#09 Bubbles, words, and surviving dinner with finance bros - with Sevim Aktas
Manage episode 372382308 series 3003445
To understand the carbon economy, we have to first… well, understand the economy. We must acknowledge that it’s run by human beings, who operate based on incentive structures and belief systems.
Sevim Aktas, founder of the EU Green Deal Brief on Instagram, explains how she had to venture out of her bubble to learn to be less judgemental and gain new perspectives. She recounts an anecdote of how she not only survived, but ended up enjoying a dinner with non-climate-conscious “finance bros”. And she explains why, sometimes, you should not call a spade a spade, if you want to convince the unconvinced.
