Contemporary critical theorist, legal advocate, and author Bernard Harcourt has developed a transformative theory and practice that builds on global models of successful cooperation.

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 03:00:00 -0700

It is widely acknowledged that our society faces a profound issue of wealth inequality. The entrenchment of systemic racism and patriarchy has amplified the advantages enjoyed by affluent white men.

Vincent Stanley: Rethinking Business When Traditional Capitalism No Longer Works for People or Planet

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 03:00:00 -0700

Over the years, Patagonia has been recognized as much for its social and environmental practices as it has for its clothes. In an unprecedented move in 2022, the Chouinard family gave the company away, converting ownership to a simple structure of trusts so that all its profits could be used to protect our “home planet” and reverse the climate crisis, an enduring and pressing issue that has been around as long as the company has.

Today we are joined by a returning guest and one of Patagonia’s original employees, Vincent Stanley, who currently serves as the company’s in-house philosopher (and, more informally, their chief storyteller). Vincent also co-authored The Responsible Company: What We’ve Learned From Patagonia’s First 50 Years with Yvon Chouinard. The book draws on 50 years of experience at Patagonia to challenge business owners and leaders to reevaluate their businesses in a time of cultural and climate chaos.

Daniel Kurzrock: Addressing the Food Waste Crisis Through Upcycling

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 03:00:00 -0700

The idea of upcycling, which Daniel Kurzrock happened upon as he was looking for better things to do with the “brewers spent grain” (BSG) from his home-brewed beer business than throw it away, is what forms the foundation of his company, Upcycled Foods, Inc. By turning it into consumables like energy bars and loaves of bread, Daniel and his team are chipping away at the 20 billion pounds of BSG that ends up as animal feed or in landfills around the US every year.

MBA Series Ep. 20: Operations II - Operation Projection and Financial Systems

Tue, 16 May 2023 03:00:00 -0700

What comes up for you when you hear the words ‘profit and loss statement’ or ‘balance sheet’? Fear, anxiety, stress, or even anger are common answers to that question. Although there tends to be an aversion to wanting to understand financial systems, there are a number of intuitive financial concepts we use in our daily experience. But the language around them can confuse and intimidate the public, creating barriers leading to problems later on.

This episode imagines what may change if universal financial literacy becomes the norm. It explores what is necessary to develop the necessary expertise to successfully navigate financial systems without dedicating oneself to in-depth study. Next, a distinction is made between compliance and management accounting and their corresponding timelines.

Today’s guest, spiritually rooted coach and trainer Jakada Imani, has spent his entire adult life helping Black people break free from the barriers which prevent them from reaching their full potential.

Katrina Spade: Recompose Life

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 03:00:00 -0800

Conventional funerary practices are environmentally problematic. Each year, 2.7 million people die in the US, and most are buried in a conventional cemetery or cremated. Cremation burns fossil fuels and emits carbon dioxide and particulates into the atmosphere, while burial consumes valuable urban land, pollutes the soil, and contributes to climate change through the resource-intensive manufacture and transport of caskets, headstones, and grave liners. Today’s guest, Katrina Spade, knew there had to be a better way.

Courtney Martin: Learning in Public

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 03:00:00 -0700

Despite progressive policies around public school integration, culture has not caught up, and reality does not reflect what institutions have mandated. In her latest book, Learning in Public, passionate storyteller, writer, and journalist, Courtney Martin, shares how her sending her daughter to Emerson Elementary, a poorly-rated public school down the road from her home offered her a powerful place to dig deeper about the pervasive racial injustice in America.

Kevin Bayuk: Is Cryptocurrency "Good" for the Next Economy?

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 02:00:00 -0700

Today, LIFT Partners Kevin Bayuk and Ryan Honeyman chat about the topic of decentralization and how this manifests to varying degrees within the blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

We start off with some simple definitions, clarifying the differences and relationships between the concept of a decentralized ledger, the blockchain, and the cryptocurrencies that use it.

The important questions here are around who benefits from these systems and platforms, and whether it is possible to create cryptocurrencies and decentralization that serve more people. This raises the important theme of governance and how it can decide the fate of a technology or company.

The last part of our chat is spent looking at historical and contemporary examples of decentralization, and how these can inform our vision of what a decentralized world might look like.

