Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Show

In this conversation, Christopher Carter breaks down why most organizations overcomplicate their modernization efforts and how leaders can think about AI, cloud, and new technologies without losing their minds.What makes this episode different? Chris doesn't just talk theory. As a serial founder in the enterprise space, he shares the real challenges of leading through constant technological change and gives practical insights on creating long-term value rather than just adopting the latest tools. Whether you're a CEO facing pressure to modernize legacy systems or a leader trying to navigate the S/4 transition, this conversation will help you reframe transformation from burden to opportunity.  For more content, do visit:Chris’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-carter-885159Mugatu AI: https://mugatuai.comEmail Chris: [email protected] Now: https://catalystnow.netAstroX: https://www.angkasawan.org.myEmail Dr Faiz: [email protected] Faiz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gofaizCreating positive change, one episode at a time.This show is sponsored by Faiz Space. https://faizspace.org

What if AI understood not just what you do, but who you are? This episode explores the intersection of identity, technology, and leadership with two founders building something different in the AI space. Gillian Delaunay (CEO & Founder of NEON ID) and Erika Hanafin Austria (Co-Founder of NEON ID) discuss their personality-powered AI platform that helps people understand themselves, communicate better, and own their digital identity. From leadership transformation to real-world applications, they explore how identity shapes how we show up and why the next wave of AI might be more human than we think. Fresh from their Miami soft launch, Gillian and Erika share insights on behaviour change, personality science in technology, and whether NEON will actually change how people operate day-to-day. For more content, do visit:Gillian’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillianbrettErika’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikahanafinNEON ID: https://neonid.comEmail Gillian: [email protected] Erika: [email protected] Conference: https://specialevents.imd.org/products/22nd-annual-social-entrepreneurship-conferenceArt of ESG paper: https://www.igi-global.com/chapter/the-art-of-esg/405923Catalyst Now: https://catalystnow.netAstroX: https://www.angkasawan.org.myEmail Dr Faiz: [email protected] Faiz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gofaizCreating positive change, one episode at a time.This show is sponsored by Faiz Space. https://faizspace.org

What if the real impact of funding isn’t just in what it supports, but in the cost of how it’s deployed? Dr Nadait Gebremedhan rejoins the show to share the thinking behind Toll the Funder Footprint Initiative, a movement examining whether funding processes create a net positive or negative impact on society. Rather than focusing only on outcomes, this approach looks at the footprint of capital itself, from the conditions it imposes to the hidden costs placed on the very organisations it aims to support. In this conversation, we explore how funding structures can unintentionally limit impact, the often-overlooked burden on social ventures, and how funders can better align their capital to truly enable change.For more content, do visit:Dr Nadait’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadaitgebremedhenHagush: https://www.hagush.orgToll: https://fundingfootprint.org/Funding Footprint Calculator: https://catalystnow.net/funding-footprint-calculatorCatalyst Now: https://catalystnow.netAstroX: https://www.angkasawan.org.myEmail Dr Faiz: [email protected] Faiz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gofaiz  Creating positive change, one episode at a time.This show is sponsored by Faiz Space. https://faizspace.org

What if the clean energy breakthrough isn’t new infrastructure, but old oil wells?Kemp Gregory, Co-Founder and CEO of Renewell Energy, is converting idle oil wells into gravity-powered energy storage systems to support renewable power at scale. In this episode, we explore an important truth about the energy transition: it isn’t about starting everything anew. Instead, it’s about thoughtfully building on what’s already in place. We dive into the founder’s journey behind the technology, from introducing a bold idea into a deeply entrenched industry to navigating regulatory friction and investor scepticism. Kemp shares the realities of building in climate tech: earning trust, securing policy support, and proving that existing infrastructure can be repurposed into scalable assets.  This is a conversation about doing the hard work of transition, not just talking about it.For more content, visit: Kemp’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kemp-gregoryRenewell Website: https://renewellenergy.comEmail Kemp: [email protected] Now: https://catalystnow.netAstroX: https://www.angkasawan.org.myEmail Dr Faiz: [email protected] Faiz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gofaiz  Creating positive change, one episode at a time.Faiz Space Foundation sponsors this show. https://faizspace.org
