Green Planet Blue Planet Podcast

The Sovereign Nature Initiative strives to reconfigure the intersection between ecology, economy, and emerging technologies in order to open the possibility for radical approaches toward sustainability.Alessandro's current mandate at SNI is to facilitate relationship-building between nature stewards, technologists, and the wider collective who are committed to building sustainable futures in partnership with the larger community of Life. The Manifesto of the Sovereign Nature Initiative: Our relationship with nature is threatening the ecosystem of our entire planet in an existential way. We believe that we need to change our perception of nature on a fundamental level. We need to develop new ways of understanding cohabitation that undermine the historic hierarchy of human domination and control. To get there, we want nature to become self-governing - able to act in its own interest, free from human exploitation. Learn More: https://sovereignnature.com/about

“There is real intrinsic value in a healthy ecosystem without the extraction of life.” ~ Jeremy McKane. In this episode of Green Planet Blue Planet, Host Julian Guderley holds a dialogue with Ocean Currency Network Founder CEO Jeremy McKane who is driving impact in measuring ocean data with systems that are on track to hit one Billion measurements per day by the end of this year. OCN is a blockchain enabled network to share oceanic data and quantify the true value of protected areas. Jeremy is focused on educating people about AI, comparing it with the introduction of the microcomputer and other technology that humans had to learn to understand and drop their fears and learn how to use the tools most effectively in a nature-based economy. What if people could use artificial intelligence as their own personal cabinet, like a President who is given daily intelligence briefings on a high level to digest only  what he needs to know at that particular moment in time. The analysts and advisors are still important, for example, but the AI can quickly pick out the top info to share. This episode explores how AI gives everyone an opportunity to use information as power; to push the needle for the first time toward impact with these tools. Julian sets the stage for more description of the Ocean Currency Network efforts to create a nature-based economy and increase trust in investments for climate solutions. Ocean Currency Network is set to protect 30 percent of the Ocean by 2030 by marrying a nature based economy with the incoming reality of artificial intelligence. They have built a platform that produces  frequent overarching reports to show exactly what’s happening in the ocean. Imagine the power to make decisions early enough to actually avert the next major catastrophe. These systems will revolutionize the measurement and tracking of ocean data that is being gathered by scientists around the world. Ocean Currency Network pays scientists and citizens to collect ocean data reports into the hands of the masses using artificial intelligence. Tune in to learn more about the OCN mission and its position to encourage practical citizen data collection with products and systems that communities may use to interpret overall ocean health and create trackable solutions, and the inexpensive Seamore sensors that are disrupting the way data is collected.

In a world grappling with environmental challenges and the need for sustainable solutions, visionary leaders like Jay Samit are leading the way towards a greener and more sustainable future. The advent of the latest AI tools brings up brand new questions as we humans figure out the best way to use this knowledge tool for good and for finding sustainable solutions together. In this episode of GreenPlanet-Blue Planet, host Julian Guderley talks with Futurist, Author and Entrepreneur Jay Samit about the most concerning questions and topics that have taken the stage recently in mainstream media interviews but have not been addressed widely or appropriately. For example, does AI lie? What could a malevolent AI do to a person? Jay refers back to the movie “Brazil” from Monty Python co-creator Terry Gilliam’s, which depicts a world where the AI has gone awry from corrupted programming. Could this be our future? Join this episode to explore Jay’s work and views on sustainable solutions using AI. Will it work with humans, or work against us? As he notes, AI solves problems differently than humans. So how will this new human/AI world work? Jay is a change agent, who combines his vision and humor to motivate listeners to become innovators within their organizations. Jay’s goal is to get people to be passionate about overcoming obstacles, while teaching them how to think bigger and embrace change. Samit provides disruptive solutions for such corporate clients as Adobe, Amazon, American Express, AT&T, Best Buy, Coca Cola, Disney, Facebook, Ford, GE, Google, IBM, Intel, McDonalds, Microsoft, Proctor & Gamble, Starbucks, Unilever, Visa, and dozens more. The former Independent Vice Chairman of Deloitte Digital, Jay has pioneered advancements in music and video distribution, social media, and ecommerce.

