New World in the Making

40+ Conversations. One Course. A New World in the Making. | Adriana Sánchez UebelhoerThis one is a little different.For the first time, I am not the one asking the questions. My colleague and collaborator Beatriz Paniego Béjar sits in the host seat, and I get to be the one reflecting. On a year of conversations. On what I've learned. On why we built what we built. And on what's coming next.New World in the Making is turning one. And after more than 40 conversations with people working at the edges of this transition, something became clear: the knowledge was there, but not everyone has the time or the bandwidth to sit with 40+ hours of dense, rich, sometimes unsettling conversations. So we asked ourselves, what if we distilled all of it into something people could actually move through together?That's how Become a Maker was born.An 8-week course structured around the 5 forces of change I kept hearing across every single conversation, no matter whether I was talking to an ocean engineer, an energy economist, a philosopher, or a spiritual thinker. They were all describing the same transition from different angles.The 5 forces we go through together:Macro Systems and Geopolitics: money, debt, the fracturing dollar-based order, CBDCs, Bitcoin, and why the system we've always known is crumblingTechnology and AI: what it means when intelligence itself gets automated, who controls it, and what's emerging at the edgesOrganizations: how we organize ourselves is changing, from steward ownership to teal organizations to entirely new social contractsNature and Regeneration: what it looks like to step back into alignment with natural systems and the logic of abundanceConsciousness and Self: where it all lands, in us, in how we show up, and in what we choose to buildEach week includes daily content capsules you can navigate in a busy life, live sessions with some of the most listened-to guests from the podcast, and a community to go through all of it with together. Because this is a lot to hold alone.Special guests joining us inside the course include Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow, Daniel Luca from Eden Block, Lisa Gill from Leadermorphosis, Ismael Dainehine from EverGive, and others who have shaped how I understand this moment.This isn't a five-step solution. It's a map. And it's for anyone who senses that something isn't adding up, who feels both scared and strangely alive in this moment, and who wants to move from confusion into clarity and from clarity into action.Become a Maker starts May 18th. Five spots available at a reduced price for anyone not in the right financial moment right now.→ Sign up & find out about the course at: https://newworldinthemaking.com/courses → Listen & subscribe: https://newworldinthemaking.com→ Read more on Substack: https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page

In this episode of New World in the Making, I sit down with Melina, a first-generation Greek-American who grew up in San Francisco, studied human rights and international affairs, worked at the UN, and has spent the last five years calling Athens home. Melina works at the intersection of philanthropy, systems change, and regenerative thinking. She's building Kali Polis Project, an urban climate lab in Greece connecting young people with local government. She's curating the Ministry of Regeneration track at the World Beautiful Business Forum in Athens this May. And she's founding Zymosi, which means fermentation in Greek, a venture built around slow, trust-building dinners that bring together changemakers who don't yet know each other.We talk about:What climate citizenship actually means and why you don't need to be a climate scientist to practice itThe iceberg model, leverage points, and what systems change tools actually look like in practiceScarcity versus abundance: and how shifting that mental model changes everything, from economics to relationshipsThe two-loop model and what it means to grieve an old system while building a new oneDoughnut Economics, regenerative finance, and what local governments are quietly already doingWhat resilient systems actually require and why redundancy matters more than specializationHow geopolitical crises are, paradoxically, accelerating the shift toward localization and regenerationThe feminine in systems design and what matriarchal design principles have to offerHow to stay hopeful without being naive and what Melina does personally to keep goingAnd what a moment of glimmer looks like on a spring morning in Athens→ Listen & subscribe: https://newworldinthemaking.com→ Read more on Substack: https://substack.com/@newworldinthemaking?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page → Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00 About the World Beautiful Business Forum Taking place in Athens, May 7–10, 2025.

