How well are women and communities of color being represented in financial services? And how many brilliant ideas don’t get the opportunities they deserve because we are not listening to all the voices? Many people assume that we have a pipeline problem, that there are no women or prominent female leaders in financial services. But that cannot be further from the truth. We don’t have a pipeline problem; rather, we have a listening problem.  In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Sonya Dreizler and Liv Gagnon, founders of Choir, who are on a mission to change whom the finance industry listens to. You can’t be what you can’t see. Together, we can help change the status quo, one conference at a time.

Jamil talks to Irish software entrepreneur John Dennehy to learn more about this important initiative. This project has been launched with the goal of making an immediate and timely action to help in Ukraine. See more on the Safe HarThis positive and practical initiative has been launched with the goal of making an immediate and timely action to help in Ukraine. See more on the Safe Harbour for Ukraine website here and on the gofundme page here.bour for Ukraine website here and on the gofundme page here. Safe Harbour for Ukraine A group of friends in Ireland are sending a bus filled with essential supplies to the Polish/Ukraine border and are returning with 40 women and children displaced by war. The goal is to provide accommodation and integration support for our guests for as long as is necessary. They will be treated with dignity and respect. This is a community based project with support from Cronin’s Coaches, Dennehy Commercials, and the enormous goodwill of the Irish people. The bus is leaving on St Patrick’s Day and will return approximately five days later. We are relying 100% on the goodwill of people in Ireland to make this happen. If you can help, especially by providing shelter in your home we’d love to hear from you. If you can’t provide shelter we have a list of urgently needed supplies below. In the coming days we will launch a GoFundMe page so you can make a cash donation. Our GoFundMe page is here. OFFERING ACCOMMODATION Finding suitable accommodation for our guests is the most challenging part. Your help would be greatly appreciated. You might have a spare bedroom you can offer, or even an entire property that’s not fully used. Right now we’re looking for properties in Cork and Limerick city, preferably within walking distance of shops and a bus route. It’s a big thing to offer a room in your home. Most of our guests do not have fluent, or even any, English. They’ve all been through a horrific experience. None of us know how long this war will go on for but we would ask that if you are making a commitment it is for at least three months. If you feel you could help, please fill out the form by clicking here DONATING ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES Refugees arriving at the Polish/Ukrainian border are tired, hungry and many are sick. We are providing supplies to those who have managed to cross the border and make it safely into Poland. If you can help we would greatly appreciate it. Please pack goods ideally into cardboard boxes or transparent plastic bags, label them, and deliver them to us at Cronin’s Coaches in Cork (Eircode: T23 A0CX), or Dennehy Motors in Limerick (V94 FYY6).

There are many metaverses in Web3 with more springing up overnight. Some bright spark recently called the metaverse just space on someone’s computer (or more correctly computers) but on February 15, JP Morgan issued a report on metaverses which concluded by saying that the metaverse will most likely infiltrate every sector in some way in the coming years, with the market opportunity estimated at $1 trillion in yearly revenues. It’s a bit loose on specifics but the report leaned much more heavily into the hype than reality (from the title of the report). Someone who knows first-hand the opportunities involved in the metaverse, before it was even given that common term, is Sebastien Borget, co-founder of Sandbox, arguably one of the most successful metaverses and certainly leading the pack in this increasingly crowded field. To hear more tune into the podcast Your host is Jillian Godsil, award winning journalist, broadcaster and author. Her latest book can be found at https://persons-of-interest.io/
