What do friends, floods, and futures have in common? 

February! While these events all happened during the month of love, they are not exclusive to a time period.  Although most of the floods we have had...there have been three so far happened in February. 

In this episode, Katherine updates listeners on her continued journey to help Mikelle plan for a future where Mikelle can manage her life more independently, working with other moms with family members with disabilities all around the same ages. Two other topics for discussion are managing the flood, which coincided with Mikelle's Affordable Housing house inspection, and the notion of a second podcast titled Shining Beautiful, too! This podcast is for caregivers and systems navigators. Like Mikelle gives voice to the often voiceless, this podcast would give attention to the often overlooked role of caregivers and the challenges of navigating a rehabilitation system going through significant change.  

Your thoughts on these topics are welcomed. Please reach out to Katherine at tangoresults@gmail.com.

Are we on track to meet the scale of system change needed to get anywhere close to a 1.5-degree world? 

We produce 50 billion tons of Co2 each year, or 6-7 tons per capita per year - that's 100x more than the average person’s body weight! What will it take to get to Net Zero?

In this episode, Jeremy Oppenheim from SystemIQ and Paul van Zyl from The Conduit discuss the three key things we need to achieve before we should even begin to talk about carbon removal, namely - 

1. electrifying the global economy with clean energy,
2. shifting land use from feeding ourselves to regeneration and the restoration of natural resources, and
3. halving our material consumption.

The two also share insights on what technology, capital, and policy we need in place in order to get there. Tune in to learn more!

Deep Systemic Change - The Intersection of Consciousness, Capital, and Technology

Charly Kleissner has never met a system he didn’t want to disrupt ….AND…. infuse with consciousness to bring it to its highest level of operation. Charly and his efforts operate at the confluence of technology, impact investing and consciousness with the latter being the key ingredient for true successful systemic change. Is ESG just impact washing? Is it another form of philanthropy being used by corporations? Can tokenization be used to fight us being the product of advertising? Can AI be used for good? A rich conversation with a visionary mind sharing solidly implementable solutions. 

Join us for our next episode on February 15th with Whurley, where we discuss the potential for quantum computing to become accessible to all and change the world.

The Future of Work and Systems Change and the Influence of Art

How do we create a business system as a living system inspired by nature versus the current models based on mechanization? In our conversation with Futurist and Systems Artist Adah Parris, we cover this idea as well as human blockchain, art as technology, the beauty in chaos, and the link between capitalism, colonization, and climate change. A fascinating listen into how we have created a culture gap through the stories we share to the outside world versus the truth of those on the inside. Not to be missed.

Join us for our next episode on November 16 with tech and impact investor leader and token economy visionary, Charly Kleissner, where we’ll talk about AI, tokens, new financial systems, and consciousness.