One of the most valuable ideas here is to position new technologies as ethical tools to build cornerstones of a more equitable world, with less self-interest and wealth accumulation.

---

Key Points From This Episode:

A quick definition of terms; decentralized ledger, blockchain, and bitcoin
The opportunities and challenges of reducing the exploitation associated with intermediaries
Looking at some of the more equitable examples of cryptocurrency such as FairCoin.
A litmus test for blockchain projects; avoiding self-interested wealth accumulation
The exciting work being done by the team at Regen Network on the Terra Genesis project
Considering a few historical examples of successful decentralized communities
Contemporary initiatives that are running against mainstream economic trends
Imagining a future of locally-reliant economies and the language necessary for this

David Jackson: Marrying Purpose, Passion, and Profession

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 02:00:00 -0700

We are excited to welcome the CEO of Evolve Oakland, David Jackson, to the show today to talk about his work, philosophy towards positive impact, and the important work that is happening and still needs to be done right now. David anchors his life with three 'Ps'; purpose, passion, and profession, and it was through the marriage of these that he found his calling at Evolve, helping marginalized people of color grow business and become their best selves.

In our conversation, we hear about the time that David spent working with the Golden State Warriors, the development of his message of having faith, fun, and fight, and also how he and Evolve have reacted to the pandemic to rebuild what was lost. David's dedication to creating pathways to Black ownership is truly inspiring, and the priority he places on this area sheds much light on the hurdles that we have yet to overcome as a society.

David aims to create gathering spaces for Black folks, with an eye on a future without the lack that is still so prevalent in today's world. He talks about collectivism and mobilization, and what exactly is needed to build this future. We also get into some of David's favorite things to do and read, and the fountains from which he currently draws inspiration.

Key Points From This Episode:

David's professional history and entrepreneurial journey leading to his work with Evolve.
Unpacking what Evolve does, its model, and how it serves the community.
The impact of the last year and the pandemic on Evolve and the work they do.
Next steps for Evolve and their current move to downsize and relocate.
White supremacy, anti-blackness, and a vision for the future; things that keep David up at night.
David's most recommended book: The Medici Effect by Frans Johansson.
Creating a space to call home and financial partnership; the biggest priorities for David and Evolve.

Erin Heaney: Showing Up for Racial Justice

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0700

In today’s episode of Next Economy Now, your host, Ryan Honeyman, gets together with Erin Heaney, executive director of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). https://surj.org/

Erin shares about her family history of involvement in activism, from the struggles in Northern Ireland to Union groups in America, and how her queer identity has connected her to her work in social justice reform.

Erin explains that while SURJ was founded relatively recently in 2009, its mandate strives to respond to a call from The Black Panthers, made in the 1960s, on white folks to address racism in their communities.

The conversation centers on the important work being done at SURJ and the role that white folks can play in social justice reform by supporting solutions that have been set by those most affected by white supremacy.

Erin unpacks the importance of discussing race and class concurrently in activism and reform work, and how racism and white supremacy have undermined every single social justice movement in the USA by weaponizing racial divides.

Yana Ludwig: Moving Toward Cooperative Culture

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0700

The United States has a culture that is individualistic, competitive, and materialistic. To move forward to a less oppressive environment we need to radically shift our values and learn to work together.

Here to discuss these important topics today is Yana Ludwig, cooperative culture pioneer, intentional community advocate, and oppression activist.

Yana is the author of Together Resilient and The Cooperative Culture Handbook. We explore the ways that she is confronting power, oppression, privilege, and individualism in her writing and intentional actions.

We talk about the focus on local community-based responses to climate destruction in Together Resilient and how the themes of culture and group process work in that book grew into The Cooperative Culture Handbook.

A few of the themes Yana discusses in her book are around how our culture thinks about security and listening, and the effects that disintegration has on us psychologically.

Part of the work she tries to do is reframe these concepts so they can underlie a more equitable cultural value system or drive a behavior change.

Our conversation also explores the difficult terrain of oppressor cultures confronting their privilege, cultural appropriation and Yana’s decision to change her name multiple times, and a few organizations that are pushing the needle forward as far as cooperative culture.

