The world is moving at breakneck speed, and as you’ve probably become aware….our lives are more and more relying on our data. We rely on this data, but have little ability to utilize them in the manner we use our physical possessions (loaning, renting, upgrading, etc.) Digital ownership is an important field to understand as more and more of our lives go online. In this episode, we talk with Shira Stember, the Chief Operating Officer of Snickerdoodle Labs. Snickerdoodle is developing core infrastructure to ensure all internet users can benefit from the amazing private, secure and transparent digital future we need to retain human rights and protect our sovereignty. As we spiral into a future that exists in more virtual spaces, digital ownership is fundamental to our individual and collective sovereignty.

Given the pace of development over the last century, and the amount of investment in carbon-based economy, flipping the switch to renewables over night is, unfortunately, not realistic. In this episode, we connect with Hitesh Juneja, a globally recognized innovator who is applying his business acumen, and activating his network to evolve antiquated energy technologies while simultaneously increasing access to who can participate in and benefit from energy creation and distribution operation. Hitesh and his team are creating a cleaner, greener, more just energy and economic system that's being implemented today.

Our governance structures and processes are stuck in the 1960s. If we don’t act in short order to upgrade our operating systems, we are going to find ourselves in the dustbin of history. Innovators like Myron Ragsdale & Lynn Roosevelt Wiggins join us today to share the tools and their creativity applied to improving our democratic processes. ** Around the 3min mark, Lynn revised the stat, he revises his fact: African American turnout fell by 765k votes in 2016--not the 1.2 M voters mentioned.** - Learn more about InfoVote: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myron-ragsdale/https://www.forbes.com/sites/annefield/2021/02/25/entrepreneurs-goal-boosting-black-millennials-civic-engagement/?sh=6e33b1f71455 - Download the App: https://infovoteapp.com/ - Connect with Myron: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myron-ragsdale/

In recent years, we have seen an influx of innovative and bold experiments in redistributing the wealth accumulated by various institutions, organizations and entrepreneurs. These experiments fly under different flags - universal basic income, corporate social responsibility - social impact bonds, unrestricted granting, stimulus checks, gifts, social impact, etc. Some of these are making big impacts, some of these are perpetuating existing problems, some of these might be inviting new problems, and some of these giving practices just might be the key to the more just, equitable, accessible future so many of us strive to bring about. To help us make sense of the emerging giving practices, we are joined by Susan Hairston - a titan in the field of philanthropy, an elected official and a business owner.

In this conversation, we connect with Aviv Shalgi, founder of Solar Simplified, an exciting example of win-win-win thinking applied to the energy industry. By matching renters, homeowners, and small businesses who care about the environment and want to save money on their electricity bill with local solar farms through an easy and transparent signup process, Solar Simplified is making renewable energy accessible to all. It’s entrepreneurs like Aviv who are creating the “new normal” we’ve all been talking about for the last year. This type of win-win-win system design should inform how we approach the myriad of system disconnects we seek to mend in the months and years ahead. Learn More at www.SolarSimplified.com
