(Conversation recorded on September 24th, 2024) It is frequently true that those who will inherit the greatest consequences of our climate crisis – today's youth – have the least voice in shaping what happens next. But if given a seat at the table, what would these children have to say about creating a more sustainable path forward? In this Reality Roundtable, Nate sits down with documentarian Damon Gameau and three young activists featured in his documentary film The Future Council, to discuss their experiences grappling with the complex challenges of transforming a system that is actively harming our planet and what they think should be done to save humanity from itself. What do kids think about the actions of the most powerful and wealthy individuals and corporations in our global societies? How would they act differently if they had children sitting in their boardrooms? Finally, what would the world look like if we incorporated the hopes and fears of the youngest amongst us into our decision-making for the future? About David Gameau: Damon Gameau is an Australian film director, speaker and author.

A few years ago, (pre Spiritual Misfits) I was making a podcast called Man;Kind. It was primarily a show about the unhelpful gender moulds we place on each other, with particular reference to manhood and masculinity etc. The name of the show was supposed to beg the question: could the word ‘man' become more associated with kindness than power or strength or aggression. During the production of that show I got to do one of my favourite interviews that I've done to date, with someone I admire very much. Australian film maker, Damon Gameu. His films include ‘that sugar film', ‘2040' and more recently ‘Regenerating Australia'.For various reasons I won't bore you with that interview got a little lost and never really got the audience I think it was worthy of. And I think you dear misfit listeners, are very likely to love and benefit from this chat.Although the angle of the interview is somewhat grounded in ideas of gender and manhood in particular, there is so much about this conversation that relates to what we often explore on Spiritual Misfits (and of course I should also note that many of the issues around masculinity are extremely relevant to Christian spaces which can be responsible for doubling down on outdated gender roles, rather than helping us critique and transcend them). But beyond gender, Damon and I asked questions around how we make new meaning when our old models have largely let us down. How we tap into awe and wonder. And how we can care for our one planet in the midst of ecological crisis. We also touch on the desire for the transcendent and the need for collective social change rather than just individual responsibility. It was such a helpful conversation for me at the time and I learned a lot from Damon.So, with all that in mind I hope you enjoy this conversation!
Damon Gameau - A call to arms for storytellers! It's time to shine the spotlight on our story tellers; the creatives, film makers, artists, poets, chefs, writers and musicians. "If our storytellers cannot find a way then the way cannot be found". Join Jade & Damon in this conversation about defying the attention economy, ways to avoid being numbed but the inertia of the system (which is not actually our friend - despite it being dressed up that way) and why rites of passage could be the answer to rebuilding our culture .Finally, we ask the big question - how do you define ENOUGH. If you've loved Damon's films 2040 & That Sugar Film you're in for one exceptionally powerful convo with this captivating & clever creative.Episode SummaryPeople are seeking leadership that doesn't use language without humanisationSo much of the story we are told now is dictated by extraction, competition, rivalry,The shift from humans with animus beliefs to industrialised beliefsDefining our collective stories through the feedback from our creative & soul stirring storytellersDefying the attention economy by stepping away from the barraging information torrent to allow for conscious decisionsFinding your place in action Choosing to understand rather than polarisingSlowing our judgement despite the push for pace - let a slowly defined opinion be yours Acknowledging we agree on a desire for community, healthy children, access to food….and we are not actually dividedTaking responsibility of our own individual actions and teach our children to listen & to understandWhy its NOT human nature to be greedy & selfish, because we've evolved through a deeply cooperative, symbiotic spirit.Rewrite our culture away from competitive nature & highlight our dependency on each other Finding your path of individualism within the collective Deradicalising the truth of what we need to doConsidering context when storytelling to shift the needle Building a less fragile systemWhy it's not a nationalist sentiment if you want sovereignty of independenceShifting from being a consumer to being a citizenBuilding wings that will allow us to fly high and thrive with our culture providing the windManifesting creativity and ingenuity by working with our kidsShaping, creating and changing culture through coexistence, lateral thinking and practical skills - starting with the education of our childrenThe dance between peril and possibility Turning emerging science into magical stories to captivate kids imaginations Prison inmates in the States spend more time outdoors than our childrenThe ongoing process of unlearning as flawed humans Deciding what's enough.

