Kristina Skierka

TLDRIf you're short on time here are seven minutes of soundbites from difference maker Kristina Skierka - theSan Francisco based founder and CEO of Power For All, a global campaign to provide universal energy access by 2025 to the 85% of the 1.1 billion people residing in rural areas who lack reliable energy. She's a beacon of inspiration, galvanizing governments, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs worldwide behind her mission. Kristina has fostered partnerships with over 300 collaborators, to launch pivotal decentralized renewable energy solutions from intricate mini-grids to expansive mobile solar farms across countries like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, India, Ethiopia, and Uganda; distributed renewable energy (DRE) solutions that have the potential to increase agricultural productivity, help decarbonize the food system, reduce greenhouse gases, and mitigate the worst impacts of global warming.With over two decades of expertise in the energy sector, Kristina's influence extends beyond her campaign. A prolific speaker and writer and as a testament to her global impact, Kristina serves on the United Nations’ Technical Advisory Group for SDG7 and in 2021 was appointed to the inaugural United Nations Food Systems Summit.This was recorded before last month's Climate Week in New York where Kristina hosted a panel and released a report that called for transitioning the $8 trillion food system out of fossil fuels and into renewable energy. Power for All’s research indicates that by updating just five key farming technologies for Africa's smallholder farmers, the continent could cut its emissions by10% and boost its economy by a staggering $24.5 billion.I hope you enjoy this deep dive into Kristina's inspiring journey, her visionary leadership, and the future of energy access globally.

 Kristina Skierka - Fueling Universal Energy Access by 2025

How do we encourage more people to accept help when it’s offered, and ask for help when it's needed? That is the big question this week’s guest difference maker Ashley Usiskin is focused on answering. With a successful career that spanned branding, marketing and start-ups across 4 countries, in early 2022 Ashley was diagnosed with lymphoma and a rare auto-immune hemolytic disease that required months of debilitating chemotherapy. This led to a life-changing and transformative experience; from being self-reliant and independent he was suddenly helpless requiring the help of others. This led to his realization that accepting help is a gift; since you give the chance for the help giver to experience joy, pride and the feel-good factor of supporting someone they care about. Ashley is now on a mission to change our perceptions of asking for help; transforming help rejectors to help receivers. In doing so he aims to enable people to realize that accepting help has a life-changing impact not only on their own livelihood but also on those who offer them help.  He is now working to offer practical tools to change mindsets and motivate us all to ‘Help yourself by helping each other’.

