(Conversation recorded on September 24th, 2024)     It is frequently true that those who will inherit the greatest consequences of our climate crisis – today's youth – have the least voice in shaping what happens next. But if given a seat at the table, what would these children have to say about creating a more sustainable path forward?  In this Reality Roundtable, Nate sits down with documentarian Damon Gameau and three young activists featured in his documentary film The Future Council, to discuss their experiences grappling with the complex challenges of transforming a system that is actively harming our planet and what they think should be done to save humanity from itself.  What do kids think about the actions of the most powerful and wealthy individuals and corporations in our global societies? How would they act differently if they had children sitting in their boardrooms? Finally, what would the world look like if we incorporated the hopes and fears of the youngest amongst us into our decision-making for the future?    About David Gameau: Damon Gameau is an Australian film director, speaker and author. In 2015, he turned to activism with his debut feature documentary ‘That Sugar Film', which sold to 25 territories and received numerous awards. Damon then directed the climate solutions feature documentary ‘2040' and authored an accompanying book ‘2040: a Handbook for the Regeneration'. Both films sit in the top 10 highest grossing Australian documentaries at the domestic box office.  Damon then co-founded Regen Studios with Anna Kaplan where together they work with philanthropists and partners to build comprehensive impact campaigns for their films, raising money for ecological solutions and awareness in classrooms, boardrooms, and Parliaments around the world.    About Skye Neville: Skye lives near Fairbourne in North Wales. This village has been described as the doomed village and its residents are destined to become the first climate refugees of the Western world. For the past few years Skye campaigns against the plastic rubbish on kids' comics and magazines. Skye is a massive fan of sailing but has a genuine dislike for plastic wrap magazines.   About Clemence “CC” Currie: She is the founder and current CEO of CCs Plastic Pick-up Crew, where they clean up local beaches in Scotland. She has a particular passion for the ocean, plastics and the climate crisis. CC loves hiking with her Dad but has no time for chocolate cake.   About Joaquin Minana: Joaquin is our straight shooter! Joaquin is from The Netherlands and has worn hearing aids since he was an infant. He speaks multiple languages and wants to use these skills to speak about the injustices of the world, as a writer or lawyer. He hates math but loves the first sound he ever heard.   Show Notes and More  Watch this video episode on YouTube   ---   Support The Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future Join our Substack newsletter Join our Discord channel and connect with other listeners

In a shocking turn of events Susan's youngest daughter got in the car one day last week after school and said "Guess what WE watched today" and sure enough it was That Sugar Film. Argh, this film refuses to disappear. A heightened conversation ensued! We thought it might be interesting to recreate the conversation minus Susan's swearing. The interview is in two parts as it was harder than it should have been to get everyone all in the same place at the same time. You'll hear both girls are fairly steady in their feelings about food and their body, and are fortunately not swayed by the film. This is exactly what we talk about all the time.

Kim Paul Nguyen is a multimedia journalist and filmmaker. He recently produced a documentary film called ‘Conversations with Coal Miners about Climate Change', funded by the Walkley Foundation and distributed by VICE. And what a film. Damon Gameau, the award-winning filmmaker of 2040, That Sugar Film, and most recently Regenerating Australia, calls it a ‘must-watch'. In many ways, there is no more important a story. And Kim navigates it beautifully. Though not without hitting up against the challenges that make this work so vital. Out of the story's dramatic and moving turns so much is revealed, including how coal miners, and the rest of us, are too often used as political pawns. And how we can get out of that trap, to have a chance at achieving more of the bigger picture outcomes just about all of us want. Kim's is a heck of a life story to date, and this provides the backdrop to the film. As a young person deeply concerned about climate change, he became a committed activist. In 2009 he cycled from Australia to Denmark to promote action on climate change, and was nominated for Young Australian of the Year. But it started to dawn on him that what he was doing wasn't working. It wasn't changing things the way he'd hoped. So he headed north, camera in hand, to dig deeper into what might. Kim has also written for The Guardian, Al Jazeera, VICE and the Big Issue. This conversation was recorded online with Kim at home in Sydney, on 11 May 2022.