Anthony James is an award-winning facilitator and educator, Prime Ministerial award-winner for service to the international community, a widely published writer, Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia and an all-round good egg.The RegenNarration podcast that he hosts features the stories of a generation that is changing the story, enabling the regeneration of life on this planet. It's well worth a listen if you are keen to be inspired by good people doing great things.I hope you enjoy this wild roving conversation with Anthony, as much as I did.Here are some of the things we discuss:- The magic of doing a podcast.- It's the humility and integrity of people that's the biggest benchmark of regeneration.- You could end up with a dim view of human nature if you just follow the news, but Anthony finds that people with integrity and doing amazing things are everywhere.- Ben Zander, giving people a grade A.- The old way of ‘belt the bad out of them' and drill them to success.- Where is the balance?- The really dark times and how key teachers helped.- Keeping the act up.- Words pass flippantly once time passes but at the time, you can feel like something is the end of the world.- Systems thinking.- Monash University for degree.- Obliviousness to options. He went home to Perth and realised that he was home.When you are going through something, you can't even see that there are options.- Keeping the performance up. On a scholarship and fit, quit binge drinking at 18.- How Frank Fisher helped Anthony re-engage with passion.- To understand all is to forgive all.- Frank connected the dots.- Embodying the integrity versus walking the talk.- If we don't keep invested in our public institutions it might be ok for us, but what about everyone else.- Yeshi, Anthony's son, is 8. His learning sky-rocketed on the road. The blend is powerful, his sociability, mechanical skills, engagement with aboriginal communities, understanding of different environments.- His son has seen things that are terrible, but also what's amazing.- Speaking to adults.- Anthony used to be scared of talking to a pastoralist when he was a kid.- Inter-generational trauma. Anthony's dad was in school since the age of 4.- Rooster or the lamb (Maggie Dent)- Black or white in the media, but everything is nuanced (humans just don't like it). Anthony is embracing a hybrid model.- Modelling trying to use devices less (or at least being cognisant of the allure of technology).- Jodie Jackson (News Literacy Network)- You are what you read book (how changing our media diets changes the world) Ep 133 on the RegenNarationn podcast.- Utterly distributed media landscape - not just the crisis- Interview with Paul Hawken and how our brains are wired to be 10x more attuned to death and destruction.- How can we ever think we can cut ourselves off from the village?- Cathy McGowan.- Democracy is now more with ourselves in our neighbourhoods. People are now getting back together, post COVID, to get people together.- We have to invest to stay invested.- Rites of passage. - Anthony travelled around the country when Yeshi was 4.- Get on-country to figure out what is happening.- When they were travelling around Australia Yeti's mechanical skills, like reading, kicked off. Maybe reading became Yeti's cave.- Charlotte's Web.- Regeneration- The systems and stories we live by.- It's not just changing a lightbulb or recycling. It's systemic cultural change that we require. Where we are seeing that, the results are massive and rapid.- If you're open enough.- Sustainability is more about changeability.- We're not perpetuating the masters of the universe story, we are assuming our part in the tapestry in order for the system to do it's thing.- The real issue is getting the conditions right and then life takes hold.- Regeneration is about putting life at the centre of everything in every moment, and let it do its thing.- Adam Goodes. Australian of the Year, had to disappear to get some kind of bearing. He got back on-country to find himself.- Getting around the fire (Mia Mia) with Eugene Eades. It grounded or sanctified the conversation. The wind spoke.- Anthony records outdoors so that nature has a say.- In this case the wind swept through and there was a tangible moment of silence. - Regeneration is the difference between fabricating an environment—agriculture that just sprays the crap out of things, kills in the name of growing. If we separate ourselves from the source of life, it at least won't be weaving its magic on us. If we dominate it, it's not going to be doing its thing anywhere and we'll be facing a death spiral.- With the source of life, it animates in ways we don't have full rationale ideas of.- Walking through farmlands that have come back from being destroyed, on incredible scales in amazing ways, is a matter of two short years. It's super exciting.- Political transformation in Australia.- Most people might be flying under the radar, but are ok to put their money where their mouth is, but it wasn't translating to parliament.- This is why Damon Gameau and Anthony found that the amazing things that are actually happening to turn around the environment are flying under the radar.- Kate Fenech, the 14 year old that worked with her mom to research thoroughly to decide which party she should vote for yet was not old enough to vote.- There is a whole body of thought to lower the voting age to 6. All the predictable objections, such as wouldn't you just be doubling the parents' vote are not standing up.- Kids being their own people.- The culture is different now. When parties began, they were strong. Like the industrial agriculture process, were probably good at the time, but now there is a shift.- The illusion that we, as parents, are in control.- The importance of language.- There is a place for everyone at this table.

