10 years of charting our way!

It all began with ponderings over this piece of Scripture: 
Each of you should not only look to your interests, but also the interests of others. 

...and continued to the exploration of themes on how to conduct balanced business. Here is an excerpt from 2014, an intro to a wonderful Think Tank Tea -series on ecosocial wellbeing created together with a special friend and supporter who prefers to remain unanominous.

Balance masters chaos! The reform of the global financial architecture takes place from the bottom up. For me, revolution in this context is about acting in the opposite way as that which has poisoned this global financial architecture; the opposing force of solitary greed is communal generosity. 

My way of making a change in the marketplace has been to sow the seed of generosity when possible. At a time in my life where I had very limited resources, I asked myself the question of what is a resource that I can share? What I had was, tea. And so I began sharing the tea, the main idea being: I share my tea to bring people together, and as everyone comes together and shares - life knowledge or other resources, maybe the jam- we are all enriched!  

My adventure of exploring what it means for a business to function in a degrowth economy is only beginning, but one key lesson that I have learned is that much value can be created with very little. It is this story that is continued by the upcoming Think Tank Tea- event series.

Podcast intro finished!


The role of the podcast is to provide snapshots of one cultural mediator's journey into the fresh field of impact investing

Upcoming 純怡Media podcasts exploring the relationship of virtue, tech and paradox management. We define "paradox management" according to Dr Elaine Karsaklian, who writes “Paradox management is inherent in the Chinese culture” and “Change is motivated by the internal tension between two opposing forces”. She writes about the land of paradox management (China) in which "development, coherence, and consistency (has been created) out of instability, chaos, and contradiction".

Taking this perspective, Chunyi ventures into the fascinating field of social impact investment, analysing its development via Nordic-China comparisons. She applies paradox management lens, embracing difference positively and sifting for the essence of that "internal tension" between opposites... with the ultimate mission of smart contradiction management in order to build partnerships for the UN 2030 sustainable development goals  - targeting goal number 17.
