Podcasts about regenerative business

This week in astrology

Kara Pecknold, VP of Regenerative Design at Frog and a leading voice in sustainable innovation, joined us for a conversation on what it truly means to design for regeneration.She breaks down the challenges and opportunities of embedding regenerative thinking into organisations, helping us explore how brands can move beyond green checklists toward a deeper, systemic approach that lies at the intersection of nature, culture, and business goals.Highlighting that “Regenerative design can help businesses localise,” she also discusses a potential direction to navigate today's global crises, thus requiring a reframing of business as we know it.This episode invites us to imagine futures where businesses give back more than they take, offering a hopeful push we all need.In this episode, Kara draws from her experience of guiding regenerative design with clients across diverse local contexts, helping us imagine the power of viewing business like nature. She speaks on how regenerative design cannot be siloed into CSR activities, and why it's important that it be tied to all parts of the organisation.She also touches upon several frameworks tackling this problem, like biomimicry, the doughnut economy etc. - helping us put a practical approach to regeneration, rather than viewing it as an idealistic utopian future.Tune in to discover how this future-focused approach can guide you through the complexities within the boundaries of today's world.Key Highlights

What does it truly mean to run a regenerative business, not just design regenerative buildings?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee sits down with Matthew Broderick, President and CEO of Ashley McGraw Architects, Susanne Angarano, Principal at Ashley McGraw and Founder of Vaysen Studio, and Josie Plaut, Associate Director of the Institute for the Built Environment at Colorado State University. They delve into the concept of building an architectural practice that is itself alive, evolving, and contributing to a greater good, moving beyond conventional business models. The conversation explores the crucial distinction between regenerative design and regenerative business, highlighting that regenerative business principles, rooted in living systems, developmental psychology, and transformative education, can apply to any organization. The guests discuss their journey implementing these practices at Ashley McGraw, the mindset shifts required—such as moving from a "culture fit" to an "essence contribution" approach, fostering agency throughout the firm, and reorienting client relationships towards true partnership. They challenge common assumptions and the tendency to think "we already do that," emphasizing the conscious effort needed to develop people as intentionally as projects and create genuine organizational vitality. "Fundamentally, regenerative business differs from conventional or progressive business practices. It's based on the science and workings of living systems. That's how the world actually works rather than these human impositions that we place on it." - Josie Plaut The episode concludes by touching on the deep, sometimes challenging, but ultimately rewarding work involved in transforming how a firm operates and develops its people. Guests:Matthew Broderick, AIA, is a President and CEO of Ashley McGraw Architects. Matthew has been instrumental in guiding the firm's growth over three decades, expanding from 10 people to 85 across offices in Syracuse, Boston, and DC. While experienced in designing significant higher education and sustainable projects, he considers the evolution and development of the firm itself to be his greatest design project, reflecting his deep commitment to organizational health and regenerative principles. Susanne Angarano, CID, IIDA, Assoc. AIA, is a Principal at Ashley McGraw Architects and the Founder of Vaysen Studio, Susanne brings a rich background in educational planning, interior design, and effective stakeholder engagement. She focuses on creating architectural spaces deeply rooted in their specific culture, context, and sustainability goals. Her training as an interior designer provides a unique lens through which she approaches regenerative practice and organizational development within the firm.Josie Plaut: Serving as the Associate Director of the Institute for the Built Environment at Colorado State University, Josie specializes in guiding organizations toward regenerative practices. Her work focuses on helping businesses align their core strategies with broader social and ecological well-being, drawing on the theory and application of regenerative business principles derived from living systems thinking and developmental psychology.This episode is for you if:You lead or work in an architecture firm (especially mid-sized) and feel restless with traditional business models. You're interested in organizational development and fostering a culture where everyone's creativity and initiative can thrive. You want to understand the difference between regenerative design and regenerative business practices. You are curious about practical ways to shift towards a more...

In this episode, Julien is sitting down with Paul Hawken—visionary thinker, entrepreneur, author and founder of Project Drawdown. A leading, pioneering voice in the regeneration movement, Paul challenges the way we approach climate, biodiversity, and corporate responsibility. Not only doing less harm is not enough—businesses must actively do good. But to truly transform, we need more than new solutions; we need a fundamental, ontological shift in how we see the world and our role within it. His latest book, Carbon: The Book of Life, reminds us that all life-supporting systems are deeply interconnected.Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on rethinking business, reimagining our relationship with the planet, and moving beyond sustainability toward true regeneration.Hosted by Ausha.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Bill Wyatt, CEO and Founder of Red Mountain Biochar, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the use of sustainable materials in the concrete, steel, and agricultural industries. Bill Wyatt is a third-generation lumberman turned eco-entrepreneur with a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. His work spans continents and industries, making him a pioneer in the regenerative business movement.Bill shares his journey from the lumber industry to now leading the development and production of high-quality biochar, harnessing lumber and agricultural wastes to create innovative solutions that reduce carbon footprints, enhance soil health, and strengthen communities worldwide. Red Mountain Biochar turns biomass residuals, like sawdust and wood chips, into biochar through pyrolysis. This sustainable solution helps reduce waste and generate revenue from materials once considered costly to dispose of. The innovative pyrolysis technology not only provides sustainable solutions but also offers significant carbon credits, helping industries achieve a greener footprint.With projects in Tanzania, India, and beyond, Bill explains how biochar improves soil health, reduces water usage, and even makes concrete carbon-neutral—all while building a sustainable business model and contributing to climate resilience. Bill believes that integrating biochar into business practices isn't just eco-friendly; it's a game-changing strategy for sustainable growth.

