Today we celebrate the 100'th episode of The DNA Of Purpose Podcast! With that in mind, I wanted to interview someone who is not only a good friend but also a partner in purpose. As the co-founder of Future Crunch, and the scribe behind many of the words that are shared throughout the Future Crunch platform he is a messenger of hope, abundance and a future that we can be optimistic about, even as we weather the storms of life in 2021.
His name is Dr Angus Hervey. Gus as he is affectionately known is a political economist and a journalist specialising in the impact of disruptive technologies on society.
Prior to Future Crunch, He was the founding community manager of Random Hacks of Kindness, a global initiative from Google, IBM, Microsoft, NASA and the World Bank to create open-source technology solutions to social challenges. He was also the first editorial manager for Global Policy, one of the world's leading international policy journals. He holds a PhD in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics, where he was the Ralph Miliband Scholar.
Now for those of you who follow Future Crunch, you would have heard us talk about what we call Intelligent Optimism. This is the idea that if we seek out and share stories of human progress we inspire hope for a better future. Why do we care about it? Because we believe that to transform doom the antidote is hope, and to create hope we need to see it, read about it, and acknowledge that there are good things and good people in the world.
At the same time, we also know that our climate future is genuinely scary and that in other parts of the world people are recovering from fires, floods, earthquakes and it is hard to imagine the anguish of millions of people in Afghanistan and not feel deeply affected.
In response, Gus, Tane and the team realised that there had to be a new way of thinking about these challenges. One that in the words of Swedish physician Hans Rosling reminds us that “things can be bad, and getting better”.
So in my discussion with Gus today we talk about just that. This is the story of Collapse, Renewal and the knowledge that what you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Welcome to the 100th episode of the DNA Of Purpose Podcast.
