team's latest data-driven investigations into massive voter roll discrepancies and the mathematically "impossible" campaign finance anomalies known as "smurfing." From the controversial legacy of the Tina Peters case to the legal warfare being waged against federal and state agencies, this segment delivers the hard evidence and boots-on-the-ground reality of the fight for absolute election integrity. Don't miss a single minute of this uncompromising expose—watch the full episode now and arm yourself with the facts they don't want you to see.

What if the most important leadership skill in the age of AI has nothing to do with technology? In this episode of WholeCEO with Lisa G., host Lisa G. sits down with globally recognized advisor Charlene Li—who has worked with 49 of the Fortune 100, spoken at the World Economic Forum, TED, and South by Southwest—to unpack what it really takes to win in an AI-driven world. Her latest book, Winning with AI: The 90-Day Blueprint for Success, challenges a common assumption at the top: that AI success is about tools. Instead, it's about leadership, behavior, and distinctly human capabilities. Together, they explore why most AI initiatives stall, why "pilot mode" has become a corporate trap, and why the real differentiator isn't technical sophistication—it's human clarity, courage, and decision-making. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why the leaders succeeding with AI aren't necessarily the ones with the best technology The human skills that become more valuable—not less—as AI handles more cognitive work Why so many organizations stay stuck in endless pilots that never scale What CEOs must do differently this week—not this quarter—to break through inertia If you're a leader wondering where you still add value in an AI-accelerated world, this conversation reframes the question entirely—and points you toward the answer.

How can you supercharge your creativity in an age when AI is reshaping everything — including how we write, edit, and market our books?

He hosts the SuperCreativity Podcast and his latest book is SuperCreativity: Augmenting Human Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Welcome to the show, James. James: Well, thank you for having me as a guest. I'm looking forward to this conversation today. Jo: It's going to be really good. First up— Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into writing and publishing. James: Well, today I'm a professional keynote speaker, so I deliver about fifty to a hundred keynotes per year in twenty-five-plus countries. Primarily I speak on creativity, innovation, and artificial intelligence. Go back into my deepest, darkest history—I actually used to manage rock stars. That was my old job. I used to be in the music industry for many, many years. I worked with members of The Rolling Stones, and for our listeners in the UK, I managed bands like Deacon Blue. Then I went to the dark side. In 2010, I moved to California to work in Silicon Valley, to work in the world of tech. That got me involved in artificial intelligence. Right about 2017, I was speaking at an event in San Francisco and someone came up to me and said, “You realise you could probably speak for a living, you could do this for a living.” So I thought, well, how does that work? And he told me. Then I embarked on the career that I have today, which is primarily as a speaker, with writing now coming a bit more to the fore. Jo: Wow, I remember Deacon Blue. James: Yes. Jo: “Dignity.” That's crazy. Very, very cool backstory there, but we'll come back to the career side of things. Let's get into super creativity, because my listeners are certainly creatives. Most of the listeners will have a book either on the way or they might even have lots of books. So we all do want to be super creative. How do you define creativity, and why is it important to keep focusing on this even if we do identify that way? James: For me, creativity is about bringing new ideas to the mind. Innovation is about bringing new ideas to the world, but without creativity, there is no innovation. So creativity is really the engine of innovation. Whether that is designing new products, new services, or creating new works of art and new books. The reason that creativity is becoming more important is because of what we're seeing right now in terms of artificial intelligence. AI is going to replace a lot of the non-creative tasks that we currently do in our jobs. If you look at things like the World Economic Forum, there was recently a study with a thousand global business leaders, and work from companies like LinkedIn—they all highlight that creativity is going to be one of the foremost important soft skills for this new future. So creativity, strangely, will actually become more important, not less important, as we go ahead. That's the creativity side. Probably for many of the listeners here, they'll consider themselves to be creative. That is not the norm. As I mentioned, I speak in about twenty-five countries a year, and if I ask the audiences—primarily corporate audiences—to put their hands up if they consider themselves to be creative, only between ten to forty per cent of the audience will raise their hands. So part of my job is to show them why they are more creative than they think they are and why we're all born with this creative potential. Then moving into the super creativity side, it's really to show them how they can augment that creativity by collaborating more deeply with other people or machines—things like artificial intelligence. So SuperCreativity, the book that I've written and the speeches I give on it, is really about how we can augment our individual creativity by collaborating more deeply with other people or artificial intelligence. For me, that's been the thing I've been fascinated