My guest today is impact investor and serial-entrepreneur Tess Mateo, who has made her mission in life to accelerate women empowerment globally through the Equality Moonshot initiative. Tess derives her prowess from two decades of corporate restructuring and turnaround expertise as well as from her advisory experience with the United Nations on Gender and Climate, and the Word Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), World Economic Forum, and many others.

In this interview, we address questions such as:
·      Why are governments and corporations now seeking to source from women vendors?
·      What are the unique values that women-owned businesses bring to the table that traditional businesses cannot?
·      How do female entrepreneurs accelerate sustainable development?
·      How can the private and public sectors help women-owned businesses scale fast?

Tess Mateo | Women Hold Half the Sky, but not the Wealth! (#68)

What exactly is value? 
Obviously, we associate value with what we value personally but also with what is valued in our own culture and social environment, including ethics and morals. 
As we awaken to the importance of values, we see not only how the success of our business depends on them but also our future.

Money Speaks
The financial information tends to be a good way to convince people empirically of the value investing approach, aka Conscious Capitalism. 
Research shows that corporations with a culture based on sustainability and higher ethical values have also performed well financially—on average, eight times better than S&P 500 companies. 
The Conscious Capitalism movement, started in 2005 by John Mackey, who founded U.S. food retailer Whole Foods, is one manifestation of this trend. Under the leadership of Mackey, Whole Foods had a 40 percent higher ROI than other types of organizations over a period of 10 years. 
The shareholder value for investors in Whole Foods, which was sold to Amazon in 2017 for US$ 13.7 billion, grew between 1995 and 2006 to more than 1800%.

What are the value characteristics of a conscious capitalist company?
Companies such as Whole Foods, Stoneyfield Farms, REI, or Puma are financially successful also because, according to research, they cultivate values such as trust, integrity, transparency, caring, passion, and fun in addition to love, interdependence, loyalty, and the feeling of oneness. 
More importantly, these companies are led by conscious leaders such as Whole Foods founder and self-identified integral thinker, John Mackey.
This is why, it is with great pleasure that I present to you in today’s podcast episode, Carter Phipps. 
Together with Whole Foods founder John Mackey, and Steve McIntosh, Carter is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Conscious Leadership. 
Carter Phipps is an integral thinker, a visionary writer, a business futurist, and evolutionary. He is the author of the book Evolutionaries: Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science’s Greatest Idea and co-founder of the Institute for Cultural Evolution.

Conscious Leadership and the Mindshift
In this podcast episode, Carter reveals the leadership characteristics of a conscious capitalist such as Whole Foods founder John Mackey and provides a roadmap for what it means to be a value-based entrepreneur and a business innovator that contributes to the great mindshift.
He challenges conventional business practices to rethink outdated standards and shows what it means to embark on a life-long personal growth journey that leads to self-actualization, outgrowing one shadows, and living a life of purpose.

Carter Phipps | Conscious Leadership and then What? (#67)

Addressing the Sensemaking Crisis: The Consilience Project with Daniel Schmachtenberger

As far as I am concerned, Daniel Schmachtenberger ("The War on Sensemaking") is one of the most brilliant thinkers on the planet today. He is a founding member at The Consilience Project, an organization that is focused on making accurate sense of current planetary developments with the intention to prevent global catastrophic risk.

In this podcast, Daniel and I discuss a wide range of topics including the following:
* What kind of thinking do we need to better understand and address current existential problems?
* What have all these problems in common and how can we address them better?
* Which powers are currently ruling the world and why none of them is democratic?
* What is radical fragility and why is GDP a dreadful metric? What metric is better?
* Are we currently fighting World War III ?
* Are you curious yet?

Daniel Schmachtenberger | Are We Currently Fighting World War III? (#71)

How Practical is Sustainability?

While several governments have launched their new green deals to implement the Paris Accord and the UN Agenda 2030, Corey Glickman and Jeff Kavanaugh have provided a timely, much-needed, and actionable guide on how to make it happen. It is called "Practical Sustainability: Circular commerce, smarter spaces, and happier humans" and is a well-researched and science-based handbook that shows in detail how to achieve environmental targets and carbon neutrality through circular commerce and exponential technologies across industries including smart cities. 
This book should be required reading for anyone involved with sustainability, intelligent buildings, and supply chains, because it is illustrating how technology combined with physical environments can elevate human potential while ushering in a greener, more prosperous future. 

And this is why, I have the great pleasure to present to you my recent interview with the authors Corey Glickman and Jeff Kavanaugh. 

