Play in New WindowDownload

So much passes us by, unnoticed. We multi-task, switch between screens, work faster. When was the last time you paused to consider a beautifully made object or stunning natural landscape? Yet this is when our spirits lift, our soul is restored.

In this show entrepreneur, author and speaker Alan Moore invites us to rethink not only what we produce -whether it’s a website, a handmade chair, or a business- but how and why. We discuss examples from Alan’s book “Do Design – Why Beauty is Key to Everything”.

We discuss:

Purpose and meaning in business

How younger generations are driving change

How Artificial intelligence can be harnessed for good

A new hope for humanity

How beauty and meaning can change the output of anything

How Innovation should embrace failure

EP 71: Fairtrade meets Blockchain, Fairchain Coffee – Moyee Coffee

Play in New WindowDownload

Shane Reilly is co-founder of Moyee Coffee in Ireland alongside Killian Stokes. Moyee Coffee is a social business supplying Ethiopian speciality coffee to offices, independent retailers and online subscribers since September 2016.  

Their approach to changing the coffee industry is called FairChain, which is about leaving more value, profit and jobs in coffee-producing countries like Ethiopia. 

Since the early November, Moyee has been running a pilot project in Ethiopia with blockchain pioneers bext360 to prove more than ever that coffee is capable of leading the way to a more honest, fairer society.

The first ‘block’ in the chain has already begun and you can follow real-time payments to Ethiopian farmers for their coffee cherries. This is nothing less than a revolution and the start of a project that will bring an unprecedented level of transparency in a profoundly unfair industry.

The bext360 blockchain project will mean by next year all Moyee’s coffee will be fully blockchain-traceable from the washing station in Ethiopia to our retail and office customers in Europe.

On this week’s innovation show, we talk to founder and pioneer of Holacracy® Brian J. Robertson.

Corporate structures are broken and rely on managerial hierarchies and organizational structures developed for the 19th and 20th century.
Holacracy is a revolutionary self-management practice used by companies, like Zappos, Precision Nutrition and the David Allen Company and developed for the way business is done today.

Brian is an experienced entrepreneur, organizational pioneer, and author of the book Holacracy: The New Management System for a Rapidly Changing World. He is most well-known for his work developing Holacracy, a self-management practice for running purpose-driven, responsive companies. Brian currently works as a business partner at HolacracyOne, the organization he launched to steward the Holacracy practice and assist other organizations seeking to adopt it. Holacracy has been adopted by over 1,000 companies around the world to date.

We talk about his background, why he pioneered Holacracy, who thrives in this system and how you can get started.
