As the global markets suffer further jitters, Dawna Jones talks to Dr Carl Calleman about how the role of money as the sole purpose for business and enterprise appears to be changing.

In this two-part interview, Dr Calleman puts forward an entirely new way of seeing the role of business in society.

The aim of the podcast is to offer an alterative viewpoint that may help business leaders and entrepreneurs to better deal with the volatility, uncertainly complexity and ambiguity in today's New Normal. It highlights how the separation of money from tangible entities and the worship of maximizing monetary gain is arbitrary and cultural, linked to left-brain dominance and poses serious issues for Society moving forward.

Carl's unique perspective offers a shift in understanding on how busines leaders can perceive and lead in this environment, where he believes complexity and uncertainty can in fact become our allies.

Part two of the series will get in to more detail and specifics around what many are predicting will be a fundamental re-structuring of the financial system and how business leaders can make sense of this chaos.