by for the past few years, and probably for many of our listeners who are now using AI in their writing, their researching, and their marketing of their books, they're probably getting into this space as well. I really wanted to dive into that—both the collaboration with other people and with machines and AI. Jo: In terms of the super creativity then, do you have any practices or ideas? Before we get into collaboration, many of us authors work alone—and of course we can come back to the AI stuff in a minute—but in terms of super creativity, are there ways that we can even supercharge what we do already? Then, of course there are people listening who might not feel creative. So give us a few tips on how we can potentially change our mindset or become even more creative. James: In the book I talk about what I call the eight Ps of super creativity, which are purpose, personality, practice, people, process, place, product, and persuasion. Persuasion is really the marketing piece at the end. Probably the one that could be most useful to many listeners today is the practice piece—the practice or the process side of things. For many of us, what that usually consists of is just having some type of daily creative practice. Different people do it in different ways. Many of your listeners will know the works of people like Julia Cameron—the morning pages style of having some type of daily practice. Other people do it in slightly different ways. The process bit is really interesting. I talk about this creative process that we all have, and I talk about these five stages of the creative process. The first stage, let's say if we're writing a book, is really that preparation stage. That is usually the stage where we are trying to absorb as much information as possible about the thing that we're going to be writing about. The topic, if it's nonfiction, or going to the places, visiting the scenes that we're going to set certain things within for the book. So that preparation stage is really about absorbing as much information as possible from the outside. It's not going to look very creative. We're just absorbing at that stage. Now the mistake that a lot of people tend to make is they immediately try to jump from that preparation stage to looking to generate ideas. But what all the studies show us is we should spend a little bit of time in what we call the incubation stage. This is where it's often very useful if we've done some research, that we put things to one side for a little while, maybe a few weeks, move on to another project, think about something completely different. Your brain will continue to work in the background. Your unconscious brain will work on that content you've been absorbing. Then what often happens as a result of that is we come to this third stage, which is that insight stage—that aha moment. That happens for various different reasons and you can seed that in slightly different ways so you're more likely to get inspiration in your day-to-day work. Then as we know—as you are a writer of many, many books—many people think, “Well, that's it. I've done it. The idea for that book or that chapter has come to me.” That is really just the first five per cent of the process. The next stage is where we look at all the different ideas we have and decide which ones we want to pursue, which ones are going to make the grade. This is what we call the evaluation stage. Once we've done that, we move to that final stage, which is the elaboration stage. If it's a startup, this is when you're building your minimum viable product. As a writer, this is where you're actually doing the work, putting those words out onto the page. It's a very iterative process, so it's not necessarily linear. You'll go back and forth. Even as you're getting input from readers and audiences in that last stage, that is then giving you the material to move back to the preparation stage and think, “Oh, I wonder if this next book in this series, maybe I go in a slightly different direction with this character.” So each of those different stages, you can do different things to increase your levels of creativity. Jo: I love all of that, but can we go back to purpose? Because you mentioned that as one of the Ps and I think this is something that a lot of us need. As we are recording this in April 2026, the world is an interesting place. There are lots of things going on that have people worried. Well, we are not talking about politics, but I think one of the things that people struggle with is, what's the point in writing this story, for example, or what's the point in trying to get my words out there when things are difficult? I feel like coming back to purpose is perhaps the thing that helps people even take it into the process as you were talking about. And then of course, just from a practical angle— Is purpose about making money or reaching people? So maybe you could talk about the purpose side of things. James: Yes. So I talk about three different purposes, and it's not that there's just one that predominates, but usually there's one that maybe predominates on different projects. The first one is creativity as play. It's what we're basically, as humans, hardwired to do—this instinctive joy that we get just for creating for its own sake. There's nothing that really sits beyond that. We just have fun. We find pleasure in creating something. That could be a musician creating a piece of music, a sculptor creating a sculpture, an entrepreneur creating a new business or product or service. There's just this sense of play. One of the things I talk about in the book is this idea of being childlike, not childish. If you look at children, you see this very instinctively. If you see a three-year-old or a five-year-old, you give them some crayons and they will just naturally create. That's