In this episode of New World in the Making, I sit down with Mônica Felício Fragoso, architect, urban planner, and co-founder of Shifted, a climate tech startup reimagining how the world stores electricity.Mônica spent 18 years in the automotive industry before making the leap into the startup world. And what she's building now reflects everything that experience taught her about systems, scale, and what it actually takes to change the physical world.Shifted's technology combines two of the most proven energy systems we already have, pumped hydro and compressed air, into one long-duration storage solution that uses no rare materials, no lithium, no cobalt. Just steel, water, and air. It's a radical simplification hiding a sophisticated answer to one of the hardest problems in the energy transition: what do we do when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing?We talk about:How Shifted's hybrid pumped hydro and compressed air system actually worksWhy long-duration storage is the missing piece of the renewable energy puzzleWhat 18 years in automotive taught Mônica about designing systems that scaleThe leap from corporate career to co-founding a deep tech startupWhy building with abundant materials matters for a truly global energy transitionThe role of heat management in making compressed air storage efficientWhat it means to design something for the public good, not just the marketThe deeper question underneath all of it: what kind of world are we building?For anyone curious about the energy transition, long-duration storage, climate tech, systems design, and what it looks like when an architect decides to redesign the grid.→ Listen & subscribe: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00About Shifted Shifted develops long-duration energy storage by combining pumped hydro and compressed air, a mineral-free, scalable alternative to lithium batteries designed to make renewable energy fully dispatchable. → Connect with Mônica Felício Fragoso on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monica-felicio-fragoso/ → Learn more about Shifted: https://shifted-energy.com/→ Shifted on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shifted-energy-storage/ ⚠️ DisclaimerAll content shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of New World in the Making, I talk with Rayan Kassis, CEO and co-founder of AED Energy, about the future of energy and what's actually changing right now.Rayan's company has developed thermal battery systems that store electricity as heat—delivering 6 to 32 hours of clean power at 10x cheaper than lithium batteries. They're deploying these systems in Nigeria, replacing diesel generators that burn millions of liters of fuel every year. This is about proving that renewables can work, at scale, 24/7.We question the systems we come from and explore what's emerging in this new energy landscape.We talk about:How thermal batteries work and why they're so much cheaperThe real barriers to scaling renewables—regulation, financing, industrial resistanceWhy decentralized energy changes everything for resilience and accessThe current moment in the Middle East and what oil dependence really costsHow geopolitics and policy shape the energy transitionEnergy storage as the key to 100% renewable systemsLeadership and human creativity in uncertain timesThis conversation brought things down to reality—showing what's possible when we start building instead of waiting.This is for anyone curious about energy transition, clean tech, decentralized systems, geopolitics, and how innovation is reshaping power—literally and politically.→ Listen & subscribe: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00About AED Energy StorageAED Energy develops ultra-low-cost thermal battery systems that enable 24/7 clean energy by storing electricity as heat.→ Connect with Rayan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rayankassis/→ Learn more about AED Energy: https://aed.energy/ ⚠️ DisclaimerAll content shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this conversation, I sit down with Lisa Gill, facilitator, coach, and host of Leadermorphosis, to explore what it really means to move toward radically decentralized organizations and why this shift is as much inner as it is structural.We explore why traditional hierarchies are struggling, how consent-based and advice processes change the way decisions are made, and why trust and accountability are not opposites but deeply interconnected. We also talk about psychological safety, discomfort as a catalyst for growth, and the inner maturity required to work without control.This episode is for anyone who has felt that something about work no longer fits, who senses that typical hierarchy isn’t the answer, or who is curious about what it takes to create organizations that are more human, responsible, and alive.→ Listen & subscribe on your favorite platform: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00Lisa Gill is a facilitator, coach, and organizational practitioner specializing in decentralized organizations, self-management, and inner development.

What does it mean to build a business rooted in connection, responsibility, and synchronicity?In this conversation, I sit down with Ved Krishna — environmental advocate, entrepreneur, and Chairman of PAKKA (formerly Yash Papers) — to explore what it takes to reimagine an entire industry from the inside out.We talk about upbringing, ego, failure, and the invisible forces that shape our decisions. Ved shares how synchronicity has guided his life, why trust is the foundation of any meaningful organization, and how self-management can unlock innovation.
