Guest Bio

Zolal Habibi serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), where she advocates globally for a free, secular, and democratic Iran. With over two decades of dedicated activism, she has become a fierce advocate on behalf of the voiceless inside Iran, regularly appearing in international forums, human rights conferences, and live broadcasts across major media platforms. Zolal's activism began in her teens, profoundly shaped by the loss of her father—a respected Iranian writer and political dissident—who was killed by the regime during the 1988 massacre. This personal tragedy ignited a lifelong commitment to ensuring that no other family suffers such loss, and that the voices of Iran's political prisoners, dissidents, and freedom-seekers are heard on the world stage. Her work has directly contributed to securing international recognition of the 1988 massacre as a crime against humanity and the safe relocation of 3,000 at-risk dissidents from Iraq, demonstrating her ability to translate advocacy into tangible, life-saving outcomes.

98% of employees are interrupted at least three or four times a day. The average employee experiences 56 interruptions per day. Companies lose out on substantial profits due to distractions. Businesses in the United States lose upwards of $650 billion annually due to distracted employees. Distractions can lead to employees committing twice as many errors as usual. It takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to fully recover focus after a distraction. 

Nearly 6 in 10 (59%) can't focus for even 30 minutes without getting sidetracked. 92% of employers see lost focus as a major organizational problem. Not surprisingly the number one distraction in today’s world is your cell phone. Most people cannot go 30 minutes without touching it.

This has led to the increase in anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, depression, fear of missing out, social isolation and the list of negative emotions goes on.

Since it is unlikely that billions of people will be throwing away their cellphones anytime soon what if you could learn how to use it for your betterment as a human being and others?

About Food Yoga International

Food Yoga International, formerly known as Food for Life Global is a modern-day revival of the ancient Indian culture of hospitality. Since the beginning of recorded time, sharing of food has been a fundamental part of the civilized world and in India, such hospitality was based on the understanding of the equality of all beings.

In 1974, an elderly Indian swami, Srila Prabhupada, shocked and saddened upon seeing a group of village children fighting with street dogs over scraps of food, told his yoga students: “No one within ten miles of a temple should go hungry . . . I want you to immediately begin serving food.” Hearkening to the swami’s plea, his followers around the world were inspired to expand that original effort into a global network of free food kitchens, cafes, vans, and mobile services, establishing daily delivery routes in many large cities around the world.

Food Yoga International affiliates also provide food relief in times of natural and man-made disasters: In the war zone of Grozny, Chechnya, in 1994-1996, volunteers risked their lives to provide hot meals to the people in the city, serving over 2 million meals. 

Definition of Food Yoga:

Food yoga, or the yoga of eating, is a way of eating that involves paying attention to your body and food, and treating food with respect and gratitude. Some principles of food yoga include:

• Eating mindfully: Savor your food, chew it thoroughly, and eat without distractions.
• Eating with gratitude: Bless your food and express gratitude for it.
• Eating in a pleasant environment: Try to eat in silence or with soft, calming music.
• Eating regularly: Eat regularly with space between meals to promote digestion and prevent overeating.
• Avoiding heavy meals before yoga: Try to eat at least two hours before practicing yoga.
• Eating seasonal produce: Choose fresh, seasonal produce over processed foods and sugary drinks.
• Using herbs and spices: Some herbs and spices, like ginger, turmeric, and cumin, can help with digestion and reduce inflammation.
• Fasting: Fasting can be a tool for detoxification and self-discipline.

Additionally, distrust in traditional institutions, such as the media, government, and scientific organizations, has grown. When people feel that these institutions are unreliable, they may turn to alternative sources that align with their views. The rise of social media has made it easier for false information to spread quickly. Political and ideological divisions have created echo chambers where people only engage with information that reinforces their beliefs, often dismissing opposing viewpoints as false. And sadly, we face a society where some groups may deliberately manipulate information for political, economic, or social gain, blurring the lines between fact and opinion.

In a world where bias is everywhere, it often seems impossible to achieve true neutrality. In many countries, technology is often looked at as the equalizer but within the process of trying to attain, maintain, and grow the usage of technology, barriers are often faced by marginalized groups and communities around the world leading to further inequalities.

Globally the leaders of technology are Japan, South Korea, China, and the United States leaving most of the world out of the loop in terms of development and non-permission-based access. This lack of access continues to widen the economic and social gaps between the nations that struggle to obtain permission to deploy new technologies to their populations. If true change economically and socially is wanted globally, having access to and knowing how to use technology is key.

