Host Lotima Vaioleti is joined by Benjamin Alder, designer, innovation strategist, and co-founder of The Wellbeing Protocol - a nonprofit reimagining how communities access funding. Together they unpack the rise of participatory grantmaking, how design thinking can reshape the flow of money for good, and what it means to shift power back to communities.

Benjamin shares insights from trials across Aotearoa, using blockchain and localism to build high-trust funding models that empower collective making from the ground up.
