"My quest always has been how to make peace more profitable than war… I think it’s going to be my life legacy..."

Imagine a world where creating peace is more profitable than engaging in conflict. A world of 'tech for good' , where technology bridges divides, fosters collaboration, and drives equitable solutions. This vision isn’t just a dream; it’s the driving force behind innovators like Yip, a leader in promoting peace, purpose, and equitable collaboration within the AI and Web3 spaces.

A brilliant conversation full of purpose, curiosity, hope and opportunities. We explore the concept of making peace more profitable than war, the importance of democratizing access to skills and capital, and the vision behind yip's platform, Jedi, in fostering collaboration across emerging technologies. Remaining present and fully conscious of our actions and impact is key to this process.

What if we could understand and implement regenerative economic and societal models that prioritize long-term impact and equity over short-term gains, particularly democratising access for all to more regenerative funding models. We discuss the idea and importance of technical and "human" readiness, to equip and educate people in this common challenge.

Yip is running her first Zebracorn reatreat in June, to start bringing together these systems and minds. Link to find out more : https://www.systain3r.com/

Yip shares her story, insight and dreams of the world she is consciously and collectively crafting to bridge the gap between digital and human for the common good.

The man insights you'll get from this episode are :

- Bridging gaps through a collective approach to complex problems at societal level. Inspired by Muhammed Yunus’ efforts for (financial) inclusion for unbanked people, overcoming the limitations of capitalism with thoughtfulness.

- Also inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s promotion of compassion in communication and shaping corporate culture by bringing mindfulness to tech companies; a mindset of peace feeding into capitalism and technology to engage with them.

- Constantly reinventing/rethinking and democratising access can change conversations in systems and communities; the vision for the J3d.AL platform is to make peace more profitable than war.

- As an advisory platform, it invites people to become a Jedi or find their inner Jedi, sharpening their intuition and standing up for their values. It helps governments identify collaboration opportunities with each other and the private sector.

- As a (market) intelligence platform, it helps identify opportunities for collaboration in emerging fields of technology not yet mature enough for the mainstream media, e.g. quantum computing, cybersecurity, space technology.

- The philosophy behind it is to generate a body of knowledge and translate it on a semantic basis from one concept to another, facilitating mutual understanding to break down silos for collaboration to accelerate innovation.

- J3d.AI has three areas of operations – technology, health and sustainability. Conferences and workshops teach the skills of foresight, wisdom, compassion, and understanding technology and regenerative systems thinking.

- A ‘zebracorn’ marries a zebra (a company that is both black and white, i.e. both profitable and works to improve society) with a unicorn (a billion-dollar market valuation company characterised by VC funding and exponential growth).

- Zebracorns are totally doable in an age of tech and globalisation as tech brings down costs and its wise use can enable business; they remain open-minded about what is right or wrong and take account of paradoxes.

- Vision for 2030: many incubated, mission-driven, profitable zebracorns; more cooperative funding models; use of blockchain technology to enter global financial markets; pooling of resources from diverse fields.

- Hopefully more women involved in networking ventures to counteract risks to the planet and people - a holistic approach represented in a village birthing (and growing) a movement.

- The blockchain education program for women at the Frankfurt School of Finance trains women from different ecosystems who can transfer this knowledge to their working field of expertise – the flywheel effect of education transforms systems.

- Technological literacy and empathy should be taught as part of the school curriculum (cf. Estonia and Denmark respectively) to cater for the shift from industry-age readiness to technology-age readiness.

- With truly globalised and distributed communities and systems, most viable companies will not follow the current corporate structure; more decentralised, autonomous organisations with projects are already a reality (MVE, minimum viable ecosystem).

- Transient, antifragile organisms require human skills, such as trust, connection, and humility; playfulness and community mean that everyone becomes a steward of their own ecosystem on the basis of sustainable social consensus.

- We will need ‘power with’ not ‘power over’ leadership that brings with it absolute clarity and accountability and leaves no room for ego – this will enable purpose-driven cooperation to achieve something different.

- ChangeNOW 2025: a winner-takes-all technology is not yet visible in the climate resilience space; there are many different solutions, but we need increased dialogue across sectors.

- CTA: look into new technologies with curiosity to see how they can better solve your own and society’s problems; foster collaboration between corporate and not-for-profit sectors - collaboration starts with curiosity.