During our special addition, the first CTO Technical Advisor to Microsoft, William A. Adams discussed the concept of tech with understanding as the way to start working towards minimizing the gaps between populations that have easy and regular access.

Quote:

“If you are one of those marginalized, you better do it because it's in the preservation of your own tribe. So that's one reason to do it. If you do not consider yourself one of those marginalized communities, think at a higher level. It's like, well, we're all part of humanity, so you are part of the community. But if that doesn't appeal to you, just think of the total addressable market. You can address more of the market. If you'll tailor your products to suit more people, and that is true diversity, you're going to sell more and that's why you're in business, is to sell and get rich.”

Developing consciousness is a complex and multifaceted topic that spans various fields, including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality. It involves the exploration of self-awareness, understanding one's thoughts and emotions, and cultivating a deeper understanding of the nature of existence.

Consciousness is the capacity of individuals to deal with reality. The more complex the reality, the more need for a conscious approach.

The purpose of consciousness, at an operational level, is to ensure that the difference between what an individual thinks or says about reality and the real facts is minimal.

In today’s world reality is being questioned every day. As a society we need to face the ever-growing list of problems head-on if we want to make change by understanding the many factors that have contributed to the issues and realizing that a one-size-fits-all approach will no longer work as the world has changed.

The prevalence of child sexual abuse varies across regions and populations. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, an estimated 18% of girls and 8% of boys experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. Child sexual abuse is often underreported due to various factors, including fear, shame, stigma, and lack of awareness or trust in support systems. It is believed that many cases go unreported, making it challenging to accurately gauge the full extent of the problem.

Child sexual abuse can have profound and long-lasting effects on the mental health and well-being of survivors. Survivors may experience a range of psychological consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulties forming healthy relationships.

Certain factors may increase the risk of child sexual abuse, including family dysfunction, substance abuse within the family, poverty, exposure to violence, and lack of protective factors such as strong social support networks.

Perpetrators of child sexual abuse can be individuals known to the child, such as family members, relatives, caregivers, or trusted adults, as well as strangers. Perpetrators may use coercion, manipulation, threats, or physical force to exploit and victimize children.

In this episode, we discuss the signs, how to prevent, and what to do with expert Joelle Casteix.

Project HEAL is the only major direct service nonprofit in the U.S. focused on equitable healthcare access for people with eating disorders.

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that can have serious physical and psychological consequences. Here are some important facts about eating disorders:

1. Types of Eating Disorders: There are several types of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED). Each has its own distinct characteristics.
2. Anorexia Nervosa: Individuals with anorexia have an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. They often severely restrict their food intake, leading to significant weight loss and health problems.
3. Bulimia Nervosa: People with bulimia engage in recurrent episodes of overeating (bingeing) followed by behaviors like self-induced vomiting, laxative use, or excessive exercise to compensate for the calorie intake.
4. Binge-Eating Disorder: This involves recurring episodes of consuming large quantities of food, often in a short period, without any compensatory behaviors. It can lead to obesity and related health issues.
5. Prevalence: Eating disorders affect people of all genders and ages. They are most commonly diagnosed in adolescents and young adults, but they can develop at any stage of life.
6. Causes: Eating disorders are thought to result from a combination of genetic, biological, psychological, environmental, and societal factors. Low self-esteem, perfectionism, and societal pressures related to body image can contribute to their development.

Microloans have been instrumental in empowering women in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. These small, short-term loans are typically provided to individuals or small groups to help them start or expand small businesses, which can lead to increased income and economic stability. Here's how microloans have had a positive impact on women:

1. Financial Inclusion: Microloans provide women who may not have access to traditional banking systems with an opportunity to access credit. This can be especially important in patriarchal societies where women may have limited financial independence.
2. Poverty Alleviation: By starting or expanding small businesses, women can generate income to support their families and improve their living standards. This economic stability can help lift them and their families out of poverty.
3. Empowerment: Women who receive microloans often gain a sense of empowerment and self-confidence as they become financially self-reliant. This empowerment can extend beyond economics and affect their overall well-being.
4. Gender Equality: Microloans can help promote gender equality by giving women opportunities to participate in economic activities and decision-making processes. This can challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
5. Education and Health: Increased income from microloans can be used to invest in education and healthcare for both women and their children. This, in turn, can lead to improved health and educational outcomes for the family.
6. Community Development: Women who benefit from microloans often reinvest their earnings into their communities, leading to local economic development and job creation.
7. Reduced Vulnerability: Access to credit can help women weather economic shocks and crises, making them less vulnerable to sudden income losses.
8. Repayment Rates: Women borrowers have often demonstrated higher repayment rates compared to men, making them attractive clients for microfinance institutions.
9. Social Networks: Microloans often involve group lending, which encourages women to form social networks and support systems, allowing them to learn from and assist each other.

