I’ve been meaning to do this thread for a while, but never quite get the chance to stop and word it quite right, but over the years with anything #DoughnutEconomics related two things happen, and I thought I’d explain those two things and answer some of the questions people pose.

So, it is really exquisite work, but I hadn’t quite realised that fully until this year, and I think I realise that a bit more now, and wanted to share. Most of my experiences without it were absolutely gut wrenching inspiration, like exploding out my heart type thing when I ..

... heard Kate talk about this idea, it’s so simple, so much common sense, like surely of course we all should have known this, starting back in 2018, when Andy shared the book at the Hub, every talk, every exploration was exactly that so inspiring, so I went back and read ..

COVID-19 has definitely confirmed one thing UBS, UBI and a overhaul of the purpose of the economy, changing the goal as Kate Raworth would say, is going to have to be at the heart of any chance of anyone having the capacity and structure to think beyond themselves.

The changes will keep happening to us, but whether we can respond or just flap about in a set of crisis one after the other and metaphorically drown from exhaustion of flapping, is going to be down to what conditions we create and wow we are screwed with this government.

Even within the philanthropic and funding world, caution and risk is pretty high even where there is signs of the future it’s not flooded with support or unpacked boldly, climate funds are a subset, this is all terrifying really. The future is being unpacked by heroics ..

I’m still fascinated by the psychology where whatever happens with the kids is just a big experiment, infection, variants, long COVID, just anything to prop and ensure we don’t forget most of our economy functioning is based on consumption, and we need to get out and spend.

If the NHS is exhausted well that’s their job, well the kids, we’ll just see what happens.

Like this is how the micro parts of our unspoken social contract is made, and this is what we decided. I find this absolutely fascinating.

I know I am biased, but I’m consistently deeply inspired by the way @indy_johar, @joostbeunderman + everyone who came after have built DM, openly, never shying away from the hard questions, never bowing to people saying well that’s not possible, or that’s too bold, or complex ..

... to then go an build a 50 person team around the world, grow the structures, governance and practice to learn, grow and craft this emerging practice, and go forth with the contradiction and tensions that exist but also recognise that whilst none of us have the answers ..

... there’s a big difference between saying it’s not possible to change that, or then say here’s how you might change that, and to go further stick your head above the parapet and say we are going to be propositional, hands on and intentional about that. Make no mistake that ...

Underrated basic leadership skill is knowing when your not the right person to hold something anymore, your not doing a great job or someone can hold it much better, even better celebrating + embracing peeps who are able to take it further, better.

The ego, fear of displacement, insecurity, entitlement is a bitch in these scenarios, but the only way to something better is to confront this stuff in ourselves, because holding on to sinking ships or holding on to that no longer for us, is zero sum too.

Or if we do want to, hold on to something the active transformation we have to do to learn, be better, improve, has to be exactly that, active, honest, open, bright, exciting, enticing. Basic first principles still matter here, people around you need to love, how you ..

Our default doesn’t have to be combative, well I wouldn’t do it like that, I’d do it much better, it can just be complementary or learnt from, or an example of wanting to do the opposite, different route, embrace the nuance or learn from the tactics good or bad.

Strengthening the gaps between the nodes, placing love, learning, trust, care, empathy, compassion, a bit of space for getting it wrong or wanting to take a different route. Not opposite magnets trying to prove each other wrong constantly, while the big picture gobbles us up.

Ultimately, I’m fully here anyone who is trying to put their head above the parapet towards a kinder, more equitable, just, better future, because everyone is going to chuck rocks, the system, peers, those on the same side, those driving a different outcome, + man it’s tough.
