Ep. 24 Gaza Champions - the generosity of friendship.
Gaza Champions is a global community that may be solving two huge problems that plague traditional charities: how to make sure support stays long after the media circus has moved on. And how to get past donor fatigue. Stephen Barden talks to co-founders Anam Raheem and Matt Davis about how they helped put volunteers from across the world in touch with individual families in Gaza: a network of pen pals - or zoom pals. And the impact that has had - not just on the families in Gaza - but on the volunteers. Links referred to...

The Tiny Mighty Organization: the fight against trafficking in women
While the media focus on punishing - or protecting - the powerful men who consorted with Jeffrey Epstein, it has completely neglected to ask: how can any man traffic and exploit women and children in plain sight? And why is it that, despite the Epstein revelations, organizations combating trafficking and protecting survivors face more not less governmental delays and significant cuts in funding? In this episode Stephen Barden talks to Taina Bien Aimé, who has devoted herself to this cause for over three decades, and heads an organization that punches way above it weight. Send a text

Speakers of Truth to Power: Lt. General (retired) Ben Hodges
The third guest in this special series is not someone you would immediately think of as speaking truth to power. Yet retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges has consistently done just that — especially when reminding the U.S. military of its core values and allegiance to the Constitution, rather than to the interests of politicians. His worry is that the unwillingness of some of the most senior military echelons to speak out against the growing demands of the current administration is either because they are fearful of something....or they agree.Contact me hereFor more infor...

Who Moved My World?
Stephen Barden's central theme in this series on power is that those who believe they have a balanced, manageable relationship with their world are the most effective and healthy members of our society. In this episode he asks the question: why do more and more people feel that they are unheard and that they have little impact in their world? That they have little power in their worlds? Stephen argues that those who feel ineffectual in their own environment will ultimately "move worlds". Historically that meant emigrating or finding sanctuary in sects or communities of like...