In today's episode, host Tyler Chisholm sits down with Cordell Jacks, CEO and General Partner of Regenerative Capital Group, to discuss an innovative approach to small business growth and sustainability.

He details how this approach preserves valuable companies and integrates regenerative principles, such as employee share ownership and diverse leadership, into their operations. Cordell also provides insight into the recent launch of Regenerative Capital Group's $25 million targeted closed fund, which has already raised $17.5 million.

Things to know about this episode:

My first guest after the summer break is Tim Frenneaux, whom I first met in his role as Source for the Piʌot project which is a thoroughly engaging and inspiring new concept, that he describes as a people-powered movement for regenerative transformation.  As you'll hear, Tim really understands what it is to live - to dance  - at the inter-becoming edge of emergence.  He's a multi-talented, multi-hatted entrepreneur, who once established England's only carbon negative Local Industrial Strategy whilst working as Head of Economic Policy, and now specialises in regenerative businesses transformation. Tim is a bookseller, regenerative business designer and rebel economist on a journey to understand his role in the great system of life. Through his practice, he cultivates an emotional connection with this pivotal moment for life on Earth to create change and transformation that comes from the heart not just the head. Because of this work, the Doughnut Economics Action Lab have, called him a thought leader, though he prefers to think of himself as a thought weaver.He also works as a consultant, facilitator and public speaker on regenerative design, and runs a monthly book subscription, Adventurous Ink, which helps people reconnect with themselves and the wider world.In this wide-ranging conversation, we move from ideas of how to bring the UK's water companies back into genuine public ownership, to how we could build political consensus around bio-regions, to what it is to walk the doughnut of Doughnut Economics.  This was a really encouraging, enlivening conversation to start our new season and I hope you find it takes you further in your own journey - it certainly helped me.  Adventurous Ink http://www.adventurousink.co.uk/Tim's Website https://timfrenneaux.co/Tim on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/timfrenneaux/Links to organisations and books mentioned in the podcastDoughnut Economics Action Lab https://doughnuteconomics.org/Climate Action Leeds https://www.climateactionleeds.org.uk/Kate Raworth 'Doughnut Economics' https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/doughnut-economics-seven-ways-to-think-like-a-21st-century-economist-kate-raworth/2694262?ean=9781847941398Miles Richardson 'Reconnection' https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/reconnection-fixing-our-broken-relationship-with-nature-miles-richardson/7335558?ean=9781784274856Jenny Odell 'How to Do Nothing' https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/how-to-do-nothing-resisting-the-attention-economy-jenny-odell/3185527?ean=9781612198552James A Pearson 'The Wilderness that Bears your Name' https://www.everand.com/book/725658458/The-Wilderness-That-Bears-Your-NameManda Scott 'Any Human Power' https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/any-human-power-manda-scott/7637805?ean=9781914613562Dan O'Neill et all 'Provisioning Systems' paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959378020307184

In this episode of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, David interviews Rachelle Sampson, Ph.D.: researcher and founder of Blue Prism Coaching; and Bennet Zelner, Ph.D.: researcher, speaker, and creator of the Pollination Approach. They are both Vital instructors and Associate Professors at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland. Based on a passion for regenerative economics (how we might be able to apply patterns of nature to socioeconomic systems), they are co-leading the Connected Leadership Study, a research project tracking how psychedelic experiences can facilitate change in people in leadership positions. They believe that a shift from a mechanistic attunement to a more synergistic recognition of our interconnectedness should lead to new ways of thinking, resulting in more creative leaders with better decision-making and team-building skills, and corporate culture caring more about values, regenerative models, equity, and sustainability – all while still being successful. They wonder: Can psychedelic experiences create better leaders? Can capitalism become more conscious? They discuss: The structure of the study, what they learned in the first cohort, and why they track participants for a yea How change happens over time, and why they believe it to needs to happen from the bottom u The concept of emergence and emergent change illustrated by the shifts in movement of a flock of bird How synergistic attunement can be traced back to the cellular level The challenge of balancing the therapeutic aspect of psychedelics with the more corporate strategy/professional side and more! The study's next cohort begins in October, so if you're a business leader interested in being a participant, head to Leaders.study for more info. And if you'd like to learn more about these concepts, the new Regenerative Business and Leadership specialization path in this year's cohort of Vital digs deep into this world. And we've just extended the applications to Sept. 2, so you still have time to apply! For links, head to the show notes page.

