Hello everyone, and welcome to the Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast! My guest today is Matt Friedman.

He has offered technical advice to numerous governments, banks, and corporations working to eliminate all forms of modern slavery and is the author of 12 books. In 2017, Matt Friedman received the prestigious Asia Communicator of the Year Gold Award for giving more than 800 presentations to 80,000 people—including government leaders and the Vatican—on the topic of modern slavery within a five-year period in different countries.

In This Episode: [02:05] - Matt explains how his work with USAID led him to what he does today. [04:41] - The realization of how evil these places were struck Matt after he visited the very brothels he’d heard were buying young girls for sex trafficking. [05:50] - Matt talks about the differences between forced labor and traditional slavery. [08:29] - This is how modern slavery impacts us as consumers today. [09:52] - How can we become responsible consumers? [11:55] - This is why people are still trapped in modern slavery, and Matt answers if this problem will ever be solved. [13:59] - The Mekong Club works with the private sector to help them understand the problems with human trafficking. [15:38] - We learn how Matt has been able to get the counter-trafficking community to work together. [18:06] - Matt discusses his work in Cambodia. [19:14] - The importance of evidence-based evaluations and the distinction that needs to be made in the counter-trafficking sector for trafficking outcomes, according to Matt. [21:12] - This is what we can do to take a stand against modern slavery. [23:53] - At this time, Matt anticipates the number of trafficking victims will go up from 40 million to 60 million because of the desperation that exists within the COVID-19 pandemic. [25:15] - It’s unrealistic to expect someone without experience to jump into the front lines in the fight against human trafficking. There are plenty of other ways we can volunteer our talents and have a more positive impact.

| 13 Jan 2022 | What is Entrepreneurship in the Humanitarian World? | 00:10:34 | |
When I say “entrepreneur,” what images come to mind? Is it the fancy cars, the elaborate houses, or the Italian fashion? Success means different things to different people. But for the ones that do great things as business owners, entrepreneurship is a whole new mindset. The idea behind the term “humanitarian entrepreneur” is to change the world on your own terms. It’s pushing you to go outside of the box that you’ve been accustomed to and the box you’ve been believing in your whole life. So together, let’s get out of the comfort zone and ask the tough questions. In this episode of the Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast, we’ll explore moving beyond the “employee mindset” and the perceived safety net of working for someone else. We’ll also address some of the frequently asked questions about Freelance Consulting Independent Contractors, such as:
And much more! If there’s someone that you know who wants to become an entrepreneur or who seems to be stuck in the employee mindset, please share this episode with them. Together, we’ll change the world on our own terms, we’ll question everything, and we won’t just accept what is being handed to us and what we’ve been told to be true. Thanks for joining me on this ride. Enjoy!

| 02 Feb 2023 | Warren Coughlin - Being Committed to Solving the Problem, Not Who is Right or Wrong | 00:36:33 | |
“A high performance culture is where there's a reciprocation of expectations. Where, yes, you're going to provide a great place where people can grow and have great relationships and do quality work, but in exchange for that, there's a high expectation that they're going to perform at a high level,” explains Warren Coughlin, serial entrepreneur and business coach. Since 2002 Warren has been working to deliver value and make an impact on entrepreneurs who are helping make the world a better place. Today, he joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about common mistakes entrepreneurs make, the importance of sticking to your foundational values, and how to really commit to solving a problem instead of worrying about who is right or wrong. Many entrepreneurs are so driven by the desire to do good in their communities that they think motivation and good intentions are all they need to get people on board. However, there are many things beyond motivation and passion to consider when starting a business. Some of the major common mistakes entrepreneurs make are not learning skills like cash flow management, not actually applying the skills they do learn, and not understanding how to create a high performance culture. A high performance culture is not the same as just being a nice place to work, everything and everyone within your business must be aligned with similar values and performing at a high level in order to achieve maximum success. Entrepreneurship is an incredible way to impact positive change in your community and the world. These are the people who are working hard to solve problems and move society forward, but they cannot do it alone. In order to really excel, it is important to put together a strong business plan, have a solid understanding of cash management, and to hire the right people whose values are in alignment with those of your company. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Warren Coughlin to learn more about common mistakes entrepreneurs make and how you can really commit to solving a problem without getting hung up on who was right or wrong.

