Why does our education system encourage egotistical thinking?
Why is it geared towards the attainment of money, power and status?
Why are we rarely taught how to be kind and respectful?
It's high time we transformed our approach to education, says Satish Kumar.

In this episode Tom van der Lubbe shares how his company Viisi took their entire workforce 100% remote in two days and so far have seen no loss in revenue.
Viisi is a pioneer in self-organisation. They have implemented the radical business operating system Holacracy to create an extraordinary high-trust culture. They are now reaping the rewards of their stellar human capital during the current crisis.
In this episode, we talk:
- why people-first businesses will win during this crisis
- how Viisi's self-organised structure allowed them to go remote so quickly
- how removing fear from the environment has seen their revenues unaffected
- how the teams themselves are accommodating those with essential-worker spouses
- how purpose is replacing the CEO in self-managed organisations

What's going on? Who's in charge? Annual objectives? What? Hey?
For many of us in big corporations, this can be the norm. "The Fog" is what our guest this week, Lindsay Uittenbogaard, calls it. The ambiguity, the differing assumptions, the miscommunication.
Lindsay has a path out of the pea soup, it's called MirrorMirror: a platform and process for achieving alignment in teams.
In this episode, we talk:
- Making the leap from a small company to the Big League
- The symptoms that your team is not aligned
- The factors that matter in achieving alignment
- Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs
- How she nearly founded Uber!
Enjoy!
Best,
Richard