Sarah Peyton: Using Relational Neuroscience to Enable Change

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 18:00:00 -0700

While there is an ever-growing pool of ideas on how to use business as a force for good, and how to change systems, getting people to open their hearts and listen to one another can often be a sticking point in enabling systemic change.

Sarah Peyton is a neuroscience educator, constellations facilitator, Certified Nonviolent Communication trainer, and author of the book, Your Resonant Self. She invites her audiences to understand how trauma affects their brains, and teaches them about their brain’s capacity for healing.

In this episode, Sarah talks about how we can use neuroscience to understand people in the workforce. When we understand people’s inability to meet expectations, not only can we soften, but we can also create organizational structures and interventions that foster people’s healing. Although viewing employees as whole people is becoming increasingly common, it is still not the dominant business culture. We talk about what it means to go against the status quo and the implications this has.

Our conversation also touches on sustainability, and expanding the definition of the concept, the importance of community, and what can happen when we allow emotions into the workplace. Opening the hearts and minds of others is not a simple task, but incredible change is possible with these shifts can happen.

Autumn Brown: Anti-Oppressive Facilitation for Democratic Process

Tue, 25 May 2021 10:00:00 -0700

In this episode of Next Economy Now, Ryan Honeyman sits down with Autumn Brown, mother, organizer, theologian, artist, facilitator, and worker-owner at AORTA, the Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance.

As a fellow worker-owned co-op devoted to strengthening movements for social justice, AORTA brings valuable cross-issue experience garnered over 10 years of seeing patterns and common mis-steps across organizations whose purposes are rooted in racial, gender, economic, environmental, and disability justice, trans and queer liberation, and anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism.

This discussion revolves around anti-oppressive facilitation for democratic process, the daily decisions we make, whether conscious or unconscious, and some of the assumptions underlying those decisions. Autumn also reflects on the roles of the facilitator and shares some practical advice and techniques for those looking to use this important skillset as a means for furthering systemic change.

Noran Sanford, Ravin Patel, & Norman Garcia-Lopez: "Flip Your Prison" with Growing Change

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 20:00:00 -0700

Founder of Growing Change, Noran Sanford grew up in an abusive, working-class Scot-Irish family in rural North Carolina. Ever since a young age he had a strong sense of justice, and took a stand against racism in his home even though it meant getting knocked down.

Scholarships for community involvement in high school helped Noran attend university at UNC-Chapel Hill. There he co-founded one of the few college Habitat for Humanity chapters in the country and, when then-President Reagan’s policies resulted in large populations of people shifting from mental health institutions to homeless shelters, he rallied UNC’s athletes to volunteer in shelters, helping deescalate violent situations and prevent police intervention. As a young professional, himself diagnosed with PTSD, he won awards his work in the passage of mental health parity laws in Virginia and for his work advocating for students with disabilities.

In 2000, Noran got married and moved back to Laurinburg to provide home care for his mother who was an Alzheimer’s victim. He “was stunned to find that our challenged area had grown more difficult.” Noran had been heavily involved in community work but, after 20 years “in the trenches”, he became disillusioned with the impact he was having as a counselor. Then, five years ago, at the funeral for “another young man who was lost to gang violence” he made the commitment to “never stand at another graveside for a young person I worked with asking myself if I could have done ‘more.’ This is the 'more.'”

David Holmgren: RetroSuburbia – The Downshifter's Guide to a Resilient Future

Tue, 12 Nov 2019 07:00:00 -0800

David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the permaculture concept following the publication of Permaculture One in 1978. Since then he has developed three properties, consulted and supervised in urban and rural projects and presented lectures, workshops and courses at a wide variety of events and venues in Australia and around the world. His writings over those three decades span a diversity of subjects and issues but always illuminating another aspect of permaculture thinking.

As well as constant involvement in the practical side of permaculture, David is passionate about the philosophical and conceptual foundations for sustainability, the focus of his seminal book Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. This book has been significant influences on the development of Transition Initiatives around the world. More recently his Future Scenarios work has seen him recognized as a significant thinker about the “Energy Descent future.”

Interview Highlights:

From the co-originator of the permaculture concept, David shares his definition of what permaculture is and what it is not
Discussion of David’s new book, RetroSuburbia: The Downshifter's Guide to a Resilient Future
An unpacking of many economic ideas based around what David Holmgren argues is the basic economic unit of society: the household.
