À propos du podcast

Bennu Community is a living archive of nonlinear journeys: migration, identity, work, belonging, and the process of becoming.

Chapter One brought together 40 long-form conversations with internationals, founders, creatives, researchers, and community voices, most of them building a life and a career in the Netherlands. Chapter Two, Forward Signals, continues with reflections, conversations, and field notes.

Bennu keeps the human story. Flux Forward reads what that story reveals about readiness, direction, and context.

Bennu Community is part of the Flux Forward ecosystem.

    Notes de l’épisode

    Ingrid Tappin’s story moves across countries, careers, identities, and communities, but one thread keeps returning: the search for belonging.


    In this episode of Bennu, Ben Brink and Alex Baker-Friesen speak with Ingrid about growing up across cultures, moving from media and entrepreneurship into leadership and inclusion, and eventually founding Diverse Leaders in Tech.


    Ingrid reflects on what it means to have a “patchwork identity,” why lived experience can become a source of strength, and how the tension between who we are and how the world sees us can shape the way we grow and lead.


    The conversation also turns to internationals building a life in the Netherlands, the difficulty of starting again in a new context, and why belonging is not something we create alone.


    Ingrid Tappin is the founder of Diverse Leaders in Tech and author of Exceptionals: How to Turn Identity Into Your Greatest Leadership Edge.


    Hosted by Ben Brink and Alex Baker-Friesen.

    Notes de l’épisode

    In this episode of Bennu, Ben Brink and Charline Baker-Friesen speak with Shivangi Dhakad about moving from India to the Netherlands, finding freedom, and learning what it means to build a life between cultures.


    Shivangi shares how an unexpected opportunity brought her from India to Netherlands, and how her first experience of the Amsterdam city changed the way she thought about freedom, safety, and possibility. She also reflects on the harder parts of living abroad: missing family, food, language, rituals, and the sense of community she grew up with.


    The conversation also explores how moving countries changed her relationship with work, ambition, and identity. Over time, she learned to slow down, make more space for life outside work, and accept that both India and the Netherlands can feel like home.


    Shivangi also talks about the pressure to fit in, the value of staying open to a new culture without losing your own identity, and why belonging is less about labels and more about being able to be yourself.


    Topics in this episode include:


    • moving from India to the Netherlands
    • freedom, safety, and cultural adjustment
    • family, community, and belonging
    • work, ambition, and slowing down
    • identity and living between two homes
    • fitting in without losing yourself
    • trust, friendship, and building community

    Undoing What We Know

    A Systems Approach to Learning, Leading, and Letting Go

    With Carla Traini


    In this episode of the Bennu Community Podcast, we explore how to think beyond the obvious — and why unlearning is just as important as learning.

    Our guest, Carla Traini, is a systemic thinker, cross-functional educator, and mentor with a background spanning design, anthropology, psychology, and education. From leading global creative teams to mentoring emerging talents, she shares how complexity, curiosity, and human behavior intersect to shape the way we learn, lead, and make decisions.


    We discuss:


    • What it means to “undo” what we know
    • Why seeing both the forest and the trees matters
    • The role of systemic thinking in education, entrepreneurship, and leadership
    • How to navigate uncertainty with awareness, not assumption
    • And why following your passion might not always be the best idea

    Narrative Isn’t About Today: Storytelling as a Future-Building Tool

    with Megan Davis, Lead Storyteller of Spendlove and Lamb


    What if storytelling wasn’t just about reflecting the past — but about designing the future?

    In this episode, we sit down with Megan Davis, a narrative strategist and lead storyteller, to explore how stories can shape culture, drive transformation, and build clarity in moments of change. From co-designing strategic narratives with communities and startups to challenging the limits of traditional storytelling frameworks, Megan invites us to rethink what it really means to tell a meaningful story — one that moves us forward.


    Together, we unpack:


    • What a strategic narrative really is
    • How stories influence culture and innovation
    • Why storytelling is a future skill — not just a communication tool
    • The power of diverse narrative structures beyond the “hero’s journey”
    • How to find and amplify authentic voices in noisy environments


    This conversation is a reminder that your story isn’t just about where you’ve been — it’s a compass for where you’re going.

    With Martin Calnan — UNESCO Chair for Futures Literacy in Finance


    In this thought-provoking episode, we explore what it truly means to be futures literate — not as a framework or buzzword, but as a way of being in the world. Martin Calnan shares his personal journey from marketing and consulting to pioneering futures literacy in finance, and invites us to rethink how we define value, power, and leadership.


    Together, we dive into deep questions about assumptions, vulnerability, and agency — and how asking “whose voice isn’t being heard?” can shift the way we imagine and act on the future.
