We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Sam Spurlin is a partner and first employee at The Ready, a future of work consultancy. Over the past eight years he has partnered with and advised many organizations on their journey toward more people positive, complexity conscious, and effective ways of working. He has worked with senior leaders and their teams across many organizations and industries in the Fortune 500. He led The Ready’s exploration into DAOs in late 2021 through early 2023. Prior to joining The Ready he consulted with David Allen on the updated edition of his bestselling book, Getting Things Done, and published with Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on the future of work and positive psychology. All organizations, even decentralized and autonomous ones, have “operating systems” that describe how they work and what they feel like to participate in. These operating systems are the foundational assumptions, principles, and practices that manifest in everything we might call “organizational culture” — and they can be designed. Using the OS Canvas as the primary lens, how and why are DAOs suffering from many of the same challenges traditional organizations face? What might the organizational operating system framework tell us DAOs may be uniquely situated to do better than traditional organizations? And what might it take to make that happen?…

Modern Slavery and the Private Sector with Matt Friedman Hosted by Daniel Ospina - RnDAO Fri, Aug 26, 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM PDT Every four seconds, another person enters a human trafficking situation somewhere in the world. It is estimated that there are over 40 million people in modern-day slavery today – more than any other time in history. In the effort to design organisations to empower individuals and "liberate them" it feels important to understand the big issue of slavery in corporations as it will probably give us interesting insights and considerations for DAO design. To make sense of this important issue and its relevance to today’s organizations, Matt Friedman will offer a comprehensive update on this topic. His talk will explore the following: - The changing human trafficking paradigm; - The relationship between human trafficking and modern slavery; - A comprehensive summary of global trends and patterns; - An update on emerging legislation; - A description of the relationship between modern slavery and ESG. - A detailed description of the relationship between human trafficking and business risk; and - A description of tangible, practical tools and approaches used by corporations throughout the world to help identify and address this potential problem. Matt Friedman is an international human trafficking expert with more than 30 years’ experience. He is CEO of The Mekong Club, an organization of Hong Kong’s leading businesses which have joined forces to help end all forms of modern slavery. Mr. Friedman previously worked for USAID and the United Nations in over 30 countries. Mr. Friedman offers technical advice to numerous governments, banks and corporations working to eliminate all forms of modern slavery and is the author of twelve books. In 2017, Mr. Friedman won Asia’s prestigious “Communicator of the Year” Gold Award. Matt's new Penguin book, WHERE WERE YOU?: A PROFILE OF MODERN SLAVERY, has been published and is available worldwide. In this memoir, he explores the early days of meeting modern slavery survivors and recounts true stories of enslavement in Asia. He recalls painful moments that literally changed his life, reflect back on the different approaches to fighting human trafficking over the last 35 years and give an account of the early beginnings of the fight against modern slavery before the phrase “human trafficking” was adopted. As he reflects on the deeply personal lessons learned, his first and foremost goal for this book is to motivate more people to join him in helping to fight this global crime. Here is a short fireside chat (9 minutes) to describe why he wrote the book. Note the proceeds from this book will go to fighting human trafficking. …

Joshua Davila, the writer/podcaster known as "The Blockchain Socialist" and author of the recent book "Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It," spoke with us on September 29th. Over the last decade, blockchains and crypto have opened up a new terrain for radical action. It is not surprising, however, that the crypto space has also become overrun by unscrupulous marketing, theft, and scams. The problem is real, but it wasn't a new one. One of the major reasons was the way in which blockchain/crypto were framed through representational models of old models imposed on a new medium. This had been detrimental to the development of the technology and made it easily co-opted by nefarious forces. In this talk, Joshua talked about how this had happened, how to recognize it, and how to think radically differently about blockchain.…

2 years тому57:54

57:54

Matt Barney, Ph.D. is an Organizational Psychologist, serial entrepreneur and founder of XLNC, a consulting, training and psychometrics firm that solves difficult business problems with psychological science and innovative technology. Previously, he was the Founder and CEO of LeaderAmp, an award-winning platform for expert and Artificially Intelligent coaching and assessment until May of 2022. In his 25+ year career in multinationals such as AT&T, Motorola, Merck and Infosys, Dr. Barney has innovated interdisciplinary science and technology resulting in four patents, ten books, 43 peer-reviewed works and over 200 keynotes. In 2020, LeaderAmp won the AI Award for Human Capital Development. In 2018, his team won two competitive international awards from the Society for Industrial-Organizational Psychology and the Association of Test Publishers. Since 2014, he has served on the Business Affairs committee of the board of not-for-profit scientific publisher Annual Reviews. He holds a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the University of Tulsa. Satoshi’s original goal was to create technology that overcomes the historical disasters of centralized, untrustworthy social systems. DAOs have potential to change that but from Mt. Gox, Three Arrows Capital, to rugpulls and FTX, human sources of risk are still limiting the full potential. This presentation will briefly review Enterprise Risk Management history before introducing the relevant interdisciplinary organizational science of individual, team, and organizational risk management. It will introduce meta-analytically supported evidence from traditional organizations that likely generalizes to DAO management. At the same time, it will review other findings such as Cialdini’s ethical persuasion science, which is likely even more important in a DAO than in a traditional firm. The latest, metrologically-oriented, objective psychometric methods are ideal to detect and mitigate these risks in DAOs, but when these computer-adaptive assessments are deployed on Web 2.0 infrastructure, they suffer from all the traditional limitations of legacy cloud/mobile technology. This is unhelpful for realizing the full potential of DAOs. The presentation will close with a vision for research that ultimately results in novel smart contracts, and multisig NFTs to systematically assess and mitigate these organizational risks in ways that are immutable, appropriately transparent, censorship resistant, and effective in reducing risks and potentially helping DAOs become “antifragile”.…