This week's episode is something extraordinary. Last week featured a conversation with Di and Ian Haggerty, in a shearing shed filled by 170 people from right around the country. You might remember it ended with Di's passing reference to some amazing insight that Noongar woman Heidi Mippy had shared. Heidi is an author, senior staffer with the Noongar Land Enterprise Group, and so much more. She had been personally invited to this event by Di, in anticipation of further growing the relationships they'd been treasuring with First Nations people. But no one could have anticipated what ended up unfolding while this event was taking place. Ian and I were told of what Di already knew at that point, after the conversation between Di, Ian and I ended. Later in the day, after a farm tour, there was to be a panel conversation. It was to bring Di and Ian together with co-founder of natural intelligence farming, Jane Slattery, and long-time collaborator and organiser of this event, the CEO of Nutrisoil Nakala Maddock. Given the amazing story unfolding in the background, and that we'd ended the morning session talking about the richness on offer for landholders in inviting First Nations people in, I suggested acting on that here and now. Heidi was subsequently invited to join that afternoon dialogue, and thankfully accepted the invitation. This is part of what ensued. This conversation was recorded live at the Haggerty farm in the WA wheatbelt on 24 October 2022. Title slide image: an aerial image of Wagyl (SmartSoil Media).

What if we focussed on what we should be fighting for, instead of what we should be fighting against? When all we hear is apocalyptic climate disaster, we can shut down, pour another glass of wine and find the next Netflix binge. When we only tell the story of a fearful future, the sense of being overwhelmed induces a paralysis that suppresses the creative potential of human possibility. Director of the acclaimed documentary, "2040", Damon Gameau joins Dom and Peter to discuss his most recent short film, "Regenerating Australia". The film, and this conversation, is a testimony to the power of story-telling to reawaken the human spirit and respond to the greatest challenges of our time through collaborative community.

Dr Amanda Cahill is the CEO of The Next Economy. I feel like I've already introduced Amanda to you, given how often she's come up in conversations here. And you might even recognise her from Damon Gameau's film 2040, or more recently on the ABC's Q&A program. Amanda's work at The Next Economy supports communities, government, industry and others to develop a more resilient, just and regenerative economy. Most of this work results from being increasingly invited into regional communities around Australia. These are often major coal-producing communities at the centre of energy transition debates in this country. Tensions are often high, and polarisation rife, which has made us all subject to political exploitation at times. And we all lose from that. But Amanda's work with these communities is creating a different trajectory. And now it's not just communities inviting in The Next Economy - but governments, industry and media (even globally). I first met Amanda back in 2016, at the outset of the New Economy Network of Australia. We got to know each other a little at panel conversations and the like, as recognition of her work grew. But when we last caught up at her place in late 2018, it seemed like The Next Economy was going to end before it had even really begun. How things have changed. Soon after came the first transformative shift. And in the last year alone, the organisation has grown eight-fold. Transformative change is gaining momentum – across multiple inter-related systems. But Amanda's still feeling concerned. The next three years are vital, she says. And all largely pending how well we can be really present with each other, deeply listen, and support communities in the transitions underway everywhere. This conversation was recorded at Amanda's place in Brisbane, on 14 July 2022. Title slide image: Amanda Cahill at home, just before this conversation (pic: Anthony James).

Kate Fenech is a 15 year old student who's found herself part of the extraordinary SS4C movement (the School Strikes for Climate), with growing passions for marine science and regenerative farming. I met her when we were both late conscripts to a premiere screening of Regenerating Australia in Busselton, WA, that ended up becoming a unique post-film dialogue. The film's director, Damon Gameau, was a late withdrawal, as was young activist and author, Bella Burgemeister. So Kate and I stepped into the breach, and that seemed to set up a vibe among the 75 or so people present of, ‘well I guess it's just us!' And to tell you the truth, for a while, I wondered if the whole thing was going to bomb. I've never hosted an event with an audience that was so pin-drop quiet. But that silence turned out to be more a measure of how much people were listening and contemplating, as just about everybody stayed, and we even drifted over time a little, for what became a frank, vital and ultimately wonderful community conversation. 3.45m - A short welcome from me 5.20m - A pre-recorded introduction to the film by Damon.

