Episode notes

We are a hard word to want it, but then we also want the kind of longer, slower seritone and stuff that comes from pride in respect. So i'm still kind of wanting to chisel into this world that we've created where work and life are separate. And i'm hearing that there are companies who are trying to create within the company a sense of being and belonging - which is what we're looking for in our greater systems. Some people for whom work was there being and belonging in their tribe, and they'd come home to a kind of cold relationship only survive because they didn't actually have to be in each other's company for very those of the ones that were completely

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?