Named among the top 100 influential designers of the decade, Corey Glickman is VP of Sustainability, Smart Spaces, and Strategic Design at Infosys. He is a member of MIT's Global Technology Advisory Board and faculty expert guest lecturer with Singularity University. 
Jeff Kavanaugh is adjunct Professor at the Jindal School of Management at the University of Texas at Dallas and Vice President and head of the Infosys Knowledge Institute, the research and thought leadership arm of Infosys. 

In this interview, they take us through the most important topics of their latest book, Practical Sustainability, including the following:
• How can we reduce 40%, of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the construction operation of buildings including circular supply chains
• How to apply circular economy thinking within the built environment in smarter spaces including commercial ones?
• What is the definition of sustainability and circular economy within the context of digitalization - and why Spiral Economy would by a better term than circular economy?
• What is the role of mindshift?
• Where and how can we implement Practical Sustainability and how to make it financially feasible too?
• Decarbonization of energy through new kinds of energy transmission 
• Sustainable cities, population shifts, reconstruction or reestablishment of existing infrastructures, architecture, design & build, future proof, Artificial Intelligence, and other great opportunities

Corey Glickman, Jeff Kavanaugh | Practical Sustainability (#72)

Abundant clean energy is central to the decarbonization of the global economy. Yet, the production of wind, solar and geothermal power, as well as energy storage requires massive amounts of natural resources such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper, to name a few. The best land ores are already being mined from rainforests and pristine landscapes and generate large toxic waste.
 
The question is: How can humanity close the natural resource gap to achieve the transition to clean energy by 2050?
 
To address this question, I have invited:

Gerard Barron, the CEO and Founder of The Metals Company, that will enable the battery-powered shift to clean energy and electric vehicles "with the lightest planetary touch". Gerard is a builder of global companies in battery technology, media, and future-oriented resource development, and on a mission to help transition Earth away from fossil fuels and toward a circular-resource economy.

And Daniel Schmachtenberger the Founder of the Civilization Research Initiative and its publication, the Consilience Project . Daniel is recognized as a deep thinker on the topics of catastrophic risks and has made novel contributions to the field in terms of theoretical insights on how to address issues of exponential technology, planetary boundaries, and coordination challenges. He also helps advise strategy on applied initiatives towards these goals.
 
My co-interviewer is systems scientist and futurist Dr. Anneloes Smitsman.

In this interview, we discuss:
2:52 Meta Crisis, catastrophic and existential risks, planetary boundaries, exponential tech, nuclear tech, environmental crisis, pollution, materials economy, AI, nano tech
16:32 IEA, 600% more metals needed for circularity, the energy needs for the transition to carbon neutrality
19:37 abyssal zone, nodules, robot on the ocean floor, polymetallic nodules, key metals for energy transition, low bio diversity, deep ocean mining, International Seabed Authority, mitigating the plume, no waste, real game changer for the mining and metals industry, environmental impact study, biodiversity
25:45 peer reviewed journals showed that you can reduce CO2 emissions by more than 90% when you build a battery cathode using these rocks compared to the land-based alternatives, 90% less freshwater when we process nodules compared to land-based ores, nickel, Convention of the Law of the Sea
33:07 Strict regulation, Corporate sustainability, noise regulation
37:42 University of Hawaii, National Oceanography Center, Great Barrier Reef
41:13 toxic waste product, mining, tropical rainforests, fracking, tar sands, meta-analysis on biodiversity metrics
52:22 NASDAQ TMC, The Metals Company
1:13:41 tradeoffs between surface mining and alternative energy storage technologies, how to create a closed loop material economy

Open Ocean Mining and Decarbonization (Bozesan, Schmachtenberger, Barron, Smitsman)

Vor 13 Jahren fand die erste Ausgabe von Friedman im Gespräch statt. In einer Sonderausgabe zur Bar Mizwa der Reihe befragt der Pianist Igor Levit zur Abwechslung Michel Friedman und diskutiert mit ihm, was es bedeutet Mensch zu sein. Ist der Mensch des Menschen Wolf? Was bedeutet Brechts, der Mensch sei des Menschen Schicksal? Dürfen wir auf Andere hoffen? Auf Solidarität? Auf Gemeinschaft? Gemeinschaft mit und vor allem ohne wen? Wieviel Harmonie zwischen Menschen ist möglich? Wieviel Streit nötig?

Levit im Gespräch: Menschen - mit Michel Friedman

John Perkins | Confessions of an Economic Hitman regarding Investing (#1)

In this philosophically daring podcast, Dr. Joscha Bach addresses several important questions related to our understanding of who we are as human beings and how this understanding informs the AI systems we are currently developing. He challenges the widely accepted null hypothesis that humans are the most super natural beings in the Universe. As a consequence, we seem reluctant to accept what Joscha calls “the reasonable certainly that we are machines".
