Episode #81: The Heart of Self Compassion

This interview cuts straight to the heart of self-compassion, revealing it as not just a personal virtue but a critical life skill as we have a profound dialogue with Kristin Neff, a pioneering figure in compassion research. Kristin shatters the notion that self-compassion is a luxury, framing it instead as a necessity for anyone striving to thrive in the throes of life’s challenges. She presents compelling evidence from her studies, including one that revolutionizes our understanding of how self-compassion can significantly elevate athletic performance, challenging the stoic, grit-your-teeth dogma that pervades our culture.

Episode #79: Is Private Equity Out of Control?

The Private Equity industry is a lightly regulated industry with an increasingly mixed record on both financial returns and its impact on the quality of American jobs and businesses. How can it be shaped to be more of a force for good in Society and to avoid some of its worst tendencies and practices? Brendan Ballou, author of the book Plunder: Private Equity’s Plan to Pillage America, offers an authoritative overview of the industry and a comprehensive approach to the reforms needed to shift the industry in a more positive societal impact—the nudges required to change the model not to eliminate it.

Episode #78: Real Talk on ESG!

Join us for a frank discussion on ESG, climate investing, and the need for government policy through taxes and subsidies to push companies into doing the right thing for the climate crisis. As our guest Ken Pucker, former COO of Timberland, says, ESG has no impact on saving the planet. Ken talks about the challenges for all of us in understanding when and where real Capital is invested in impacting climate change. Ken argues that better accounting on externalities alone is not enough. We need to price externalities to drive real behaviour change. Hence, the role of government policy is to play a role with taxation and subsidies to reward good behaviour and punish bad.  A Podcast by Tec Sounds. ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Our Best Of: Awake Not Woke Capitalism – Patagonia Leads The Way

This week join the chairperson of Patagonia, Charles Conn, as we discuss the change in ownership at Patagonia- a company now responsible to the planet!  Charles says “We (Patagonia) think companies should stand for something. And we’re not afraid to say that we don’t think companies should be neutral creators of profit that distribute that profit to shareholders”.  Now the Board and executives at Patagonia need to ask explicitly, how is this good for the planet!  Hear Charles talk about his views on the need for long-term thinking and how we need to look at the ‘full cost’ of the products we consume- what is the actual footprint of our consumption? As conscious consumers, we need to focus on owning fewer things but better things- Patagonia strives to make the best raincoat- and make it to last and be reused and recycled too!
