What if the most powerful untapped resource in the world isn’t technology—but the wisdom of everyday people?

In this thought-provoking episode of the ‘Portfolio Executive’ hosts Gareth Wax and Valerie Merrill sit down with Rhonda L. Bowen to explore the vision behind the Midwise Alliance—a groundbreaking platform designed to empower what she calls the “middle society.”

Rhonda shares how this often-overlooked group holds immense untapped wisdom that could reshape global innovation, business, and collaboration. We dive into how digital tools like Estonia’s e-residency are opening doors for global entrepreneurship, and how emerging technologies like AI and blockchain are reshaping the future of work and participation.

This conversation challenges traditional hierarchies and explores a more inclusive, collaborative future—where diverse voices and lived experience are not just valued, but essential.

You’ll Discover:

•          Why the “middle society” may be the missing link in solving global challenges

•          How the Midwise Alliance is creating space for shared wisdom and co-creation

•          The real opportunity behind Estonia’s e-residency for global entrepreneurs

•          How AI is both a powerful tool and a potential risk—and how to navigate both sides

•          Why age is no barrier to entering the digital economy

•          The role of blockchain and token economies in creating fairer global systems

•          How diverse perspectives lead to better, more sustainable innovation

•          “AI has two sides: creation and destruction.”

•          “Age is no barrier to digital entrepreneurship.”
