The Rubicon Challenge

Today we’re going to have a conversation with  Will Sarni, who is working with us at the Rubicon Challenge this year as we strive to raise awareness about water and sanitation and how we can have a more sustainable relationship with preservation and conservation of water. Will Sarni is a renowned global expert on water and works hard to help companies to be more careful with water through his company WATER FOUNDRY. Enjoy!

Blurb : We are soooo happy to have our favourite educator back on the show, Richard Gerver! Last tima we talked a lot about curiosity, learning and imagination, and this time we wanted to go a little deeper and have a conversation about the connection between education and the future of democracy. Please join us and I hope you enjoy it!

Blurb: So the countdown has started, and we thought we'd give you some ideas for gifts for yourself or others. We love books, and in this short episode Anna will share some of her favourite reads with you.

 

Books mentioned:

Sue Monk Kidd - The invention of wings

Today we're diving head first into a wild conversations with Alexander Freudenthal about curiosity, how our relationship with curiosity will shape our lives, why it can sometimes be embarrasing and also some ponderings about society as a structural hinder to being curious. And a few words about running. Please join us.

Ok, so the Rubicon Challenge is all about water this year, as our goal is to create awareness about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. So, to help us do that we have reached out to various water specialists all around to share their insights and knowledge about how we can use water smarter and better and also treat it as the precious and finite resource that it is. Today I'm talking to David Grant, who is the Sustainability Director of Global Water Stewardship at PepsiCo. David is an amazing human being who is radically passionate about water and he gives some clear insights as to what lies ahead and what we as consumers can do to protect water resources.

 

The book David mentions at the end is: "Born to run", by Christopher McDougall. We both loved that book.

Blurb: Today we're having a conversation with former creative director at Apple, Ken Segall. We take a deep dive into his thoughts on simplicity as a frame of mind in all aspects of life, what working with Steve Jobs was like, and we have some fun along the way - we hope you enjoy it.

 

Kens books are:

Insanely simple - the obsession that drives Apples success

Think simple: how smart leaders defeat complexity

Blurb: This week we felt we had to comment on the ongoing election, it felt weird not to. The ongoing election and its eventual outcome will surely affect all of us somehow. This podcast is produced in Sweden and the opinions expressed here are from a side line point of view. This is just the three of us having a conversation as to where we are, what this might mean, having a laugh,  and occasional wanderings into more philosophical questions.

Blurb: Join us for a conversation with AN ACTUAL ULTRA RUNNER!! Yes, for our twelfth episode for this podcast, we thought it was about time to start to talk about running. Markus Forsström is a dear friend who came in to running rather kicking and screaming, and found something there about himself. I hope you enjoy this conversation, and as always - these conversations are unedited and raw, just regular people talking

 

Markus will come back on the podcast in a few months, if you have any questions for him please email me at [email protected].

Today we'll get into a quick chat with our co-founder Trevor O'Rourke about the future of work and how that question ties in with what we want to do with The Rubicon Challenge. The main idea behind the Rubicon is to create a framework to realize dormant capabilities and power, which we believe to be a crucial part of moving forward in all parts of society. And give us a shout if you have questions or thoughts on this, you'll find us at www.therubiconchallenge.org.
