Larissa Conte (LinkedIn) and I spoke about the work she's been doing on power. We spoke about wattage. The notion that power is an experience not a thought. That we are afraid of power and what we may do with it. We spoke of shadow power: over and the one we give away, as well as the power that serves the whole. Larissas work with heart centered leaders was the backbone of this conversation. It is a primer to a different way of thinking about power as: the capacity to move energy through systems. We spoke of how power shows up when we are willing and able to deal with it and when we are not, and we finished by speaking about what all this has to do with business 3.0. This is a joyful, deep and hands on conversation that will give the listener not just food for thought but also a viseral experience of what power may feel like.

It's absolutely excellent. We also speak of why investment is a creation of reality, of the dangers of financial and real economy living in separate realities and why it is (perhaps more than ever) important to find ways to go against the market norm.

This conversation with Dave Snowden (LI) and founder of the Cynefin Co came on the podcast and we spoke of complexity. Discerning it from systems thinking, why he's been so critical of the inner development goals, getting the critique on experts right. We spoke of change, direction, working with the substrate. Why workshops are suboptimal or even damaging, why practice is what makes perfect. We spoke about waymaking, micro-empathic moments. We spoke of agency, affordance and assemblage, patterns over precision and much much more. This conversation is an excellent primer for those curious about complexity as well as those that consider themselves well versed. We speak of the fundamentals and the essentials in very practical ways. Enjoy!

Mari Granström (LI) founder and CEO of Origin by Ocean. We spoke of the chemicals industry and why it's so integral to everything that we do, how it can and probably will become a part of the solution going forward. We spoke of what it takes to actually recreate supply chains that are healthier where social , environmental and financial benefit are co-consequences. We also spoke of why single focus on carbon is detrimental for driving healthy change. This is a very hands on, conversation that highlights very tangible transformation of a supply chain and beyond. Enjoy!

The importance of looking at ones own relationship with wealth, and the communication that may open up if we start caring for money in different ways.
