Episode notes

i've always had quite an eco systemic approach to my interests, which is just a natural way that and on the one hand it makes life wildly exciting and fascinating. On the other it's also really hard, because i'm constantly trying to make sense of how these pieces fit together,. How do the dots join up? What are the ways in which we can see bridges between things that others may not see connections between? So that's, i think it arises from that just natural character. I feel like i've got maybe five or six different people in one er, and i're constantly trying to get this chorus of selves to sing somehow in unison, without dropping any of the major voices.

In a world where governments are failing on all levels, can regenerative business be the change we need to see in the world? Can the new wave of meaningful work create the sense of coherence and community and connectedness to the earth that we need to take us forward?

Nathalie Nahai is host of The Hive podcast, author of two books, international speaker and consultant with businesses big and small. Her clients have included Unilever, Google, Accenture and Harvard Business Review, among many others.

Her most recent book, 'Business Unusual: Values, Uncertainty and the Psychology of Brand Resilience', opens up worlds of business where profit is not the only motive, where psychological safety, meaning and solidarity are core business values and businesses are learning to walk their talk. In a world where government is failing so completely to address the many crises of our time, we spent an hour discussing whether business can fill that gap, and if so, how? When it is such a huge part of our lives, when the entire neoliberal model seems to be predicated on a cycle of wage-slavery followed by meaningless consumption, can work bring us back to balance with ourselves, each other and the ecosystems of which we are an integral part?
