Meet Hawah Kasat -- who gave a startling TEDx talk on How Greed Could Save the World.  
What???  Isn’t greed what’s destroying the world?  
 
In a world that is crumbling between our fingers, is it possible that traditional non-profits are actually distracting us from solving the underlying problems that make them needed in the first place?  
 
Hawah invites us to reflect more deeply on whether we are spending our time and energy effectively.  What if we fundamentally rethink what nonprofits and businesses look like?  What if we start with the premise that helping a few struggling people when millions are suffering is not good enough? What if we get more greedy and stop being content with anything less than lasting, systems-level change?
​Hawah has dedicated his life to teaching about solutions to violence and ways to peace.
​
He is Founder of “One Common Unity,” a non-profit that inspires a culture of non-violence through music, arts, and education.
 
Author of 4 books, he produced 4 documentary films (including the acclaimed “Fly By Light”), 2 musical CDs, and is the creator/editor of “The Poetry of Yoga” book anthology featuring Grammy award-winning musicians and master yoga teachers.
 
In 2019, Hawah was the recipient of Georgetown University’s “Legacy of a Dream” award honoring an inspirational emerging leader whose work embodies the values and spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
​
Hawah also interviewed David Gallup of the World Citizen Government on his podcast The Everlutionary Podcast!

In honor of President Carter’s lifetime of Peacebuilding -- a special Podcast with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University.
Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick honors President Carter's lifetime of Peacebuilding on the People-Powered-Planet Podcast hosted by Arthur Kanegis.
Kanegis then interviews the school's educators of a new generation of Peace-Builders. ​“The Carters were trailblazers in peacebuilding and justice,” said Alpaslan Özerdem, dean of the Carter School. “We are furthering the Carter legacy in conflict resolution through our research and practice. His insight, passion, and love for peace will remain our inspiration in educating future peacemakers.”“For decades, the Carters tirelessly walked in the shoes of the people they strived to empower, transforming countless lives in the process,” says Charles Davidson, head of the Rotary-Carter School Collaboration for Peace. “We teach our students to identify the underlying causes of conflict and equip them with the cutting-edge theory and practical skills to put their knowledge into action, whether that be at the local, national, or global level.”
​Ozuem Esiri Onyebolise co-hosted the podcast with the Rotary Districts & Clubs Joint International Online Mega-Meeting Platform -which he founded. Ozuem noted that the program attracted Peacebuilders from 84 Countries and 264 Rotary districts!

The Visioneers Project is alive with story, the original one written as a fantasy, now inspiring thousands of new, true stories of what people everywhere are doing to contribute towards a better future for all.
Never has the world been more in need of such stories. Woven together as a Web of Good Work, they are the antidote to the fog of negativity that depresses the creativity and goodness of our human potential. www.thevisioneers.ca
Join us as we interview Desmond and Gerri about their Visioneers International Network, their Virtual Exposition of inspiring stories, and the opportunity for you to fire up your own imaginations to make real-life contributions to the wonderful world waiting to be born.
Their new Pax Humana video, broadcast to the world on Hubcast Media Network, calls for us to go beyond the illusion of the sense of separation to the wisdom of unity. It is a proclamation of a Golden Peace in which children are born in safety and embraced by love, where they are nourished by education to grow up as global citizens in rich and diverse cultures celebrating peaceful coexistence through collaboration and service.
