What if the way we do finance was the real Greenwashing? What if a New Economy IS possible?
In this episode of "Be & Think in the House of Trust", I am listening to Dr Melanie Rieback CEO/Co-founder of Radically Open Security (the world's first not-for-profit computer security company), and "Post Growth" startup incubator Nonprofit Ventures.
An accomplished academic, Melanie lectures on Post-Growth Entrepreneurship at the Free University of Amsterdam, where she also was Assistant Professor of Computer Science.
Melanie reflects and challenges the traditional norms of the finance industry and calls for a paradigm shift towards non-extractive and sustainable investment practices.
She discusses the need for fund managers to adopt steward ownership, focus on long-term thinking and derisked returns.
She emphasizes the importance of reducing conflicts of interest, reforming compensation structures, and encouraging diversity of thought in boardrooms.
She calls for changes to support smaller pioneering fund managers who really believe in non-extractive models.
Melanie's thought-provoking ideas and practical models serve as a call to action for investors to step up and address the systemic challenges we face.
And her cat - our impromptu guest - agrees wholeheartedly!

Dear Impact leader! Can you be curious, hopeful, cynical, and angry, at the same time?
In this episode of “Be and Think in the House of Trust”, I am listening to Dr Belinda Bell, a social finance specialist turned social entrepreneur, and academic, who has dedicated her career to social change.
She began working with community finance organisations to provide capital for entrepreneurs creating a positive impact.
Over time, after setting up a few ventures herself, and teaching about the ecosystem at the University of Cambridge, she realised that social enterprises alone were not enough to quickly solve systemic issues like climate change and inequality.
She is now collaborating with "universal owners" - large institutional investors like pension funds that own vast portions of the economy and have an incentive to address risks that could damage their portfolios.
Bell helps these universal owners understand how maximising short-term profits can create long-term damage;
Navigating through the tough paradox of hope and cynicism, her challenge is to encourage large investors to use their influence to drive companies at large toward more sustainable practices.
Highlights in this episode:
(01:37) Curious, hopeful, cynical, and angry
(10:09) Things that appear radical can very often turn out to be maintaining the status quo
(11:47) Let’s normalise the world we want to see
(18:44) How do you actually get people to do things?

How do you reframe your worldview, putting the environment before people, people before profit, and the collective before the individual?
In this episode of Be and Think in the House of Trust, I am listening to Temuera Hall, Portfolio Manager at TAHITO, an indigenous ethical investing organisation.
Applying ancestral Māori knowledge, Tahito follows a set of key principles and intrinsic values around interconnectedness and care, that guide and drive their investment behaviours and decisions.
This is a tough responsibility because ultimately, "we are but descendants of those who have gone before us, and before that of Ranginui (our Sky Father), and Papatūānuku (our Nurturing Earth), and we're to honour this wisdom.
In this episode, Temuera describes how the Māori worldview guides us all through not just a transition but a transformation of the world towards regeneration.
