Intro

Tre' Cates is an entrepreneur and regenerative thought leader with over 25 years of experience. His work focuses on the importance of building healthy, regenerative organizational environments that support long-term goals without compromising the integrity of society or the environment. As the former COO of the Savory Institute, Tre' played a key role in shaping regenerative agriculture around the globe. For the past decade, he has served as director of nRhythm, which strives to bring life to the systems that connect us all. Tre' is focused now on developing a methodology and approach that brings a life-centered approach to organizations and institutions. 

In this episode, Tre' and host Neal discuss the principles of regenerative design and explore how they can be applied to many aspects of work and life beyond just agriculture, including in real estate. Tre' discusses his work with nRhythm, and how modern economic systems disincentivize putting life at the center of many of our institutions and organizations. Tre' and Neal also discusses organizations that are succeeding at holding life at the center of their work. For more information about Tre' and his work, visit nRhythm.
