I always enjoy catching up with people doing interesting things who specialise in things that we can all learn about. In this case I talked with Paul McGregor about Facilitation. However we start with his early years and what he studied - the law - and how that has led to what he does through a series of realisations. What has been your career path and what has been instrumental in where you are today - and where you might go? We learn a lot from Paul by reflecting on his journey.

1This is the audio version of my reading out the legal opinion that I wrote which Parry Field Lawyers has released this week on the 20th March 2024. It tackles the issue of large funds and trusts which have amounts they invest, often conservatively. It asks: do those in governance of such entities actually now have a positive duty to invest funds for impact? I argue that they do for a variety of reasons. For example, because the new Trusts Act 2019 includes provisions which mean Trustees should consider the original purpose that the Trust was set up for when they go about investing. As well as that, some of their duties can be modified now which would allow them to invest for impact and advancing the purpose of their Trust. The opinion also outlines the 9 practical realities that I think need to be considered as well – check them out too. On the same day as releasing this am in conversation with Shamubeel Eaqub about impact investing - what it is, how it is growing and the impact for both business and charities. Watch out for that as a follow up episode. Thanks to my wife Ellie Moe for reading the headings of the opinion in this episode. All of this is a follow on from the successful Seeds Impact Conference that had 500 attend and 100 speakers, this is a one off session designed to stimulate both thinking and action. The video will be uploaded afterwards at https://www.parryfield.com/impact-investing-information-hub/ For other episodes visit www.theseeds.nz
I went back to my former High School and spoke with 55 students about creativity and integrating it into all of your life. I try and do this as a lawyer and so it was really fun to reflect on my own journey in the last 30 years since I had been sitting in their seats. Hope you enjoy! Another reflection on these concepts of creativity https://theseeds.nz/podcast/creativity-vulnerability-give-it-all-give-it-now-2/ Another episode on these themes with Preston Hegel https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/preston-hegel-on-creativity-art-and-building/id1281908185?i=1000575241025 www.theseeds.nz
Change is a certainty in life, but how will you cope with it? I enjoyed talking with Rob Cousins about the venture he cofounded called Open Change. As usual we start with his childhood and then hear about his life journey and what led him to Aotearoa New Zealand what he does today. The podcast aims to get at the underlying stories of what has shaped people into who they are becoming and is a deeper glimpse into a life than we normally get. We then talk about the complex and entangled challenges that are all around us - how do you approach them? The website of Open Change described the issue like this: "Change used to be done to people. This was convenient for change-makers, but it was rarely successful, or sustainable, and tended to be rolled out to more or less unwilling consumers. Nowadays, knowledge and power is dispersed among many actors and institutions. No-one controls anything anymore, but everyone influences everything."

Thanks for helping remind me what it was like to be 11. Basketball story is great!
A few weeks ago, I sat down with Steven and had a solid, fun, recorded conversation on purpose and life. Steven recently published a legal handbook on social enterprises in New Zealand and has been doing interviews with entrepreneurs and social enterprises about their journeys on this podcast. Through mutual friends and overlapping circles we got connected quite quickly. I feel honored to have been invited to be on the podcast. The growing list of humans and their truly impressive set of accomplishments and contributions to earth and society are humbling. Steven masterfully guided the conversation from my childhood to teenager years as an immigrant, as he waives into it his own story and aspirations, and we move into my university days and during that the exposure to the greater world, its beauty, its problems, my craft, and my finding of sometimes-often bumpy pathways that have taken me where I am currently. I told him it has been years since anyone has dug that deep to my past-histor
