Podcasts about Groundswell

Who should pay for nature, and are farmers receiving a fair share of the value created by regenerative farming? In this special edition of the Farmers Guardian podcast, our expert panel which includes three farmers; Dr Nikki Yoxall, Nuffield scholar and Pasture for Life technical director; Harriet Cherry, Groundswell director  and Wildfarmed agricultural relationship manager; and Adel Jones, regenerative farming consultant, explores one of the biggest questions facing agriculture today: how regenerative farming can become a profitable business model while continuing to produce food.The discussion, led by Farmers Guardian's Olivia Midgley, examines whether nature recovery should be rewarded through environmental payments or whether the benefits of regenerative farming already strengthen farm businesses through healthier soils, lower input costs and greater resilience. The panel also explores innovative finance models, including partnerships between farmers and the banking sector, and asks whether supply chains, retailers and brands are doing enough to reward those delivering environmental outcomes. From the practical realities of implementing regenerative farming to tackling greenwashing and ‘regenwashing' and the growing commercial appeal of ‘regen', the conversation looks at where value is created, where it is lost and how farmers can capture more of it. The episode was hosted at Groundswell as part of Farmers Guardian's 100 Women campaign, which shines a spotlight on the women spearheading change in agriculture and driving the sector forward.Message us

This episode is a companion to the upcoming Thought Leadership Handbook — part of a series where Bill speaks with exemplars featured in the book about how they actually practice thought leadership. There are plenty of books explaining what AI is. This one is about the person who decided to write a book that tells you what to do about it instead — and who's spent 25 years turning disruption into frameworks other people can actually use. Charlene Li joins Bill Sherman to talk about her new book, Winning with AI, co-written with Katia Walsh, and why this one felt different from her five previous titles. It's less an explainer, she says, and more a "doing book" — built for a moment when the case studies go stale before the ink dries. That tension opens into a bigger conversation about how ideas get made and shared. Charlene walks through the origin of Groundswell, the book that made her a New York Times bestseller, written entirely remotely with co-author Josh Bernoff while she was still an in-house analyst at Forrester. She's candid about what co-authorship actually requires — not just complementary skills, but real trust built over years, disagreements included. The conversation also digs into a business model question that shaped her career: when she left Forrester to found Altimeter, she gave research away for free, betting that value would come back around. It did — inbound demand from companies who'd read the free work and wanted the deeper conversation. Bill connects this to economist Elinor Ostrom's work on knowledge commons. Underneath it all is a simple throughline: frameworks outlast the moment they were built for. The "ladder of engagement" from Groundswell is still taught 18 years later — not because the case studies held up, but because the thinking did. If you're building a book, a body of research, or a career on ideas that might get overtaken by the next news cycle, this one's worth your time. Three Key Takeaways: • Co-authorship runs on trust, not just talent. Charlene describes working with multiple co-authors over her career and is clear that the deciding factor was never just complementary skill sets — it was years of built trust, the ability to disagree productively, and knowing when to step away from a deadline argument and come back with a clear head. • Give the idea away first — the business follows. At Altimeter, Charlene made research free when competitors charged for it, building an audience of 100,000+ readers almost overnight. The resulting inbound demand became the foundation of the business, illustrating a "blue ocean" alternative to the traditional pay-for-access analyst model. • Durable frameworks outlive their case studies. Charlene expects Winning with AI to need a new edition once roughly 20% of its examples go stale — but she draws a distinction between outdated examples and outdated thinking, pointing to Groundswell's "ladder of engagement," still taught 18 years after publication. If you enjoyed hearing Charlene Li unpack the thinking behind Winning with AI, go back to her first appearance on the show — episode 113, recorded back when she was preparing to launch The Disruption Mindset. Both conversations trace the same throughline: how Charlene builds frameworks that outlast the moment they were written for, whether she's leaving Forrester to found Altimeter or navigating a fast-moving AI landscape years later. Hearing the two together shows how consistent her approach to thought leadership has been across three very different books and two decades of change.

Hello, and welcome to Farmerama. Today, we're sharing an episode from our friends in Australia. SOIL: Rewilding the Underground is a 6-part documentary podcast that follows the farmers, scientists, Indigenous custodians and communities who are turning degraded dirt back into living soil. We're sharing episode one, which traces our relationship with soil over millennia, to understand how humanity impacts the living, breathing universe of soil hidden beneath our feet, and the role that we play in their ecosystems. The series is told by Freya Mulvey, a lawyer and environmental enthusiast, so it's a slightly different and wider ranging perspective on soil than we usually cover on Farmerama - we think you'll really enjoy it. If you do, go ahead and listen to the rest of the six-part series, and stay up to date with the amazing work that Jess and Freya are doing by following them on socials, adding your voice to their impact survey, or checking out the resources on their website - links below. As for Farmerama, we recently celebrated our 10th birthday! Thanks to all of you who've tuned in over this time - it's a real privilege that we get to share the voices, knowledge and practical learnings of people on the land and seas and as ever we are so grateful for all of you out there doing the work on the ground to build a more ecological farming future for us all. For those of you in the UK, we will be at Groundswell on the 1st and 2nd of July, and will be hosting evening drinks on July 1st, where we will hear from some Cereal Revisited contributors as well as more celebrating a decade of storytelling with Farmerama listeners.

