Key Takeaways/Calls to Action:For Individuals: Actively experiment in your career to find genuine fulfillment. Consciously manage your "personal overhead" to maximize your agility and options. Consider how your time, talent, and resources can be directed toward solving pressing global challenges.For Innovators & Entrepreneurs: Beyond celebrating disruption, take full accountability for the "second-order effects" and broader societal impacts of your innovations.For Society & Policy Leaders: Proactively implement "hospice care" strategies to support individuals and communities affected by systemic transitions. Structure incentives and "bounties" to accelerate vital innovations, outcompeting entrenched, inferior old systems. Critically, understand that the energy transition is an inevitable "when," and global leadership will fall to those who embrace and invest in this future now.Suggested ResourcesCIBO Technologies – Scaling regenerative incentivesXPRIZE (for Carbon Removal) – Innovation through competitionSpark Global – Climate innovation with a systems lens Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Key Concepts & Themes:Pre-Copernican Economics: The central metaphor for the outdated, pre-Copernican economic models that insist on globalization and scale above all else, despite evidence that localized systems are often more resilient and competitive.The "Scale" Fallacy: The conversation challenges the common wisdom that to "scale" a business means to make it as big as possible. Instead, Moose argues for finding the right scale for the right mission.Investment Crowdfunding: A revolutionary shift in securities law that now allows everyday people to invest small amounts of money in the local businesses they love, historically a prohibitively expensive process. In just eight years, it has directed $2 billion to 7,000 companies.The Service Economy: The observation that modern economies have flipped from being goods-dominant to service-dominant (70% of expenditures). This inherently favors local, relationship-based businesses over distant corporations.Comparative Advantage Re-examined: The hosts and Shuman break down David Ricardo's foundational economic theory, pointing out its critical flaws in a world where capital, but not labor, is mobile.BIMBY ("Begin In My Backyard"): A positive reframing of the NIMBY concept, suggesting that global change and innovation are most powerful when they start with local action and problem-solving.Suggested Reading & ListeningPut Your Money Where Your Life Is – Michael H.

Our guest, Robert Osborne, principal of The Osborne Group, brings 25 years of experience working with nonprofits and funders. Together, we explore:Why most philanthropic money never reaches grassroots, community-led organizationsHow donor-advised funds and endowments lock away billions while urgent needs go unmetThe limits of “charity” and the need to center justice insteadWhether measuring impact helps or distracts from real changeAnd yes… how toile curtains and a fictional band called The Goody Two-Shoes Subversives tie it all togetherFrom critique to creativity, we imagine what a more democratic, community-centered, and accountable philanthropic system could look like — and what would need to shift to make it real. Editorial Producer: Kyriaki (Claire) LampidouProducer: Srijan Banik Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What kind of collaboration, they ask, enables people to create solutions that address pressing problems around them? When asked about Enthela’s award-winning endeavor to keep more nitrogen in the soil using bacteria, Nedev argues that he’s doing this now only because of a window Van Mensel helped open for him. The two explain how this window opened up possibilities not only for him, but also for innovators around the world taking on the toughest problems human beings face. Strikingly, they focus less on their own endeavors than on what it takes to open that window for more of us. What starts as an inquiry into how to collaborate with people from other professional backgrounds, quickly opens up into a vital conversation relevant to people anywhere who want to tackle the crises around them. Tune in to discover how intentional collaboration can lead to unexpected yet transformative outcomes, and shift who gets to shape the future.______________________ResourcesEffectuation: https://effectuation.org/Melodies for Palestine - RebelBase: https://app.rebelbase.co/project/3614______________________Episode SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network______________________For more podcast stories from What If Instead?

Lorraine Smith reflects on her decades of experience consulting with companies with efforts to do some good. What would it take, she asks, to create an economy in service to life? For those of us aiming to do something for the planet, choosing to buy more ‘sustainable’ products can give us a sense of agency. But what if, to effect change, we need to change our model more fundamentally? Smith has developed a methodology for beyond the claims organizations make, when they say they’re going green. Called “Matereality,” (material + reality), it’s a detective’s guide anyone can use to figure out what companies and industries are really doing.______________________ResourcesMatereality: https://www.blorrainesmith.com/materealityJoe Brewer’s Design School for Regenerating Earth: https://design-school-for-regenerating-earth.mn.co/______________________Episode SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network______________________For more podcast stories from What If Instead?

In a recent episode of the Audio Signals podcast, hosts Marco Ciappelli, and his guests Alejandro Juárez Crawford and Miriam Plavin-Masterman, dive into the rich territory of the newest venture on ITSPmagazine: the "What If Instead" podcast. This new podcast promises to explore the power of speculative thinking and problem-solving in confronting the world's most pressing issues.The Genesis of "What If Instead"Alejandro Juárez Crawford, co-founder of RebelBase, and Miriam Plavin-Masterman, an Associate Professor of Business Administration, use their platform to ask pivotal questions that drive the essence of innovation. Their journey on the "What If Instead" podcast is about more than just generating new ideas; it's an exploration into how we can empower individuals to see themselves as agents of change, capable of writing their own heroic narratives.Refocusing the Antenna on Unsung HeroesThe conversation highlighted the podcast’s ethos of shifting focus away from traditional heroes of innovation to those enabling others to become protagonists in their own right. This involved repositioning the metaphorical antenna, concentrating not on known narratives but on the untold stories brewing in every corner of the world. It's about setting the stage for unsung heroes to redefine what's possible in their communities.Empowerment through Local Problem SolvingMiriam Plavin-Masterman emphasized the significance of "For Us, By Us" topics. The podcast aims to spotlight individuals around the globe who are not just solving problems but enabling communities to discover solutions organically, rooting innovation in local dynamics and cultures. This approach challenges the convention of parachuting solutions into communities, instead encouraging a bottom-up method where insights and innovations are homegrown.Tales of Global ImpactGuests on the "What If Instead" podcast span a wide array of backgrounds and disciplines, from Ghanaian entrepreneurs to technology innovators in South Africa and social activists in Kyrgyzstan. These stories underline the universal appeal and necessity of creative problem-solving, spotlighting both the diversity and unity in tackling global challenges.Who Is Listening?The podcast caters to a burgeoning convergence of listeners drawn from various sectors, united by a common interest in social innovation, climate change, and the transformation of societal systems. This audience is keen on hearing how individuals, often working with limited resources, are crafting solutions that promise a more inclusive, sustainable future.The Art of Storytelling in InnovationTowards the end of their conversation, the trio touched upon the crucial role of storytelling in innovation. It's through compelling narratives that innovators can connect with a broader audience, garnering support for causes and solutions that might otherwise remain in the shadows. Storytelling, as suggested by their discussion, is not just a tool for engagement but a vehicle for inspiring action and change.ConclusionThe "What If Instead" podcast, hosted by Alejandro Juárez Crawford and Miriam Plavin-Masterman, stands as a beacon of speculative thinking in a world often constrained by conventional wisdom. It pushes the envelope on what it means to innovate, inviting listeners to ponder, "What if?", and more importantly, "Why not?". This evocative call to action encourages us all to tap into our latent potential to be not just spectators but active participants in the stories of change unfolding around us.By tuning into their discussions, we are reminded that every individual is capable of being a catalyst for transformation. The "What If Instead" podcast is not just an exploration of ideas; it's an invitation to join a movement geared towards a more equitable and innovative future._____________________________Resources_____________________________For more podcast stories from What If Instead?