part of who they are and it's pretty abstract. Then what happens is they go to school and they're taught useful conventions—”this is how you should do it.” You even see their work start to change. You start to see them move from abstract paintings to more formal structures. Then you get your peer group, then you go to college or university and the world of work, and you're taught all these useful conventions. That's fine, but as adults, it is our responsibility to become what we call post-conventional, where we see these conventions as a useful signpost but we're willing to challenge them. We're willing to have a playfulness in what we do. So the first one is just this hardwired thing—creativity as play. The second one, and this is maybe for a lot of your listeners the reason that they are writers, is self-expression. It's a way of placing something out into the world. I was actually just in France recently, and I was talking to a young visual artist, a painter from Hungary, and she had to go up and give a speech. She really hated doing it. She was having to talk about her work and she was really uncomfortable. I could see the discomfort and my heart went out for her, because that is not the way she primarily expresses herself. She expresses herself through her art form, which is painting. For many of us, we might struggle to get on a stage, but we can express ourselves in the written word. We have something we want to say, a position we want to have, and we want to express that and get that out into the world. The final one is just this idea of legacy. That is not going to be for everyone. I can tell you, for me personally, legacy is not the reason that I write and do a lot of the stuff that I do. Maybe that changes—maybe as we get a bit older, we want to leave a body of work. So those are the three main purposes that we tend to see. Then you mentioned the financial side of what we do as well. This starts to come into that self-expression, because we need to be able to get people to buy our books or download our books and read our books in order to give us the ability to write new works and create new things. The financial side is an important component of it, but it is not the only one. I think there's a great question any writer should ask themselves. One of the first questions that I asked myself as a relatively new nonfiction writer is: why am I writing this book? What is the purpose of this book? For me, primarily it is a form of self-expression, and then you have to go, “Well, that's fine, but I also need it to have some type of financial basis for it.” It doesn't need to be the main driver of my income, but I need to have some type of revenue model. I'm happy to talk about revenue models, because probably the type of revenue model that I have as a writer is going to be different from other listeners. I tend to focus more on bulk selling of books rather than individual selling of books. Jo: Yes, I definitely want to come back to revenue models and business, but a few other things first. I want to circle back to collaboration, because I've certainly co-written with some humans, and I know a lot of listeners either have co-written or collaborated with other humans—and some of it works and some of it doesn't. You have some great information on human-plus-human creativity and collaboration. So maybe you could give us some tips on how we can be more effective collaborators with other humans. James: So there's a whole section about this idea of creative pairs. Often if you look at great creative work or innovative companies, very often when you strip it all back, you'll find at the core lots and lots of creative pairings. That is usually two different but complementary personalities who are willing to develop and challenge and improve each other's ideas. We think of Jobs and Wozniak in the world of business, or Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. For authors, often that relationship is the work with their editor. There was a documentary I saw—I think it was a New Yorker documentary that came out a while ago—talking with a writer of history books about his relationship with his editor. It was a really beautiful relationship. These were two very different personalities, but what worked was the fact that they were different. A core component of having these creative pairings is a sense of trust—or what some people today would call psychological safety—that you are willing to challenge someone's ideas, but in a space of trust. The Germans have a great phrase for it. In English it translates as “someone to steal horses with,” which I love. Hopefully our listeners have that person where you can go to them and say, “I had this idea for a book or a chapter or a character,” and that person is a “yes, and.” Like, “Yes, and have you thought about doing it this way?” or “What would happen if you did this?” They stress test your ideas. They make your ideas better. For many of us, maybe it's our husbands or wives, our partners. Some of us are lucky enough to have editors. When I started rewriting this latest book, I actually had someone like that—a human, not an AI—that I worked with, especially on taking all these random thoughts and ideas I've been expressing in keynotes and putting them into more of a book form. The format and the structures that we use for telling stories in a speech are quite different from the structure that we would use for a nonfiction book. I didn't have as much experience there, so I wanted someone who could say, “Have you thought about structuring it this way?” or “This is a great story arc you might want to think about.” So I don't know, for you, who is your creative pairing? Who is your “someone to steal horses with”? Jo: Well, it's funny. I really think since the arrival of Claude Opus 4.6, it is absolutely