| 19 Jan 2023 | Billy Fetzner - Ecopreneurs | 00:33:04 | |
“We really need to consider what we can do to make it so that we don't even have that waste at the end that either gets recycled, or gets thrown away, or gets composted,” explains Billy Fetzner, father, entrepreneur, Youtube creator, and coach. Billy has been fascinated by the environment since childhood and had big dreams to make a positive impact on the climate crisis. He created his Youtube channel, GreenBusinessImpact, with a mission to spread climate positivity through interviewing ecopreneurs who are doing incredible work making new creative solutions to many of the world’s problems. Today, he joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about the amazing work being done by ecopreneurs. Most businesses today exist within a linear model. They create a product and when the user is done with it, that product ends up either in a landfill, a compost heap, or recycled if possible. The better way would be a shift to a circular economy. With a circular economy, there is more of a thought process to how businesses can recoup some of the materials and use them to make new products. An example of this is how Apple recycles the materials in old iPhones to make new iPhones. By supporting companies that are working to circularize their production process, you are encouraging companies to continue making these eco-friendly changes. Money talks and if consumers show they prefer to support companies that employ a circular model, more businesses will make the switch. The climate crisis tends to be viewed in a negative light, but really it provides so many opportunities for creativity and innovation. Many ecopreneurs are working diligently to find unique solutions to issues that can help reduce the climate crisis. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Billy Fetzner to learn more about the work being done by ecopreneurs and the steps you can take beyond recycling to help make a positive impact on the environment. Quotes “Soil is such a such an important part of how we can work to fight the climate crisis, because soil can hold and maintain, can be a huge carbon sink that we're not utilizing.” (8:32-8:48 | Billy) “Recycling is something that should definitely happen, it is so important. But, it's not like that's your get out of jail free card. That is just the beginning.” (11:55-12:09 | Billy) “The circular economy, what it says is, okay, instead of us going out there and going and finding all the different resources that we need to create this product, how about instead, we use what we already used before, and bring it back and start using it again. So instead of all of that stuff going into the landfill, we take those resources and those parts and those pieces, and we find a way to bring them back and bring those two ends together to start making those products again using the same resources.” (13:20-13:57 | Billy) “We really need to consider what we can do to make it so that we don't even have that waste at the end that either gets recycled, or gets thrown away, or gets composted. How can we reduce what we initially buy, or initially produce, so we're not over producing and needing to throw away things, but making sure that we're using things as efficiently as possible?” (16:14-16:40 | Billy) “There are companies out there that are working to circularize their production cycle and their supply chain. So being able to support them, the biggest way that any consumer and anyone can impact the way that companies are doing things is with their wallet.” (23:27-23:48 | Billy) Connect with Billy Fetzner: Podcast: https://podcast.greenbusinessimpact.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billy-fetzner/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmCz079n5YB1X25g_8pt4-A Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bill.fetzner.5/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/fetzner_billy

Where were you on September 11th, 2001? If you’re old enough to remember that day, you likely can recall exactly what you were doing, who you were with, where you were, and how you felt at that time. It’s a memory we’re not likely to forget.

| 02 Jun 2022 | Laura Hartley – Business as Activism | 00:32:11 | |
Do you trust yourself? Trust is crucial when being called to activism. Many of us don’t take the time to slow down and look inward before we look outward. That gap in self-understanding often means we don’t truly know whether we can trust ourselves or when our bodies are telling us to step back when our minds are urging us to push forward. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Laura Hartley. Laura is an activist, writer, and coach. She is also the founder of an online school for activists and changemakers, with programs in healing burnout culture, starting purpose-driven initiatives, unlearning perfectionism, and doing the inner work of dismantling capitalism and supremacy culture.

| 26 Jan 2023 | Candice Thomas - How to Lead with Intuition | 01:00:28 | |
“The first voice is always intuitive. And I say it's a voice, but for most people it's a physical sensation in their body,” explains Candice Thomas. Candice is the author of The Success Sense: Intuition for Entrepreneurs and Professionals. She uses her skills as a psychic medium to teach entrepreneurs, artists, and leaders how to use their own intuition to change their lives and make positive changes in their communities. However, she wasn’t always so adept at following her own intuition. After a lot of years of getting and ignoring her intuitive flashes, Candice ended up feeling trapped in a federal government job that she didn’t enjoy. It was only after she visited the Psychic Twins and learned that she was actually gifted as a medium that Candice began exploring where her intuition had been trying to lead her all along. Today, Candice joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about how to lead with your intuition. Intuition is something that everyone has, but not everyone knows how to recognize and interpret. It may feel like a physical sensation in your body or even show up as a little voice in your head. At first you may naturally be inclined to try to tune it out or brush it off. Once you become more in tune with how your intuition shows up for you, then you can start to figure out what it means and choose whether you wish to follow its guidance or not. You do not have to be a psychic to tap into your own intuition. However, it may be helpful to seek out someone like Candice who can help you learn to hear and understand your own inner voice. Intuition is another sense that we can learn to tap into to be in better alignment with ourselves and our goals. When you lead with intuition, you automatically lead with more authenticity. Following your intuition is always going to lead you to a better place than falling back on old habits like people pleasing. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Candice Thomas to learn more about how intuition works and how you can use it to manifest the life that you desire.