What is regenerative business? How can we create a business mindset that addresses social, economic and environmental issues?Esha Chhabra has written for national and international publications over the last 15 years, focusing on global development, the environment, and the intersection of business and impact. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, The Guardian, and other publications. She is the author of Working to Restore: Harnessing the Power of Business to Heal the Earth.“There's a lot of greenwashing that's going on these days. It is great marketing. And that was really the reason why I wrote this book. I had started to see the patterns. You can start to tell them the companies that are genuinely doing it versus the companies that are just talking about it. So that was one indicator, you know, a company that would send out a press release about their goals and what they anticipated to do in the next 5 to 10 years was very different from companies who had said, you know what, this is what we've achieved. Regenerative started coming into the lexicon, the term in 2017, 2018. And regenerative means to regenerate, means to bring life into something. To sustain means to keep the status quo. And regenerative looks at things from a very holistic lens. You know, it's like if you're going to run a regenerative farm, it's all the different components of the farm and the ecosystem ideally come within the ecosystem.”www.eshachhabra.comwww.beacon.org/Working-to-Restore-P2081.aspxwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, The Guardian, and other publications. She is the author of Working to Restore: Harnessing the Power of Business to Heal the Earth.“The circular economy is a really interesting space because the reality is that these waste streams are an opportunity for these companies to rethink how they can build a product out of it…Do we need to move away from single-use plastic? Absolutely. There's no need for it. Paper has its cons, but at the same time, the recycling rate on paper is better than plastic. So you have to look at the pros and cons of every single one of these and then see what works for your business and your situation.I'm inspired by a lot of young people who are in their early twenties. They're very interested in these topics. They love thrifting because it is trendy, cool, and affordable. And it's also really good for the environment. I hope that they continue to fight for what is right. I think that what's needed in today's world is that we do create more equitable models, whether it's in business or elsewhere. And that we do have some kind of respect for the planet because the reality is, if we don't, we're the ones that are going to suffer at the end of the day. It's only going to become harder for us, whether it's getting food to eat, whether it's having an environment that's comfortable and hospitable, whether it's having the supply chains we need for all the products in the world. I hope that there is a business model and a path forward, and I hope they're the trailblazers who sort of make it happen. We need to encourage that. We need to create policies that also allow for some of this stuff to flourish.”www.eshachhabra.comwww.beacon.org/Working-to-Restore-P2081.aspxwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

How can we create a business mindset that addresses social, economic and environmental issues?Esha Chhabra has written for national and international publications over the last 15 years, focusing on global development, the environment, and the intersection of business and impact. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, The Guardian, and other publications. She is the author of Working to Restore: Harnessing the Power of Business to Heal the Earth.“I'm inspired by a lot of young people who are in their early twenties. They're very interested in these topics. They love thrifting because it is trendy, cool, and affordable. And it's also really good for the environment. I hope that they continue to fight for what is right. I think that what's needed in today's world is that we do create more equitable models, whether it's in business or elsewhere. And that we do have some kind of respect for the planet because the reality is, if we don't, we're the ones that are going to suffer at the end of the day. It's only going to become harder for us, whether it's getting food to eat, whether it's having an environment that's comfortable and hospitable, whether it's having the supply chains we need for all the products in the world. I hope that there is a business model and a path forward, and I hope they're the trailblazers who sort of make it happen. We need to encourage that. We need to create policies that also allow for some of this stuff to flourish.”www.eshachhabra.comwww.beacon.org/Working-to-Restore-P2081.aspxwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

