How can organisations ensure their kaupapa is aligned with the interests of their stakeholders, their employees, whānau, customers, and investors, and vice versa?

In this episode, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Samuel Mann from Sustainable Lens. What's that I hear you cry?!

Imagine you had a pair of glasses that had a sustainability mode.   This mode meant that you looked at the world through a “sustainable lens”.   What would you see?  These lenses wouldn’t merely be green-tinted glasses like the ones from the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz.  Instead, think about the analytical eyes of the Predators (robots) in the Terminator movies.  These eyes scan the landscape, identifying threats, analysing options and proposing actions.

Now, think about the sustainable lens on radio…

Each week Shane Gallagher and Samuel Mann take a sustainable perspective on current topics in the world around us. These regular features are aimed at drawing out connections to lead into an extended discussion with invited guests.

They are building up a searchable archive of conversations with people from many different fields who are applying their skills to a sustainable future. In these conversations, they try to find out what motivates them and what it means to see the world through a sustainable perspective, through their sustainable lens.

The podcast and live broadcast is available on Otago Access Radio (Thursday NZ  7-8pm 105.4FM/1575AM in Dunedin).  They’re also on facebook, and flickr, and iTunes.

In this chat I talk to Samuel about how I realised that the credo statements on the walls of many businesses are a complete lie – they claim values based on people, but really, its about profit. We also talk about my “purpose journey” of discovering what companies (and the people who make them) can contribute and how purpose brings a sense of optimism, and reveals who you really are.

They always said the revolution wouldn't be televised but perhaps the new Renaissance could be de-centrally live streamed. That is what this weeks guest is working towards. 

Rieke Cordon is all about creating a regenerative and financially rewarding solution for the current systemic crises by merging financial and social technology with blockchain capability! And he's got there by a pretty interesting journey. 

A former Mormon who moved away from a strict religious upbringing by doing the obvious act of rebellion - joining the US Marines! It was whilst on Embassy Guard detail that he started to put some pieces of the systemic puzzle together and began to question his role in that system.  

Exiting that world into the world of permaculture in Central America followed by some travels around the world including Aotearoa where we first met, he's now on a mission to build a new way for humanity to thrive through the SEEDS platform. 

SEEDS is a digital currency and financial system that serves, rewards and finances the people and organisations committed to creating a healthier and more equitable planet.  

Sit back, relax and tune in as we talk about that and fasting, ancient breathing techniques, identity, finding purpose through a crisis, the importance of rights of passage for men and much more!

Sit back, relax and tune in as we talk about the need for approval and how that's gonna send you on the wrong life path. How to get out of living for the weekends and the if-then life that goes with it and the ensuing affliction of destination addiction.