Consent. We live in a world today where that word still means different things to different people. My guest today is Erica Scott.

| 12 Jan 2023 | Mark Lowcock - Relief Chief - A Manifesto for Saving Lives in Dire Times | 00:31:20 | |
“Conflict, climate change, COVID and other diseases are what contributes to humanitarian suffering. And so you have to address the causes of those problems if you want to see the number of people suffering for as well as providing immediate help to the people to get them through until the causes can be addressed,” explains Mark Lowcock, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator from May 2017 through June 2021. Prior to his appointment in the UN, he served as the permanent secretary for the United Kingdom’s Department of International Development. Mark has spent 35 years leading responses to humanitarian crises across the globe. He was twice awarded medals by Queen Elizabeth II for services to international development and public service, including reaching Knighthood in 2017. Recently, Mark authored a book titled Relief Chief: A Manifesto for Saving Lives in Dire Times. Today, he joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about how humanitarian crises are handled and how ordinary everyday people can get involved. The humanitarian crises afflicting the global population today are mostly caused by conflict, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. There are so many wonderful agencies helping to provide resources to those most negatively impacted by these crises, however, due to the sheer quantity of agencies they often are in competition with one another for resources. Most of the issues overlap and so it is important for agencies to determine how they can collaborate in order to effectively tackle these humanitarian crises. No one agency can fix everything on its own. Another issue comes from the fact that these organizations largely treat the symptoms rather than getting to the root cause. An example would be feeding someone who is starving without addressing the reason why they are unable to access or afford food. Situations can only improve if and when the root causes are addressed, yet the bulk of efforts are typically put into short term rescue solutions. There are many ways to get involved in making an impact on humanitarian crises across the globe. Aside from getting involved with the many pre-existing organizations providing aid, there is also the option to get involved at the government level by talking to your representatives. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Mark Lowcock about how to save lives in dire times. Quotes “The way this system has been created is that there are lots and lots of agencies, lots of UN agencies, the Red Cross family, 1000s of NGOs, and to some degree, they are both collaborating with each other. But they're also competing with each other for resources and donors in particular, and to some degree, they have overlapping mandates.” (7:21-7:44 | Mark) “A good outcome is not that one agency gets all the money, because no one agency can fix the problem. A good outcome is where there's enough money for everybody to spread in the fair way as possible.” (9:19-9:30 | Mark) “Conflict, climate change, COVID and other diseases are what contributes to humanitarian suffering. And so you have to address the causes of those problems if you want to see the number of people suffering for as well as providing immediate help to the people to get them through until the causes can be addressed.” (12:13-12:31 | Mark) “If you just address symptoms and not causes, don't be surprised if things keep getting worse.” (21:17-21:22 | Mark) “One of the ways in which people caught up in humanitarian crises are stripped of their humanity is by losing their ability to control and determine things in their own lives. And if you can give people cash that gives them some of that dignity and freedom and humanity back.” (23:40-23:56 | Mark) “Empathy grows, actually curiously, when our own challenges grow.” (30:07-30:13 | Mark)

| 20 Jan 2022 | The Humanitarian Approach | 00:13:03 | |
What would you do if you weren’t scared? What would your life look like if you had no fear of failure? We strive for success, but few of us actually take the time to truly understand what success means. For me, I envision success as doing work that I am truly passionate about on a schedule that works for me, working when, where, and how I want to or need to. Many of us consciously or unconsciously are trying to achieve success because we’re looking for safety and security, but safety and security need to come from within. You can have the life that you want and have dreamed about, but you have to do the internal work first. In this episode of the Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast, we’ll explore the Humanitarian Approach: a four-step targeted approach that helps others get to their goals and hopefully avoid the many pitfalls I encountered on my own entrepreneurial journey. If there’s someone that you know who wants to become an entrepreneur or who seems to be stuck in their own mental matrix, please share this episode with them. Together, we’ll change the world on our own terms, we’ll question everything, and we won’t just accept what is being handed to us and what we’ve been told to be true. Thanks for joining me on this ride. Enjoy!

