Podcasts about regenerative economy

In celebration of our 4th anniversary of "Above the Sides," we eagerly welcome Oahu Economic Development Board member, Robin Campaniano to this episode. In this conversation, we discuss his people-first approach to business and envisioning a prosperous Hawaii economy. Robin reflects on his long-standing friendship with Pono Shim, exploring how their intertwined careers have shaped his philosophy of aloha. Robin's influence in Hawaii's business community is extensive; he previously served as President and CEO of AIG Hawaii Insurance Company,   Insurance Commissioner for the State of Hawaii, and District Director and Counsel for the Small Business Administration's Honolulu Office. Most recently, he was selected as a member of the Governor's Climate Advisory Team. To give a glimpse into his world, Robin ideates about the power of observation in business, the significance of sharing meals together, the impact of Hawaii's small community culture on economic decisions (from tourism to military), and the integration of aloha into both relationships and written contracts. Robin opens up about his lifelong commitment to living up to the Hawaiian name that Pono gifted to him from the elders -  and his hopefulness in Hawaii's future as we strive to "remember who we are." Mahalo for joining us these last four years as we uncover what it means to think, act and live aloha. Episode Highlights0:24 Introduction to Robin Campaniano1:41 Friendship and intertwining careers with Pono Shim3:35 Pono's approach and sensitivity4:55 "We Go Eat" - the power of communal meals6:16 How to do business in Hawaii: welcoming visitors, new residents and colleagues to the islands8:00 Touching the essence of a person's character to motivate them8:49 Influences arise years later10:15 Joining the OEDB board of directors, exploring economic diversity12:00 Kicking off the New Markets Tax Credits venture12:44 Observation first14:30 Career and leadership reflections16:36 Hawaii is a small community/ island society17:10 "Pay it forward" - community involvement and service on nonprofit boards18:20 Hawaii's Climate Advisory Team20:15: Childhood on Air Force Bases (Japan to New York), graduated from Roosevelt High School21:58 Bringing the spirit of aloha to the global insurance industry23:41 Aloha in Action - writing the aloha spirit law into partnership agreements26:55 Native Hawaiians were intrepid in aquaculture, agriculture and wayfinding28:57 How do you include the aloha spirit into your written contracts?

Join us on our journey to uncover what it means to think, act, and live aloha. The inspiration for this podcast is the late Pono Shim, former President and CEO of the Oʻahu Economic Development Board. His stories capture the essence of what it means to live aloha. He made it known that aloha is a lifestyle. It is not a solution to problems, a marketing brand or to be used as an advantage over anyone else. Aloha is to be honored and practiced.The name of this podcast is in reverence of Hawaiʻi's Queen Liliʻuokalani, who wrote: "To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable – that is Aloha. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One.” Through these episodes, we seek to find that singular perspective, the one that is "above the sides" as we strive for universal peace.We welcome you to pause with us as we share the stories and voices of Hawai'i business leaders, educators and community members who have chosen to be lifelong students of aloha. Mahalo nui loa for listening.

Today I'm joined by Teddy Pierce, author of Dethrone Davos: Save America, to discuss the shocking waste, fraud, and abuse that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been uncovering. From reckless spending to blatant money laundering, we're breaking down how our government has been misusing our hard-earned tax dollars—and why this corruption must be stopped. Transparency and accountability aren't just buzzwords; they're essential for restoring actual integrity to our system. Tune in as we expose what's really going on behind the scenes and why this fight matters for all of us.—Buy Teddy's book, Dethrone Davos: https://www.amazon.com/Dethrone-Davos-America-Theodore-Pierce-ebook/dp/B0D5NKGGNC—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/collections/all