Claude. James: Yes, yes. Jo: All the way. I mean, so we could come onto that next in terms of how AI has changed, because I do still work with a professional editor for both fiction and nonfiction, but it is very much in the “make my finished work better” stage. It is not in the exploratory phase. I find particularly the latest reasoning models to just be fantastic at this. And my Claude is not sycophantic. The Opus 4.6—I'm sure you've been using it too—it just doesn't behave in the way that a lot of people think these AIs did. They did behave like that, and now it's changed. So let's talk about that. What are your thoughts on collaborating more effectively with AI tools, especially as they become more and more powerful? As we record this, Claude Mythos has not come out, but it's certainly rumoured to arrive. I'm pretty excited. James: So because I've been doing this AI thing for a little while, it's given me the ability to experiment with things—the early versions of what many people are using today. I'll give you an example. Even before I started writing the book, I decided to write a book proposal. Even though I could pretty much sense I wanted to independently publish this book through my own publishing company, I thought it's a good practice to put it down into a proposal form, even though I don't go to a traditional publisher or a hybrid publisher. One of the things I did within that was get a sense of who my ideal readers are. I used a very early version—this was a few years ago—of an IBM AI tool, creating what we call a psychometric map of my ideal reader. This basically tells me, over about seventy-two different factors, how this person thinks, how they feel, what their value system is, very broadly for my ideal reader. I pulled in different sources. I knew the kind of magazines and books they were reading and what their general worldview was. So I created this—going one step beyond just creating your ideal reader to really understanding their psychometrics. I do this in my keynotes too. Before I ever give a keynote or an important pitch or a presentation, I use AI to analyse the psychometrics of the audience I'm going to be speaking to. This might tell me, for example, this audience values humour a little bit more, or this audience values a bit more practicality so they want actionable next steps, or this audience is going to be a little bit authority-challenging so they're going to push back. So even in those very early stages, just starting to think about the book—who was I writing this book for, what was the purpose of the book—I was using AI to understand the psychometrics of my absolutely perfect, ideal reader. I gave her a name. It was a female reader. There was someone similar to her that I already knew. Probably for some of your listeners, they do this instinctively anyway. They maybe have a person or a few different people they think of in their head. Then from that stage, because I've been delivering lots and lots of keynotes—and this may be an important distinction in the way that I have decided to write books as opposed to how other people write books—my family were all jazz musicians. The difference between a rock musician or a pop musician and a jazz musician is this: a rock or pop musician will go into the studio, create this opus, this work, and then tour that for the next two years. A jazz musician, on the other hand, goes out and performs the songs and the things from the album that they're eventually going to create hundreds of times, thousands of times, to find out what works with audiences, and then they go into the studio and record the stuff that works best. So I created a book more like a jazz musician. I'd delivered keynote versions of the book hundreds of times before I ever decided to actually write the book. So it had been stress-tested with real people to a certain extent. Then, getting into it, I thought—well, what works as a keynote is not necessarily going to work as a structure for a book. So what I did was start using ChatGPT models at that point to think about the structural edit of the book. What was the structure going to be? What was great is you can basically feed it every single keynote you've given over the years, all the notes, everything you've done, and it could start to give me something to riff with and really get into thinking about how I was going to create this. I was using it a little like that creative pairing we spoke about earlier. Then once I'd done that—so I've now got an idea of a structural edit essentially—I then go back and speak to some humans about it. “What do you think about this?” “What do you think about that?” And try some things out over dinner conversations. “I'm thinking about doing this—what do you think?” Then once I did that, I just did the thing that I really didn't want to do, but I guess you absolutely have to do: sit in a seat for multiple weeks and just get that crappy first draft done. That was just me writing, from my voice, in my way of doing things. Every so often I would use an AI to research a particular thing, but I didn't want to slow down the pace too much. I was focused on getting that word count done. Once I had the first draft, I then brought the AI back in. In this case, I was still using OpenAI at this stage, to act more like an editor. To tell me what was weak about the book. At this point I was starting to give it the overall framing. What was weak, what chapters needed to be improved. I then went back, started reworking each of the chapters, and worked chapter by chapter using that AI as a sparring partner. But once again, the AI is not really writing my words for me. It's maybe saying, “This part could be said better. You might want to think about doing it this way,” or “You are missing a really powerful case study or example here,” or at