Cheryl Esposito welcomes Rinaldo Brutoco, Founding President of World Business Academy, a nonprofit think tank focused on roles & responsibility of business in relation to humanities challenges - moral, environmental & social. Rinaldo Brutoco is certain: business for good doesn't require sacrificing profit. He says core thinking about business must evolve, beginning with shifting consciousness of 1) business leaders: because you act differently if you think you are responsible for the result; 2) young people going into business: because you act differently in the temple than you do in the jungle; & 3) how the public votes with its dollars - putting its money where its values are: because when the public does this, business will immediately shift in response. “Well. Isn’t that special? Tell it to the stockholders.” And that is exactly what Rinaldo Brutoco is doing. Join Cheryl Esposito with Rinaldo Brutoco to vision business as a partner in making the world a better place for all.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Peter Wrycza, founder of the Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness in Bali. Peter says: “In 1995 I stood in a grove of clove trees overlooking a river in a serene valley between the sea and the mountains and realized that this was my moment of choice. I could stick with my familiar work and territory in Europe. Or I could take the risk of buying land in a far-off place, and create a centre for people to connect with the core of their life.” Balinese philosophy emphasizes harmony between one's own 'small world' and the wider world around us. Perfect for the transformational experience offered here for those in search of renewal and inspiration for life and purpose.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Carter Phipps, author, journalist, & thought leader focused on understanding how worldviews form & human culture evolves. Carter’s book, Evolutionaries:Unlocking the Spiritual & Cultural Potential of Science’s Greatest Idea, reveals visionary scientists, philosophers & spiritual thinkers forging a new understanding of evolution - yes, that evolution. Over the centuries three major worldviews have evolved - Traditional, Modernist, & Postmodern - & they often collide. Cultural & political polarization has us alternating between naïve idealism & cynical pessimism. If you think the only way out of this mess is a cultural revolution, step back & appreciate our history of cultural evolution. We appear to be birthing the next worldview that will shape the future. You may think your own worldview is based on knowledge & experiences...in fact, there is so much more to the story! Join Cheryl Esposito with Carter Phipps to begin your inquiry into “Why do I think that?”