So what really is Impact Investing?  A short explanation ... (This is the transript of the episode and all the links mentioned in it) Having now interviewed almost 400 guests on Seeds Podcast a recurring theme which has emerged is how they are using impact investing to effect positive change in our society.  A question I get all the time though - both from companies, charities, directors and Trustees is - what exactly are you meaning when you keep talking about the rise of Impact Investing?   So let's break it down and give you some further listening if it does interest you.   First the traditional approach.  Someone has a spare $10 million dollars - now this is a hypothetical scenario rather than being my situation.  Anyway, they have a choice about where they put that money.  One option is a traditional approach which means they put it into a long term deposit which makes interest.  They get some financial return, even if it is relatively low, and the offshore owned banks recycle that money to make themselves a nice profit.   Impact investing steps in at this point and offers another approach.  What if that person has a particular cause that they care about - unfortunately the list is long - social housing, food deprivation for children, education on mental health and suicide prevention, climate change and green tech - there are many needs.  Let's choose social housing because I know it really well. So what if our friend took a portion of that $10 million and invested it into a startup company that wanted to provide social housing - this could be as equity and result in owning shares, or it could be as debt and they would have a loan they make.  The crux of the difference with traditional investing is that they would be able to make a financial return because it is not a donation, it is an investment.  But at the same time they would be able to have impact which is far greater and more satisfying than the interest they make from that long term deposit. I am not saying they invest the full $10 million they have, but they do invest a portion of it - doing so may involve some risk but often ethically motivated companies that provide real solutions to our most wicked problems perform better, not worse, than traditional investments - and a tsunami of consumer support for such initiatives is on its way as people consider the supply chain and where their products come from.   Even easier than a direct investment might be joining a fund which has those ethical lenses and thinks about where they put their money - and this is a choice that each of us can easily make with our Kiwisaver - I'll put the links to Pathfinder, Simplicity and Generate as examples of that. A real life example of this approach is Community Finance where I am the Chair of the Board.  We identified social housing as a massive need and we support Community Housing Providers by providing them with finance at a lower rate than mainstream banks, which we get from philanthropic investors and Kiwisaver funds like those I just mentioned.  Have we raised $50k or $100k for this?  No, actually in just a few years we have pulled together more than $160m for this. Before you all knock on the door this is for wholesale investors, rather than retail investors.   So that is what impact investing is - simple, right?  We may be on the cusp of going even further though.  Recently I released a legal opinion on how I think Trustees of large Trusts or Foundations that sit on large untapped pools of wealth now have a duty to consider Impact Investing and where their funds are invested - Shamubeel Eaqub interviewed me about that and why I think the law itself has changed for Seeds and will put a link to that in the show notes.  The point is that those funds that have billions of dollars in aggregate often were set up by a founder who wanted to tackle one of those problems in society, but the Trustees only think about how they can use income from their traditional investments - instead they should have a blue skies moment to think about how they invest the capital itself because where they invest it might be a means to advance their purposes. If all this is intriguing but you are after real lives and understanding the people who are leading the way then I can recommend the following seeds episodes, among many dozens of others: Shamubeel Eaqub in conversation with Steven Moe on the rise of Impact Investing: https://theseeds.nz/podcast/shamubeel-eaqub-in-conversation-with-steven-moe-on-impact-investing/  Impact Investing Legal Opinion as audio book: https://theseeds.nz/podcast/impact-investing-legal-opinion-audio-version-read-by-steven-moe/  Brianne West and Esha Chabra on Regenerative Business https://theseeds.nz/podcast/brianne-west-esha-chhabra-on-regenerative-business-seeds-conference-session/  John Berry on Ethical Investing https://seeds.libsyn.com/john-berry-on-ethical-investing  A post-growth future and what it means for larger business: Seeds Conference session with Jennifer Wilkins, Dr Katherine Trebeck & Dr Donnie Macluran https://theseeds.nz/podcast/a-post-growth-future-and-what-it-means-for-larger-business-seeds-conference-session-with-jennifer-wilkins-dr-katherine-trebeck-dr-donnie-macluran/  Regenerative and Blended Finance: Seeds Conference Session with Rosalie Nelson from EHF and Andrew Hewitt, Satya Kumar, Brad Leibov and Laina Greene https://theseeds.nz/podcast/regenerative-and-blended-finance-seeds-conference-session-with-rosalie-nelson-from-ehf-and-andrew-hewitt-satya-kumar-brad-leibov-and-laina-greene/  Safe Wongsunopparat on measuring Social Impact and proactively making decisions that change your life https://theseeds.nz/podcast/safe-wongsunopparat-on-measuring-social-impact-and-proactively-making-decisions-that-change-your-life/  Nathaniel Calhoun on preserving Biodiversity and effecting system change: https://theseeds.nz/podcast/nathaniel-calhoun-on-preserving-biodiversity-and-effecting-systems-change/  Bill Murphy on the Purpose Capital Impact Fund https://theseeds.nz/podcast/bill-murphy-on-the-purpose-capital-impact-fund/  Tā Tipene O'Regan on the people who shaped his life https://theseeds.nz/podcast/ta-tipene-oregan-on-the-people-who-shaped-his-life/  Joanne McEachen on Joy and Innovating in Education, and bringing an Indigenous perspective to global conversations https://theseeds.nz/podcast/joanne-mceachen-on-joy-and-innovating-in-education-and-bringing-an-indigenous-perspective-to-global-conversations/  Israel Cooper https://seeds.libsyn.com/israel-cooper-on-home-community-people-and-purpose  Impact investing Network https://www.impactinvestingnetwork.nz