Overall, microloans have played a significant role in promoting women's economic empowerment and have been an important tool in the fight against gender inequality and poverty in many parts of the world.

Traditional philanthropy refers to the conventional and well-established approach to charitable giving and social impact. It has been the predominant model for many years and encompasses various characteristics, including:

1. Financial Donations: Traditional philanthropy often involves individuals, corporations, or foundations providing monetary donations to nonprofit organizations or causes they wish to support. These contributions can range from small individual donations to large-scale grants and endowments.
2. Established Foundations: Many traditional philanthropists set up private or family foundations as a means to manage and distribute their charitable giving. These foundations have specific missions or focus areas and work to provide financial support to various nonprofit organizations aligned with their goals.
3. Focus on Tax Deductible Donations: In many countries, traditional philanthropy leverages tax incentives, where donors can receive tax deductions or credits for their charitable contributions, encouraging more giving.
4. Reactive Giving: Traditional philanthropy often involves responding to immediate needs and crises. Donors may support causes like disaster relief, health initiatives, education, and poverty alleviation, among others.
5. Top-Down Approach: In traditional philanthropy, decision-making typically resides with the donors or their appointed board members. The recipients of the funding are generally passive beneficiaries.
6. Large-Scale Initiatives: Traditional philanthropy is often associated with significant contributions and projects that can have substantial impacts. These initiatives may involve partnerships with governments and other major institutions.
7. Public Recognition: Some traditional philanthropists seek public recognition for their charitable efforts, aiming to inspire others to give and generate awareness for the causes they support.
8. Long-Term Commitments: While traditional philanthropy can address immediate needs, it also involves long-term commitments to sustained support for selected causes or organizations.
9. Nonprofit Sector Support: Traditional philanthropy plays a crucial role in sustaining the nonprofit sector, providing vital funding to organizations working towards social good.

It is important to note that philanthropy has been evolving over the years, and new models and approaches have emerged. For instance, impact-driven philanthropy, venture philanthropy, and social entrepreneurship are among the newer trends in the philanthropic landscape, emphasizing outcomes, data-driven decision-making, and innovative solutions.

In Modern Philanthropy everyone in society is and can be involved, a person no longer must be white, male, and wealthy. Individuals get together and pool their money, time, and commitment to a cause, issue, or opportunity they see for their community to bring about change on a holistic level. This new approach takes the power out of the hands of a few and places it in the hands of those most intimately involved or devoted to seeing the improvement they desire.

Understanding civics is crucial for being an informed and engaged citizen. Here are some key reasons why it is important:

1. Participating in Democracy: Civics education helps citizens understand the principles and functioning of a democratic society. It equips individuals with knowledge about their rights, responsibilities, and the mechanisms of government. With this understanding, citizens can actively participate in democratic processes, such as voting, running for office, and engaging in public debates.
2. Making Informed Decisions: Civics education promotes critical thinking and provides citizens with the tools to analyze complex issues. By learning about different perspectives, political systems, and the role of media, citizens can make informed decisions on matters that affect their lives and communities. This knowledge helps them navigate political debates, evaluate policy proposals, and contribute to the betterment of society.
3. Protecting Individual Rights: A fundamental aspect of civics education is learning about constitutional rights and civil liberties. Understanding these rights empowers citizens to recognize and protect their own freedoms, as well as those of others. By being aware of their legal rights and responsibilities, citizens can actively engage in advocating for justice, equality, and fairness in their communities.
4. Holding Government Accountable: Civics education provides citizens with an understanding of the structure and functions of government. This knowledge allows individuals to hold their elected representatives accountable for their actions and decisions. By knowing how government works, citizens can monitor policy-making processes, participate in public consultations, and voice their concerns to ensure transparency and responsiveness from public officials.
5. Fostering Civic Engagement: Civics education plays a vital role in fostering civic engagement and a sense of community. It encourages citizens to actively participate in public affairs, volunteer for community initiatives, and work towards the betterment of society. Understanding civics helps citizens appreciate the interdependence of individuals and their communities, encouraging them to contribute positively to the collective well-being.
6. Promoting Social Cohesion: Civics education also promotes social cohesion by fostering an understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives and cultures. It teaches citizens about the principles of equality, respect, and tolerance, fostering an inclusive society. By understanding civics, citizens can work towards addressing social issues, resolving conflicts, and promoting harmony among individuals with different backgrounds and beliefs.

