On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

179. How to get your employer to offer matching donations 11:22

7 days ago11:22

11:22

Send us a text This week let’s chat about how you might convince your job to start an employee donation matching program so that your charitable giving can go twice as far. You’ll learn a simple three step plan to find a couple of allies, figure out who the decider is, and how to pitch your idea. Your colleagues will be thrilled that their donations will go farther, and your organization will be glad to have an employee perk that doesn’t cost much and can boost retention. Most importantly, the nonprofits in your community will benefit from your support in doing their good work. And who knows, after you convince your job to offer matching donations, maybe you’ll be ready to convince them to sign an environmental pledge or offer socially responsible 401(k) or 403(b) options?

It could be a public health issue, it could be a matter of safety in your community, it could even be the overall happiness of your community. When it comes to donating towards those causes, there are three different ways you can tackle the same problem: research, services, or advocacy. In today’s episode, let’s talk about what it means to tackle an issue from those three different angles and why you might pick one or the other.

Send us a text Do you ever wonder what your bank is doing with your cash? They keep some of it in reserves, of course, in case you need to withdraw it. But they also make a lot of decisions- about who to lend it to, which companies and politicians to back, and where they will invest your cash to make their own profits. That’s a lot of decisions! And it’s possible that your bank isn’t making decisions that line up with your values when it comes to the environment. Today’s episode is a continuation of this month’s climate series. Find out how to quickly find out if your bank is climate friendly and how to find a better option that is more aligned with your values.