Today I share my conversation with Suzanne Vickberg, aka Dr. Suz. She is a social-personality psychologist and a Research Lead at Deloitte Greenhouse. Along with her Deloitte Greenhouse colleague Kim Christfort, Suzanne co-authored the best-selling book Business Chemistry. But there's another type of Chemistry - or Alchemistry - that I sat down to talk to Dr. Suz about - shifting the default track of a conversation from protection and opposition to collaboration, Some years ago I interviewed Dr. Elizabeth Stokoe, a Professor of Social Interaction at Loughborough University, who speaks in her book Talk about conversations as having a landscape or a “track” that participants asses and orient to rather quickly…and that we glide down that track, while we monitor the texture of that landscape, and navigate the bumps in the road…so that we can keep things on safely on track. Check out our podcast conversation here and her TEDx talk here. In the opening quote to this podcast, you can hear Dr. Suz describing this process of “landscape orienting” happening very rapidly in a divorce context. Knowing the default path is very helpful when navigating a “hello, how are you?” kind of “small talk” conversation in a non-wierdo-way. Knowing the default track can help make things smooth and easy…when you're visiting the store, or a bowling alley. And when you don't know the basics of the track, things can be hard - Doing simple things in a different culture can be surprisingly slippery to navigate when you don't know the basics of the track.  But sometimes the default path can be extremely detrimental - especially when the default is ineffectual or becomes unconscious and habitual - we keep doing things out of rote, not intent. In business, a common default/habitual conversational path is looking at an underperformer and putting them on a Performance Improvement Plan in order to be able to fire them more easily, A non-default, more conscious conversation is taking the time to learn *why* they are underperforming and helping them actually transform themselves, their work performance and their lives….and in the process deeply benefiting the company and even the community. Seems impossible, right? Or grandiose? Carol Sandford, in her book about Regenerative Business talks about an organization that did just this… a manager discovered that a chronically underperforming and late employee was just functionally illiterate. That employee, once they felt safe to share more, helped that manager learn that many of their employees were facing similar issues. Instead of a PIP, this employee got literacy training, and became an advisor to a new literacy program developed inside the organization, which spread out to the larger community, in ripples of growth and transformation. That is a *non* default conversation - turning a PIP conversation into a community-transformation conversation. On a micro-scale, Dr. Suz's book tells the story of rethinking or re-designing the “default track” for a very, very common conversation - Divorce. When that word gets said out loud, people find lawyers, put up a shield, and start digging trenches.  There is a better way! It takes effort to deeply empathize with your “opponent” in a difficult conversation. It takes patience and imagination to collaborate with your “opponent” to design a win-win scenario.  But the default design for divorce doesn't usually create ideal outcomes…just conventional ones. It's possible to create something better than you can imagine if you create the space for a transformational conversation. Dr. Suz helps break down how “design” in these situations just means really understanding the REAL problem we're solving and what our IDEAL outcome really could look like… BEFORE we jump to solutions. Also check out my podcast conversation with Adam Kahane, author of, among many other amazing books, the book Collaborating with the Enemy - which is what I know a divorce can feel like. Some of his perspectives take this “divorce by design” mindset into the broader business and strategy arena. Enjoy this conversation as much as I did…and think about how you might transform the most challenging conversations in your life and work. With more conscious creativity and intention, with empathy and collaboration…with more design you can create more of what you really want, just like Dr. Suz did for her own divorce and for her own life.

So, this has been months and months and months in the making, less so in the sense that I've been working on it for months and more so in the sense that I really thought that I was going to create the entire audiobook back in August, 2023.It was  my big  August, 2023 goal. And then just, I mean, first of all, the Maui fires happened and that took a turn on a lot of things, and then I got mono, and then there was travel, and then there's like a bunch of excuses.This month, January 2024, a big goal of mine was to get this audiobook done and it is finally here. I'm so excited to share it with you. You can purchase it now at shop.thedirtyalchemy.com. I'll also put in the show notes and tune in now for the introduction.

READ | LISTENSeeing with the Eyes of Our HeartsWe've all heard stories meant to challenge our current perspectives and wake us up to greater truths.One ancient African tale that does just this is "The Story of the Eagle and the Child".On the surface, it depicts a mother finding her infant soothed by an eagle in the garden. Fearing for its safety, she alerts the father - who reflexively shoots and kills the child with his arrows upon seeing the scene. What unfolds next is even more startling.What if the eagle represents spirit, that indwelling genius in each soul meant to guide and settle us?And the arrows symbolize the wounds inflicted by indifference, rejection or control of this spiritual nature. Seen this way, we discover familial patterns in need of healing.More than that, the story hints that reconnecting to our essence lies beyond surface perceptions. It calls us to nurture imagination - to see with the "eyes of our hearts".Only then can we grasp insights of a higher order and divine hidden connections all around.True understanding arises when we embrace metaphors and walk the middle path between surface and depth.This allows life's mysteries to reveal themselves and our innate gifts to shine through.The eagle and child remind us that we all have wings awaiting the opportunity to lift and soothe in our own unique way. [1:30] The Story of the Eagle and the Child[5:00] Looking Beyond the Surface with Metaphor and Imagination[8:00] Understanding Symbols on Deeper Levels[10:30] Making the Invisible Visible[13:00] Imagination as a Tool for Insight[15:30] Applying Principles to Your Own Life[18:00] Exercise: Exploring a Personal Symbol[21:00] ConclusionEpisode 2: Parenting from a Place of Wisdom[0:00] Introduction[2:30] Nourishing a Child's Spiritual Nature[5:00] Seeing the Whole Child[7:30] Guiding While Allowing Freedom[10:00] Being a Safe Harbor vs. Imposing Controls[13:00] Addressing Fears While Cultivating Curiosity[15:30] Exercise: Reflecting on Your Own Upbringing[18:00] Cultivating Understanding in All Relationships[20:30] ConclusionEpisode 3: The Eagle and the Child[0:00] Introduction[2:00] Symbolically Exploring the Story[5:30] Identifying With the Child Archetype[8:00] Overcoming Wounds of Rejection[10:30] Locating Arrows of Indifference[13:00] Hearing Guidance Amidst Hardship[15:30] Exercise: Inner Reflections[18:00] Reconnecting to Your Essence