101: Theory of Enchantment In A Post Covid19 World

Arno Michaelis

Guest Overview Arno Michaelis was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, grew up in a caring loving family but the combination of being told he could achieve anything while witnessing his artistic mother’s suffering from dealing with her husband’s alcoholism drove him to bullying and vandalism at school; to by age seventeen, becoming deeply involved in the white power movement and a founding member of what became the largest Neo-Nazi skinhead organization in the world. For years he followed the path of violence until he was confronted at a McDonalds checkout by elderly African American lady with a smile and pointing at his swastika tattoo - “Saying that is not you, you are better than that”. That moment started his path to redemption.  This is a two parter. Part One Arno Michaelis recounts his early years and his descent into violence, and how a mass killing at a Sikh temple in 2012 led him to form a bond with Pardeep Singh Kaleka, whose father was murdered in the temple by a white supremacist gunman in a Milwaukee suburb. The gunman who killed Pardeep’s dad and five others, was a member of the white power group that Arno had founded years earlier. Part Two we cover Arno’s path away from extremism, his recent book with Pardeep Singh Kaleka -The Gift of Our Wounds, the work he is doing to promote the practice of peace, traveling, speaking and working with all kinds of reformed extremists to confront hateful ideologies through storytelling, fearless creativity and compassion.I hope you are inspired by the kindness, gratitude, and compassion of Arno Michaelis.Thanks Stephen Hecht for the recommendation. What we discuss?The impact of his upbringing. His Norwegian -Prussian heritage.The vision of his artistic mother .Arno’s Insurance salesman father. Growing up with loving parents who left him to run amok.Fueled by the continual praise from parents and teachers combined with him witnessing the suffering his mother, ignited anger in him and a destructive self image, driving his desire to cause pain and suffering to those around him.  The irony of loving hip-hop and being a white kid ahead of the trend before turning his attention to punk rock to help satisfy his desire to his desire to repulse people.The paradox of being popular and able to connect with any group but wishing to cause revulsion.How by starting his first punk band combined with his nihilistic view of the world and a fascination with Greek and Norse mythology and warrior self image became the gateway characteristics that led Anro Michaelis into the white supremacist movement.How Arno Michaelis willingly embraced the white supremacist narrative and how it enabled him to reject what he considered the status quo and growing multicultural trend, all he was really doing was trying to offend and ‘piss people off’.Laziness and blame in ideology.The parallels of the jihadist movement and White supremacy. The commonalities in any violent extremist narrative.How he is now connected to ex-extremists.How the murders by Wade Paige of seven in Wisconsin in 2012 led him to meet Pardeep Singh Kaleka. How they have developed a connection and have written a book together called the Gift in Our Hate.The process of forgiveness and why forgiveness is vengeance. His exhaustion and walking away from hate and using Rave culture as his gateway drug.His parents inability and willful denial of his activity.Haram as a commonality Social FeedsWebsite Instagram Facebook Youtube Twitter Links Punk Rock Deeyah Kahn Film Maker Deviate book Occam’s RazorArno Michaelis Gift of Our Wounds Gift of our Wounds youtube Serve to Unite Sharon Risher For a time such as this Fox Lane Prison Monster Ted x Talk Forgiveness Project HaramSikh Faith Hitler’s application to A...

This Week’s Guest If you missed last weeks‘ guest was Marcus G Miller. He was born and raised in Jersey, from a sax-playing accountant father and a schizophrenia suffering Mother, he graduated Harvard University, became a hedge fund trader before becoming a professional jazz musician and mathematician.Marcus has since performed at the Obama White House, Madison Square Garden, The World Economic Forum at Davos, The Montreux Jazz Festival, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and recently spoke at the TED Summit in Edinburgh. Marcus is a genuine polymath and is exploring the structural similarities between math, and music, to enable creative problem solvers to unlock their imagination and to ‘jam’ on the world’s toughest challenges.I hope you enjoy the intellectual curiosity and expansive imagination of Marcus G Miller.   The Podcast we Love Big Questions with Cal Fussman has been one of our weekly listens since Tim Ferris persuaded him to start one. We just caught up on some recent episodes and loved the interview with Muhammad Ali’s daughter Hana, three years after Ali’s passing.She talks about her dad and the book she has written called 'At Home With Muhammad Ali.The conversation opens a window into how life was like in the moments when the cameras weren’t around and his unique capacity to connect with the world.