the very end of each chapter, I have actionable next steps, and “You're missing some things here.” So I've gone through that entire process of writing, and now I'm essentially at the second draft. At this point, what I'm doing is using another AI tool—Claude, in this case—to have a different perspective on it. I gave it the work. I mentioned a couple of editors that I really respect and different writers I respect and said, “I'm going to create a virtual beta readers group. Give me feedback on this now.” For someone that's listening to this, and we're recording this in April 2026, here's some good news for you. There are now a bunch of tools out there that use AI swarms, as we call them. You can basically feed it your book and it will create synthetic readers—thousands and thousands of synthetic readers that read your kind of style of book—and it will then give you feedback from these synthetic readers. Essentially, I was just doing an early version of that. So I got the feedback from the synthetic readers, the AI readers, and then reworked a little bit. Some of the stuff I just decided not to do because it didn't align with what I was trying to say in the book. Then the next stage was I had a beta reader group of about thirty human beta readers—my ideal readers. I sent the book to them, they gave me feedback. I then used AI to give me an overview report of all their feedback, and then I was able to go back into reworking the book. That's still really just draft three of the book, not the final book at this stage. But just to give everyone a sense of opening up the process: you could see how the human and machine were working together. Jo: Yes, I love that. I also often say to people who are speakers first that you can, if you have recordings of your talks or if you use your slide decks to record them as MP3s and then just use that transcript as the basis of a draft. Obviously it's not the book or a chapter, but it can actually preserve your voice—your speaking voice—which I think can be really effective for speakers. I like your multi-step process there. And then of course, if you have audience avatars in AI, that can help you design your book marketing. So take this into book marketing and how you're doing that. James: So I still decided to go old school with a human editor—a book editor that someone had recommended to me. I used that human book editor just to go through the book. At that point we're talking about style, some stylistic things that we wanted to do, and they can pick up other things as well. So I've got that book, and then I'm obviously starting to use AI to understand what tags, what kind of copy do I want to have in terms of putting it onto Amazon, putting it onto IngramSpark, and all these other platforms I want to put it out into. I'm using Claude here in particular—and with Claude, you have something called Cowork. It wasn't quite fully happening at that point, but there were early versions of it and Claude Code—to almost start working with and creating a virtual marketing team. I give it the book and then they could start thinking about: what is the marketing strategy for this book? What does the campaign look like? What are the things that we need to do? That was then starting to break it down. We're now three months out or so before the book is due to get released, and I'm starting to deploy that particular campaign. So for example, I'm on a podcast right now, and we try different versions. We have a human going out and reaching out to potential shows for me to be a guest on, but I also have an agent. There's also one going out and finding and researching podcasts and reaching out to those podcast hosts to have me as a potential guest. So they're doing some of the tactical work there at the same time. One mistake I made—and I don't know if you've experienced this as well—if I was to go back, one thing I would do differently is this: I decided to record the audiobook version after the physical book was already committed and ready to go out. Jo: Mm-hmm. James: And I noticed so many small errors or things I would change after having spent two days in a studio recording the voice for the entire book—changes I would have made. This is something other people did ask me: why are you not using ElevenLabs or an AI clone of your voice to read the script? There are some things I feel quite personal about, and my voice is one of those things. As a professional keynote speaker, I decided I wanted to keep that and have it in there. So it's going to be different for everyone which things they decide to offload to AI, which things they decide to give to a human member of their team, and what they decide to keep to themselves. Jo: Yes, I mean, I human-record my nonfiction, but I have an AI voice clone with ElevenLabs for my fiction now. But obviously, for people listening, you can't put an ElevenLabs voice-cloned audiobook on Audible, and a lot of your sales will be on Audible, especially for a book like this. So I think that's also important. I agree with you on doing the audio edit. There's always things you want to change. But as you mentioned, you're self-publishing this, so you can just go in and change your files. James: Yes, and that was the other reason, and this was part of the marketing—now we're moving into the marketing and the business model behind the book. For me, the book doesn't have to be a financial driver in its own sense. The way that I sell books, and usually people like myself—professional speakers—is we bulk sell books to our clients. Let's say I'm speaking at four different events this month. Each has about a thousand people at them. Those organisers will buy, say, a thousand copies of the book. So at the end of that month, you might have sold four thousand copies—not individual copies. Anything that sells on