Decision-Making in Complexity

episode 290 | May 28, 2026 | 101min
In this episode with Marvin Oka, we explore the art of coherent decision-making in complex systems, weaving together adaptive leadership, self-organising dynamics, paradigmatic metaphors, and the deeper role of vision, values, and feedback loops in transformational change. The conversation also dives into the intelligence of the three brains — head, heart, and gut — revealing how greater alignment, congruence, and heart-centred awareness can create the conditions for wiser collective conversations and more emergent ways of leading.

Navigating Complexity, Collapse & Change

episode 272 | Jan 23, 2026 | 60min
In this wide-ranging conversation with Richard David Hames we explore why sense-making has become so difficult in an era of systemic collapse, and how leadership must evolve from individual authority to a collective, values-driven practice rooted in inner work, love, and shared meaning. Together, we reflect on the power of story, the re-integration of the feminine to restore balance, the search for a worldview that serves all life, and what the current state of AI and large language models reveals about our shared existential moment.