TITLE:  Regenerative Business Coach Monique Allen   Monique Allen, is CEO and Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, a landscaping design company that brings the principles of regenerative agriculture to ornamental gardening. The central work of The Garden Continuum is to create outdoor living spaces, both public and private, that draw people out into those spaces and begin to build that reconnection with nature.   Monique's approach infuses life back into systems and landscapes that have been abused by degenerative practices.     Through regenerative gardening, Monique breathes new life into the soil, and through her personalized landscape business coaching she helps clients build a high-integrity business reflecting care for the entire earth community. Check out her book, Stop Landscaping, Start Lifescaping.    Show Highlights   The garden continuum and understanding regenerative business and the landscape movement. Jumpstart ecosystems and create an energetic loop on projects. Understanding the conundrum of care to create longevity and not just sustainable. Monique shares how to partner with mother nature on projects. Match your work with clients and people who are already invested emotionally, mentally, financially in what you do. The built environment needs to embrace creating “healthy sites” and not just regenerative spaces. Approach landscaping differently with a  “codify” tool to help you stop landscaping and start life.  Know the difference in a landscape as something pretty to look at, compared with “Life-Scapeing,” a space you interact with nature in.   “Have that triple bottom line mindset where it's: planet, people, and profits. One cannot happen without the other. It's not a question of its linearity. You roll these three aims of planet, people, and profits together. You are always looking through that triple lens to say, ‘Is this project creating a betterment or is it at least somewhat neutral,' but it just can't be degrading or detrimental.” -Monique Allen   Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

I'm Sam Garcia, founder + lead strategist of Dirty Alchemy Digital Marketing, a boutique marketing agency for thought leaders and course creators whose businesses are devoted to revolutionizing the world + live on an off-grid regenerative farm my husband designed and stewards on Maui.  I wrote the bestselling book Regenerative Business which is about how to use Nature's design principles to have a more impactful, joyful, abundant, and easeful business.Which is what this video series is about too.First - housekeeping:Over these 4 videos you'll be designing your business as a Food Forest - if you don't know what that means, I do not expect you to + will explain shortly:Video 1. What a food forest is, setting the goal of your business as a food forest, and “prepping your site”Video 2. The different types of Food Forests + You'll choose one based on your goalsVideo 3. The 9 layers of a Food Forest to set within your businessVideo 4. Addressing the climate and soil quality of You, and your Energetic BlueprintI am trying to keep these as distilled as possible for maximum potency, so you can focus on actually taking action. The point of this is not to just load you with info — the point is for you to lay the groundwork of a regenerative business. That's why you'll find companion activities below each of these videos.And as a neuro-spicy human I am very aware that different people have different learning styles, so you will find the full transcript below each video if you prefer reading. I'll also publish the audio from this video as an Expiring episode on my podcast, Regenerative Business with Sam Garcia if you want to listen on the go.All 4 videos are available now incase you're a binge-watcher like me, and I'll also be sending you reminder emails to go through everything in case you'd prefer tackling it in smaller chunks.Please note that these videos, podcasts, and activities will only be available for free until November 26th so this isn't work to put off.Okay! Now that that's clear - let's jump into our first training!…The concept of a Food Forest is something I learned when I got my Permaculture Design Certification in 2012.The term perma-culture is a play on the words “permanent agriculture” and was coined to describe designing food growing systems that mimic how Nature grows food. Of course it doesn't actually originate there —The food forest concept I first learned in “permaculture” echos the forest gardens common among the Indigenous societies of North America's northwestern coast, and worldwide.Indigenous peoples around the world have lived and continue to live in relationship with land.Nature doesn't grow food like large-scale commercial farms, with rows and rows of the same crops acting like a salad bar for bugs, requiring pesticides and human intervention, and centered around making a profit. Nature grows food in forests.Rainforests cover less than 2% of the Earth's total surface area, yet they are home to 50% of the Earth's plants and animals.Out of the 3,000 plants the U.S. National Cancer Institute has identified as useful in the treatment of cancer, 70% of these plants are found only in rainforests.At least 80% of the developed world's food originated in the tropical rainforest. Its bountiful gifts to the world include fruits like avocados, oranges, tomatoes; vegetables including corn, potatoes, winter squash; spices like black pepper, coffee and vanilla; and nuts like Brazil nuts and cashews.[Source]These food forests or forest gardens are apart of our human nature and are resilient as fuck.A sad example showing this is the forest gardens established around First Nation villages in Alaska — colonists forcibly removed the indigenous people from their villages 150 years ago but the forest gardens are currently thriving without human intervention.The land is waiting for its people to return.[Source]These systems don't require pesticides to thrive. Or human intervention. They don't require humans at all. Nature designed them to be self-reliant and to self-regulate — through many species of plants, animals, fungi, insects, bacteria, and rocks, minerals, molecules, elements, all collaborating and cohabitating in a multidimensional cycle of death and growth, all in the name of increased alive-ness of the system.In ecological succession, most ecosystems end up like a forest. And without significant disturbances, like wildfires or severe climate changes or humans coming through a clearcutting it, the forest will endure indefinitely, because the system becomes stable and self-perpetuating.So within permaculture, whether you're designing a backyard food growing system, or a 100+ acre farm, you're using this concept of a Food Forest in its design.Because who's the most fertile, abundant, resilient systems designer? Nature.And when we design like Nature does, our systems are less reliant on us. We get our freedom and time back. And we create something beautiful and wild for the world, that can shock the current Industrial status quo.And it doesn't have to stop at food-growing systems.We can use Nature's principles and teachings to design our business systems too.Our focus today is an important one. You may want to skip it because it's less flashy than the next couple trainings, but this step is absolutely necessary to complete before starting the next 2.Today we'll be setting your Food Forest goal and analyzing your site.This is different than your annual revenue goal or anything like that.1. SETTING YOUR ULTIMATE GOALBefore designing a Food Forest you need to be clear on what your goal is. Because a goal of growing enough food for your family with as little work required from you as possible, versus you creating a community hub and demonstration site, versus you wanting as much food production as possible so you can sell your extra to local restaurants and create value added products to sell at farmers markets, all of those could be done on the same plot of land, but what you plant and what systems you set up would be significantly different.Down below this video you'll find a list of questions to go through today to get clear on your business's ultimate goal — it's essentially a short quiz whose answers will enlighten the decisions you'll be making in the next 2 videos.Let's go through them together now - you can mark down your answers as we go along, or return to this later. DO record your answers in a journal or Notes app.Please really tune into what you REALLY want, versus what's flashy or what you could brag about. It is just as worthy and valid and valuable to want to design your business to support your preferred lifestyle and help your people in your corner of the internet, as it is to want to build a massive organization where you're featured on The View.