In a world where perpetual economic growth is the default objective, what happens when we reach the limits of our planet's capacity? Gaya Herrington, econometrician and sustainability researcher, has dedicated her research to answering this question. Her update to the famous Limits to Growth study—originally published by MIT in 1972—went viral for its stark conclusion: we are on track for a steep economic and social decline unless we radically rethink our approach.In this episode, Gaya discusses the transition from a growth-centric to a well-being economy, one that prioritizes human welfare and sustainability over GDP. She explains why degrowth is not about collapse, but about rebalancing our economy within planetary boundaries. She also delves into the corporate challenges of navigating this shift, the limitations of current economic metrics, and the role of resilience over efficiency in business strategy.As someone who operates within the corporate sector while challenging its mainstream economic assumptions, Gaya offers a unique perspective. This is a conversation about rethinking our economic future—before it's too late.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Robert Sheilds received his natural resource management education in Vermont and has had a professional career in renewables and green building. The last decade spent on the frontline of a rapidly changing planet in Fairbanks, Alaska, has prepared him for what comes next for us all. Robert is a champion of permaculture as the foundation of a regenerative economy and believes that Alaska is in the process of emerging as a living lab where innovation, not fossil fuels, drives us forward and that industrial hemp is the key to practical self-reliance where food, energy, and zero waste policies keep costs low and the quality of life high for generations to come. He believes mainstreaming the hemp industry in Alaska and regionally across the US can save our farm feed and our families.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Does it work to speak to the consciousness of investors and shareholders alike? If we offer different alternatives that align more with natural rhythms will they be welcomed or do people stick to what they know? What does the regenerative economy look like, respecting cultural, geological and other differences? Possibly you will find an example of a regenerative economy at your town's very own farmers market which in John's eyes already IS the regenerative economy

IF the present system is broken - and is in fact the heart of the meta-crisis - how can we transform peacefully to something that will work to create the future we'd want to leave behind? That's the core question of this podcast and so it was with great joy, that I found Dark Matter Labs. DML says of itself, "We're working to create institutions, instruments and infrastructures for a more equitable, caring and sustainable future.Around the planet, we're feeling the consequences of outdated institutions and inadequate infrastructures incapable of coping with planetary-scale challenges. At Dark Matter, we believe in taking on these challenges via a new, civic economy. An economy that's community-led, and based on many-to-many relationships. An economy that prioritises mental wellbeing and Nature-based Solutions as platforms for further change. We're an ambitious not-for-profit designing and building the underlying infrastructure to support this new civic economy, exploring how ownership, legal systems, governance … might begin to change." Which sounds exactly like what we need in our world as we head to the edge of total transition - and exactly what this podcast is about. So I asked if there was someone I could talk to - and connected with Emily Harris. Emily is a Chartered Accountant. She also holds an MA in Regenerative Economics (Distinction) from Schumacher College and a BSc in Medical Sciences from Imperial College. She trained with Deloitte in London and was a manager in their Big Ticket Restructuring Team during the 2008 global financial crisis.Prior to joining DML, Emily spent 11 years running her own consultancy business which took her all over the world and included a number of international CFO positions. In our current meta crisis, Emily has a view from both sides of one of our major divides - and now she's bringing all that experience, and a brilliantly sharp analytical mind to finding answers. Running after the conversations with Simon Michaux and Zahra Davidson, this feels like a further piece in the broader puzzle of how we are going to get from where we are, to where we need to be if we're going to create the future we want to leave behind. We spent a long time exploring Emily's background, so that I - and so you - would understand the depth she brings to this. And then we launched into what she's actually doing and it was really very inspiring.  There is hope, and Emily and the teams at DML are at the core of our potential.  Be ready to grasp the depth of the problem - and the many possibilities for change. Dark Matter Labs https://darkmatterlabs.org/DML on Medium https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.org/DML Medium on Financing Civic Transition https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.org/financing-city-transitions-a-public-civic-deep-code-innovation-challenge-9f2ef55b4bdaNora Bateson Aphanipoiesis https://norabateson.medium.com/aphanipoiesis-96d8aed927bcGillian Tett Warrior Accountants Leading the Green Revolution https://youtu.be/jR0n8mekzro

For this interview I spoke to Ferananda Ibarra (@fer_ananda), the Director of the Commons Engine, a Holochain Ecosystem service agency aiming to create a community of Regenerative Economy practitioners capable of designing ethical tokens and currencies to enable healthy flow, incentives, and feedback loops in order to evolve the economy and culture of their own communities and organizations.During the interview we spoke about what constitutes a commons both in the physical and digital worlds, her work with the Commons Engine, and the differences between monetary and non-monetary currencies (or current-sees). While this episode is not technically part of the OTNS series, we did also have a chance to talk about the commons as an alternative framework than what is used in The Network State.(w)hologram of the Holochain EcosystemIf you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Philosopher Raven Connolly is the guest on the podcast. Raven has explored the dark feminine and psychological diagnosis and their connection to the moment we are currently in. This conversation is exploring the pattern of extraction we are in through the lens of the dark feminine and masculine forces. We play between the systemic and the deeply personal as well as the internpersonal but fundamentally we are talking about all of this world we are living in. There are many layers to this exploration. If you want more of Raven you can find her on twitter here.

