Audrey Fillion⁠ (⁠EP224⁠), ⁠Ria Baeck⁠ (⁠EP155⁠), ⁠Adrian Wagner⁠ gathered for the second part of the first ever World of Wisdom roundtable. We spoke of evaluation, scaling, micro-moments of empathy and scaling. Beyond scaling up we also need to scale deep and wide. And how we can do that through technology. This deep conversation also touches upon the path dependency of our tools, what it takes to generate healthy soil and most of all what happens when "we take god a bit more seriously than ourselves. Enjoy!

Audrey Fillion (EP224), Ria Baeck (EP155), Adrian Wagner gathered for the first ever World of Wisdom roundtable. This time we spoke about regenerative gatherings. This conversation is a rich and deep exploration with people that probably have a century of experience of gatherings between them. We speak of attention, action, what can be done and what is 'right action'. We speak of the substrate of gatherings, the importance of pioneers and how relationships are like soil that we can then plant seeds in. There is so much more. Take a listen!

Ruben Daniels (Founder of Allelo) and I had a wonderful conversation about systems transformation, digital sovereignty and what it takes to begin living into a stable state of interbeing. Ruben is a successful IT entrepreneur that has since shifted his focus towards sovereignty- food, economic and digital. We speak especially about the economic and digital aspects of this sovereignty. Ruben is also a co-creator of the Masterminding Eden that Camara Cassin recently spoke of on the podcast. Ruben is a fellow ecosystems weaver and systems thinker and this is a wonderful conversation! Enjoy!

Camara Cassin (LinkedIn) mother of 4, Environmental Science Technologist and transformation powerhouse as well as source and Founder of Masterminding Eden. We speak of the technologies that are already there, the seeds of what may come next. The importance of social as well as other technologies to break the silos. Why it's important to build a concrete pilot in a particular place and then replicate that. We also speak of the Overton window, the conditions for transformation and why it's important to both make a difference and to come together. Check out the link to Masterminding Eden event above.

Kasper Bjorkskov, an activist and consultant focused on systemic change in the building industry, shares his insights on creating resilient transformations in Denmark. He emphasizes the importance of biodiversity as a metric for change rather than just carbon reduction. The conversation dives into the role architects play in fostering connections between built environments and human well-being. Kasper discusses tactical activism and the need for collective action, urging listeners to embrace a holistic approach to sustainability and recognize nature's intrinsic value.

Turiya Hanover (LinkedIn) one of the founders of Path of Love. We speak of the transformation that is possible when we become honest with ourselves and its potential for the world we live in. What does it take to find out what's between yourself and love? What if your deepest pain explored will bring you to your deepest humbleness? What if this notion of equality is misconstrued - what if, instead, we're all invited to come home to the life we're meant to lead? A life where some happen to be big and some not. This is a wonderful, concrete, conversation about what it takes to come home. For more about path of love: https://pathretreats.com

Hanna Moisander (⁠LinkedIn⁠), co-founder of ⁠Deb⁠ is on a mission to democratise boards and radically shift their demographic. As we move through some of the basics of board work there are some radical calls to action that emerge. The notion that the board is one of the few points in the corporate world where there is direct personal responsibility. Deb is pioneering the perspective that we need to radically transform the demographics of boards if we want different outcomes. Also dipping into some of their experience on what happens to company performance as boards are transformed, both in terms of financial and sustainability performance. This is a very practical conversation, an invitation to taking your responsibility right now.

Rory Tews (⁠LinkedIn⁠) visited the podcast and we spoke of his work in societal transformation. Rory's been working in many domains of transformation and transition. From financial markets to building markets and institutions. This is a fundamental rethink and reframe of the challenges and shifts we stand before Rory is a first principle thinker that does not waver in the face of collapse. His notions are radical yet lives in the domain of the possible. One of the most interesting concepts is that of community level resilience. I dare you to listen and not be provoked. I dare you listen and not be inspired. Enjoy!

Donnie Maclurcan (LinkedIn) the Director of Strategy at the Post Growth Institute visited the podcast this week. We have an in-depth conversation about what the core of the matter with capitalism in. We speak bout money, post-growth economics, the needed shift towards circularity. Why he can definitively say that we already know after having run more than 10.000 experiments over the past decade or so. This conversation is such an important primer for getting into these topics and it's not intellectual and difficult it's actually grounded, embodied and compassionate. For more info: How on Earth.