Tim is also a Part-Time Associate Teaching Professor at Parsons the New School of Design where he teaches trend analysis and design strategy. He is the co-inventor of a patented methodology of Culture Mapping that analyzes patterns in language using computational linguistics and machine learning to identify and visualize trend narratives and forecasts. His work helps companies understand and leverage the dynamics of cultural change for a broad range of innovation challenges from new product and brand development to horizon scanning. Clients include Honda, KEF Acoustics, IKEA, Nike, Hilton Worldwide, and Verizon. Tim is also a frequent speaker on topics related to culture, society, and trends and has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, USA Today, Vogue, Fast Company, and Quartz. Culture is a story system. Today's challenges require a social science approach to analyzing culture and applying actions in sync with the natural cycle of power and dissent, from protest to policy. We can see the results of shortsighted and top-surface methods to cultural insight imploding around us. From greenwashing in the midst of a climate "permacrisis", to the commercial laziness of relying on celebrity influencers for relevance that quickly devolves into toxic hate speech. Culture matters. But our strategies need to reflect that. In this talk, Tim will explain how the concept of Culture Mapping can help us understand the system of language and stories and speculate and cultivate divergent possible futures. New prompt engineering tools like Midjourney are rooted in language and cultural bias. If we can unlock the linguistic system of culture we can take a more a more generative yet expansive approach to make our future more sustainable.…

Dave started work in an NGO post-University and then moved on to HR & Training in the late 70s when he started working with computers. That together with a diploma from The Certified Accountants got him a job as Development Accountant in the same firm where he headed up the Treasury function and was responsible for computerisation. An MBA in financial management saw him move into consultancy and software designing decision support systems in what became Data Sciences where he became a General Manager (creating MURCO) and the Corporate Business Development Manager where he created the Genus Programme (an integration of JAD/RAD, Object Orientation and Legacy Management) which was one of the main components in the turn around of that company. IBM acquired the company 1997 and, after that, his more public career started. At IBM, he was a director of The Institute for Knowledge Management and the Cynefin Center, and in 2004 became the founder and chief scientific officer of The Cynefin Company. The Cynefin Co has worked for almost two decades in partnership with academics, artists and complexity scientists and has been taking a fresh look at the whole process of design. Bringing the evolutionary concept of exaltation (radical repurposing of traits) and work on weak signal detection for unarticulated need mapping representing some of the outputs of this process.

Lana is a Filipina, now based in the Netherlands, who designs spaces for “KAPWA” (shared inner selves) to flourish. She guides founders, community leaders and changemakers in re-imagining, designing and facilitating spaces for belonging, liberation and healing. Lana is the author of the book: Community Builder Designing Communities for Change and she is also the chairperson of the Neurodiversity Foundation, and co-founders of Community Rituals and Neurodiversity Education Academy. Engagement is a big buzzword, and it's one of the main metrics that we, as community builders, weavers, founders, measure our communities. Asking our members to be highly engaged has a pitfall - It carries with it an expectation that there is one right way where members are expected to participate, a specific tempo or energy that people need to bring in to the community or organization. I prefer to see engagement as A SLIDER. We need to provide differentiated means for people to engage in ways that are nurturing for them. Engagement means empowering people to connect, contribute, activate, support and respond in ways that are regenerative. This means we take into account the depth, breadth and focus that is possible for an individual in a given moment.…

RnDAO Talks Ep 13 | Matt Friedman: Modern Slavery and the Private Sector 1:01:05

Every four seconds, another person enters a human trafficking situation somewhere in the world. It is estimated that there are over 40 million people in modern-day slavery today – more than any other time in history. In the effort to design organisations to empower individuals and "liberate them" it feels important to understand the big issue of slavery in corporations as it will probably give us interesting insights and considerations for DAO design. To make sense of this important issue and its relevance to today’s organizations, Matt Friedman will offer a comprehensive update on this topic. His talk will explore the following: - The changing human trafficking paradigm; - The relationship between human trafficking and modern slavery; - A comprehensive summary of global trends and patterns; - An update on emerging legislation; - A description of the relationship between modern slavery and ESG. - A detailed description of the relationship between human trafficking and business risk; and - A description of tangible, practical tools and approaches used by corporations throughout the world to help identify and address this potential problem. Matt Friedman is an international human trafficking expert with more than 30 years’ experience. He is CEO of The Mekong Club, an organization of Hong Kong’s leading businesses which have joined forces to help end all forms of modern slavery. Mr. Friedman previously worked for USAID and the United Nations in over 30 countries. Mr. Friedman offers technical advice to numerous governments, banks and corporations working to eliminate all forms of modern slavery and is the author of twelve books. In 2017, Mr. Friedman won Asia’s prestigious “Communicator of the Year” Gold Award. The Mekong Club is one of the first not-for-profit organizations of its kind in Asia to use a ‘business-to-business’ approach to fight slavery. Bridging the gap between the public and private sectors, the Mekong Club helps companies of all sizes to understand the complexities of human trafficking and to reduce their vulnerability within their supply chains/business environment. Together with business partners, the Mekong Club is spearheading innovative and strategic projects to achieve a slave-free world. Matt's new Penguin book, WHERE WERE YOU?: A PROFILE OF MODERN SLAVERY, has been published and is available worldwide. In this memoir, he explores the early days of meeting modern slavery survivors and recounts true stories of enslavement in Asia. He recalls painful moments that literally changed his life, reflect back on the different approaches to fighting human trafficking over the last 35 years and give an account of the early beginnings of the fight against modern slavery before the phrase “human trafficking” was adopted. As he reflects on the deeply personal lessons learned, his first and foremost goal for this book is to motivate more people to join him in helping to fight this global crime.…