Today we're back with Field to Front Door

Welcome to episode #1041 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when every leadership team is being told that artificial intelligence will change everything, Charlene Li has spent her career helping organizations separate signal from noise. A New York Times bestselling author and trusted advisor to CEOs and boards, Charlene first became widely known for helping leaders understand transformative shifts through books like Groundswell, Open Leadership and The Disruption Mindset. Her latest book, Winning With AI - The 90-Day Blueprint For Success, co-authored with Dr. Katia Walsh, tackles one of the most pressing questions facing business leaders today: not what AI is, but what to do about it. Drawing on research, executive interviews and practical experience, Charlene argues that organizations do not need an AI strategy… they need to rethink how AI serves their existing business strategy. In our conversation, she explores why most organizations are still struggling to move beyond experimentation, why leadership and transformation matter more than technology selection, and why the greatest opportunity may not be efficiency at all, but creating more human-centered organizations. Along the way, Charlene challenges conventional thinking about AI pilots, workforce transformation, organizational design and the future role of leadership in an era where intelligence itself is becoming abundant.

The Foundation of Leadership: Integrity and Accountability Keith Groundswell posits that leadership is a lifelong journey of learning, where the primary responsibility is to mentor others and make them better than oneself. He identifies integrity as the "first brick" of any leadership foundation; without it, even qualities like courage and discipline can be misdirected toward harmful ends. In the modern era, Groundswell notes that the ubiquity of social media and cameras acts as a form of external accountability, ensuring that a leader's public "happy face" matches their private actions. He argues that as one rises in an organization, the responsibility to work harder and act righteously increases rather than diminishes. A critical component of maintaining this integrity is the presence of an "accountability partner" or a tight inner circle. Groundswell highlights that leaders must surround themselves with people—whether a spouse or a professional command staff—who are empowered to tell the "honest truth" and challenge potentially poor decisions. He stresses that a leader must create an environment of trust where respectful disagreement is encouraged, ensuring that once a collective decision is made, the entire team supports it. Mentorship and the Influence of the Father Groundswell attributes his drive and work ethic to his father, a 22-year U.S. Marine who worked three jobs to support the family. This model of sacrifice taught him that a leader's role is to step up and support those around them, regardless of personal cost. He acknowledges that while some have positive models to mimic, others use a negative upbringing as motivation to "not repeat the process." Regardless of the source, Groundswell believes that finding a mentor—someone who "checks" you at critical crossroads—is what keeps a person on the correct path. Global Security and Decisive Action Drawing from his experience commanding a 5,000-man SWAT team in Afghanistan and working in international narcotics, Groundswell offers a stark critique of current global affairs. He discusses the dangers of "narco-terrorism" and the strategic importance of maintaining a U.S. footprint abroad to prevent the growth of terrorist networks. He specifically criticizes the abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan, which he claims left vital intelligence databases and $90 billion in weapons in the hands of the Taliban, effectively making them one of the most powerful terrorist organizations overnight. He advocates for decisive leadership in the face of regimes like Iran, arguing that diplomatic policing and human rights protection are essential for a safer world. Shaping the Next Generation A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the "diminishment of society" caused by instant gratification and the lack of personal responsibility. Groundswell has authored a children's book series to help parents spark tough conversations about kindness, boundaries, and self-respect. He argues that respect for authority must begin in the home; if children do not respect their parents or caregivers, they will inevitably become a disruption in school and society. His goal is to move youth away from "victim culture" and toward a mindset of accountability and resilience. The dialogue serves as a powerful reminder that leadership is not defined by title or power, but by the consistency of one's character. Whether managing a national SWAT team or raising a child, the principles remain the same: take responsibility, maintain a foundation of integrity, and never be afraid to take a stand for what is right.

