Tangier Memos is a six-episode podcast series brought to you by the House of Beautiful Business and Cloud District. It uses the history and location of Tangier—the city at a crossroads—as a starting point to discuss a (business) world at a crossroads. Over the course of six episodes, we speak with visionary thinkers, founders, CEOs, scientists, and artists about the antidote to our current polycrisis: a life-centered economy based on an interspecies mindset, regenerative economics, responsible AI, fluid identities, feminism, intimacy, and belonging.

    Episode Three: Words and No Words

    In this episode, we (finally!) arrive in Tangier and speak with local entrepreneurs and cultural observers about the city’s unique history and constant transformation. With writer Taiye Selasi and others, we discuss the benefits of living between many languages, cultures, and identities, and why this fluidity is a crucial quality of life-centered businesses. We end in silence—and the insight that more of it might be a good idea for any leader, team, or organization.

    Episode Two: Joy and Sorrow

    Our second episode takes its name from a poem by Khalil Gibran–On Joy and Sorrow–which reflects on how happiness and grief are often two sides of the same coin. We discuss the co-existence of problems and possibilities in today’s world, exploring to what extent the various crises (“polycrisis”) we face can be reframed as opportunities. A range of experts join us to weigh in on the topic, including philosopher Bayo Akomolafe, digital anthropologist Matt Klein, and privacy and AI ethics scholar Carissa Véliz.