Amazon or in other places is almost like a positioning piece. Obviously you want people to buy the book and learn things from the book, but in terms of the distribution model, it's slightly different because I'm primarily selling through bulk sales. Now, here's a little twist you can do on this, and this is a decision I made even before we released this version of the book. I speak to lots of different industries. There was a speaker and author—I've forgotten his name now, I think he was from Florida—and what he decided to do was to write a slightly different version of his main book every year, but for a different industry. So what this allows him to do is, let's say in my case, I'm doing a version of the SuperCreativity book just for legal professionals because I speak to a lot of law firms and legal groups. I've already started working on a version of the book which is a little bit more attuned to that audience. As a speaker, it allows me to go to all these law firms and legal associations and bar associations and say, “Hey, I've just written the book on creativity and artificial intelligence for the legal industry.” That makes you a very bookable proposition for a client. And then obviously you can sell books from that as well. And that's before we get into the foreign language versions. That's just a model that happens to work pretty well for my part of the industry, but obviously it's going to be very different for other types of authors. Jo: No, I think that's great. For nonfiction authors, as you say, there are different revenue models. Your income, I guess, would be what, eighty, ninety per cent speaking revenue? Or do you have other things as well? James: Yes, primarily it's the keynote speaking, and anything that comes from the back of that. Sometimes it's boardroom advisory work that I do as well. But primarily it's the speaking side. So really the book is just the simplest form to get my ideas out and the most affordable form. Jo: Mm-hmm. James: Because the other thing is, you want as many people getting your ideas as possible, and there is no better, more affordable way of getting someone's ideas out there than in the form of a book. I think it's just the most unbelievable transmitter of knowledge—a book. That's why I love to write the book as well. A lot of my friends say, “Listen, books are old hat. You don't need to do a book any more. You can do these other things, other forms, online courses.” I've done lots of online courses in the past and membership sites and all those things, but there's just something that is great about a book—to be able to summarise your ideas at a particular point in time. It's also a great transmitter of value to other people. And it is affordable. Any book, someone can download a book on Audible or wherever they want—that's just an affordable way of absorbing that content. Jo: Yes. Well, of course we are all fans of books here. I do speak—I don't tend to do keynote speaking. I do more content speaking at conferences. For people listening, keynote speaking is where you tend to get the higher revenue. So if people listening have books already—let's say they have nonfiction books or even fiction books that could be turned somehow into different topics—if people want to get booked for speaking gigs, preferably ones that pay— How would you recommend authors think about moving into speaking if that's something they want to do? James: So obviously it's much easier for nonfiction authors to do that. I mean, I'll give you an example. I was speaking at an event last week in New York for L'Oréal, the hair care and cosmetics company. They had six different speakers. One of them was a speaker on macroeconomics and geopolitics. Another was an expert on communications. Another was an expert on AI. Another was an expert on storytelling. So you have to think: does my topic have value for that type of audience—that corporate audience? An easy way of finding that is if you just go onto any of the speaker bureau websites, type in “speaker bureaus,” look for the speaker bureaus, and then type in your topic area—emotional intelligence or whatever the topic area is—and look at the other speakers. See if there is obviously a number of speakers talking on this area. Importantly, look at how busy they are and look at their fee levels as well. I did an online summit a few years ago called the International Speakers Summit, where I interviewed a hundred and fifty of the world's best professional keynote speakers. I interviewed Sally Hogshead, who's an author and a speaker, and she said to me, “James, you're going out speaking about creativity, but if you just twisted it a little bit and spoke more in terms of innovation rather than creativity, you would earn an extra five thousand dollars per keynote.” So creativity and innovation—an extra five thousand dollars. That's just a simple thing that, as you get to understand the industry, you learn. Then once you do that, it's like any business—you have to treat it like a business, obviously. What makes someone a great storyteller on stages is not the same as what makes a great storyteller on the written word. So depending on where you're at, you might need certain training and skills development. If you are listening to this from America, there are things like the National Speakers Association, the NSA. If you're living in the UK, the Professional Speakers Association. These are great ways just to develop your skill set and learn from other professional speakers. Here's the good news, I didn't know anything about professional speaking until 2017–18, and it was only from having a conversation with someone who said, “Listen, you have some original thoughts. You can get paid to speak about this on stage.” Then I spent the next year really researching and understanding and looking at