Yanara Friedland is a writer, translator, and educator born in Berlin. She is the author of Uncountry: A Mythology (2016) winner of the Noemi Press Fiction Book Award and Groundswell (2021) selected for Essay Press's Book Award and Thanatographies (U Alabama Press, 2026). Her work explores the effects of dislocation on memory and language, engaging with multilingual and transhistorical spaces through archival research and in collaboration with other artists. She teaches creative writing and literature at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies and co-runs the reading series Mutter Courage in the Pacific Northwest. Thanatographies is a genre-defying meditation on disappearance, memory, and the porous boundaries between the living and the dead. In poetic prose, Yanara Friedland weaves together dreamscapes, historical fragments, personal recollections, and philosophical inquiry to explore the afterlives of loss and survival. Moving through rooms, cities, forests, and archives, the text becomes a living document of insomnia, exile, and the spectral presence of women across time, including artists, revolutionaries, caretakers, and ghosts. Structured in four sections titled Room, Night, Medusas, and Burials, the book traverses inner and outer landscapes, from Berlin's haunted streets to the intimate terrain of the body. Friedland's voice is both lyrical and incisive, drawing on figures such as Unica Zürn, Rosa Luxemburg, and Else Lasker-Schüler to illuminate the intersections of gender, violence, and historical erasure. The result is a deeply embodied poetics of wakefulness, where hidden life remembers and speaks. Thanatographies is written for readers of experimental literature, feminist theory, and contemporary poetics. The book resonates with artists, scholars, and seekers who are compelled by the aesthetics of mourning, the politics of memory, and the radical potential of language to hold what is otherwise unspeakable.

April 2026: Life is full of challenges, especially in farming, and the global situation can be a heavy weight. It feels like the perfect time to re-release this encore conversation with UK farmer Tim Parton. If you want to be inspired, Tim is your man. We're wanting to remind everyone that Farmers are Heroes, nobody else can do what we do. Since this episode was recorded in 2023, Tim has faced even more personal challenges due to a serious farming accident. We caught up with him when we attended Groundswell in the UK last year, and look forward to another podcast chat with him soon - watch this space!...UK arable farmer of the year and Green Farm Collective founding member Tim Parton spent a week in Australia as part of VicNoTill's annual conference TRAN$ITION23. As well as inspiring over 100 farmers in the conference room, Tim hung out in soil pits and dug into soils with a shovel to gain a deeper understanding of regenerative farming systems in the Australian context. Dan Fox sat down in the podcast studio with Tim to discover what new ideas his visit had sparked. VicNoTill was also keen to find out how Tim is changing the narrative about farmers being the heroes when it comes to sequestering carbon and feeding the world.

Hello Adventurers! It’s time to Unpack our latest Adventure with our host, Connie's Uncle Chris, and his cheeky soundboard Ziggy!

Today’s farmer panel features two Mid Canterbury dairy and deer farmers, respectively. Today, we talk about a new era for Fonterra and a joint letter to the political parties from NZ Farming, the Methane Science Accord and Groundswell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People. People are what make a house a home. On realising this, in this final episode, Connie and the gang set about putting on a welcome party for the family when they arrive. They think of everything: tables, chairs, welcome flags, and even an exploding barbecue.

In part two, we continue our adventure to learn how to make a house a home. We meet John-Paul, an artist and visionary with a keen creative eye. He helps Connie and the gang find the inspiration to decorate the house using a ‘special things’ box the family sent.

Premiering at SXSW in March 2025, The Age of Disclosure is a documentary that aims to inform its audience about the ongoing push for full government disclosure on the UFO phenomenon. Especially notable is the amount of professional involvement and testimony from over 30 individuals, ranging from physicists, politicians, academics, and armed service members who collectively make the case for the serious nature of the UFO phenomenon, and the struggle to break through 80+ years of government secrecy on the topic. On this episode Nik and Tom review and break down the documentary, and attempt to answer the question of A) Does the film help move the needle forward for the disclosure movement, and B) Is this documentary itself a form of disclosure. As always this episode comes with a playlist of 3 songs from up and coming shoegaze bands around the world, including: Groundswell by Helens - https://helens.bandcamp.com/Neon Zoo by The Dreamtoday - https://thedreamtoday.bandcamp.com/Luces by Vapores - https://vapores.bandcamp.com/We hope you enjoy this episode, and until next time, Stay spacey, and keep gazin'

Family friends are fleeing from a war-torn country and they need our help to settle in here. They sent their stuff by boat a week ago. And they are coming by plane today!”

