World of Wisdom

Adam Purvis (LI) of Dark Matter Labs and Jenny Grettve (LI) of EIT Culture and Creativity, artist and creative joined me for a roundtable conversation about institutions and their transformation. We spoke of power and what it takes to shift. Language - when the complexity serves us and when it gets in the way. We spoke of institutions, their development and the move away from care. We spoke of institutions as certainty artefacts and the fact that they will likely have to become learning artefacts. We spoke of the newly coined term Extetutions. Enjoy! And if you're curious to find out more about the talk that sparked the conversation you can find it here.

David Ekelund the co-CEO and founder of Icebug came on the podcast (LI) and we spoke about what it is to run a company that does not consider itself sustainable but that is acting for increasing thriving and contributing positively to the world. We speak of Icebugs journey to where they are today, how they work with people and supplychains. Their approach to value distribution as well as how they think about cost. This is an inspiring conversation drawing from 25 years of experience in running a company with a regenerative posture. Enjoy!

Camille Accolas (Founder of TrustExchange, LinkedInCamille Accolas (Founder of ⁠TrustExchange⁠, ⁠LinkedIn⁠) came on the podcast and we spoke about trust and what becomes possible when we're allowed to show up as full pepole. We spoke of Camilles past in sustainability and biodiversity and how even there being able to bring people together and create containers was key to driving change. What happens when we turn the tables and change the rules of engagement between eg. VCs and Startups? How working with tangible things are more difficult to scale but easier to grasop. How we are worth more as humans than our last paycheck and how creating spaces full of presence with a clear intention has the potential to make us remember. This is a lovely convo. Check out Camilles work and enjoy!

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.
