Episode notes

As a species, we've been around for 300 thousand yearseh and the vast majority of that time, it was only ten thousand years ago that we planted the first seeds. And so you can imagine sort of the developmental programming in our brains that have said, ok, be cautious. We're programmed to think we can somehow manage and control change, as opposed to embracing it. I liken it to em one of the planetary con ons is that it's in a state what's called dynamic non equilibrium - things are always changing.

Our guest in this podcast episode is Dr. Dayna Baumeister, a researcher, consultant, and educator in the field of biomimicry. She is the co-founder of Biomimicry 3.8., a project that trains change-makers in sustainable design principles inspired by nature’s forms, processes, and ecosystems.

Dayna and her business partner Janine Benyus have developed the biomimicry movement as a response to the world’s sustainability problems.

In this episode we talk about how we can learn from nature to be more resilient and self-sustainable, raise better adapted kids, and adopt the everyday practices to improve our chances of overcoming the climate and economic challenges ahead.
