For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhen Maren Costa took on Amazon fighting for better working conditions for the distribution center workers during covid, I thought she was the bravest person I knew. But getting to know Maren better over our conversation, I came to learn that activism comes naturally to her. She shares a high tolerance for risk like all entrepreneurs. So what seems brave to others feels natural and logical to those of us who have the risk bug. The first time I heard the term "climate justice" was on one of Maren's interviews on CNN or some other national news outlet. Did Amazon win this fight? Maren has the answer.…

Ooh, that's a bit tortured. Beth and Michael discuss how copyright law is impacted by ChatGPT & Friends. Michael handles Beth's "What ifs" and "How abouts" with aplomb. Beth asks Michael to ponder if gross things are actually funny or if laughing at gross things is just an extended expression of disgust. Michael misses the point.…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedFor all you Anthony Bourdain fans out there, you need to know about Deagon Williams. Deagon is a Paris-trained executive chef that keeps other chefs in in business. She is the founder of Culinary Business Strategy, a consultancy that advises chefs on making their restaurants a success through establishing a solid financial model. Growing up, Deagon was one of 2 Caucasian kids at her school, but she didn't know she was a minority. This set the stage for Deagon being able to meld in anywhere, with anyone, at any time. A critical skill set being one of the first female executive chefs ever. I didn't get enough time in this session to get to everything I wanted to ask Deagon, so expect follow up conversations with this woman who is unique in the world. She lived through a wild upbringing, but brings stability to a profession she has participated in at the absolute highest level.…

I listen to a lot of podcasts .One of the reasons I started the Rock 'n' Roll Porter podcast was that I was frustrated hearing the same men hosting the same other men on their podcasts, thanking each other for giving each other their big breaks. These stories are far and few between for women. But the community of change-maker women are building our own culture on our own terms in our own way and in our own time. I am collecting stories of women giving other women their big breaks. In this pilot bonus episode, I share with Megan the woman who gave me my big break, and Megan share how she gave someone on her team her big break. If you want to tell the story of your Big Breaker, find me on LinkedIn.…

...but everybody finds Megan pleasing. Currently Megan is based in Edinburgh as program manager at AbacusBio. Most people who know her describe her as the embodiment of contradictions. She possesses a rare combination of both an entrepreneurial mindset and a project managers executional capabilities. She is direct and no-nonsense and a self-described "crier." Megan is an expert in nutrition, and incredible cook and hostess, founder of Pinch dumplings...and also worked for a bank for 6 years. I wanted to interview her to get her unusual take on entrepreneurship, failure, and her ability to see--and fill--gaps in society where people are longing for connection. Megan is a "cool girl" but she has no need to impress anyone. This is starting to sound like I am trying to write her profile for a dating app. I'm her fan. Listen to what she has to say and you'll know why. Megan is available as a facilitator. I am begging her to put my team to work assembling dumplings while we work through a heavy strategic problem.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedTammy Parrish is the founder of The Clothing Compass. Tammy started her career as a fashion designer, but transferred into a career with a much broader mission. Her goal is to bring awareness to what clothes we buy, why we buy them, how long we should wear them, and what to do with the items in our closets that no longer serves us. In short, wearing our values makes us feel good. I have referred to her as my "personal stylist," but Tammy prefers to call what she does "wardrobe management." I think everyone who can needs to manage their wardrobe. We go deep into why. The fashion industry is a top environmental polluter. There is a way to curb this by being much more mindful and collaborative in the purchases we make. She explains why "professional" should be an adjective and not a noun. We discuss the psychology behind buying clothes and jump into one of my favorite themes: replacing the dopamine hit of convenience with the infinite pleasures of community and connection. This is why I love working with Tammy, and why I loved talking with her even more. The Clothing Compass Guidelines for fashion brands to follow when designing collections are about the 3 Cs: consent, credit & compensation. Here’s a podcast where lawyer Monica Boța-Moisin, founder of Cultural Intellectual Property Rights Initiative, dives into it. A good article on NPR about how to decide as an individual whether wearing something is cultural appropriation Other resources mentioned by Tammy: Aja Barber, author of Consumed Orsola de Castro’s book Loved Clothes Last ( bol.com , amazon.com , amazon.nl )…

Have you ever met someone where everything they say you want to write down? Listen to this podcast with pen in hand. Gonnie Been is one of the most profound, wise, and fascinating thought leaders I know. Most recently, Gonnie was the Co-Founder of the World Benchmarking Alliance. I've caught her in transitional moment. She calls herself a pioneer. I think of her more of a pilot. Free thinking, restless, independent, looking at the world from 30,000 feet, with her feet firmly on the ground. She has strong ideas of how to organize and manage teams from a position of compassion, and how and why we need to completely revamp global financial systems. Yet, two very quiet, small interactions with Gonnie were inflection points for me.…
