Shattering Economic Stereotypes with Erinch Sahan: The finance industry we need for humanity to survive

Ever wondered why humanity's progress is stunted, despite advances in technology, infrastructure and knowledge? Why socio-economic disparities are widening? Why life is scarier, harder and less hopeful than ever before? Why a rapidly increasing portion of people are afraid to bring children into this world?𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!My recent conversation with Erinch Sahan, former chief executive of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and the business lead at Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL), dives into the uncomfortable engrained fallacies of the profit-centricity in companies, the effect of a brazen shareholder primacy and discusses how both shape an economy that supports a privileged few at the expense of the many.In this episode, we name the finance industry as the biggest extractor of wealth in today's economy, stifling innovation and increasing socio-economic inequality, and, we identify that all we do to improve the world for future generations is doomed unless we fix the finance industry.Erinch outlines how every problem we face as a civilisation starts and ends at the finance industry and we explore how founders of humanity’s next greatest businesses will redesign industries for the collective good and unleash a torrent of hidden potential that will take humanity forward and off this terrifying path. We discuss how humanity's collective survival depends on transforming the finance industry from being a system that feeds narrow and privileged self-interests to one that fuels holistic prosperity for all of earths citizens.This thought-provoking conversation has implications for all of us - entrepreneurs, employees, investors(!!) and, the most important people of all; consumers.It’s crucial each of us understands and works every day towards changing the status quo because a sustainable future for all of us depends on reshaping the finance industry and corporate world.Do you think you're ready to acknowledge that nothing else we do to improve the future for humanity matters unless we fix finance?If so, join us as we dive into the very hard and very deep issues that humanity MUST fix.Transforming the future 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 with transforming finance!If you're invested in solving climate, in improving diversity, in pursuing equality, in breaking down power structures and jamming a stick in the cogs of colonialism and its patriarchal systems, you'll find a welcome friend in this episode.

Equitable by Design: Creating Workplaces That Value Merit With Aubrey Blanche-Sarellano

In this episode of Chasing Financial Equality, host Kane Jackson speaks with Aubrey Blanche-Sarellano, founder and CEO of MathPath and Vice President of Equitable Operations at Culture Amp. Known for her systems-level thinking and willingness to speak candidly about difficult topics, Aubrey shares her evidence-based approach to creating more equitable workplaces through intentional design rather than checkbox diversity initiatives.
In a time when diversity and inclusion policies face increasing political attacks, Aubrey offers a refreshing perspective that focuses on fairness, merit, and efficiency rather than getting caught up in terminology. She explains how her personal journey—from being adopted at age three to navigating elite academic institutions and corporate settings—shaped her understanding of privilege and opportunity. With remarkable openness, she discusses her experiences with sexual assault and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and how sharing these stories has helped both her healing and created space for others facing similar challenges.
The conversation explores how Aubrey ended "culture fit" hiring at Atlassian, replacing it with values-based interviews that eliminated unconscious bias, and her work at Culture Amp designing systems that benefit everyone by focusing on those with specific needs. Throughout the discussion, Aubrey emphasises the power of micro-behaviours in creating cultural change, the importance of imagination in systems redesign, and why focusing on those who don't care about equity is a waste of precious energy that could be used to create real impact.

2. Obstacles to Organisational Change (06:53 - 08:28)

Fresh Eyes in Grey Rooms: Rethinking Boardrooms for a Survivable Future

Company boardrooms are some of the most powerful—and most overlooked—rooms in the world. Decisions made inside them shape everything, from climate policy to corporate layoffs, and from community wellbeing to long-term planetary survival. But too often, these rooms are grey: dominated by sameness, risk aversion, short-term thinking, and a lack of self-awareness. In this episode of Chasing Financial Equality, we sit down with Paul Smith, Board Futurist and founder of Future Directors, to ask a radical question: what if we reimagined the boardroom as a place of colour, curiosity, and long-term vision? What if it was a place of excitement—where boundaries were pushed, and people were encouraged to step up to the challenges around us, not succumb to a position of mitigating the liability for the damage their inaction causes? Paul shares his personal journey from feeling misunderstood to becoming a global provocateur for better governance. We unpack why decades of experience aren't always a strength, how inaccessible education keeps fresh voices out, and why true boardroom transformation means rethinking not just who is at the table—but how they think. From AI-enhanced decision-making to the emotional intelligence of diverse teams, this episode is a bold call to action for anyone who believes the future deserves better stewards. Along the way, Paul reflects on sharing whisky with Jane Goodall, and we revisit Eleanor Roosevelt’s tradition of radical salons—spaces for unfiltered dialogue and shared imagination. Because if we want a survivable future, we need to change the rooms where it’s decided.Paul's latest book: The Artificially Intelligent Boardroom - The indispensable book for any leader committed to better governance in the age of AI can be supported, and pre-ordered on Kickstarter

What happens when you take a 48-day global tour to meet the world’s most radical thinkers in finance and systems change? In this special live episode, Kirstin Hunter, CEO of Birchal, sits down with Maslow CEO Kane Jackson to unpack the frontline insights from his whirlwind global research trip—spanning the U.S., U.K., Canada, Barbados, and beyond.
From sharing meals with systems thinkers to witnessing the cultural disconnects that stop capital from flowing where it’s needed, Kane reflects on what it really takes to fund and build a survivable future.
You’ll hear:
Why most "impact capital" avoids funding systemic change
How the finance system became extractive by design—and how Maslow plans to flip it
What 180 systems leaders said at the Systemic Investing Summit in London
The difference between talking systems change and actually doing it
Why philanthropic foundations may be perpetuating the very problems they aim to solve
What compost, Guernsey, and collective ownership have in common
The emotional toll of facing collapse—and how people in this space still find hope
This is not a conversation about tweaks. It’s a call to rebuild finance as infrastructure for life—not extraction.

Beyond Money First: Vicki Saunders on Community-Driven Capital and the Next Economic System

In this groundbreaking episode of Chasing Financial Equality, host Kane Jackson sits down with Vicki Saunders, the transformative founder of Coralus (formerly SheEO), who has circulated over $19 million to 190 ventures through a radical new approach to funding. From her roots on a Canadian farm where she learned to dream and experiment without fear of failure, to leading what she calls a "400-year turning point in economic thinking," Vicki shares her vision for replacing extractive financial systems with models based on radical generosity and community support.
The conversation explores how Coralus uses zero percent interest loans and network-based support to back ventures led by women, non-binary individuals, and marginalised communities - achieving a remarkable 95% loan repayment rate. Vicki challenges fundamental economic assumptions, from Adam Smith to modern venture capital, while painting a picture of what's possible when we design financial systems that heal rather than extract.

The Climate & Finance Emergencies Are One!

Today's guest is Marjorie Kelly, Distinguished Senior Fellow at The Democracy Collaborative and author of an incredible new book about how Wealth Supremacy is an emergency equal to climate. It's been labeled a must read, and for good reason. In this episode we speak about how solving climate for the future goes hand in hand with solving the finance emergency, talk about how collective ownership of companies is the way forward, and discuss the issues that so many of us in society are feeling today through the lens of an unprecedented cost of living crisis that is the product of a globa, emergency we need to address. This is a must listen for anyone who says they're committed to securing the sustainability of a future that, as it stands, few of us will be afford to live in even if we're lucky enough to make it there.
