New World in the Making

In this episode of New World in the Making, I sit down with Mônica Felício Fragoso, architect, urban planner, and co-founder of Shifted, a climate tech startup reimagining how the world stores electricity.Mônica spent 18 years in the automotive industry before making the leap into the startup world. And what she's building now reflects everything that experience taught her about systems, scale, and what it actually takes to change the physical world.Shifted's technology combines two of the most proven energy systems we already have, pumped hydro and compressed air, into one long-duration storage solution that uses no rare materials, no lithium, no cobalt. Just steel, water, and air. It's a radical simplification hiding a sophisticated answer to one of the hardest problems in the energy transition: what do we do when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing?We talk about:How Shifted's hybrid pumped hydro and compressed air system actually worksWhy long-duration storage is the missing piece of the renewable energy puzzleWhat 18 years in automotive taught Mônica about designing systems that scaleThe leap from corporate career to co-founding a deep tech startupWhy building with abundant materials matters for a truly global energy transitionThe role of heat management in making compressed air storage efficientWhat it means to design something for the public good, not just the marketThe deeper question underneath all of it: what kind of world are we building?For anyone curious about the energy transition, long-duration storage, climate tech, systems design, and what it looks like when an architect decides to redesign the grid.→ Listen & subscribe: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00About Shifted Shifted develops long-duration energy storage by combining pumped hydro and compressed air, a mineral-free, scalable alternative to lithium batteries designed to make renewable energy fully dispatchable. → Connect with Mônica Felício Fragoso on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monica-felicio-fragoso/ → Learn more about Shifted: https://shifted-energy.com/→ Shifted on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shifted-energy-storage/ ⚠️ DisclaimerAll content shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of New World in the Making, I talk with Rayan Kassis, CEO and co-founder of AED Energy, about the future of energy and what's actually changing right now.Rayan's company has developed thermal battery systems that store electricity as heat—delivering 6 to 32 hours of clean power at 10x cheaper than lithium batteries. They're deploying these systems in Nigeria, replacing diesel generators that burn millions of liters of fuel every year. This is about proving that renewables can work, at scale, 24/7.We question the systems we come from and explore what's emerging in this new energy landscape.We talk about:How thermal batteries work and why they're so much cheaperThe real barriers to scaling renewables—regulation, financing, industrial resistanceWhy decentralized energy changes everything for resilience and accessThe current moment in the Middle East and what oil dependence really costsHow geopolitics and policy shape the energy transitionEnergy storage as the key to 100% renewable systemsLeadership and human creativity in uncertain timesThis conversation brought things down to reality—showing what's possible when we start building instead of waiting.This is for anyone curious about energy transition, clean tech, decentralized systems, geopolitics, and how innovation is reshaping power—literally and politically.→ Listen & subscribe: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00About AED Energy StorageAED Energy develops ultra-low-cost thermal battery systems that enable 24/7 clean energy by storing electricity as heat.→ Connect with Rayan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rayankassis/→ Learn more about AED Energy: https://aed.energy/ ⚠️ DisclaimerAll content shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

En este episodio de New World in the Making converso con Sandra Castañeda-Elena, fundadora de Somos Stewards, ex parte del equipo fundador de Triodos Bank España y board member de B Lab Europe España, sobre una de las preguntas más profundas —y menos cuestionadas— del sistema económico actual: la propiedad empresarial.A lo largo de la conversación exploramos el modelo de steward ownership o propiedad responsable, una forma alternativa de estructurar las empresas para que el propósito esté protegido a largo plazo y guíe realmente la toma de decisiones. Hablamos de dinero y poder, de gobernanza, de incentivos, y de por qué la manera en la que poseemos las empresas condiciona profundamente su impacto en la sociedad.Sandra comparte su experiencia acompañando a empresas en la transición hacia modelos de propiedad más diversos y resilientes, los retos legales y culturales que implica este cambio, y la importancia de repensar la relación con inversores desde una lógica alineada con la misión.Esta conversación es una invitación a mirar la empresa no solo como un vehículo de beneficio, sino como una estructura viva, diseñada para custodiar un propósito en el tiempo.Este episodio es para ti si te interesa:Steward ownership y nuevos modelos de propiedad empresarialEmpresas con propósito y gobernanza responsableLa relación entre dinero, poder e incentivosModelos de inversión alineados con la misiónEl futuro de la empresa en una economía en transición→ Escucha y suscríbete en tu plataforma favorita: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Lee más reflexiones en Substack: New World in the Making: https://newworld.substack.com→ Apoya el proyecto y conviértete en Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00Descubre más sobre Sandra Castañeda-Elena: → Sigue en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-casta%C3%B1eda-elena-6a54819/ → Descubre Somos Stewards: https://somos-stewards.org/ → Contacta directamente: sandra@somos-stewards.org⚠️ DisclaimerAll content shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this conversation, I sit down with Lisa Gill, facilitator, coach, and host of Leadermorphosis, to explore what it really means to move toward radically decentralized organizations and why this shift is as much inner as it is structural.We explore why traditional hierarchies are struggling, how consent-based and advice processes change the way decisions are made, and why trust and accountability are not opposites but deeply interconnected. We also talk about psychological safety, discomfort as a catalyst for growth, and the inner maturity required to work without control.This episode is for anyone who has felt that something about work no longer fits, who senses that typical hierarchy isn’t the answer, or who is curious about what it takes to create organizations that are more human, responsible, and alive.→ Listen & subscribe on your favorite platform: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00Lisa Gill is a facilitator, coach, and organizational practitioner specializing in decentralized organizations, self-management, and inner development.

In this conversation, I sit down with Stephen Harris, co-founder and CFO of Learnlife, former principal of Northern Beaches Christian School (NBCS), and pioneer of learner-centered ecosystems, to explore what it truly means to rethink education from the ground up.Stephen shares why traditional schooling structures are struggling, what neuroscience now tells us about how humans learn, and why agency, safety, and relationships matter far more than curriculum.We also dive into the remarkable work happening in Rwanda, from community-rooted learning hubs to regenerative, sustainable models of education, and what it teaches us about adaptability, culture, and the future of learning systems.This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned schooling, sensed that children deserve something more alive, or wondered how we can create environments where every young person can thrive.→ Listen & subscribe on your favorite platform: https://bio.site/newworldinthemaking→ Read more on Substack: https://newworld.substack.com→ Support & become an Active Maker: https://buy.stripe.com/14A28qgJS86obz572U9oc00Stephen Harris is an educator, innovator, and co-founder of Learnlife, an organization reshaping education through personalized learning, neuroscience-aligned frameworks, and ecosystem thinking.
