         \n\nFeb. 1  at  Cowell Theatre, Fort Mason, San Francisco, 
 CA\n\nUnconventional banker says banks can help us build a better, more 
 sustainable and abundant future for the 99% - not just the 1%\n\nCan banks 
 help build a better, more abundant world for individuals—not just 
 corporate interests? Join Ode Magazine in conversation with Arkadi 
 Kuhlmann, the visionary, outspoken founder and CEO of Ing. Direct, the 
 world's largest online bank, as he outlines an approach to “Rock the 
 Bank” by using money to build a better society that he believes will 
 deliver both individuals and companies to a more positive, balanced 
 future.\n\nThe event is the first in Ode Now, a new series of San Francisco 
 and International events from Ode, “The magazine for intelligent 
 optimists.” \n\nFeb. 1, 2012, 5 pm to 8 pm\nCowell Theatre Ft. Mason

 in person with reception. \nIncludes:\n\n- Reception with Organic wine and 
 appetizers provided by Frey Vineyards\n- A free copy of Arkadi Kuhlmann's 
 new book: \n- And an Ing. Kid's saving account with a $50 deposit.\n\nAN 
 OUTSIDE THE BOX HARLEY-RIDING BANKER \n\nUsually bankers are boring. Arkadi 
 Kuhlmann, CEO of Ing. the world's largest online bank, is far from boring. 
 Some call him the "Richard Branson of banking," and he's an outside the box 
 visionary thinker. \n\nOde Magazine spoke with him about the recent 
 financial crisis and he looked for solutions in unlikely places as the 
 history of Islam and of the Apache.  In Kuhlmann's vision, consumer banks 
 are "humble intermediaries," as he puts it. \n\n"We don't produce anything. 
 We don't save children who are ill. We don't go to the moon. We are just 
 oil in the economic machine. A bank should act as a utility. Our primary 
 function is to allocate money, resources within the economy. A bank bridges 
 the time gap between when people have extra resources-money-and when they 
 have a shortage of money."\n\nThat is very much inspiring, and much 
 necessary, thinking coming from an unexpected place. It sounds like a 
 relief when a mainstream banker is ready to redefine what banks are for. 
 The Occupy movement should take note. It very much fits Ode Magazine to 
 explore how we can re-envision the financial sector to make sure that it 
 serves the people rather than the 1% happy few.\n\nWhen Ode can have a 
 meaningful and relevant conversation with the CEO of a large corporate 
 bank, the world is moving to a better future. Besides, Arkadi Kuhlmann 
 reads palms and rides Harley's. \n\nJoin us for a great event in San 
 Francisco or online: www.odenow.com.\n\nSHORT FORMAT:\n \nOde Magazine