057 - Recommendations For The Week

We are late with this week's digest, but we are living through unusual times. As we enter what, we are being told in the US, will be our Pearl Harbor moment, we are sharing some thought-provoking articles we’ve read and some uplifting, amusing videos that we found and some public service ads we are working with a london based creative duo. As we enter the Ignore The Productivity Pressure ‘Global catastrophes change the world, and this pandemic is very much akin to a major war. Even if we contain the Covid-19 crisis within a few months, the legacy of this pandemic will live with us for years, perhaps decades to come. It will change the way we move, build, learn, and connect. There is simply no way that our lives will resume as if this had never happened.” This excellent article in The Chronicle Aisha Ahmed shares her experiences of adapting to conditions of crisis.  The Moral Meaning of the Plague An essential piece in the NY Times reflects on the fact that we all have the power to decide how we react to this viral crisis. Referencing Victor Frankl Man’s Search for Meaning and his experience from the Holocaust reminds us that we don’t get to choose our difficulties. Still, we do have the freedom to select our responses, and in situations like this, meaning is a vital medication for the soul.Mental Health in The Time of CoronavirusThis article asks - would you be willing to describe how the coronavirus is affecting your mental health? Is the combination of isolation and existential stress making you feel more depressed and anxious? Or is the family togetherness and the pause from normal life, giving you a greater sense of belonging and equilibrium?You can log your thoughts at the end of the article.Don’t Try and Fix Anything Right NowThis post in Medium makes the case that in times of crisis, the best thing you can do for yourself is learning to live with uncertainty. Cognitive flexibility is perhaps one of the most excellent tools to have in a time of uncertainty. There are two components to cognitive flexibility: one, being able to change how you think about a problem, and two, being able to let go of solutions that aren’t working. If you know of anyone in need in New York check out:No Neighbors in Need NYCNYC This is a guide for New Yorkers to i) contribute to the fight against the Coronavirus and; ii) ensure that no neighbors remain in need in NYC during this crisis and iii) recommend ideas to policy-makers/civic leaders (pg 8). Crowdsourced initially from a small group of City and nonprofit employees, this resource needs your help to be kept up to date. Thank you for contributing your time, effort, and financial resources where possible. And please share widely! If there are any questions, email carol.meiyan@gmail.com.It's a time to Help others and we are sharing our client's donation page to:Offering Support For World Central Kitchen Our NYC psychotherapist practice Rennicke &amp; Associates started a fundraiser for support warm meals for our friends and neighbors in NYC through Chef Jose Andres and World Central Kitchen (WCK) They are in Harlem, the Bronx and Queens, making sure that our neighbors in New York City are fed and cared for during this public health and financial crisis. Help Rennicke &amp; Associates offer community support for World Central Kitchen (WCK) by raising $5000 families and children around the city most in need. Reading Inspiration The Impact on FeminismA great piece from the Atlantic.

073: Leadership and The Environmental - Joshua Spodek

Guest Overview First of all thanks Stephen Hecht for the recommendation. Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Arno Michaelis grew up in a caring loving family but the combination of being told he could achieve anything while witnessing his artistic mother’s suffering from dealing with her husband’s alcoholism drove him to bullying and vandalism at school; to by age seventeen, becoming deeply involved in the white power movement and a founding member of what became the largest Neo-Nazi skinhead organization in the world. For years he followed the path of violence until he was confronted at a McDonalds checkout by elderly African American lady with a smile and pointing at his swastika tattoo - “Saying that is not you, you are better than that” That moment started his path to redemption.  This is a two parter. Part One Arno recounts his early years and his descent into violence, and how a mass killing at a Sikh temple in 2012 led him to form a bond with Pardeep Singh Kaleka, whose father was murdered in the temple by a white supremacist gunman in a Milwaukee suburb. The gunman who killed Pardeep’s dad and five others, was a member of the white power group that Arno had founded years earlier. Part Two we cover Arno’s path away from extremism, his recent book with Pardeep Singh Kaleka -The Gift of Our Wounds, the work he is doing to promote the practice of peace, traveling, speaking and working with all kinds of reformed extremists to confront hateful ideologies through storytelling, fearless creativity and compassion.I hope you are inspired by the kindness, gratitude, and compassion of Arno MichaelisWhat we discuss?The impact of an elderly African American server in McDonalds defied him with kindness and destroyed his self identity in one comment. How it has made him committed to random acts of kindness. Walking away from the movement to confront extremism. Haram explained. Pradeep's Monster Ted x Talk. How rave music and culture became his gateway to a new life.His personal mission statement of ‘I'm working towards a society where all people are valued and included.’ Why he thinks everyone needs a personal mission statement.The work he is doing now with telling his story at events around the world. Meeting Deeyah Kahn.Confronting polarization through embracing uncertainty.And How curiosity reinforces uncertainty.The power of story and being cognizant of where our story is taking us.The connection between AI, extremism and fear of loss.His support of Andrew Yang.Race Traders.Universal Basic Income. The imperative of changing the education system. Meditation and inner peace and why children need to meditate .Serendipity and his Fox Lane Prison.Gratitude, Kindness, and Compassion as his core principles.‘Bravery Creates Possibility’.Separatism as the biggest problem to solve. Daryl Davis and de-robing KKK.The question we should have asked. Social Feeds?Website Instagram Facebook Youtube Twitter  Links Punk Rock Deeyah Kahn Film Maker Deviate book Occam’s RazorGift of Our Wounds Gift of our Wounds youtube Serve to Unite Sharon Risher For a time such as this Fox Lane Prison Monster Ted x Talk Forgiveness Project HaramSikh Faith Hitler’s application to Art school Daryl Davis The Common party Declaration of Interdependence Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche Hosted on Acast.

