What kind of collaboration, they ask, enables people to create solutions that address pressing problems around them? When asked about Enthela’s award-winning endeavor to keep more nitrogen in the soil using bacteria, Nedev argues that he’s doing this now only because of a window Van Mensel helped open for him. The two explain how this window opened up possibilities not only for him, but also for innovators around the world taking on the toughest problems human beings face. Strikingly, they focus less on their own endeavors than on what it takes to open that window for more of us. What starts as an inquiry into how to collaborate with people from other professional backgrounds, quickly opens up into a vital conversation relevant to people anywhere who want to tackle the crises around them. Tune in to discover how intentional collaboration can lead to unexpected yet transformative outcomes, and shift who gets to shape the future. ______________________ Resources Effectuation: https://effectuation.org/ Melodies for Palestine - RebelBase: https://app.rebelbase.co/project/3614 ______________________ Episode Sponsors Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel? 👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network ______________________ For more podcast stories from What If Instead?
