    enMay 09, 2019

    Podcast Summary

    • Exploring the connection between technology and daily lifeFrom managing finances to accessing news, technology enhances our daily experiences with convenience and efficiency

      Technology connects various aspects of our daily lives in meaningful ways. From podcasts and news to work and even royal announcements, technology enables us to access information and entertainment in new and convenient ways. For instance, AT&T's connection between podcasts and home appliances allows us to stream our favorite shows while getting ready for work or doing household chores. Apple Card, another technological innovation, offers cashback rewards on everyday purchases, making financial management more efficient. In international news, tensions between Iran and the United States continue to escalate, with the US sending the USS Lincoln to the Persian Gulf region following intelligence reports of potential attacks against American interests. Despite the tensions, it's important to remember that technology can bring people closer together and make our lives more convenient and enjoyable.

    • Geopolitical tensions and personal freedoms shape political landscapeAmerica's focus remains on Iran, a Kentucky teenager faced vaccine consequences, and past actions impacted Democratic primary candidates.

      Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and debates over personal freedoms, consistency and past actions continue to shape the political landscape. In the Middle East, America's focus remains on perceived threats from Iran, while in the US, a Kentucky teenager learned a hard lesson about vaccinations. Meanwhile, in the world of politics, the ongoing Democratic primary race has unearthed past revelations about the candidates, including Bernie Sanders' consistent stance on issues like healthcare and fair taxation, which he has maintained for decades.

    • Bernie Sanders' unique approach to kidsBernie Sanders' consistent policies reflect America's persisting issues, and his unconventional interactions with kids, while well-intended, sometimes perpetuated stereotypes

      Bernie Sanders' consistency in his policies over the past 30 years reflects the persisting issues in America rather than a personal trait. The TV show featuring Bernie also showcased his unique interactions with kids, where he displayed a lack of distinction between children and adults in his approach. He engaged kids in discussions about drugs, finance, and education, sometimes taking a confrontational tone. One such instance involved him sharing his outdated views on racial stereotypes, which may have backfired. Despite his straightforward nature, Bernie's interactions with kids sometimes went too far, as seen in his attempt to teach them about bigotry, which may have inadvertently perpetuated stereotypes. Overall, Bernie's TV show offered a glimpse into his unconventional approach to communicating with various age groups.

    • Bernie Sanders' Inappropriate Comments During Campaign EventPublic figures should be mindful of their words and actions, especially when interacting with children. The collaboration between Leesa and West Elm on the natural hybrid mattress symbolizes premium quality, sustainable practices, and a better night's sleep.

      During a campaign event, Bernie Sanders was recorded making inappropriate and insensitive comments towards children. Instead of answering a simple question about new trees, he turned it into a lengthy discussion about zoning laws and land ownership. Sanders also made offensive and stereotypical remarks about various ethnic groups, which were uncalled for and unnecessary. These actions were not only awkward but also inappropriate for the setting and audience. It's essential for public figures to be mindful of their words and actions, especially when interacting with children. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and sensitivity towards others, regardless of the context. Additionally, the collaboration between Leesa and West Elm on the natural hybrid mattress represents the connection between premium quality, sustainable practices, and a better night's sleep.

    • Importance of transparency and authenticityTransparency and authenticity build trust and confidence, making a positive impact and maintaining success, whether in personal relationships or business.

      Transparency and authenticity are essential in building trust and confidence, whether it's in personal relationships or in business. In the first part of the discussion, Lisa's commitment to donating mattresses to those in need while providing a quality product highlights the importance of making a positive impact. In the second part, the revelation about Donald Trump's financial losses from his tax returns raises questions about transparency and authenticity in politics. Despite the potential negative implications, some argue that it's impressive that Trump was able to maintain a public image of success during financially challenging times. Overall, the conversation underscores the importance of being true to oneself and being open about one's circumstances, whether personal or professional.

    • Understanding Different PerspectivesPeople have varying values and interpretations, even on seemingly clear-cut issues. It's crucial to respect privacy and consider different viewpoints.

      People's perspectives and values can greatly differ, even on issues that seem black and white. The discussion about Hitler's travels and Trump's tax returns illustrate this point. While some view these topics as evidence of shady dealings, others see them as symbols of wealth and success. This divide highlights the importance of understanding different viewpoints and respecting personal privacy. In a separate note, Tyra Banks' interview showcases the power of representation and self-acceptance. Despite facing barriers in the fashion industry, she embraced her unique qualities and became a trailblazer for body positivity and diversity. Her resilience and confidence serve as an inspiration for many.

    • A black model and photographer grace the cover of Sport Illustrated for the first time, marking progress in the modeling industry.Social media amplified underrepresented voices, leading to the first black model and photographer on Sport Illustrated's cover. Successful individuals like Tara Banks use their platforms to teach and inspire change in various industries.

      The modeling industry is undergoing positive changes, as evidenced by the cover featuring a black model and a black photographer for the first time ever in Sport Illustrated's history. This change was initiated through the power of social media, which amplified the voices of underrepresented communities and forced the fashion industry to take notice. Tara Banks, a successful model and TV host, played a role in this change by discovering and hiring a black photographer, Loretta Houston, for the cover shoot. Banks also used her platform to teach personal branding to individuals in various industries, demonstrating how success in one area can be parlayed into other fields. While there is still work to be done, the progress made in the modeling industry is a significant step towards greater diversity and inclusion.

    • Embrace your uniqueness and communicate effectively to attract opportunitiesAuthentic personal branding leads to financial success and making a difference in the world

      Developing a unique personal brand is crucial for success in any field, whether it's business or non-profit work. According to Tyra Banks, it's essential to embrace what makes you different and communicate that effectively to attract the best opportunities, including funding and top talent. Banks, who has renamed herself "Banks" and rebranded herself as a champion for diversity and inclusivity in modeling, emphasized the importance of standing for something that resonates with people and opens doors to new possibilities. Personal branding can lead to financial success and making a difference in the world. So, be authentic, communicate your unique value proposition, and watch how opportunities come your way.

    Chinese Infrastructure Projects in Africa Don't Meet ESG Standards

    Chinese Infrastructure Projects in Africa Don't Meet ESG Standards

    Two years ago, China introduced a series of new so-called "green guidelines" that it hoped would promote more sustainable development abroad. But in Africa, according to a new research report, it appears those higher environmental, social, and governance (ESG) have been difficult to meet.

    Researchers from Boston University's Global Development Policy Center, the Fudan University Green Finance and Development Center, the South African Institute of International Affairs, and LSE IDEAS teamed up to examine ESG standards at five Chinese-funded infrastructure projects in Egypt, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.

    Two of the scholars on that team, Cecilia Han Springer and Christoph Nedopil, join Cobus (who also contributed to the research) to discuss their findings and explain why Chinese companies continue to struggle to meet minimum ESG standards in Africa.

    Denice Ross is the Chief Data Scientist in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. In our discussion, she shared a behind-the-scenes look into how data can be used to measure equitable investments and their outcomes with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

    “What makes me really excited about this infrastructure law is not just how much money it is, or the drumbeat of all these great funding opportunities coming online, but that these investments are being rolled out with equity as a top priority. And that’s ensuring that underserved communities have fair access to these resources," Denice Ross.
