#059 David Aikman: on democratising ESG, understanding positive feedback loops & abundance with DAOs

Hey it’s Steph Dickson and welcome to the Live Wide Awake podcast. Thank you for being one of our listeners in 88 countries around the world.
Today we are speaking with David Aikman - Co-Founder & CEO of ESG DAO, an open, democratic, and credibly neutral ESG scoring system that will power a new wave of Web3 applications to engage consumers and incentivize companies to create positive change in the world.
Over the last 25+ years, working for the International Olympic Committee and the World Economic Forum, David has created, curated, and led innovative communities that have changed the world for the better.
During his 17 years as Managing Director for the World Economic Forum - he created and ran the Young Global Leaders and the Global Shapers programme, which now has over 10,000 young leaders in 480 local hubs around the world.
In this conversation we talk about if we can hack capitalism to do things differently, democratising ESG, understanding positive feedback loops to create abundance amplified by web3 technologies, as well as understanding the role DAOs can play for society.
I hope you enjoy this smooth conversation thanks to our sound partner Audio-Technica.
Okay, it’s time to live wide awake.
