Season 2
SEASON 2 EPISODE 10
This season was a significant milestone for us. We engaged with numerous individuals across the globe who have inspired us from afar and brought their unique perspectives to our platform. Each guest brought fresh insights, sparking conversations sometimes controversial but always meaningful. We've learned to embrace these divergent views, understanding that just like an ecosystem, the harmonious and the volatile coexist.
" This is not Western medicine for landscaping. This is adaptive and regenerative practices that are harmonizing and relating to the land to make us all healthy, inspired, back to the core of who we are and what we are, which is a deeply natural creature."
—Brit Sastrawidjaya
We don't get overnight understanding of what our actions are going to turn into. Whether it's seeds of conversation or seeds of design and construction, we do all of these things out of the effort to see, over time, health and improvements and vitality in ways we aren't experiencing them right now.
We discuss:
Business as craft: what changed in Brit's own leadership after David Hori and Jonathan Clay's episodes
Same values, opposite hemisphere: what Sarah Lebner's bushfire-resilient work in regional Australia had in common with the Pacific Northwest
From behind the curtain: how Angelique Robb and Molly Sedlacek each turned personal conviction into an industry platform
Season 3 sneak peek: a business mentor, a UK stewardship model, and one guest who’s product will be stir up conversation
“ In the benefit of community and each of us giving different angles on perhaps the same thing, if we're all sitting around a table and looking at the one same thing in the middle of the table, none of us are seeing it exactly the same.”