how to do it and creating a minimum viable product—a speech—that was a very short period of time, a year. Most of the listeners here have gone through that process of writing a book, which takes many, many months. So you have the stamina to do this type of work. You just need to find out where you fit. I thought I was going to be a speaker in marketing. I thought that was going to be my thing. And it turns out that's not what the market wanted from me. They wanted me to talk about creativity and artificial intelligence. So you have to listen to the market, like you have to listen to your readers. Jo: Yes, I think that's really interesting. I was also a member of the PSA here, and I learned in Australia with the NSAA as it was. James: Yes. Jo: And that thing about who you speak to—I mainly speak to author conferences, who, I just want to be frank, don't pay very well, if at all. So exactly what you said there— If you want to be a highly paid speaker, you have to pick the audience who's going to pay, as well as a topic that works with them. It is a very different thing to writing a book, I think. James: It is a different model. This is what was interesting when I interviewed those hundred and fifty professional speakers—the thing that came back loud and clear is there is a model to suit everyone. Jo: Mm. James: So the model that works for me—getting paid high fees to go and travel around the world, speaking on stages to primarily corporate audiences—that is not the only model. There is another model, which is called the “sell from the stage” model, where you maybe don't get paid anything to go and speak on the stage, or very little, but what you're doing is you're selling your consulting, your online course, your books, your other products from the back of the stage. That's another model as well. I have friends who have young families and they are writers and they don't want to schlep on planes like I do. I know one speaker in particular who never leaves his own city. He is a very successful professional speaker. He happens to live in Orlando, Florida, which is one of the busiest cities for conferences. So literally, he's home with his kids every night. He gets to do all this cool stuff he wants. He never has to step on a plane if he doesn't want to. That just shows you the range. I remember I once interviewed a person whose title was a Buddhist monk, French speaker, and author. He figured out he could live very affordably by living in Thailand. So he lives in Thailand for part of the year and he's very into meditation, mindfulness, yoga, and writing. He figured out he only had to give two keynotes per year to pay for his entire lifestyle. That was it. So that gives him a lot of freedom. He does those two corporate keynotes a year and for the rest of the year he's doing his yoga, his meditation, his writing, and surfboarding, whatever he's into as well. So you can see there's a whole range of different ways you can design that life. Jo: Yes, we talk a lot about definition of success and it's great to hear those different examples. So before we finish up, I just want to come back to your journey into the writing side, into books and self-publishing. We all understand, me and the listeners, how hard it is to write a book and also to market a book, but we've got the bug. So we wonder: how much have you got the bug? Do you plan on doing more writing, more books, or do you still want to lean more heavily into speaking? James: Primarily the income for me will still come from speaking. I remember listening to Elizabeth Gilbert once when she talked about her writing. She said she always wanted to have other things, so she never had to push onto her writing that it had to be the income stream for her. If it was successful, great, that's fantastic. So I have a little bit of a similar view to that. In terms of my own writing, I've got about five different nonfiction book ideas I'm now looking at. Some of them relate to speeches that I already do. Some don't. I'm looking at different versions of the SuperCreativity book, so there'll be other versions coming out—different industries, different languages. That gives you a few years of work. The other side that I want to develop is the fiction writing side. I'm already starting to work on a fiction book at the moment—a little bit like this idea of one for them, one for me. Jo: Mm-hmm. James: So one for them is for the corporate audience, that world that I live in, and the other one is for me, for my own creativity. My hope—and I don't know, maybe we need to speak in a year's time when I've written and published it—is that by doing the fiction side, it will make me a better storyteller on stages as well for my corporate audience. It will help me understand story arcs, slightly different ways of expressing stories, building emotion, building the anti-hero characters within a book, for example. So I'm hoping that they both feed off each other. But we will see. Jo: Yes, we will. All the best with that. So where can people find you and your books and everything you do online? James: The easiest place to go is JamesTaylor.me, and you can find the book, which is called SuperCreativity, there. Or just go to wherever you buy your books—your local independent bookstore—and get a copy of SuperCreativity. The audiobook may already be out by the time you're listening to this as well. If you want to learn a little bit more, we also have a podcast called the SuperCreativity Podcast, where I interview lots of wonderful guests talking about this area of super creativity. Jo: Well, thanks so much for your time, James. That was brilliant. James: Thank you, Joanna. Thanks for having me as a guest on the show.The post SuperCreativity And KeyNote Speaking With A Non-Fiction Book With James Taylor first appeared on The Creative Penn.