Click here to get all the details: https://regenerativebusinesscreationlab.com/When you look at a forest it's easy to see a wall of green. But as you spend more time with it your eyes start to see and recognize the different layers, different species, different shades.Whether you decided on an Oak Savannah, Recovering Forest, or Mature Forest from the last video, each of these have 7 layers in them that work together and play their part in the fertility of the overall system.Fertility here I'm using as the aliveness and regeneration of the whole. Your creativity, abundance, impact.If you read my book ‘Regenerative Business' then you may remember that one of Nature's principles is biodiversity. Biodiversity creates a strong, resilient system, and homogeneity causes weakness.A forest isn't just a mono crop of 1 type of tree and nothing else. It is a diverse network of many plants, trees, species, that are collaborating.In a traditional food forest, there are 7 layers that all work together. And by layers, I'm talking actual physical layers that are taking up 3-D space. So instead of acres and acres of corn taking up only 1 grassy layer, there are 7 stacking layers that are cohabitating 1 space.1. First we have the Tall Tree or Canopy LayerThis layer provides large quantities of food + shade.These are your large fruit and nut trees, as well as support trees that help improve your soil such as nitrogen fixers like alders.2. The second layer is the Sub-Canopy or Large Shrub LayerThis is commonly fruit trees like apples.3. The third layer is the Shrub Layer: Here we have shrubs, like raspberries, blueberries, and also medicinal plants. This layer provides a lot of nutrition and healing. It also provides nesting space for wildlife and increases biodiversity.4. Next we have our Herbaceous Layer: This is when we start adding in more traditional food crops like vegetables and flowers for beneficial insects. This layer Dies back in winter - if you have a cold winter - and brings a ton of variety, and where you can lay on things you love and novelty.If you remember from the last video, our Oak Savannah is for those who want way more of this layer. This playful novelty that requires a repeated energy investment. For example, doing a one-off mini workshop just because you want to.5. The 5th layer is the Groundcover Layer: The purpose here is to cover the ground and hold the soil in place so it doesn't wash or blow away in a storm. It also holds moisture in the ground so that you don't have to water as much. Think, strawberries for eating, clover for teas and also being able to be stepped on and acting like a living mulch to protect the soil below.6. The Root Crops Layer gives us grounding staples. Potatoes, garlic, bulbs, onions, sun chokes.7. And finally we have the vining Layer: Vines climb the woody plants and trees — You can think of this layer as a ladder that connects all of the other layers. Vining plants can grow all the way from the ground layer to the tops of tree canopies.For each of these layers we have the operational and marketing side. Kind of like plant growth versus plant pollination and fruiting.For our tall trees - which are the piece we design around, we have our core offers, funnels and launches.I know that the words “funnel” and “launch” can give people hives but it's the most straightforward way to describe them since people know what I'm talking about when I say them. Please sub in Evergreen Ecosystem for funnel and Sacred Attraction Formula for launch if that feels better for you.There's a concept in regenerative agriculture called “Companion Planting” where one plant takes certain nutrients from the soil while the other provides shade or a thick trunk for a vining plant to grow up. You can think of your Food Forest funnel like this - where you're intentionally planting offers and systems to work together harmoniously without your human intervention.Our tall trees give us a clear way to deliver epic transformation and to deepen the relationship with our core people.In a Mature Forest that means your entire business is focused on this.Our sub-canopy adds in another layer of promotions and offers that reenforces our main canopy. Maybe that looks like doing a flash sale on your birthday.The shrub layer is the all-important Community element of business. Communities come in so many shapes and sizes. You can create community through a blog, or on your social media, in a free Facebook group, a paid membership, or your podcast. This is a place where people want to visit and return to to be seen.With the herbaceous layer we have all the novelty that my Oak Savannah people crave. You do all the things - courses, workshops, physical products, more courses, webinars, whatever. And you have to tend to it and replant it and feed it. You work the land for your harvest. With our ground cover we are holding moisture and fertility in the soil. On a personal level that is our magical practices and mindset. On a business systems level that is client attracting things like ads and SEO.Our root layer works below the surface - it's the systems and operations we have in place that when done right - we plant once and it continues to feed us for years.And finally our vines. Touching every layer of our business is the people that support the business' mission - the team. Our vines, our team maximize production within the area of planting. They help us to make the most of space and time within the system we have created. If you've been on the RBCL sales page then you know that there are more things at play than just the food forest - other species and elements.For example we have to acknowledge the flowers that each of these layers put out — this echoes how our branding and messaging is woven into each layer of our business. With a Mature Forest we have super consistent branding and marketing since we're centralized around 1 or a few core offers. Versus our Oak Savannah that has all sorts of crops and plants and flowers so we get to play and develop different messaging and branding across the business.There are also important elements like sun and water that your forest needs. These are the people or the visibility needed for your ecosystem to thrive. Because if you don't have people interacting with your business, it shrivels up and dies, as you as the gardener keep pouring your energy into it.Head on over to the RBCL info page if you want to play with our interactive forest image with hotspots explaining the different pieces at play in your business ecosystem.So now you have your quiz results, your chosen food forest type, and the 7 layers to fill. Take out your journal, or download this video's workbook to fill in your 7 layers + identify what may be lacking in your business now.After that - head to the next video to address arguably the most important part of your ecosystem - the climate and soil quality - AKA what energy and programming you're seeding your forest with.