Professor Fred Provenza is the legendary behavioural ecologist and author who has revolutionised how we understand the nature of animal health and intelligence, and its connection to our human health and intelligence. This includes the regenerative role of livestock, in all sorts of ways. And through his own deep personal trials and transformations, Fred has come to embody this knowledge in ways that shine a light not only on the extraordinary regenerative capacities of nature, including humans, but how regenerating all human systems stems from the wisdom of our bodies. Fred's published a few books on all this, culminating a few years ago in his master work, ‘Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom'. It's been called a ‘paradigm-changing exploration' with ‘implications that could vastly improve our health through a simple change in the way we view our relationships with the plants and animals we eat'. Montana Public Radio said: “Nourishment is a conversation between science, culture, and a greater spiritual or cosmological umbrella.” Indeed, you might describe this conversation the same way. More on Fred: As professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University, Provenza directed an award-winning research group focused on how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soils and plants with herbivores and humans. In addition to penning a book, he is one of the founders of BEHAVE, an international network of scientists and land managers. This conversation was recorded online, with Fred at home in Montana USA, on 8 June 2022. Title slide image: Fred Provenza.

Damon Gameau, the award-winning director of That Sugar Film and 2040, toured his new film Regenerating Australia around Western Australia's south a few weeks ago. Joining him on the panel in Leederville was highly regarded First Nations woman Heidi Mippy, Natural Intelligence Farming co-founder Dianne Haggerty, and me. Ballardong Noongar man, Oral McGuire, who you'll have heard mentioned a bit on this podcast (like in eps 87 and 105), granted us the privilege of his powerful Welcome to Country. And as you'll hear, in some ways, proceedings on this night presaged the transformative federal election that was to come two days later (see ep 121 for more on that). Incidentally, I'll release the inspiring panel conversations from Margaret River and Fremantle for subscribers to the podcast on Patreon – so do jump on there if you haven't yet! And I ended up hosting the Busselton event, where a very distinct conversation took place – I'll have that out for you all to hear soon. For now, it's over to Leederville, where 300 people came along for this final west coast screening, the penultimate event of Damon's national tour. Oral's Welcome – 3.00m Damon's entry at the end of the film & panel exchange – 9.00m Questions from the audience – 21.45m This panel conversation was recorded at Luna Cinema in Leederville, Perth, on 19 May 2022.

On Episode 315 of Impact Boom, Damon Gameau of 2040 and That Sugar Film discusses how communities are more effectively informing climate change policy, and how film and television can be used as a medium to convey social impact and societal changes.
Charlie's guest for this episode of TRJ is Rose Kentish. Rose is an enigma - combining her love of making wine that captures the flavours and perfume of landscape and terroir, with social change, species preservation, regenerative farming and climate action. She is a woman 'for purpose' much like her beverage company Sparkke. Head over here to see show notes and links.
Kim Paul Nguyen is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced a documentary film called ‘Conversations with Coal Miners about Climate Change', funded by the Walkley Foundation and distributed by VICE. And what a film. Damon Gameau, the award-winning filmmaker of 2040, That Sugar Film, and most recently Regenerating Australia, calls it a ‘must-watch'. In many ways, there is no more important a story. And Kim navigates it beautifully. Though not without hitting up against the challenges that make this work so vital. Out of the story's dramatic and moving turns so much is revealed, including how coal miners, and the rest of us, are too often used as political pawns. And how we can get out of that trap, to have a chance at achieving more of the bigger picture outcomes just about all of us want. Kim's is a heck of a life story to date, and this provides the backdrop to the film. As a young person deeply concerned about climate change, he became a committed activist. In 2009 he cycled from Australia to Denmark to promote action on climate change, and was nominated for Young Australian of the Year. But it started to dawn on him that what he was doing wasn't working. It wasn't changing things the way he'd hoped. So he headed north, camera in hand, to dig deeper into what might. Kim has also written for The Guardian, Al Jazeera, VICE and the Big Issue. This conversation was recorded online with Kim at home in Sydney, on 11 May 2022.

This week, I'm speaking to Reece Proudfoot, he's Head of Innovation & Impact Investment at WWF Australia. That's right, the charity with the Panda as it's logo, that's worked hard for decades on conservation and saving animal habitats. They're going beyond their projects in the field and they're also investing in systems change by supporting high-impact enterprises. And that's what we're all about here on the Good Future podcast, I'm your host John Treadgold, and I'm asking the big questions about the business of sustainability, the new economy, and how your spending and investment decisions can have an impact. Reece found his way to WWF as a campaigner, but he knew all too well the challenge of raising awareness as the world has grown noisier, as well as raising money when people have so many worthy causes in front of them. Like all good startup founders, he made a pivot, and helped launch Panda Labs, WWF's impact accelerator program. Since them they've seeded and grown enterprises like OpenSC, a supply chain platform that tracks food sources on the blockchain. And more recently, the business ImpactIO, which brings people together around a central challenge, and then links project leaders, with both supporters and investors. Their most recent Challenge is called Innovate to Regenerate and it's a partnership with Damon Gameau who has released a new short film, all about bringing people together to Regenerate Australia. Now I'm sure you'd hear Reece talk about it, so let's get into it. All the links and show notes are on my website at www.johntreadgold.com, and if you'd like to leave a review, which would be greatly appreciated, you can do that over on Apple podcasts. Alright here's my conversation, with Reece Proudfoot, here we go!
"It's all well and good to sound the fire alarm, but you've also got to show people where the exits are." That's the philosophy behind Damon Gameau's latest film, Regenerating Australia. It's the result of months of in-depth conversations with people across Australia, and imagines what the country could look like by the end of this decade, if a few key decisions were made. As he tours the film, Gameau's hoping to provide communities with the tools that they need to get involved in creating that future.

