October 09 Busting Management Myths with Henry Mintzberg
In this episode, Jonathan Brown welcomes back Henry Mintzberg to unpack the biggest myths in management and leadership. Drawing on decades of observation and the ideas behind "Bust Those Management Myths", he challenges popular assumptions about what managers do, why leadership gets over-glorified, and how business schools, buzzwords and management fashions can distort the real work of organising people.

The discussion also explores why serendipity matters, what remote work can’t fully replace, why AI should be approached with caution rather than hype and how "people disconnect" sits at the centre of so many management failures.

September 25 The Coming 2026 Crash And How Citizen's Dividend Tells You What's Going On with Phil Anderson
In this special episode, Jonathan Brown sits down with Phil Anderson to revisit the ideas behind The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking and discuss why 2026 has long been a key date in his forecasting. Phil explains how long-term real estate cycles, commodity cycles, interest rates, and geopolitical conflict can line up to create major turning points in the global economy. Phil also promotes the idea of a Citizen’s Dividend. A system in which the value society creates ultimately flows into land, and if those land earnings were shared more fairly, communities could reduce inequality, stabilise the economy, and even replace many existing taxes.

September 11 Why Economics Forgot About Human Nature with Ian Mason
In this episode of the Shepheard Walwyn Podcast, we’re joined by Ian Mason — barrister, former principal of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science, and author of Economics Live. Ian reflects on the path that took him from Scotland to London, from insurance into law, and from legal practice into a much deeper inquiry into economics, justice, human nature, and the common good.

From property law and land value to environmental responsibility, future generations, and the practical value of philosophy in everyday life. Ian shares why he believes we should value our contribution, give more than we take, and leave things as good or better than we found them.

July 17 Conversations With An Economic Hitman with John Perkins
In this special episode, Shepheard-Walwyn host Jonathan Brown sits down with John Perkins, a former Economic Hitman and gets the conversation going by breaking down the political system of our generation. The four pillars of that system: fear, debt, scarcity, and divide-and-conquer- show how political messaging can be engineered to keep populations anxious, dependent, and easy to manipulate.

John explains how debt can be used as a tool of control, why GDP can be misleading as a measure of prosperity, how patronage and corruption are normalised, and how international arrangements like the Saudi petrodollar system were structured to keep wealth and power flowing in one direction. He argues that real change starts by changing perception, stepping beyond fear, and asking better questions about work, value, and the kind of future we want to build.

June 05 Making Ecocide an International Crime with Jojo Mehta
The biggest legal gap in history isn't about human rights, but the rights of the Earth itself.
In this episode, Shepheard-Walwyn host Jonathan Brown sits down with Jojo Mehta, co-founder of Stop Ecocide International, to celebrate the life and legacy of the late Polly Higgins, the barrister who gave up her career and sold her home to become a lawyer for the planet.
Polly believed that ecocide, mass destruction of the natural world, deserved a place alongside genocide and war crimes as an international crime. Polly's vision is now a global legal movement reshaping international law.
Jojo reveals how this movement has grown from grassroots activism to UN diplomacy, why some of the world's smallest nations are leading the charge, and how Polly's final book, Dare to Be Great, challenges every one of us to find our unique purpose and use it.
