This week our hosts got to talk with Brian Mclaren about his new book Everything Must Change as well as a set of conferences coming up called Deep Shift.
Brian talks about the ‘biggest problems in the world’ and asks “What did Jesus have to say about them?”. The conversation talks about the ‘political’ messages of Jesus.
Josh dropped out about half way through the interview due to some technical difficulties which we are sure you will pick up. Please don’t rush to the conclusion that Nick is an ass that monopolizes interviews.
Nick and Josh mention again the conferences they will be attending. The links are here on the right of the main page.
[...] should know by now, but if you don’t last weeks interview with Brian Mclaren is [...]
Hey, thanks for the interview–good stuff. I haven’t worked my way through the corporate responsibility series yet (after listening to this, it’s on my list). But I was wondering, is there anybody working on incorporating open source-type models and dynamic into new ways of solving the kinds of problems Brian’s talking about?
It seems to me that the open source software community is built around radically different structures and values than the traditional ‘code it and sell it, hoard it’ kind of mentality. Instead sharing and contribution are core values (which isn’t to necessarily exclude making money).
Do ya’ll know anybody that’s thinking or blogging along these lines? Any good links I should check out?
Thanks again!
Jake, thanks. I don’t know who is blogging about these things. I think there isn’t a comprehensive place. I know Ariah is blogging a lot on these topics and his CR podcasts will be envisioning answers to some consumeristic answers. As far as all the biggies – I think it will be on the website brian was talking about. It seems like that might be this kind of hub. We will definitely post when brian launches that.
jake. you can check out my 2 posts on it.
the first being entitled open-source capitalism