What would a transition to a post-oil future look like? A group of community organizations from around the state are convening to explore sustainable concepts, and how we can build a more equitable economy.

Rieki Cordon of SEEDS says, 'We need a Renaissance over revolution because a revolution is technically just revolving. It's having the same power structures, but with new people in power.  What's interesting about a Renaissance is it's a fundamental shift of the paradigm. So it's not something that's “us vs them”; like a revolution where the mission is often, “let's take down the 1%.”It's more about rethinking how our systems are designed, and how we show up in society. We have fundamentally new technologies. We have a fundamentally different environment that humanity is operating in and we've never before had a global civilization."SEEDS is not just about money and value exchange, it's about finding ways we can be in the world that are genuinely regenerative: Reiki is also a part of HYDRA, which is evolving the rules and baselines for regenerative villages.  In this second of two parts, we explore how a genuine regenerative renaissance might spread, how it might look and feel - how we can make it work.

ReFi (Regenerative Finance) is having a moment. ReFi is a reimagining of the financial system that accounts for the needs of all stakeholders, current and future. It puts a price on externalities: charging those who create negative externalities and rewarding those who create positive externalities. Celo is becoming ReFi's home. Celo is a carbon-negative EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to make it accessible and usable by anyone with a smartphone, anywhere in the world. Celo was built with its mission in mind and is making a big bet: in an omni-chain world where liquidity is not loyal, a blockchains distinctiveness and strength of mission will determine success. In this essay -- Not Boring breaks down Celo's mission and what the world looks like if it succeeds. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/notboring/message

In this episode, we welcome Sage Goto, the Family Strengthening & Violence Prevention Unit Supervisor with the Hawaii Department of Health. He is a student of aloha and an observant father, son and Oahu community member. After much self-reflection and humorous recollection, Sage shares several personal stories about his journey to help perpetuate meaningful family traditions rooted in aloha.

“We all agree...someone needs to do something about ocean plastic. This is the something, you are the someone.” David Katz, CEO of Plastic Bank. Today is World Oceans Day, observed by United Nations member states to bring discussions, policies, and people impacted by ocean and coastal degradation worldwide. In Episode 58, Sheri Hinish (SupplyChainQueen) chats with Plastic Bank CEO and Founder, David Katz, who describes himself as a creator in world who wants to make an impact improving the quality of life for others, connected to the ocean, poverty, and improving marine life. David's company is empowering the regenerative society turning plastic into gold by revolutionizing the world's recycling systems to create a regenerative, inclusive, and circular plastic economy POWERED by supply chains. Clients include Henkel, SC Johnson, and Aldi to name a few... The Plastic Bank builds ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities, and reprocesses the materials for reintroduction into the global manufacturing supply chain. Collectors receive a premium for the materials they collect to better help them provide basic family necessities such as groceries, school tuition, and health insurance.Collected material is reborn as Social Plastic® which is reintegrated into products and packaging. This creates a closed-loop supply chain while helping those who collect it. Plastic Bank is creating a new monetary standard in new school banking systems. Using a proprietary blockchain platform secures the entire transaction and provides real-time data visualization: allowing for transparency, traceability, and rapid scalability. In this episode, David challenges the concept of "the plastics problem" and says it's an "us problem". Describing the short-sightedness of convenience, he is on a mission to change the paradigm so people view the material differently in a world where everyone is part of the solution, not pollution. We explore secondary plastics, the social impact and need for a regenerative economy, how supply chains make it happen, and the creation of new standards and economies enabled just by thinking about materials differently, where waste is resource, We unpack ocean health and some stats around plastics. Also how we must urgently turn off the tap of virgin plastics. In closing David urges us to think about "what if it was profitable to have more love in the world and be stewards of the oceans, the people and marine life"? What an inspirational story to share on World Oceans Day, To learn more about David, visit https://plasticbank.com/ To learn more about the podcast, visit SupplyChainQueen.com

In Hawaiʻi, when you name someone, you name them with a hope, a vision, an aspiration, or to honor a relationship. In this episode, Pono Shim shares an encounter he had that prompted him to think about renaming the Millenial generation to give value to the resource that they are as they tackle the responsibilities handed to them by their parents' generation.

Phrasing can be incredibly important. In this episode, Pono Shim and Molly Mamaril talk about the phrase, "low hanging fruit" and its implications on our potential. Pono also discusses how adopting Queen Kapiolani's motto of "kulia i ka nuu" (to strive for the summit) can foster personal growth.