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

Damon shares the power and potency of storytelling, and how we tell ourselves individual stories, but we also share collective stories, for example about how our economy ‘should' run, or how we ‘should' live our lives. The thing is, these stories are not very old in our history! Damon sees an opportunity for us to start sharing new stories, that will ultimately shape our culture and how we live. In a wide-ranging conversation we also talk about Damon's social and environmental impact campaigns to go with his films, which offer people an action they can channel their emotion into We talk about how we are developing ‘carbon tunnel vision', and the need to look at the world in a wholistic way rather than a reductionistic way We talk about our system of uninhibited economic growth, and how that plays out politically and how politicians are governing out of fear Damon shares his learnings living with indigenous cultures, and his experiences with psychedelics, and much more. And of course, we talk about his new film and body of work Regenerate Australia, which you will no doubt see a lot more about very very soon.   You're going to love this one, please enjoy, Damon Gameau See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"If our storytellers cannot find a way then the way cannot be found".  Join Jade & Damon in this conversation about defying the attention economy, ways to avoid being numbed but the inertia of the system (which is not actually our friend - despite it being dressed up that way) and why rites of passage could be the answer to rebuilding our culture .Finally, we  ask the big question  - how do you define ENOUGH. If you've loved Damon's films 2040 & That Sugar Film you're in for one exceptionally powerful convo with this captivating  & clever creative.Episode SummaryPeople are seeking leadership that doesn't use language without humanisationSo much of the story we are told now is dictated by extraction, competition, rivalry,The shift from humans with animus beliefs to industrialised beliefsDefining our collective stories through the feedback from our creative & soul stirring storytellersDefying the attention economy by stepping away from the barraging information torrent to allow for conscious decisionsFinding your place in action Choosing to understand rather than polarisingSlowing our judgement despite the push for pace - let a slowly defined opinion be yours Acknowledging we agree on a desire for community, healthy children, access to food….and we are not actually dividedTaking responsibility of our own individual actions and teach our children to listen & to understandWhy its NOT human nature to be greedy & selfish, because we've  evolved through a deeply cooperative, symbiotic spirit.Rewrite our culture away from competitive nature & highlight our dependency on each other Finding your path of individualism within the collective Deradicalising the truth of what we need to doConsidering context when storytelling to shift the needle Building a less fragile systemWhy it's not a nationalist sentiment if you want sovereignty of independenceShifting from being a consumer to being a citizenBuilding wings that will allow us to fly high and thrive with our culture providing the windManifesting creativity and ingenuity by working with our kidsShaping, creating and changing culture through coexistence, lateral thinking and practical skills - starting with the education of our childrenThe dance between peril and possibility Turning emerging science into magical stories to captivate kids imaginations  Prison inmates in the States spend more time outdoors than our childrenThe ongoing process of unlearning as flawed humans Deciding what's enough.

About our guest, Michele Chevalley Hedge: Michele Chevalley Hedge was previously a marketing manager, so she truly understands the needs of time-poor corporate executives who, family or not, want health but not hassle. Health magazine editors often introduce her as “the modern-day nutritionist – the one who likes a bit of wine and coffee.” She is not Paleo Pete, or I Quit Sugar but perfectly placed somewhere in the healthy middle. Michele's clinical practice and experience allow her to share stories of patients and their nutritional transformation, which give the audience goosebumps – the kinds of stories that can only be heard if you are at the coal face with clients. Women who say their addiction to food caused their divorce; executives who say they don't like going to the boardroom without her five top tips; and politicians, and their families, who come to her wellness retreats. Recognizing her sensible approach to nutrition, four years ago, Wiley Publishing commissioned Michele to write Beating Sugar Addictions for Dummies.  Every week, Michele works with major banks in Australia – Westpac, CBA, ANZ, HSBC, and corporations like Apple, Dropbox, Dexus, News.com, MFAA, Women in Focus, ACCOR, Westfield, Department of Defence, Tourism Portfolio, Heart Research Australia, Cure Cancer, and schools and education events. She is the keynote speaker for the Heads of Schools of Australia and the Positive Schools Conference in Hong Kong. Michele is also an ambassador for Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and the launch of THAT SUGAR FILM. Michele is the Nature Care College Ambassador, Cure Cancer Ambassador, and Heart Research Institute Ambassador and consults for 100's on international corporations. She recently sat alongside the Dalai Lama at a conference where she presented on ‘Vitality, Energy and Serotonin – It's all in Your Food.' Mental health and nutrition research is her passion, and she often declares, “It makes the New Yorker come out in her.” SPECIAL DISCOUNT CODE FOR LISTENERS: use the code: 25%offLSL when signing up to Michelle's Low Sugar Lifestyle Program Connect with Michele: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter Youtube Are you new to The Job Hunting Podcast?