| 09 Feb 2023 | Dan Rubins - Hear Your Song | 00:22:20 | |
“At the start of the pandemic, my co-founder and I realized that it was the opportunity to really start expanding this mission to help kids with serious illnesses have the power and choice through a creative process that they so often don't get to have in their daily lives,” shares Dan Rubins. Dan is the co-founder and executive director of Hear Your Song, a non-profit organization empowering kids with serious health conditions to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. Today, Dan joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about how the organization got started and how it works to empower kids globally. Kids with severe illnesses and diseases lose a lot of agency over their own lives. They may spend a lot of time inpatient in hospitals and don’t have as much opportunity to express themselves creatively as other kids. Hear Your Song gives kids an opportunity to be involved in every step of the song creation process from lyrics and vocals to beats and instruments. It also provides an online community so that kids and their families can feel more connected. Music can be incredibly healing, but the creation of music itself also provides an opportunity for empowerment. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Dan Rubins to learn more about the work Hear Your Song is doing to improve the lives of children with serious and chronic illnesses.

| 16 Feb 2023 | Sarah Chickee - Le Club Mom Boss | 00:39:56 | |
“You have to find out who you are to show up as your authentic self. And then once you find out who you are, stop letting everyone else around you tell you what to do,” shares Sarah Chickee, hardworking mompreneur and owner of Le Club Mom Boss. Her goal is to help mom and non-binary parent-owned businesses flourish while not having to choose between their business and their kids. Many women and assigned-women at birth non-binary parents are still having to choose between a thriving career and being with their kids. It’s even more difficult for solopreneurs who are having to balance running a business with still maintaining the home and having time for their families. However, no one even blinks an eye at men who own businesses and have kids. Mompreneurs can benefit from community with other mompreneurs, because they connect on a deeper level and can understand each other's struggles. No one should be having to choose between a career they are passionate about and their children, especially not nowadays. Unfortunately it is still a big issue, particularly for mothers and many non-binary parents. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Sarah Chickee to learn more about the work she is doing to highlight these mom-owned businesses, create visibility, and help fuel economic growth.

| 29 Sep 2022 | Eloise Allexia – Integrating Monasticism in Everyday Life | 00:23:34 | |
Wouldn’t it be easier for someone to just “give you the answer” and tell you what your purpose was in life? Easier, maybe. More meaningful? Probably not.

When was the last time you scrolled through your newsfeed on social media? If you were to do so, you’ll likely see your friends and family posting picture-perfect moments and living their best lives.

Brian is the author and owner of Get Out of Your Head, a brand and book series that seeks to help folks overcome anxiety and depression. By trade, Brian is a software developer.

[4:02] – When it comes to facing cultural masculinity and holding emotions inside, Brian had to go against the grain and get the story out of him.

[8:16] – In Brian’s second book, he explains that one-off events can also lead us to depression, but so can a thousand other little things. [9:31] – This is how we can be better with authentic connections in a modern world. [11:32] – The pressure of social media means always presenting picture-perfect moments, which means we often miss the opportunities to be open and vulnerable and build real human connections. [13:12] – The importance of realizing our mood is not an accurate representation of our lives. [14:43] – Brian explains how we see the world not as it is, but how we are. [16:51] – This is what it means to sail into suffering and take on voluntary discomfort. [19:31] – We need the difficulty and the challenges of being uncomfortable. Here’s why. [22:22] – Why don’t we feel elation when our expectations don’t meet reality? [25:02] – Opening up to those in our lives can also lead to us feeling like we’re not truly being heard. Here’s how Brian would navigate that. [27:42] – Brian can feel false authenticity, so he respects those that are willing to cut through that facade and start small with something real. [28:26] – Tiffany concludes the conversation.

| 23 Feb 2023 | Paul Kronenberg - Being Part of the Solution | 00:29:52 | |
“What can we do to at least be part of a solution and not be getting stuck into the problem?” asks Paul Kronenberg. Paul is the co-founder and director of Braille Without Borders and Kanthari, an immersive training program that equips participants with everything they need to know to start and run effective, relevant social projects in their own communities. The Western World’s typical solution is to go into these other communities and try to change things with no real understanding or appreciation for the traditions and culture of the native people. Paul’s dream is to create a more ethical tomorrow by catalyzing others and giving them the tools they need to create sustainable, eco-friendly solutions to issues in their respective homelands. When Western leaders go to other countries to make changes, they often just create more problems. This is because they are outsiders. They aren’t typically thinking about the needs, wants, or traditions of the native people when they propose their so-called ‘solutions.’ Instead, the solutions for any community should come from within its own members. They have more hands-on knowledge of local issues, in addition to having respect for and a full understanding of local traditions. By choosing to be part of the solution, we can enact sustainable global and local change. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Paul Kronenberg to learn more about how Kanthari is putting the power for catalyzing change back into the hands of local community leaders.