In this episode, Pono Shim discusses the the perception of fearlessness. In his own life, he shares how it is really fierceness that helps him take action to make change through aloha. By letting go of societal conventions such as agendas, time constraints and expectations we may see the true potential of an opportunity when it presents itself.

This episode is dedicated to all the students graduating in Spring 2021. Congratulations! We honor you and your efforts to better Hawaii and the world. This story is a favorite of many of Pono Shim's students so at the request of others, we made it into a podcast episode. The original script is from Pono's Chaminade University commencement speech in 2018.

Allison Saunders and Tyler Mejia share their insights from their experience serving as interns for the Oahu Economic Development Board.

With endless requests from individuals and companies asking for advice about how to begin doing business in Hawaii, Pono Shim shares stories that emphasize the importance of intention, knowing your community and earning confidence.

This episode is a short addendum to the previous episode. Enjoy!

What does it mean to pass the mic? In this episode, Pono Shim and Molly Mamaril discuss the importance of being present and giving attention to all voices, but especially youth voices. Pono shares a story of how one happenstance encounter to honor a young man's poetry lead to friendships and eventually a large-scale business opportunity for Hawaii.

In this episode, we explore the idea of letting go of our expectations for certain outcomes; resting in the uncertainty of a situation can be a space of growth and understanding instead of anxiety. Pono Shim shares two stories about the "bully pidgeons" and "waking the sleeping bear" which provide listeners with lessons that can be applied to scenarios we find ourselves in in everyday life.

Pono Shim shares about the powerful influence that stories have - that they themselves can serve as medicine. The right story for the right person can be very healing and could allow an individual to recognize how to overcome their own trauma.

The Oahu Economic Development Board offers a unique approach to regenerative economic development in Hawaii and emphasizes the importance of  relationships, not transactions, in business.  Learn more about the Oahu Economic Development Board at: https://www.oedb.biz/

This is a second brief extract from towards the end of my conversation with the legendary Hunter Lovins. It opens by looking at the tectonic shift that is apparently underway in the capital flows that will back in regenerative economies. Where banks are already looking at the stranded fossil fuel assets they're reclaiming and wondering what to do with them. And where the opportunities on the other side of the ledger grow. I heard Hunter say not long ago that the regenerative economy was already bigger than the extractive one in her home state of Colorado. But that nobody knows. So we talk about how they found out, how they engaged with 90% of the economy on it, and where else this might be true. Along with what to look out for. So much has changed in just the last couple of months, in the world at large and in Hunter's thinking. “Things are shifting,” she says. And “you can see the shape of the future.” Hunter is a best-selling author, including of the seminal Natural Capitalism, with Paul Hawken and Amory Lovins. She's also founder and President of Natural Capitalism Solutions, founding Professor of Sustainable Management at the Bard MBA, a pioneering rancher, and Chief of Impact at Change Finance. Hunter consults for companies and countries around the world, has been named Millennium TIME Magazine Hero of the Planet, and was awarded the 2008 Sustainability Pioneer Prize by the European financial community for her decades of pioneering work.

It's how the world works It's how the economy should work A regenerative economy for a regenerative world. We live in a regenerative world - it adapts to change, to challenge, and even to attack: it has systems that are anti-fragile if they are allowed to run their preset genetic programs. Life begets life, spreading and supporting the creation of more life. And isn't that the ideal economy, one that continuously grows and provides exponential benefit to the earth, its peoples, and the future care of all?

My guest today is one of the most inspiring and enthusiastic educators working in permaculture and regenerative education anywhere in the world. I had the pleasure of interviewing Matt Powers, author of “The Permaculture Student” and “The Permaculture Student 2,” in the last season on this podcast and got to catch up with him again to talk in depth about some of the most urgent transitions facing humanity and how we all need to prepare ourselves to contribute positively to a regenerative shift in the way our societies and economies operate. In this interview Matt breaks down how advances in technology and AI will affect us all and drastically disrupt our economy in the near future, but rather than paint a bleak picture of the days to come, we discuss how anyone motivated to do so can see this shift as an incredible opportunity to re-tool and re-skill to advance themselves and their communities in a new “Regenerative Economy.” We also talk about the types of jobs and contributions that will most be in demand in this changing global system and Matt even dispels the myth of the self-sufficient homestead being a way to insulate or disconnect ourselves during this transition. Matt is a fantastic educator and storyteller who illustrates his points with thoughtful observations from his own experiences and much of the beginning of this episode is spent talking about some of the big transitions that and his family have gone through directly Resources: thepermaculturestudent.com Matt Powers on Facebook