In a world where global elites no longer hide their blueprint for control, today's broadcast pulls back the curtain on the multi-front war being waged against everyday Americans. Joe breaks down how the systems meant to protect us from a weaponized healthcare industry where having insurance inexplicably raises your costs, to a broken judiciary and managed elections are deliberately engineered to breed division while the powerful accumulate vast wealth and land. Zooming in on Colorado's recent Republican gubernatorial debate, the show exposes the localized fractures within the political establishment, confronting political grift and challenging the empty promises of compromised leaders who demand our compliance while driving the nation toward a boiling point.Turning from domestic frustration to shifting global paradigms, Joe has an exclusive interview with political intelligence and policy expert Mike Steger, co-founder of Promethean Action. Steger delivers a masterclass on economic diplomacy, exploring the deep intersection between domestic overhaul and foreign policy. The discussion untangles how dismantling the post-9/11 intelligence apparatus is a mandatory prerequisite for an American-led industrial resurgence, while analyzing the mechanics of a massive domestic nuclear expansion, aggressive trade maneuvers with China, and the reality of navigating a multi-polar, sovereign-nation model that could permanently break the old globalist order.Joe exposes a grim reality: the stage is actively being set for a societal breaking point. Through a sobering examination of a massive "learning recession," the show connects the dots between cratering literacy rates in hijacked public schools and the deliberate creation of a dependent, easily controlled generation. Combined with the unchecked rise of a real-time surveillance state, the economic strain of mass migration, and the Left's overt plans to enact radical, structural changes upon a return to power, the broadcast leaves viewers with an undeniable ultimatum. As the World Economic Forum's Agenda 2030 looms closer, this episode serves as a vital wake-up call for what it will truly take to survive and resist the encroachment on American liberty.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Microsoft — the $3 trillion incumbent whose entire investment thesis now hinges on two of the most contested questions in technology: whether AI will reinforce or quietly dismantle the software franchises that built the company, and whether the OpenAI partnership is the strategic masterstroke it appeared to be in 2023, or a relationship that is slowly turning from asset into liability.

Ladies & Gentlemen, on this special edition of The Right Side, Doug Billings reveals the big-picture story the mainstream media refuses to tell: President Trump is deliberately executing the true American Great Reset — the direct opposite of the globalists' dystopian “Great Reset” pushed by Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, Al Gore, King Charles, and the World Economic Forum.This episode breaks down how Trump's strategy of energy abundance, national sovereignty, and industrial revival is replacing the globalist agenda of scarcity, control, and “own nothing and be happy.” From record U.S. oil production exceeding Saudi Arabia and Russia combined, to the rebirth of the American System championed by Hamilton, Lincoln, and McKinley, Doug shows why American families are already winning with lower energy costs, stronger jobs, and renewed prosperity.You'll hear the historical perspective, the pocketbook victories, and the hopeful conservative vision that proves America is once again leading the world in freedom and opportunity.If you want analysis you can't get anywhere else, this is the episode for you.Subscribe, share, and stay on The Right Side — because the republic is fighting back!#America #GreatReset #Trump #EnergyDominance #WEF #KlausSchwab #DougBillings #USA #MAGA #fyp #TheRightSide #ConservativePodcast #PatriotPodcastSupport the show

The mask is slipping as globalist rhetoric from the World Economic Forum meets the cold, hard reality of American decline. When Yuval Noah Harari suggests the "vast majority" of the population is no longer needed, he's not just theorizing he's describing a blueprint currently in motion. This episode strips away the "conspiracy" label to reveal a calculated effort to hollow out the American middle class. We examine how a convergence of radical social engineering, declining national fertility rates, and a manufactured border crisis are working in tandem to replace critical thinkers with a dependent class, all while the nuclear family remains under a sustained, multi-front assault.We aren't just losing our culture, we are losing our future in the most literal sense. New data reveals that U.S. fertility rates have plummeted to record lows, yet 2023 saw nearly 10% of all births in the United States coming from illegal immigrant mothers—roughly 320,000 in a single year. While American citizens faced job losses and mandates, a parallel system was established for millions of unchecked, unvaccinated newcomers. With illegal alien households utilizing welfare at a staggering 59% rate compared to 39% for U.S.-born households, the economic toll is no longer a matter of debate, it is a mathematical certainty of systemic exhaustion and entitlement.Colorado has become ground zero for the hijacking of the American Republic. From the ongoing legal persecution of Tina Peters whose nine-year sentence was recently overturned by an appeals court citing a violation of her free speech to the "shadow boxing" happening in the Republican gubernatorial primary, the corruption is absolute. We dive into the latest developments in the Victor Marx campaign, questioning why a candidate continues to dodge public debates and unscripted comments. Is Colorado a lost cause, or is the exposure of pariahs like Matt Crane the first step in taking the state back? Attorney Stephanie Lambert joins us to break down the documents the "Special Master" doesn't want you to see.