AI is transforming agriculture, how can farmers and land managers be sure it works for them? What digital twins, soil health metrics, novel robot sensors and other technologies can do to support profitable farming and enable ecosystem service payments—while also addressing critical questions about data rights, governance, and ownership like: How can farmers and landholders retain control of their own data and capture more of the value AI creates? How can the new tech help farmers to monitor, track and predict soil health and empower them to make on-farm decisions? Through maps and real-world examples, let's explore limits and opportunities.This episode was recorded live at Groundswell 2025, in the UK, one of the most important gatherings for regenerative agriculture in the world. During the panel Koen moderated on AI in Ag: What's Possible,What's Not, What Farmers Need to Know  we dove into into challenges and opportunities with the scientist Ichsani Wheeler, the farmer and investor Maarten van Dam, the journalist Louisa Burwood-Taylor and the fund manager Naeem Lakhani. More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

This is our final episode of Inside COP. For two weeks we've tried to bring you as close as possible to the heart of COP30 - the pace, the pressure, the progress, and the perspectives of those working inside and around the process.The closing plenary on Saturday began amid unexpected tension. Already running a day behind schedule, the Presidency moved to adopt the final text, but proceedings were paused following questions over whether all interventions had been properly registered. What followed were hours of clarification, consultation and procedural back-and-forth, underscoring concerns among many developing countries who had negotiated through the night to secure their priorities.In this episode, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson examine how the final day unfolded, what was agreed, and what it might mean.But this COP was never just about negotiation. Beyond the formal process, we explore what COP30 revealed about wider trends: shifting clean-energy economics, accelerating deployment across regions, and emerging signs of how the decline of fossil fuels is beginning to influence global decision-making.

We recorded this episode across Friday afternoon and deep into the evening inside the Blue Zone at COP30. At the time of publishing, there is still no final deal. The negotiations are ongoing, positions are shifting, and the outcome remains uncertain. We know that by the time you listen, some of what we heard today may already have changed, but we decided there was value in sharing the day with you. This episode is meant as a time capsule.We wanted to bring you inside the atmosphere of a COP Friday: the outrage, the optimism, the urgency, and the sheer human effort that goes into trying to land a deal. Rather than wait for the dust to settle, we spoke to the people living this moment. City leaders. Climate diplomats. Ministers from the front lines. Seasoned negotiators who've been in this process for decades. Activists still fighting for the best possible outcome for the planet. Their perspectives were captured as they were living this day, not in hindsight.This episode captures the feeling of a COP Friday: the confusion, the determination, the fear of losing ambition, and the belief, still alive in many corners, that progress is possible if countries choose it.With thanks to those who spoke with us:⁠Eric Garcetti, former US Ambassador to India and former mayor of LA Mark Watts, CEO of C40⁠Matt Webb, Associate Director for Global Clean Power Diplomacy, E3GGustavo Pinheiro, Senior Associate, E3G⁠Irene Velez Torres, Colombian Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development and head of the Colombian delegation⁠Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Ghanian Negotiator and incoming head of Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN)Giovanni Maurice Pradipta, Foundation for Sustainability

It's Friday morning in Belém and COP30 is moving fast. After yesterday's fire and the overnight closure of the venue, the Brazilian Presidency worked through the night and released a new draft text early this morning. It has immediately triggered significant pushback.In this emergency episode the team talks through what changed overnight, and why so many countries are unhappy. Christiana Figueres highlights how the new text removes the roadmaps for transitioning away from fossil fuels and for halting deforestation, and why that has triggered such a strong response.The mood on the ground has shifted. Delegates are back after the disruption yesterday, rested just enough to be energised, and preparing to make their views known in plenary. The Presidency now has to listen, absorb, and decide how far it can move.This is our Friday morning take on a rapidly changing situation, the snapshot before whatever comes next.

Today was not meant to be this episode.At around 2pm local time, a fire broke out near the country pavilions, triggering the full evacuation of the Blue Zone. As COP30 entered its final stretch, we'd planned to bring you an update on the negotiations, and to share some of the many extraordinary stories of progress and perseverance that surface here every single day.As of Thursday evening, the fire has been contained, and we understand there were no serious injuries. But there is shock, and there will be aftershocks, for those who were inside the venue. And there is now a heavy burden on the Presidency and the teams working behind the scenes to stabilise and steer the summit through the hours ahead.For many, today has been a humbling reminder of how quickly the unexpected can unfold. But despite a difficult day, negotiations continue. And yet, despite an already difficult day, and despite the exhaustion of negotiators who have now been here for weeks, the work continues.In this episode, we reflect on what unfolded inside the venue. But we also look beyond it to the incredibly important work that still must be done at COP30, and to what we are collectively called upon to deliver.This episode includes eyewitness testimonies from Beatriz Beccari Barreto (CDR30 Pavilion), and members of our teamInstagram @outrageoptimism LinkedIn @outrageoptimismOr via this form.Lead Producer: Ben Weaver-HincksPlanning Producer: Caitlin HanrahanEdited by: Miles MartignoniExec Producer: Ellie CliffordWith thanks to Groundswell and Global Optimism.This is a Persephonica production for Global Optimism and is part of the Acast Creator Network.