Guest OverviewRodney Durso is founder of Artbridge, a New York a non-profit that empowers emerging artists to transform New York’s ubiquitous construction scaffolding into large scale art exhibits In part one of this two-parter, we cover growing up in Long Island to a creative and artistic mother and a father who came from the wrong side of the tracks, feeling materially abundant while living in a landscape of emotional scarcity.  We cover growing up as an Italian in a predominantly Jewish Long Island culture, his educational experiences, and his early entrepreneurial ventures. We discuss his musical influences and ambitions, transitioning his focus to advertising, film production before being drawn to design and learning from design icon Milton Glaser. Forming his design agency in NYC in 1999 with a holistic 360 approach before integration was a common term. In part two we focus on Rodney’s second life, as an artist and social entrepreneur forming Artbridge in 2009 to give emerging artists unprecedented exposure by exhibiting their work on construction scaffolding and fencing across the city. Rodney discusses his mission and the impact this innovative initiative has had on the lives of underrepresented artists and how serendipity led to its scaling internationally. We also discuss art as therapy, procrastination, curiosity and his process of creation. And much much more. I hope you enjoy the candor, generosity of spirit, and artistic social enterprise of Rodney Durso. What we discuss:His artistic mothers influence His father coming from the wrong side of the track Rodneys Landscaper father The influence of his older brother His love of music and being in rock band in his teens And his escape into music and art His ambition to be a rock star1/4th between an A and CInterest in abstraction The dark side of his upbringing and the emotional scarcity Having an antenna and the power of listening School life and mentor Growing up as a Italian in a Jewish Long Island culture Captain Quick food delivery and his early entrepreneurial venture His evolution through advertising and film production into design Having Chronic Fatigue syndrome and his Chinese Tea venturePlanet Organic Tea company and the lessons in business Setting up strom house Partners Design Agency Burning out from the agency experienceMigrating to art as therapySeeking abstraction and dissonance in his work to create visceral work, working fast and messy Dealing with procrastination Artbridge and getting work into a gallery Curating 26 artists and wrapping a building Working with Google and FacebookTaking the program to Italy post the Earthquake- Offsite Art Scaling the program How the program finds artists Serendipity and the Highline open studioRisk taking Monetizing Self Esteem - Facebook’s legacy Amy Brown Links to SocialWebsiteFacebook TwitterRodney’s Instagram Links in showArtbridgeCB radiosAdLab Emerson Lake and Palmer Yes Stormhouse Partners Three tarts in ChelseaUniversity of Rhode IslandMononucleosis Michael Hanchett Hanson Whitney Biennial Offsite Art  Hosted on Acast.

109: Nita Baum - Her Serendipitous Journey To Transformational Leadership

Guest overviewsThis is a special Covid19 episode. Recorded over Zoom, I interview Nasser Jaber, the co-founder of The Migrant Kitchen who’s team is currently delivering 50 thousand free meals a day in NY and NJ to feed the families of those impacted by the Covid-19 crisis, including local healthcare workers on the front line in and around the city. Joining us is Israa Nasir - a clinically trained psychotherapist with experience of working with minority communities in NYC and treating their cultural and immigration-based challenges, anxiety issues, traumas, and the stresses people are suffering as this crisis unfolds. We cover the amazing work Nas is doing, the logistical challenges they face daily, in this disaster relief program, the complexity of sourcing, preparing, cooking, and delivering under CDC guidance and social distancing standards, and his go fund me campaign,We also cover the issues facing the food insecure communities, and the social injustice of the current food supply chain and the broader social issues this virus has exposed and his personal experience of dealing with and overcoming his own mental health challenges growing up in occupied Palestine.  Israa discusses the work she is doing to confront the stigma in Asian communities and some of the mental health challenges they face, how the virus has equalized the calls for help, and the impact on frontline workers. She also expands upon cultural and generational taboos around mental health and anxiety and the changes underway.  We also discuss the mental health issues facing people working in restaurants and kitchens and the exploitation of people of color, undocumented workers and gender-based biasDue to some connection issues at around the halfway, there are some sound glitches for a minute or two but we have left them in as the sound returns to normal just after.  I hope you are inspired and moved to support the great work of Nas Jaber and Israa Nasir. They discuss the positive changes in mental health literacy and changing attitudes resulting from the Virus,  Social Links Migrant KitchenNasJab83Instagram - The Migrant Kitchen Facebook Instagram Well.guide Israa’s Linkedin Links In the ShowThe Migrant Kitchen GofundmeWorld Central Kitchen Jean George Door Dash Chelsea Rental NYU IC Crisis Textline Hosted on Acast.

