    By 2050 there will be more plastics in the ocean than fish. How two women are changing that headline. with Kritika Tyagi

    “By 2050 there will be more plastics in the ocean than fish”. That headline and more were what spurred Nuha Siddiqui & Kritika Tyagi to tackle what they saw as a massive opportunity: to reimagine the building blocks of plastic by pioneering new regenerative biomaterials that are now revolutionizing the plastics industry.  This is not a new story - other companies have attempted sustainable materials to rival their conventional counterparts - however, erthos stands out for having made mind-blowing strides forward as a beacon of innovation and progress in an extremely short amount of time. Using proprietary ML/AI technology along with their team & expertise, they’ve managed to: exponentially change the trajectory of sustainable materialsdevelop industry-wide, rapidly scalable design solutions that cut time to market by 5x compared to conventional plasticscommit to the relentless pursuit of cutting-edge materials and renewable and regenerative resources that put the planet first At some point we’ll stop talking about the fact that they’ve accomplished all of this at the age of 28 yrs-old but it really is such an extraordinary achievement that it has to be said!! So we hope you’ll share, like, comment and celebrate this incredible leap forward along with us. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 www.femmefuturists.comwww.planeterthos.com

    In this call to courage, what happens when you commit to being even 20 percent braver? with Robyn O'Brien

    We’re honored to introduce you to the beautiful, smart and deeply heart-centered Robyn O’Brien. Whether you know it or not, you’ve probably been impacted by her work transforming the food industry, after her life changed irrevocably when her daughter had a life-threatening reaction to food, that then turned into a movement, that then changed the entire food industry. Amazing. In our conversation Robyn’s wisdom after wisdom became like a handbook from a wise friend and advisor, as we talk about everything from: 💃🏻 How courage is her personal mantra and the extraordinary changes that happen when you commit to being even 20% braver. ✨ How if you are out there driving change, fear will be riding shotgun, but fear can be an extraordinary North Star. 🔥 How vulnerability is a strength. 🙌🏻 The need to flip the script on imposter syndrome; especially because as women we are pushing against a system that was not, and is not, built for us. 🧡 And the massive economic advantages of the history-making transfer of $30 trillion (more than the national U.S. GDP) in wealth to women, by 2030.  There is so much more we cover from being a producer on the just released documentary, Common Ground, to how she now has her sights set on the finance industry (look out!!!), so tune in and listen to get the full story…  Love what you hear?

  3. A Good Life Is An Inside Job. Exploring Deep Self Design with Sun (Kagami) Brown

    A Good Life Is An Inside Job. Exploring Deep Self Design with Sun (Kagami) Brown

    In this episode, we sit down with Sun (Kagami) Brown for a wide-ranging conversation on the art of Deep Self Design — exploring everything from the Doodle Revolution and gamestorming to collaboration literacy, inner engineering, juicy messiness, and the practice of becoming your own best friend. One of our favorite ideas Sunni shares is shoshaku jushaku — a Zen Buddhist concept often translated as “one continuous mistake.” While it might sound negative, Sunni reframes it as a philosophy of joyful trust in productive discomfort — a mindset that can transform how we approach both our inner and outer worlds. Named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” and “10 Most Creative People on Twitter” by Fast Company, Sunni has sparked a global movement around visual thinking and is widely credited with popularizing doodling as a tool for deeper inquiry. Her TED Talk has been viewed more than 1.6 million times, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, WIRED, Entrepreneur, and more. She’s been featured on CBS Sunday Morning (twice!) and The TODAY Show, and now leads as CEO of the Center for Deep Self Design. Listen in for a rich, inspiring conversation about the intersection of our inner and outer worlds — and why, as Sunni reminds us, “a good life is an inside job.” Listen to Our Previous Conversations:  🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-femme-futurists-society-podcast/id1680532882  🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xr5S27ZG3DzoHkNsOtxFN Learn more about Femme Futurists Society at https://femmefuturists.com/Learn more about Sun at http://nothingintheway.substack.com/ Music from Uppbeat: uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/transcend License code: D5M95QR3OT6UNHQY #femmefuturists

  4. Protopian vs Utopian Futures. What's the difference? with Monika Bielskyte

    Protopian vs Utopian Futures. What's the difference? with Monika Bielskyte

    Most of us are likely very familiar with the ideas of dystopia and utopia as framing for what the future might look like, but Monika Bielskyte would submit they are still two sides of the same coin. Instead, she wants us to consider the in-between space that embodies all of the living world and consciousness—nature and human—where a different narrative takes place; a Protopian future that embodies livable & inclusive visions and is ever evolving. As a positive world builder, speculative designer and futurist, Monika has traveled and engaged with unfolding futures in more than 100+ countries - having left her homeland that no longer exists to explore the world that does. Being blessed (and cursed) with what she describes as “pathological curiosity”, her fascinating journey spans academia (CCA, CSM, Lund to name a few), to Hollywood (helping world-build the vision for Wakanda & working with directors like Ridley Scott), to time in Silicon Valley, where she experienced and witnessed dysfunctional and exploitative behaviors over and over again and realized the huge knowledge gaps among those shaping our current futures. Believing that there is a better way, she founded Protopia Futures, a platform for showcasing how transcultural, interdisciplinary and life-centric design approaches alongside disability and neurodivergence inclusion, can help us design a better world for most of humanity, and foster regenerative economies of the future.  Monika is not only fascinating, but in spending time with her you quickly realize that her vision of a Protopian future is one we all need; and in our case, want.

    Liminal Leadership: A Deeper Way To Navigate Uncertainty with Ewa Pasternak

    How do we lead, live, and learn—when nothing feels certain, but everything is possible? In this deeply insightful conversation, we sit down with Ewa Pasternak, systems thinker and transformation guide, working at the intersection of systems thinking, quantum perspectives and emergent leadership to help individuals and organizations navigate liminal spaces where the old no longer fits and the new is still taking shape. She holds a clear and grounded vision: that leaders must co-create with the emerging future guided by curiosity, courage and a deep sense of purpose. Her philosophy is rooted in beautifully powerful beliefs: That the questions we ask shape the realities we buildThat new vocabularies are essential for imagining new worldsThat authenticity, fun, and essentialism are non-negotiables for flow and connectionThat ancient wisdom can illuminate our most modern dilemmasAnd that leadership is, at its heart, the art of energetic alignment and awareness By inviting us to shift our gaze from the obvious to the unobserved, Ewa shows us that we can learn how to lead in harmony with what’s unfolding.  Ewa Pasternak: https://ewapasternak.com/ ▶️ Watch here: https://youtu.be/2i8RtmqcGr8?si=iyK9natIj7o0h_kr  (00:00) - Femme Futures Ewa Pasternak (00:36) - Eva's Background and Quantum Leadership (02:34) - Spiritual Intelligence in Business (06:27) - Crisis Communication and Leadership (10:26) - Understanding Liminality (17:40) - Newtonian vs Quantum Paradigms (24:28) - Liminal Intelligence and Its Importance (28:55) - Exploring Our Relationship with Nature and Technology (30:35) - Embracing Liminal Spaces (41:36) - The Role of AI in Our Lives (42:34) - The Future of Human and AI Co-Creation (48:31) - Reflecting on Feminine Wisdom and Connection (52:03) - Embodying Liminal Intelligence
