Thor Sigfusson director of the Icelandic ocean cluster and author of 100% fish came on the podcast and we spoke about fish, innovation, clusters, business, having the courage to speak 'normal Icelandic', circularity and doing it without knowing it, practitioners and many other things. This is a conversation about an industry with a huge impact in the world and where it's headed and how one can move it towards 0% waste.

Jeff Su, founder of nrythm, delves into the regenerative paradigm, discussing topics like employee engagement, organizational transformation, and embracing complexity in understanding living systems. The conversation explores the limitations of traditional academia, the shift needed in dealing with complex problems, and the 'with life approach' in design across various systems.

Thought leader, designer and energy powerhouse Leyla Acaroglu (web, LinkedIn) came and talked about circularity, systemic perspectives, design and indigenous communities. We also talk about shit, what it is to suck at regeneration, participation in systems and learning. What does it mean to really take fully into account the context, whether it is hot and dry climate or the most poisonous spiders in the world? That we consist of both stardust and chickens and much much more. This is a wonderful conversation that goes deep and wide. Enjoy. Host Amit Paul Extended shownotes (Substack)

This is the third installment with Ylva and Alexander. This time we talk about the anteroom (mellanrum). This is the concept of the space between worlds where we can begin sensing and moving into what will come next. This is a powerful conversation about what it takes to go beyond the current paradigm. It is for those that are curious and interested about what is to come next. For those that have perhaps let go of some of what this world has to offer. For those that are doing this for something bigger than themselves, that long to be in service. Enjoy! Extensive shownotes (Substack)