It boggles my mind what a little bit of water and attention can do.The land I live on is essentially a dessert. Not that it's meant to be — Olowalu, on the West side of Maui 5 minutes south of Lahaina, used to be a breadfruit forest and considered a place of refuge (puʻu honua).The waters in the streams and traditional waterways have been stolen and diverted for corporations, private use, and hotel lawns after the land was clear cut for the sandalwood industry and then sugarcane industry.Now the land is like a dessert. The hills covered in golden dried grasses, and there are wildfires every year bringing destruction.But in the last 12 months of living on this particular property here, and the last 24 months that my husband has been regenerating the land here — our few acres has transformed.It struck me so intensely the other morning. Every morning I walk our dogs along a path that meanders through the hilled landscape. It's a 45 minute walk there and back and when we cross back onto our property it's like stepping through a veil. From dry dessert into lush forest.And all it took was consistent attention, mulch, and water.In feng shui, flowing water represents wealth.A peaceful stream or river is like consistent money flowing into your business, and ponds and oceans are like the accrual of assets and wealth.This mentally makes a lot of sense since in settings like these, water gives you your basic needs. Food. Sustenance. Safety (fire prevention).So when business feels hard, when it feels dry like a dessert, remember that some water and attention can rehabilitate it pretty quickly.Let's look a little bit deeper into this process. First in terms of land, and then your business.

Today we'll be chatting about 5 BIG REASONS why you prioritizing reconstructing your business into a regenerative business model is essential right now.

With waves and waves of technological advances over the last 260+ years, we've become obsessed with the New.There is undoubtedly an obsessive, addictive element to it.What a great distraction from what is really happening — our continual disconnection from Nature, dehumanization, and objectification.As the UN pointed out in 2013, more people in the world have access to a mobile phone than basic sanitation. (New tech = More important than human life these days…)Just to be clear - I am ALL FOR technology! My astrology chart is Mercury-dominant so you better believe that the internet and my cellphone is on my daily gratitude list

In a world where rampant consumerism leads to the exploitation of the Earth's resources, what solutions can we look to for a more sustainable economy? Today's guest, Emily Prieto, co-founder of Seeds of Tao with her husband Joshua Paul Prieto, proposes an alternate path: Regenerative Business. Rather than solely focusing on the bottom line, regenerative business aims to form a circular economy, where production and consumption involve sharing, reusing, and recycling current products as long as possible. As an artist, entrepreneur, regenerative land designer, brand strategist, marketer, and mother of four, Emily advises fellow business owners on how to increase their profits while giving back to the planet. She aims to completely rewrite entrepreneurial education, focusing on local bio-regional issues, because what works in Washington D.C may not work in Argentina. This discussion delves into how the current economy takes but fails to give back, the small changes we can make to be more responsible in our choice of businesses to work with and support, and what buzzwords to look out for in greenwashing marketing practices.
