What if businesses were designed to maximize impact — not just profits?

March 10, 2025 The art of marketing — for good | Raja Rajamannar
Can marketing transcend traditional business goals and actually be a force for good?

February 24, 2025 Why don’t companies want you to repair your stuff? | Aaron Perzanowski
Today, some companies are working hard to prevent consumers from repairing products on their own. In many cases, repair can only be done by the original manufacturer, if at all. With limited repair options available, we end up buying new and throwing more items out. So, how exactly do companies prevent repair? And what can consumers do about it? Aaron Perzanowski investigates. [Directed by Nick Hilditch, narrated by Addison Anderson].

After the talk, Modupe focuses on the term "planned obsolete" and why you should advocate for more transparent repair options.

February 17, 2025 Why you should get good at being bad | Fixable
This is an episode of Fixable, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective.

Sometimes the only way to win is by finding the courage to lose. This week on Fixable, Anne and Frances want you to “dare to be bad” in order to free up capacity to excel at more important things. They share insight on the power of strategic “no”s, the value of ruthless prioritization, and how Steve Jobs and Apple delivered breakthrough innovation by strategically underperforming. Frances explains why you can’t always trust your own instincts, and Anne reflects on the lessons she learned in her early days of parenting.

What problems are you dealing with at work? Text or call 234-FIXABLE or email [email protected] to be featured on the show.
