The Dov Baron Show

Any decent human wants to stand up for the oppressed. We want to be allies… but is that enough? Are we willing to vote with our feet and walk away from dysfunction? What genuinely drives workplace equity and inclusion―beyond strategies and systems? Are we willing to get off the fence and do something? If so, what can we do beyond doing the "right thing?" What's in it for you as a leader or an organization? Let's find out. Our guest for the next two episodes is Tara Jaye Frank.

Remember when the US economically ruled the world? You may already be pushing back, saying, "we still do". Are you sure about that? Is the US still the #1 investor or the #1 trading partner worldwide? If you said yes, strap yourself in because you're in for a shock. If it's not the US, who is it, and what does it mean for the rest of the world? That's where we're going for the next two episodes with our guest and returning champion, John Perkins, AKA The Economic Hitman. In John Perkins's latest book, he states that we are at the beginning of the third wave of Economic Hitmen strategies rolling out across the world. If you think this is some conspiracy theory, consider that this is the work of a man with an intimate insider pass and the highest possible credentials. John Perkins is an economist, author, and activist. As Chief Economist at a major consulting firm, John was an advisor to the World Bank, UN, IMF, Fortune 500 corporations, and leaders of countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and US government agencies. His eleven books have been published in more than 35 languages and sold over 2 million copies, including Confessions of an Economic Hitman, Touching the Jaguar, and Shapeshifting was on The New York Times bestseller list for over 70 weeks. John's latest book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition, describes China's economic hitman strategy and the need to transform a failing, degenerative death economy into a regenerative life economy. John Perkins has lectured at more than 50 universities and has been featured on ABC, NBC, CNN, Time, The New York Times, Elle, Der Spiegel, and many others. He became a founder of the non-profits Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance. In his latest book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition, he describes the unforgivable acts he committed as chief economist at a major US consulting firm and the crimes executed by the CIA assets, known as jackals, who stood behind him. John exposes the Economic Hit Men strategy" that took on new and ominous proportions after China entered the fray in the early 2000s. He then offers a plan for converting the resulting failed, degenerative death economy into a regenerative life economy and how we can help make that happen.

Can Listening CRUSH Extremism and Generate Radical Unity? In what appears to be a profoundly divided world, we must discover the meaningful and profound difference we can make. Radicalization is real! We can see it across political lines. And for most people, it's something terrible we speak about as a passing news story. However, what happens when radicalization goes from being on the news to becoming something in your local community or, worse still, something that becomes real within your own family? It's only when these issues become personal, instead of quickly judging these radicals by whatever disparaging comment we might throw around, we can consider the complexity of the human being. When radicalism makes its way into your community or family, you will find yourself asking, "Why" would anyone go down that road, and what can we do to bring someone locked into what can be very destructive behaviors home? Well, that's where we're going with our guest for the next two episodes, Bjørn Ihler. Over the past decade, Bjørn has been one of the leading voices in the global efforts to counter and prevent the spread of violent extremism that can lead to terrorism. Through his work, Bjorn has been striving for a more principled approach to counter-terrorism, building a universalist understanding of violent extremism, irrespective of ideology, and rooting his efforts in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and principles of Peacebuilding. Through these approaches, Bjorn has held governments and companies accountable to changing the threat landscape and building safer communities. Since 2016, he has worked with the group, Extremely Together under the Kofi Annan Foundation. From 2020 to July 2022, Bjorn served as the inaugural chair of the Independent Advisory Committee of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism. He has worked with and advised local organizations, national governments, private sector companies, and international institutions such as the EU, OSCE, and the UN through his international work.

Becoming a Changemaker "Someone needs to fix this," is something that, at some point, we've all said. However, it's more challenging to ask ourselves, how can we lead positive change from where we are? We often think of change as a massive and overwhelming thing that only iconic people like Gandhi, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or Martin Luther King Jr can do. But is that true? Creating change can seem overwhelming; with that overwhelm, it's easy to give in to the status quo. However, what if the change you want to see can be broken down into meaningful, actionable bite-size micro-actions? That's where we go for the next two episodes with our guest Alex Budak. Alex is a social entrepreneur, a faculty member at Berkeley Haas, and the author of, Becoming a Changemaker. Alex Budak teaches, speaks, and writes to help people make a positive impact in their lives, career, communities, and society. As a social entrepreneur, he co‐founded StartSomeGood.com; ran Sweden's most prominent social innovation incubator, Reach for Change; and helped Change.org scale globally. Alex has given presentations on leadership, entrepreneurship, and change-making worldwide, from Cambodia to Ukraine, to the Arctic Circle, to UN Agencies, and to leading companies. He has spoken at the White House on how to create social change.

Part 2: The Massive Upside of Hiring Felons What can we learn about business and leadership from former gang members? The answer is a lot! Homeboy Industries. This $30 million not-for-profit organization is the world's largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program. We all live in a highly competitive, capitalist environment, and as such, we drive toward higher and higher levels of success. Meanwhile, we miss what's going on under our noses; we may not notice our children, marriages, families, and friends drift away. Sadly, we don't even notice as our humanity drifts away. We are climbing to be on top while failing our society's poor and forgotten people. We create systems that make it impossible to be part of the American dream, particularly if someone has had a dark past. But what can we do? Our guest for the next two episodes is Thomas Vozzo. Thomas Vozzo left a very lucrative career in corporate America, convinced there had to be a better way to define success. In 2012, Thomas became the first-ever CEO of Homeboy Industries. This $30 million not-for-profit organization is the world's largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program.
