This time we will dive deep into:
- Dr. Bozesan’s biography: moving from a communistic to a capitalistic country as a child, stereotypes she had to face, and missing spirituality in her heart and soul, and how they tie into the overarching topic.
- Our guest has been investing for over three decades now. The market is constantly changing, but we are living in a more drastic transitional era. We will find out what’s her response to that and how her approach has changed over the years.
- Definition of Integral Investing and what makes this framework so meaningful. The unique process of due diligence, vetting, and investing. She will also explain the examples from the perspective of classical and integral investing.
- We will highlight the businesses that make a contribution to creating a segway for the inhabitants of this planet to live in harmony. Taking the current state of affairs on the planet into account, we will explain what role Integral Investing plays in manifesting a planetary civilization.
- And finally, we will finish the podcast by discussing the biggest levers that move the needle of change through the example of The Collapse of Complex Societies by Joseph Tainter and how this all correlates with an individual’s wellbeing.
