In today’s episode, together with Founder and Creator of Brand Therapy, Jaime Schwarz, we will explore these questions.

Realising UN SDGs through Inner Development Goals (IDGs) with Paula DosSantos Papel
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a balanced template with which we might collectively address the global challenge of creating a sustainable future by paying attention to the economic, environmental, and social enablers of change. But what skills could act as valuable enablers to achieving the goals? In this episode of the podcast, Consultant, Analyst, Project Leader Paula dos Santos Papel and I will explore how the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) align with the UN SDGs. We will shed light on how these human skills and qualities differ from traditional leadership traits and their transformative potential in navigating an increasingly complex, uncertain world. We will explore how IDGs empower us to address existential risks while unlocking the immense possibilities of our shared future.

The Future of Biophilic Design with Vanessa Champion

The Future of Biophilic Design with Vanessa Champion
In the world of design, a spectrum of methodologies shapes how we build and move. From modernist minimalism to cutting-edge parametric design, each approach brings its own priorities—efficiency, aesthetics, or technology. Among these, two methodologies take their cues directly from nature: biophilic design and biomimicry. While they share a connection to the natural world, they couldn’t be more distinct in their purpose and application. In today’s episode, Director of Vanessa Champion Media and Founding Editor of The Journal of Biophilic Design, Vanessa Champion and I will explore biophilic design—a practice that goes beyond just mimicking nature's mechanics to fostering a relationship between human beings and their environments.

The Future of Connected Entertainment Experiences (part 1) with Rachel Noonan
In this episode of the podcast, in collaboration with Sylvia Gallusser and Silicon Humanism, we are going to explore “The Future of Connected Entertainment Experiences”. "Connected Entertainment" refers to a new paradigm of interactive, personalised, and networked experiences across digital media. It represents a shift from passive consumption of content to dynamic engagement, where complimentary technologies collaborate to deliver more intelligent, adaptive, and connected entertainment. For example, AI enhances content personalisation by analysing user preferences and behaviours to create customised experiences, while immersive technologies make these experiences more engaging by blurring the line between physical and digital realities. Entertainment systems can be networked, allowing for shared, real-time interactions between users globally, often integrating social elements, multiplayer platforms, and virtual communities. To explore the Future of Connected Entertainment Experiences, Sylvia and I are joined by Forward Studio Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer Rachel Noonan.