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

Welcome to a new year of The RegenNarration. And what a year it's shaping up to be. But before we get into that, I wanted to take a brief moment here to admit to feeling a little flat. And by extension, to explain the delayed start to the podcast this year. Some sad and in some ways seismic changes have consumed me in recent times. And really, these changes relate to everything this podcast is about. So this episode starts on that note, before leading in to a conversation spanning a spectrum of spectacular efforts to regenerate the systems and stories we live by. Kind enough to join me in this sweeping primer for the year is friend, supporter of the podcast, and masterfully accomplished director of That Sugar Film and 2040, Damon Gameau.

David and Damon discuss why the film industry is getting it wrong when it comes to climate change, the importance of providing children with a utopian vision of the future, and how having a fundamental understanding of human psychology can create a better future for both people and the planet.

Is it possible to feed a future population of 10 billion people a healthy diet within planetary boundaries? Four years ago, this question was posed to a group of doctors and dieticians from all over the world, and their response became the Planetary Health Diet – a way of eating created by scientists to bring together the health needs of humans with what our planet can afford. By exploring simple food principles, the Planetary Health Diet charts a way to solve major health issues, and balance human needs with our impact on the environment in the age of climate change. Join public health advocate and CEO of VicHealth Sandro Demaio for a keynote talk, followed by a panel discussion with Alexandra Jones from The George Institute for Global Health, clinical dietician Jennifer Cohen and director of That Sugar Film, Damon Gameau as they discuss how we can all eat better and contribute to a healthier world.

Head to the Campaign here.Synopsis:2040 is a hybrid feature documentary that looks to the future, but is vitally important now. The 2040 journey began with award-winning director Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film). Motivated by concerns about the planet his 4-year-old daughter would inherit, Damon embarked on a global journey to meet innovators and change makers in the areas of economics, technology, civil society, agriculture, education and sustainability. Drawing on their expertise, he sought to identify the best solutions, available to us now, that would help improve the health of our planet and the societies that operate within it. From marine permaculture to decentralised renewable energy projects, he discovered that people all over the world are taking matters into their own hands.This journey is the central premise for the documentary ‘2040’, a story of hope that looks at the very real possibility that humanity could reverse global warming and improve the lives of every living thing in the process.It is a positive vision of what ‘could be’, instead of the dystopian future we are so often presented.About the Director:Gameau graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art with a degree in Performing Arts in 1999. In 2011, he won the short film competition, Tropfest with his animation Animal Beatbox.In 2014, he announced the production of the documentary That Sugar Film, in which he relates the dire mood swings and weight gain he experienced after taking on the low-fat, high-sugar diet for 60 days. Gameau wrote a companion book for the film, That Sugar Book, which reached the top of the Health & Well-being best-seller lists in Australia. That Sugar Film is the highest grossing Australian documentary released in cinemas across Australia and New Zealand.His most recent film, 2040, is a documentary is a letter to his 4-year-old daughter showing her what the world could look like in 2040 if we put into action the best solutions to many of our environmental challenges. It premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and has recently become one of the highest grossing Australian documentaries of all time in Australia. He also wrote an accompanying book, 2040: handbook for the regeneration'.He appeared in the 2009 feature film Balibo, in which he plays the part of Seven Network reporter Greg Shackleton. He starred as Scotsman Andy Maher in the Australian TV miniseries Underbelly.