In summary, understanding civics is vital for citizens to actively participate in democracy, make informed decisions, protect individual rights, hold government accountable, foster civic engagement, and promote social cohesion.

Diversity and inclusion are essential in the workplace for several reasons:

1. Enhanced creativity and innovation: A diverse workforce brings together individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. This diversity of thought fosters a more creative and innovative work environment, leading to new ideas, problem-solving approaches, and product development.
2. Better decision-making: Inclusive teams can make more well-rounded and informed decisions. When people from diverse backgrounds come together to solve problems, they consider a broader range of viewpoints and potential outcomes, leading to better decision-making processes.
3. Improved employee performance and engagement: Employees are more likely to feel valued and engaged when they are included and appreciated for their unique contributions. An inclusive work environment promotes higher job satisfaction and increased productivity.
4. Attraction and retention of top talent: Organizations that prioritize diversity and inclusion are more attractive to potential employees, particularly in younger generations who value diversity and social responsibility. A diverse and inclusive workplace can also improve employee retention rates as employees are more likely to stay in an environment where they feel respected and included.
5. Expanded customer base: Diverse teams are better equipped to understand and cater to a diverse customer base. This ability to connect with a broader range of consumers can lead to increased market share and profitability.
6. Compliance with laws and regulations: Many countries have laws and regulations that promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Embracing diversity helps organizations comply with these regulations and avoid legal issues.
7. Enhanced reputation and brand image: Companies that champion diversity and inclusion often have a more positive reputation and brand image. This can attract more customers, investors, and partners who align with the company's values.

Overall, fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace not only benefits the organization but also contributes to the broader social goal of promoting equality and fairness in society. It requires a commitment from leadership, thoughtful policies and practices, and ongoing efforts to create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

Council, also known as group or community dialogue, is a process of coming together to engage in meaningful conversation and collective decision-making. It plays an important role in various contexts, including communities, organizations, and even therapeutic settings.

The council provides a platform for diverse perspectives and voices to be heard. By bringing together individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints, it allows for a more inclusive decision-making process. This can lead to better solutions, increased buy-in, and a stronger sense of community.

In this episode we learn from Jared Seide the founder of Center for Council, an organization delivering programs and training that promote communication, enhanced well-being, community building, and ways to foster compassion. The Center’s work supports a sustainable shift toward a more cooperative, creative, and engaged culture, transforming relationships, strengthening teamwork, fostering a sense of inclusion, and supporting health and wellbeing.

Episode summary:

Historically, violence levels in the United States have fluctuated over time, and different regions may experience varying levels of violence. Factors such as socioeconomic disparities, access to firearms, drug- related issues, community dynamics, and mental health concerns can all contribute to violence in society.

In recent years America has seen a rise in mass shootings, gun related deaths and an overall mentality of violence; anger at all levels has risen and has become an acceptable everyday attitude leaving many to wonder how we can turn down the dial. In this episode Dr. Jesenia Pizarro discusses how violence in America has shaped society and how it affects the rest of the world and our future outlook.

Topics discussed in this episode:

- Historical Factors [6:30] - America’s Image [9:24] - Black & Brown [11:15] - Pressure Cooker [15:00] - Pandemic Wake-up [16:28] - Gun Control [22:20]

Quote:

“The legacy of Jim Crow has created a situation where Black and Brown are placed more likely in the poverty line. It has an effect on your healthcare, jobs, affordable housing and overall economics and it creates environments for violence.”

Social impact businesses can sometimes struggle to show results due to several reasons:

1. Complexity of Social Issues: Social impact businesses often tackle complex and deeply entrenched social issues such as poverty, inequality, or climate change. These problems are multifaceted and require long-term, systemic solutions. Measuring and demonstrating tangible results in such areas can be challenging and may take time to materialize.
2. Outcome Measurement Difficulties: Measuring the impact of social initiatives can be inherently difficult. Unlike traditional businesses that can measure success through financial metrics like profit and revenue, social impact businesses need to measure their success based on social and environmental indicators. Determining how much positive change can be attributed directly to the efforts of a social impact business can be complex, requiring robust measurement frameworks and methodologies.
3. Time and Patience: Achieving significant social impact often requires long-term investment and persistence. Social issues are deeply rooted and can take time to address effectively.
4. Lack of Standardized Metrics: Unlike financial metrics, there is no universally accepted set of metrics to measure social impact. This lack of standardization can make it challenging for social impact businesses to demonstrate their results in a consistent and comparable manner.
5. External Factors: Social impact businesses are often influenced by external factors that are beyond their control. Economic conditions, policy changes, cultural norms, and other external factors can impact the ability of social impact businesses to achieve their desired outcomes. These external factors can add further complexity to measuring and demonstrating results.

