Crossing the Chasm encapsulates two key elements: 1) An exploration of why are we so disconnected/what does connection mean; 2) How can we become mobilized to create ecological and human flourishing. Essentially we want to understand why is there such a chasm between where we are and where we want to go and how do we overcome it?
The intent of this podcast is to create connection by envisioning a better world.
Welcome to another episode of Crossing the Chasm. Today I am joined by Amanda Janoo, the economics and policy lead for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEALL). Amanda is an economic policy expert with extensive expertise and experience working with governments and international development institutions around the world. Amanda has a unique and inspiring perspective on our economy and how we could reorient it to better support people and the planet. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
