Creating Resilient Countries for a Better World; with Kelly Culver
What a wonderful conversation this was with Kelly Culver: a leader of innovation and change, and an activist for resilience as our pathway to sustainability. This conversation took us to another level of thinking: it lifted us up from the minutia of our daily problems and flew above the world looking at life, purpose, meaning and how we can impact everyone.
Kelly is a beautiful person with a huge heart, determined to solve seismic problems through collaboration, innovation and our youth. She’s ready for the journey ahead and we are too.
Here’s a summary of our conversation:
07:07 - her fascination and learning in Paris
08:46 - Kelly’s journey that brought her to where she is today
10:30 - can Purpose and Profit coexist successfully?
11:25 - learning to love life with her husband Peter and a cancer diagnosis
21:04 - this unique place the world finds itself in, today
27:25 - what does “returning to normal” truly look like, and require?
32:33 - what is resilience all about?
43:19 - the BHAG of teaching kids entrepreneurship
51:00 - the American version of “success” is completely wrong
and much more….
Enjoy!