Fifteen year old Hanalei Swan is a real powerhouse, an unstoppable teenage activist with a mission. She is a role model and example of the new kind of activist, stepping away from polarization and leading with empathy and focusing on solutions from a place of deep connection and inspiration with Planet Earth. Hanalei is also a Fashion Designer, Artist, International Speaker, Author and Model. A must listen episode to learn with Hanalei to live and create from a multi-generational perspective. “Ask Yourself What Do You Want To Be Now” HANALEI SWAN, born April 17, 2007, is a fashion designer, artist, author, international speaker & founder of “Unstoppable Kids” while traveling the World since I was 1 y​/o. Hanalei Swan (born April 17, 2007) is a fashion designer, artist, author, international speaker, and founder of the “Unstoppable Kids”, while traveling the World since she was 1 y​ear old. She was named after the stunning destination at which her parents were married and was born during a financially difficult time for her parents. At the age of one, Hanalei was brought along with her parents to travel the world. Hanalei is a bright young fashion designer whose passion has been apparent since she was eight years old. She was brought up to seize opportunities in her youth - her parents didn’t ask her what she wanted to be in the future. Instead, they asked her, “What do you want to be now?” She is an avid lover of animals and lives near the beach with her parents and her rescued cat and dogs. Since the age of three, she has always buried her nose in a sketchbook full of her doodles and sketches. Hanalei’s drive remains constantly geared towards ethical and eco-friendly fashion. Her altruistic nature has been refined over the years; upon being offered a US$30 million investment from a Shark Tank venture capitalist, she turned the opportunity down because she refused to outsource her business to China and India, countries where the quality of working conditions was low.

Today's guest is Gregory Wendt who works in Sustainable Wealth Management and Strategy, Impact Investing and Regenerative Economic Development Innovation. This episode is a deep dive into Systems Change, and was inspired by a recent meeting within Top Tier Impact, the global ecosystem of impact and sustainability leaders. The recording was set up as a roundtable with several people in the room, asking questions to Gregory Wendt and Host Julian Guderley. We are living in a world in which there is more change than any one person can track, whilst we have inherited old systems that govern us that were created in vastly different times. We are increasingly stepping into a participatory world, what can we co-create when we emancipate current systems to serve a synergistic world. What are leverage points to change systems ? Further questions we explore during this dialogue: What was the mindset with which our current systems were designed? What are the necessary preconditions, and the processes well underway for systems change for a planetary civilization? What Systems have we inherited and what Systems are actually changing at this point in our time on the Planet? Are the SDG's a good approach to evolving our systems, or is there a deeper conversation to be had? What is our relationship to the Planet, to each other and the way we go forward together?

Todays guest is wisdom-keeper Phillip Moore, he returns for another sit down conversation with Julian. Check out Phil's newest training for Educating the Future of Children In a nutshell, Phil Moore leads with his heart. He puts this extraordinary heart capacity to work by playing the infinite game. A game where there are no losers and winning means oneing.(from me to we). Where you play with the rules rather than by them. An infinite game player plays to leave an invisible legacy in the hearts and minds of others.This kind of open heart—willing to give and receive, attracts allies and seeds possibilities. For his entire life as a teacher, husband, father, Granda, mentor, writer and leader, Phil has been an artist of possibilities. This artistry opens doors, forges bonds, spreads inspiration and astonishing learning happens for everyone in his orbit. Thanks to Phil, the lives of many have been changed from his loving humanity.Phil has always been driven by his love for children, for his love of the wild and for building and sustaining a learning community. From the age of 23 he was asked to embody and serve a community for more than four decades that grew from over fifty children, to nearly 100. Over half a century later, this learning community is alive, evolving, and serving one foundational goal: To Love Children into Being. This living legacy is shifting entire communities from the dominant paradigm to a new paradigm that is based on love and deep inter-relatedness.It’s tricky to measure this legacy and impact, yet easy to share some of the tangible ways Phil has shared his heart across the world. A few to mention:- His book The Future Of Children grew out of over four decades of direct experience with children who have been educated in a school that was based on love. These children have grown up to be very different kinds of people. Their direct connection to the natural world has influenced them to feel a deep connection with life. - Loved thousands of children and their extended families in ways that helped us navigate challenging and difficult times. - Created loving bonds between teachers, parents, neighbors, and friends. - Built a campus, over 4 decades, that is currently serving close to 100 students and teachers based on doing more with less, using regenerative non-extracting technologies. - Influenced an unknown number of people who attended: workshops, retreats, concerts, tours, films, ceremonies, conferences, and events designed to uplift our spirits and inspire others to become infinite game players.Inspired love-based initiatives, and innovations in education communities across the globe.