This week Laura Turner's guest is award-winning screen director, author and activist, Damon Gameau. Damon is best known for his smash documentary hit ‘That Sugar Film' to coincide with his accompanying best-selling book ‘That Sugar Book'. His latest short film ‘Regenerating Australia' is one which transports viewers into the future world of 2029, as the tumultuous 2020's draw to a close. The film then asked the questions ‘What would Australia look like by 2030 if we simply listened to the needs of its people'?Damon has had sporadic roles as an actor in some highly acclaimed shows, and has won various AACTA and AFI awards, among his large collection of great works.
Charlie caught up with Glen on his new farm to explore his regenerative journey. It's clear his 7 years at sea circumnavigating the globe with his parents as a boy set up attitudes and behaviours that have stood him in good stead through his fascinating business life, developing personal brands and scaling up businesses. His observations of the similarities between the principles of regenerative agriculture and his own business principles are refreshing to say the least. Head over here to see show notes and links.
In this episode, Alena share's the powerful intersection between the inner work we do on ourselves, and the actions we take to regenerate the natural world. Community and connection and survival are all interlinked.

Damon Gameau has been a wonderful presence in so many of our lives for a couple of decades now - from his prominent acting career, to his transformation into an award-winning film-maker. There's his timeless Tropfest winner Animal Beatbox, through to his legendary documentary features That Sugar Film and 2040. Now there's a new film about to launch, with the vision honed towards 2030. This vital decade. It's another master work – a short film with a big story. It's called Regenerating Australia. Along with the film, there'll be another huge outreach effort, a community projects funding program, and more. This time, Damon draws on visions expressed by communities around Australia, uniting on key themes across political and other divides. This is our take off point, and from there our conversation weaves through some of the many layers of the film, our country, and our respective personal paths. From what Regeneration means, and how to protect it, to the practicalities of how the film will roll out in the lead up to a pivotal and promising federal election. The community independents movement continues to gather momentum, along with so many other aspects of regeneration. Though I wondered, given Damon's focus on these stories of regeneration, how we might hold the darker aspects. And how his friendship with the late great Aboriginal performer David Gulpilil shaped his understanding of story, from the perspective of this Country's first story-tellers. You'll also hear a sneak preview of the beautiful soundtrack to the new film. This conversation was recorded online on 11 February 2022. Title slide image: Damon Gameau (supplied).

Damon Gameau is an award winning film director, producer, storyteller, author and activist. In 2015, he released his debut feature documentary That Sugar Film, which became the highest grossing Australian documentary of all time. It's been released in over 25 territories and picked up a host of awards around the world. His accompanying campaign book, That Sugar Book, was a best seller in Australia, has been published in 20 countries and translated into 8 languages. Damon's latest masterpiece is the hybrid feature documentary 2040 which went on to become one of the highest grossing Australian documentaries of all time. 2040 was motivated by Damons concerns about the planet his 4-year-old daughter would inherit, Damon embarked on a global journey to meet innovators and changemakers in the areas of economics, technology, civil society, agriculture, education and sustainability. Drawing on their expertise, he sought to identify the best solutions, available to us now, that would help improve the health of our planet and the societies that operate within it. From marine permaculture to decentralised renewable energy projects, he discovered that people all over the world are taking matters into their own hands. This journey is the central premise for the documentary ‘2040', a story of hope that looks at the very real possibility that humanity could reverse global warming and improve the lives of every living thing in the process. It is a positive vision of what ‘could be', instead of the dystopian future we are so often presented. In this episode we sit down with Damon in front of a live audience in the Soma dome and explored his remarkable personal journey and the rising tide of innovative change that is taking place across the planet, much of which we never hear about. Damon calls upon our need for radical hope and radical regenerative action to restore balance to our precious planet and all those beings who share it.
