Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration

In this BONUS episode, we're bringing you our coverage of chapters 4 and 5 of REGENERATION: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation by Paul Hawken. Since it was originally published in 2021, this consolidated content will prime you for our upcoming interview with Paul Hawken. If you have specific questions you'd like me to ask Paul, please send me an email note to: [email protected]

LAND: The topics covered range from Regenerative Agriculture to Composting and Vermiculture, Degraded Land Restoration and Returning Biodiversity. It's a hopeful chapter on everything we can do to change our current trajectory, reverse global warming, and return health to our soil, to our people, and our planet. We can draw down carbon - put it back where it belongs, and continue forward, creating a better future.

PEOPLE: With this chapter, we reveal and our role in solving the climate crisis, reversing global warming. We are asked to think about the role of colonialism in climate change, of its damaging effect on ecosystems as we knowingly or unknowingly eradicated the knowledge of generations who maintained forest farms and grasslands by pushing them off their homesteads. It’s a call to action for all of us. We are one, and it’s time we start acting like it.

In this episode of Care More Be Better, we compile our prior coverage of the first three chapters of Paul Hawken’s Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Focused on Oceans, Forests, and Wilding, in one refined episode. These chapters highlight how we can restore Earth’s ecosystems and regenerate Earth through vital ecosystems.

🌊 Oceans – The blue heart of our planet absorbs vast amounts of carbon, but pollution, overfishing, and acidification are pushing marine ecosystems to their limits. We discuss solutions like marine protected areas, regenerative ocean farming, and the power of kelp in carbon sequestration.

🌳 Forests – Our planet’s lungs are in crisis due to deforestation and degradation. Paul Hawken presents a vision for reforestation, agroforestry, and indigenous land stewardship as powerful tools to reverse climate damage. We break down key case studies and actionable insights from this chapter.

🦋 Wilding – Nature thrives when given the space to heal. Rewilding efforts, from Europe’s expansive wildlife corridors to North America’s prairie restoration projects, show us how restoring biodiversity can enhance climate resilience. We explore success stories and how individuals and communities can get involved.

🌎 Why This Matters:

Regeneration isn’t just a concept—it’s a movement. These chapters remind us that nature holds the solutions we need, and it’s up to us to work with it. Whether it’s through ocean conservation, forest restoration, or rewilding landscapes, everyone has a role to play in healing our planet.

White people and people of color learn and grow in different ways due to their vastly different cultural and economic backgrounds. Therefore, leaders should know how to properly integrate antiracism approaches into their teams to ensure every member has equal opportunities to grow and thrive. In this episode, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Janae Peters, co-creator of the Antiracist Development Group for managers of color. Janae explains how leaders can find the right affinity spaces where they can experience personal growth and fully understand intersectionalities affecting their decision-making processes. She also discusses how to avoid burnout when advocating for work equity, which is now in jeopardy with the DEI conversation being caught in a political firestorm.

About Guest:

Janae Peters is an educator, high school administrator, and social worker, and brings all these lenses to her consulting work with Think Again Training & Consulting. Janae co-created the Antiracist Development Group for managers of color. Using frameworks that address the unique challenges of managers of color, this eight-week, small-group program provides space for learning, reflection, peer support, and action to explore how systemic oppression shapes leadership and develop strategies to disrupt patterns that uphold inequity.

DEI programs are being shut down left and right, and the toxic culture of white supremacy is becoming more rampant. This has led to more and more people making white privilege a norm in their own workplace cultures. Davey Shlasko, founder of Think Again Training, leads the revolution in shaping inclusive, diverse, and anti-racist leaders. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how to build the right leadership that addresses bias, discrimination, perfectionism, and an unfair focus on hierarchy. He also discusses how the worsening perspectives on DEI adversely impact the state of economy, minimum wage, business hiring practices, and a person’s choice of pronouns.

About Guest:

Davey is the founder and director of Think Again Training & Consulting, a collaborative consulting practice that supports organizations to integrate equity, inclusion and social justice into their long-term planning and everyday practices. Davey co-created the Antiracist Development Group for white managers, an 8-week cohort program based in frameworks of intersectional social justice and challenging white supremacy culture that prepares white people in leadership roles to bring antiracist practices into their management, supervision, planning and everything about their leadership.

Rachel also explains how to be more critical when consuming different kinds of media and how to cultivate the right mindset to stop yourself from following leaders blindly.

The social and economic inequity in the United States is clearly evident just by looking at the current state of the American healthcare system. It is broken in so many areas and highly ineffective in addressing the actual needs of the people, leaving many citizens to live in constant suffering. Thankfully, today’s tech innovations could offer some solutions to this massive problem. Joining Corinna Bellizzi is social change futurist Sheila Phicil, founder of Phicil-itate Change LLC, who is building a blockchain-powered platform that could fix the many issues of the healthcare system. She explains why the main problem lies in the blatant disregard for values, not in the lack of financial support. Sheila also offers some ways of making healthcare equally accessible to everyone, even to people of color, underserved communities, and minority groups who are always exploited when it comes to well-being.
