About Equal Futures

Equal Futures is a podcast about the conversations we should be having about what comes next in business and in life. Hosted by Lea Jovy — non-executive board member, interim executive, and founder of Mission Equality CIC — each episode explores the questions our institutions, sectors, and leaders keep avoiding: the distinction between what we say we want, and what we're actually building.

episode The Culture Problem - Why Your Values Aren’t Working (Yet) artwork

The Culture Problem - Why Your Values Aren’t Working (Yet)

Why do so many progressive organisations - those that talk about equality, decolonisation and doing things differently - still end up recreating the same toxic workplace dynamics they set out to dismantle? In this episode, Lea Jovy pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood levers of systemic change: organisational culture. Drawing on years of work with leadership teams across the UK, US and Europe, she exposes how even the most values-driven organisations can drift into misalignment - and what it really takes to live your values, not just list them. From the hidden friction between personal and organisational values, to the recruitment-retention trap of “progressive” workplaces, Lea unpacks the deeper systemic and psychological forces shaping culture inside modern organisations. If you’ve ever wondered why your team feels off, why your impact has stalled, or why “radical transparency” can backfire, this is your wake-up call. Listen to learn: * Why culture happens whether you design it or not * How individual misalignment quietly undermines collective change * The invisible cycle of hiring idealists and burning them out * What real values alignment looks like—and how to operationalise it This episode is a must-listen for founders, leaders, and change-makers serious about building organisations that actually embody equality, not just aspire to it.

episode The Myth of Ownership (And How Capitalism Taught Us to Possess, Not Protect) artwork

The Myth of Ownership (And How Capitalism Taught Us to Possess, Not Protect)

We talk about “owning” everything - homes, companies, even our children’s futures - as if ownership were the default 'natural'. But what if this very idea is the root of our disconnection from each other, and from the planet itself? In this episode, Lea Jovy dismantles one of capitalism’s most sacred constructs: ownership. From colonial history to corporate boardrooms, she traces how ownership has shaped our systems, language and relationships - and argues for a radical shift toward guardianship and stewardship instead. Through the lens of the individual, the collective and the systemic, Lea explores how this shift could redefine how we parent, lead, build organisations and live on the Earth itself. Listen to learn: * Why “ownership” is a colonial construct - and why it still rules us. * The illusion of security and control it creates. * How language like “my house,” “my team,” or “my child” reinforces hierarchy. * What stewardship offers as a more equal, sustainable alternative. A provocative reframe for anyone serious about reimagining life beyond capitalism.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