If you had to guess, what do you think the average cost of a first home is for first-time homebuyers in your area? Odds are it’s much higher than you would think and it’s almost certainly higher than it used to be. But in some parts of the world, that price is simply out of reach for much of the local population. My guest today is Zola Rose. Zola founded the social enterprise Common Ground in 2019 to enable and catalyze collective, community-led housing development. The aim of Common Ground is to increase the social, cultural, ecological, and economic well-being of communities based on the principles of regenerative development, permaculture, living systems, and ecovillage design.

| 05 Jan 2023 | Sarah McCrum - Love Money, Money Loves You | 00:38:05 | |
“When we understand what money is, somehow we come to understand what life is at the same time, and we become more human, more alive, more joyful. We have more space, more peace in our lives,” shares Sarah McCrum, author, educator, and business innovator. Sarah is the founder of Liberate Humanity, the creator of Thank You Money, and the author of Love Money, Money Loves You. She’s also co-Originator of LOVE TO, a group of Mutual companies that have created a new type of financial product, backed by the regeneration and protection of nature and human quality of life. Today, she joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about money. People tend to stress about money and look at money from the wrong perspective. It is important to realize that money is actually a loving energy that we can all benefit from instead of always thinking about it from a place of scarcity. There is a longstanding view that having money means you are not a good person, because if you have money that must mean that someone else does not. However, money in itself is abundant and unlimited. It can help bring us together and create joy and peace in all of our lives when used properly. All it takes is changing the perspective with which we usually think about money. If you keep yourself open to receiving the loving energy of money, that is what will find you. When you close yourself off and view money from a place of scarcity, that energy is unable to come into your life. Tune into today’s episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Sarah McCrum about the misconceptions that people usually have about money and how to view money in a more positive way. Quotes “Money is unlimited. It's not scarce like we think it is, and it's here to connect us together.” (4:12-4:19 | Sarah) “Almost all people experience some form of stress around money.” (6:03-6:06 | Sarah) “When we understand what money is somehow we come to understand what life is at the same time, and we become more human, more alive, more joyful. We have more space, more peace in our lives.” (7:40-7:53 | Sarah) “Once you think that money is limited and scarce, then you think if I have more, somebody will have less.” (10:04-10:11 | Sarah) “When we get our value system the right way around, then we can actually create peace in our lives and in our economy. And this kind of goes back to the money saving the world thing. If our economy is based on really destructive values, how can we ever really have peace with it?” (14:14-14:32 | Sarah)

The world of consulting is full of questions. For people looking to get started in the world of consulting, it can be challenging to even know where to begin. How do you get started? What challenges can you expect? What’s not being talked about that should be? In this episode of the Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast, I’m hoping to address all of those questions and more with my guest, Sharanya Sekaram. Sharanya is an independent policy and advocacy consultant in gender, based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. She is currently focused on gender-based violence, resourcing women and girl-led organizations, and VAWG in humanitarian and emergency contexts. Sharanya holds an LLB (Hons) from Staffordshire University and a Masters in Conflict and Peace Studies from the University of Colombo; she is also currently reading for a Post-Graduate Diploma leading to an MA in Women and Gender Studies at the University of Colombo.

You can find Sharanya on Twitter @sharasekaram, her blog – “Sharanya Sekaram’s Blog”, and on LinkedIn. If there’s someone that you know who wants to enter the world of consulting but seems unsure how to take their first step, please share this episode with them. Together, we’ll change the world on our own terms, we’ll question everything, and we won’t just accept what is being handed to us and what we’ve been told to be true.

[4:24] – Tina wasn’t given any information about her granddaughter while she was in foster care, but in her opinion, that was the point. [6:32] – This is why Tina believes there isn’t a lot of questioning of the foster system. [8:57] – The power differential of those who have privilege and those who don’t can make navigating the system more challenging based on who you are.

[15:03] – Tiffany remembers a case in her previous work experience that was the polar opposite of Tina’s experience. [16:42] – The foster system has a one-size-fits-all mentality, according to Tina.

[21:21] – What can we do to take a closer look at children in the foster system in our own areas? [23:59] – This is how we can learn more about Tina’s family’s story.