In this episode, you will hear how Catherine Griffin the CEO of ImpactableX is paving the way for social impact businesses and projects to show their results and receive more funding plus change the trajectory of the problems they are addressing.

While it is not accurate to say that all women hide their talents, it is true that some women may choose to downplay or hide their talents for various reasons. It's important to recognize that societal and cultural factors can influence how women perceive and express their abilities. Here are a few reasons why some women might hide their talents:

1. Gender biases: Women often face gender biases and stereotypes that suggest certain talents or fields are more suitable for men. These societal expectations can create pressure for women to downplay their skills or achievements to conform to traditional gender roles.
2. Lack of recognition: Women's talents and accomplishments are sometimes undervalued or overlooked in comparison to men. This lack of recognition can lead women to downplay their abilities to avoid standing out or facing criticism.
3. Fear of judgment: Women may fear judgment or backlash if they openly showcase their talents. They might worry about being labeled as "arrogant" or facing backlash for challenging societal norms.
4. Imposter syndrome: Many women experience imposter syndrome, which is an internal belief that their accomplishments are not deserved and they will be exposed as frauds. This can cause women to downplay their talents and feel unworthy of recognition.
5. Balancing multiple roles: Women often juggle multiple responsibilities, such as work, family, and caregiving. This can result in limited time and energy to showcase their talents fully, leading to a perception that they are hiding their abilities.

In this episode we explore what is holding women back in society and how we can move forward.

It’s 2023 and after surviving a pandemic the world experienced two real truths we were never in charge and things are never going back to what they used to be. During our time in lock down using technology to take care of your everyday needs became almost essential. Children had to have access to the internet for school, if you could find something you needed you probably had to go and buy in on Amazon and if you wanted to talk to your relatives you might have to jump on Zoom. For those who were not ready the rise of technology felt forced upon them and they have begun to worry about what is all this data being used for?

In continuation of our data month of episodes we sat down with Jeff White, CEO of Gravy Analytics.

Gravy Analytics is an enterprise location technology company providing actionable intelligence to businesses. Using its patented technology, the company brings data about people, places, and events together to understand human mobility, helping companies enhance their sales and marketing strategies and optimize business operations. Today, the company's intelligence powers leading-edge solutions for a wide range of industries—from advertising to market research, financial services to supply chain risk management—that rely on knowing how people, products, and materials move throughout the world.

Being locked in our homes, confined to our neighborhoods, and having our awareness heighten; we watched on television, learned through social media and in some cases saw with our own eyes the crisis level that we had reached on the planet from climate change to racial and social injustice.

This overload of information and incidents left a large percentage of society feeling hopeless. What should we do, and can we really do anything as the World spins out of control? Where should we turn for our blueprint to fix these seemingly insurmountable problems?

Quote:

“Here in Kenya, we're discussing with the women how their perspectives and viewpoints on climate change can inform the development of plans and policies in national adaptation and planning. Then as we spoke about it, it occurred to me that many of them felt as though it was such a farfetched dream. They felt like their voices were too far from the policymakers and the people who needed to hear these stories. Eventually, one of the women, her name is Esther, said, never in her lifetime has anyone ever inquired what the impacts of the climate crisis could be on their land, much less on her personal life and like many other women.

She felt her voice is too far to go to those that make the decisions that directly or indirectly impact their lives.”

“We would take a van load of youth from the ocean beach area of San Diego to our shelter on Tuesday night and then back on Wednesday morning, and often, the conversation in the van was, where are you going to sleep tonight? Will you be on the beach? Will you be in the park and take the risk of being robbed or beaten or raped or, or somehow accosted, or have your worldly goods stolen? Most of us have no concept of what it would mean if we had no place to go tonight, but it's incredibly frightening.”

“The U.S. is still by far the largest economy in the world. There undoubtedly other economies rising, in other parts of the world that are developing economically, China is the most prominent. I'm not sure if the rise of China means that the U.S. will be less critical in world affairs or the global economy, but certainly, the future holds a shared stage for the U. S. rather than being the sole center for the world economy.”