She also expands upon cultural and generational taboos around mental health and anxiety and the changes underway.  We also discuss the mental health issues facing people working in restaurants and kitchens and the exploitation of people of color, undocumented workers and gender-based biasDue to some connection issues at around the halfway, there are some sound glitches for a minute or two but we have left them in as the sound returns to normal just after.  I hope you are inspired and moved to support the great work of Nas Jaber and Israa Nasir. They discuss the positive changes in mental health literacy and changing attitudes resulting from the Virus,   Social Links <a href="https://www.themigrantkitchennyc.com/covid19-relief" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Migrant Kitchen</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nasjab83/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">NasJab83</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/themigrantkitchen/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram - The Migrant Kitchen </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheMigrantKitchenNYC/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/well.guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram Well.guide </a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/israanasir/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Israa’s Linkedin </a>Links In the Show<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/nyc-emergency-meals?fbclid=IwAR2hhhZkCTxDZEH0UD9t-DSbUMNx9tXA9uyBOjpHr94kooP4Sx_YivEr-g8&amp;pc=fb_co_campmgmtbnr_m&amp;rcid=r01-15847323332-39f1859e55c844b5&amp;utm_campaign=p_lico%2Bbanner&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">The Migrant Kitchen Gofundme</a><a href="https://wck.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">World Central Kitchen </a><a href="http://www.jean-georges.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Jean George </a><a href="https://www.doordash.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Door Dash </a><a href="http://www.chelsearental.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Chelsea Rental </a><a href="https://icnyu.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">NYU IC </a><a href="https://www.crisistextline.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Crisis Textline</a> Hosted on Acast.

Maria Dantos

Guest Overview Maria Dantos was born to a gregarious Greek immigrant father and ‘Mayflower compact’ mother. She grew up in her family-run haunted hotel in Vermont, with safety and freedom to play and explore her imagination. Immersed in abundant love she developed a world view of social justice and the importance of removing the inequity in education. Maria is an educator to her core; with 15 years of teaching, administration and educational reform experience. She has worked with people of diverse backgrounds and to advocate for justice in education as a means of upward social mobility for minority, female or otherwise less advantaged people. Her work reflects the importance of lifelong education and encouraging curiosity.She founded, and led multiple daycare and pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) education programs and schools of up to 100 students. Driven by her conviction that every child deserves to have access to quality education led her to launch her non-profit organization, Philox to provide humanitarian relief and education to underserved at-risk children in humanitarian areas of concern. Maria is also seeking to collaborate with educators, healthcare workers, community organizers and artists to provide solutions for at-risk children in this time of crisis. Applying her organizational, management and creative skills together Maria has worked as producer for several live events, short films, documentaries and one feature length film. She has also collaborated with members of Yo Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, Lincoln Center, and with Bank Street College at Columbia University.In Part two we cover her work in educational development and perspectives on the future impact of Covid19 on education and child development. I hope you enjoy the caring compassion and commitment of Maria Dantos. What we discuss Growing up in a playful outdoor environment she discusses her making her own adventures. Maria reflects on the influence of her Greek roots, and her curiosity about ‘otherness’ in a non greek community.
