Top Tier Impact - The Surprising Solution to Climate Change: Rebuilding Communities (ft.Alessa Berg)

In today's show, I'm receiving Alessa Berg the Founder of Top Tier Impact, a global ecosystem of impact investors, LPs, entrepreneurs, professionals and public figures in more than 45 countries. TTI runs weekly impact investment events across its 40+ city chapters and during gatherings such as the World Economic Forum and COP.

We discuss:

-The steps to successfully build a global network of impact and the actual results 4 years into this amazing experiment

-The crucial role that communities have to play to give us a chance to solve humanity's biggest challenges

-The importance of spiritual awakening and why we need to take a profound step back from our societal dogmas in order to draw a more sustainable path for Humanity

-Why Climate Change is only the tip of the iceberg and a symptom of a more fundamental problem --- our relationship with nature and with ourselves
