    Learning to See- Bonus episode Season 1

    Andres and Maria have a conversation about their most important takeaways to finish the season. They speak about values, reconnection, rethinking, awareness, developing the left hemisphere of your brain, a new version of capitalism and much more. All this was inspired by the impACTivists that have been in the show. The impACTivist podcast crew will take a break and come back in September. Thank you for listening. "So who are we? We are the life-force power of the universe, with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds. And we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. Right here, right now, I can step into the consciousness of my right hemisphere, where we are. I am the life-force power of the universe. I am the life-force power of the 50 trillion beautiful molecular geniuses that make up my form, at one with all that is. Or, I can choose to step into the consciousness of my left hemisphere, where I become a single individual, a solid. Separate from the flow, separate from you. I am Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: an intellectual, neuroanatomist. These are the "we" inside of me. Which would you choose? Which do you choose? And when? I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner-peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world, and the more peaceful our planet will be. And I thought that was an idea worth spreading. " Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_my_stroke_of_insight

    Focusing on what people with dissabilities can do, he is helping businesses scale in an untapped 3 trillion market.

    One billion people that is 15% of the world’s population, experience some form of disability, and disability prevalence is higher for developing countries. Between 110 million and 190 million people, experience significant disabilities. People with disabilities are more likely to experience adverse socioeconomic outcomes such as less education, poorer health outcomes, lower levels of employment, and higher poverty rates. Xoan Fernandez explains why supporting minority disability groups is important and how leading organizations are doing it today. Unless the majority of society changes, the world will never change and business is what leads that change. The disability market, which is an eight trillion-dollar market, still remains largely untapped. We all have a role to play to change mindsets and promote disability inclusion throughout society. About: https://specialisterne.com/ Specialisterne, which translates from Danish as “The Specialists”, is a socially innovative company where the majority of employees have a diagnosis on the autism spectrum.
