Launching Be An Idea Reading Pods

Launching Be An Idea Reading Pods

Today, we're soft launching our Be An Idea Reading Pods, our interpretation of a book club gathering. The platform aims to connect people of purpose with each other and ideas that will help them be more effective in delivering social impact and positive change for their communities. Each quarter takes a look at three select books with interested readers being organised into small pods that connect through a number of facilitated conversations over the same period. Pod members are encouraged to discuss, reflect and explore how the content can be made relevant for themselves, their fellow participants and their communities.

Pivot. Pivot. Pivot.

Be An Idea is changing. In fact, we've been quietly changing over the last several months and what's really changed is that we're ready to announce this to the world. We recognise that being a 6-year old enterprise that is still pivoting in start-up mode feels very much like being Steve Carell's Andy Stitzer character in Forty Year Old Virgin. We've pivoted a few times and each new pivot sows plenty of confusion about what we do.

Fifty years, and fifty more

Fifty years, and fifty more

I am very pleased to wish Singapore a happy birthday from myself and behalf of Be An Idea. Over 9 years ago, I came to the shores of this island nation with a hope to build a life, and it has been amazing to see how the country has developed in a short decade, let alone the last 50 years. While other countries are locked into a direction by the weight of history and their culture, as a young nation, Singapore has an emerging discourse on its direction and values that is both vibrant. It feels like a work in progress, but one that its people, residents and foreigners can still greatly influence in the choices that we make.
