284. Marie Ekeland - Reinventing the VC-model, Alignment and Investments that create reality
Marie Ekeland (LI) founder of 2050 and venture capitalist came on and we spoke about how they are reinventing the VC model so it may contribute to a regenerative future. This is a very hands on conversation that dives into the weeds: the fund structure their alignment model, the world they are hoping to create through their investment, the incentives. It's absolutely excellent. We also speak of why investment is a creation of reality, of the dangers of financial and real economy living in separate realities and why it is (perhaps more than ever) important to find ways to go against the market norm. Enjoy!

275. Parul Punjabi Jagdish - imagination, living knowledge and death
Parul Punjabi Jagdish (LinkedIn) steward of AIME came by the podcast. We spoke of the importance of the process of familiarising ourselves with who we are, the role and function of imagination. Why death is so central to life and how inviting it into our individual lives as well as our organisations is an invitation to radically shift away from where we are currently headed. We spoke of living cultures and living knowledge, the concept of retrieving forward and how what we are consist only of relationship. We also spoke about Imagine The Film and how it follows from a completely different pattern of creation - a sacred, co-created one. This conversation is a beautiful one. Enjoy!
