    78. Business for Good: How Markets, Power, and Purpose Shape Societal Transformation

    Business often gets talked about as if it sits neatly in the “economic” box, separate from ethics, power, and social responsibility. In reality, business has always been part of everyday social life, shaped by politics, culture, and shared ideas about what is acceptable or fair—and shaping those things in return. This episode looks at business as just one of several ways change happens, tracing how it has evolved from pre-industrial moral economies, through industrial capitalism, to today’s neoliberal context. Along the way, it unpacks the real limits of what business can achieve under capitalism, while also explaining why businesses are so often asked to step in when governments are constrained by politics, budgets, or slow institutions. The conversation then explores two common models of purpose-driven business—B Corporations and social enterprises—drawing a clear distinction between businesses that aim to be good in how they operate and those that exist specifically to do good through their core purpose. Rather than presenting business as a silver bullet, the episode encourages a more honest and practical conversation about when business can genuinely contribute to social and environmental change, and where its role is inherently limited. 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.

    77. Crossing State Lines: How Reverend Erika Ferguson is Redefining Reproductive Freedom

    Reverend Erika Ferguson’s life and work stand as a testament to courage, compassion, and conviction. As the founder of the Tubman Travel Project, she helps women in restrictive states across the United States safely access reproductive healthcare—transforming journeys of fear into experiences of care, connection, and community. In this powerful conversation, Erika shares how her faith, grounded in service and liberation, guides her work in reproductive justice; what it truly takes to accompany women across borders; and why risk, spirituality, and radical compassion are inseparable in the fight for freedom. About Our Guest: Rev. Erika Ferguson is the founder of the Tubman Travel Project, which has helped hundreds of Texans travel for abortion care in New Mexico. For over five years, she has built pathways of freedom where systems tried to close doors, proving that no permission is needed to move, choose, and live fully. https://tubmantravel.org/ 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.

    76. Values as a Compass: How Changemakers Navigate Organisations and Complexity

    Values are often treated as decorative statements—nice words on a website or a slide in an induction pack—but for changemakers, they are far more than that. This episode explores why values are foundational to ethical, effective, and sustainable social change, shaping not only what work is undertaken but how decisions are made, relationships are formed, and power is exercised. Drawing on real-world examples and the core values of the Humanitarian Changemakers Network, the conversation unpacks how values function as a living compass in conditions of uncertainty, helping individuals and organisations move from good intentions to coherent action, aligned strategy, and a culture built on trust, dignity, and care. 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode here. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.

    74. How Multidimensional Mindfulness Can Be a Tool for Transformation

    Mindfulness is often framed as a personal coping tool—something individuals practise to manage stress within systems that remain fundamentally unchanged. This conversation challenges that narrow framing and introduces a multidimensional approach to mindfulness grounded in social theory, empowerment research, and systems thinking. Drawing on a framework that understands human experience across four interconnected planes of being—the material, psychosocial, structural, and relational—the episode explores how mindfulness can be practised not only within the self, but also in relation to bodies, institutions, power, and collective action. By moving beyond commodified, individualised notions of mindfulness, the discussion repositions it as a reflexive capacity with genuine transformative potential for social movements, offering practical ways to engage more ethically, sustainably, and strategically in the work of social change. 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    73. The Working Backwards Methodology for Innovation: Sustainability, AI, and Leadership with Amir Elion

    Innovation is a word we hear often, but what does it actually mean in practice? In this conversation with Amir Elion—innovation leader, former head of Amazon Web Services’ Digital Innovation program in the Nordics, and founder of Think Big Leaders—we explore how organisations can move beyond buzzwords to create real value. Amir shares how Amazon’s “working backwards” method can be applied anywhere, why culture matters more than size when it comes to innovation, and how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we create, test, and scale ideas. Along the way, he reflects on lessons from global corporations, startups, and NGOs, and on how his move to the Nordics reshaped his perspective on sustainability, leadership, and the future of technology. About Our Guest: Amir Elion is an experienced Business, Innovation and Transformation Leader. Amir is the founder of and senior advisor at Think Big Leaders, and co-initiator of the Global Green Action Day. He led the Digital Innovation program at Amazon Web Services in the Nordics, helping AWS customers build new products and experiences that delight customers using Amazon own Working Backwards innovation methodology. Previously, he led innovation and training activities at Motorola Solutions and Teva Pharmaceuticals, was Director of Products in two startups and served as a strategy and innovation consultant. Amir has a proven track record of leading business development, product teams and launches, as well as large learning and development projects and operations. 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.

    72. Money Isn’t a Resource: Rethinking Money for Social Change

    Money is often treated as the central ingredient for social change, yet this conversation challenges that assumption and offers a more precise—and more empowering—way to think about it. Tiyana unpacks why money is better understood as energy or a medium of exchange rather than a true resource, and why attaching moral weight to money itself obscures the real ethical questions: how it is earned, directed, and used. Drawing on catalytic thinking and the idea of collective enoughness, the episode reframes scarcity as a systems problem rather than an individual failing, then widens the lens further by exploring wealth as a multidimensional concept (including skills, relationships, time, and other forms of capital). The result is a grounded framework for changemakers who want to relate to money with clarity—without overvaluing it, fearing it, or mistaking it for the source of transformation. 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.

    71. Conservation, Complexity, and Connection: Rethinking Our Relationship with Nature with Tommy Serafinski

    Tommy’s path into conservation and science communication did not begin in academia, but on the riverbanks with a fishing rod and a blog. Over time, his passion for the outdoors grew into a podcast that now explores the intersection of ecology, policy, and social change. In this conversation, we discuss how human attitudes and behaviours complicate conservation, why reconnecting with nature is essential, and how building common ground—even across differences—can drive meaningful progress for people and wildlife alike. About Our Guest: Tommy Serafinski is an outdoorsman, podcaster, and speaker passionate about nature, conservation, and the ways humans and wildlife interact. Combining a love of the outdoors with a curiosity for science, he bridges first-hand experience in the wild with research-driven insights. Whether weathering the elements, engaging with the latest studies, or sharing stories on his podcast Conservation and Science, Tommy explores how people can better understand, respect, and coexist with the natural world. 📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.
