The circular economy demands a transformative shift from a linear "take, make, waste" model to one that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature. This episode

The circular economy demands a transformative shift from a linear "take, make, waste" model to one that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature. This episode explores how data and digital technologies are disrupting the status quo, showcasing innovations that redefine interactions between producers, retailers, and customers. We travel to Prague and London to hear from trailblazers implementing and scaling these solutions.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity promoting this vision, invites you to learn more about their work and connect with them.

"Two American Families: 1991-2024" is a "knockout documentary" (The New York Times) chronicling the economic struggles of two Milwaukee families—one Black, one white—over three decades. From 1991 to 2024, the Stanleys and Neumanns have battled poverty amidst a changing U.S. economy, marked by global shifts and lower-wage work, raising unsettling questions about America's economic future.

With profound intimacy, this FRONTLINE film reveals how these families and their now-grown children have navigated six presidential administrations, facing continuous challenges. As Terry Neumann notes, "It's like we haven't come very far," yet Jackie Stanley declares, "I won't give up." Directed by Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes, it offers a powerful window into enduring hardship.

The National Turtle Lodge Elders’ and Knowledge Keepers’ Council calls for a National Day of Prayer on Sunday, June 6, 2021, at various times across Canada. This collective prayer responds to the tragic discovery of 215 children at a Kamloops residential school, honoring all affected by the residential school system.

Elders and Knowledge Keepers will lead ceremonies, lifting Sacred Pipes and lighting Sacred Fires, praying in Original Languages. Their aim is healing, fostering a new relationship based on love and kindness, and supporting today's children through ancestral ways.

All are invited to join this Sunday by participating in their own traditions. A special gathering at Turtle Lodge in July will seek further spiritual guidance for the country's path forward.

During the reboot of the world's economy, Geoff Mulgan, CEO of the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA) and a visiting professor, proposes a transformative approach. Instead of allocating bailout money to failing old industries, he suggests utilizing stimulus funds to establish new, socially responsible companies, aiming to improve the world.

Mulgan also questions the effectiveness of GDP as a measurement tool for a new, sustainable economy. His insights are available on http://www.ted.com.

Christof Koch is a prominent neuroscientist focused on the neural bases of consciousness. Born in 1956, he earned his Ph.D. in biophysics after studying physics and philosophy. His distinguished career includes extensive research on the brain, particularly the visual cortex, and developing theories of consciousness. He notably collaborated with Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA's structure.

Koch served as a professor at Caltech for decades before becoming Chief Scientist and President of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, where he led pioneering brain mapping efforts. An influential figure, he has authored several books and speaks widely, advocating for a scientifically grounded approach to understanding the mind.
