  • Designing For Humanity: Regenerative Architecture In The Age Of AI With Kevin Kennon

    Cities are often built as uncomfortable concrete jungles completely disconnected from nature, and most of them rapidly deplete in just a few years. Our urban areas do not have to be designed this way, and they can be completely transformed through regenerative architecture. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Kevin Kennon, CEO of Beyond Zero, who shares how his zero-carbon luxury eco-resorts help heal humanity’s relationship with nature while providing sustainable living systems for everyone. He explains how reconciling high-end development with ecological stewardship can give birth to sustainable cities with a circular economy and cultural continuity. Kevin also explores the role of architects in shaping forth a new era of sustainable design and the right way to use AI tools in making this dream a reality.

  • Why the World Is Moving in Different Climate Directions and What Regenerative Leadership Looks Like Now

    A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi

    In this solocast, Corinna Bellizzi zooms out from the headlines to examine a deeper and more unsettling reality: the world is not moving together on climate action. Instead, nations are choosing very different paths — shaped by energy dependence, political cycles, economic pressures, and fear-driven narratives.

    Building on last week’s episode, The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy, this conversation explores why global climate leadership is diverging, how policy instability and “climate whiplash” undermine progress, and why regenerative leadership offers a credible path forward amid uncertainty.

    Rather than focusing on doom or delay, this episode reframes divergence as a signal — one that reveals where systems are breaking down, where new models are emerging, and where leadership rooted in care, systems thinking, and long-term resilience is quietly reshaping the future.

    In This Episode, You’ll Explore:
    • Why a unified global climate response was always more myth than reality

    • How energy dependence and political cycles drive divergent climate paths

    • What “climate whiplash” is — and why instability may be as dangerous as inaction

    • Why regenerative approaches change the climate conversation entirely

    • Where regenerative leadership is already emerging beyond national politics

    • What systems literacy, moral courage, and place-based wisdom look like in practice

    • How to stay grounded and hopeful in a world moving in many directions at once

    • Eat to Beat Disease with Dr. William Li: A Special Bonus Episode from “Nutrition Without Compromise”

      Guest: Dr. William W. Li, NYT-Bestselling Author of Eat to Beat Disease
      Originally Recorded: May 2022 on Nutrition Without Compromise
      Sponsor of Original Episode: ÖRLÖ Nutrition

      Co-Hosts: Corinna Bellizzi & Tia Walden
      This episode is shared with permission from Nutrition Without Compromise and ORLO Nutrition. 

      Episode Summary

      Today’s bonus episode comes from the archives of a show I once hosted—Nutrition Without Compromise—a series created to explore nourishment that never sacrifices human health, planetary health, or ethical integrity. While Dr. Li has joined us on Care More Be Better a few times, this conversation has never before aired here, and it remains one of my favorites.

      Dr. William Li, internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the bestseller Eat to Beat Disease, breaks down the body’s five health defense systems, the science of using food as medicine, and how we can personalize nutrition to strengthen immunity, support longevity, and reduce disease risk. We talk about dietary diversity, the joy of eating, the role of omega-3s, the pitfalls of low-quality supplements, and how modern research is reframing what it means to live vibrantly at every age.

      This episode originally aired under the sponsorship of ÖRLÖ Nutrition, makers of carbon-negative, algae-based omega-3s grown in Iceland using clean geothermal energy. Their commitment to regenerative nutrition aligned beautifully with the ethos of that show—and with the work we continue here.

      Topics We Cover
      • Dr. Li’s journey from medical researcher to food-as-medicine pioneer

      • The Five Health Defense Systems: angiogenesis, stem cells, microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity

      • Why dietary diversity—not restriction—is the foundation of vibrant health

      • How food can enhance medical treatments, not just prevent disease

      • The rise of planetary-aware eating and the importance of responsible sourcing

      • Omega-3s: fish vs. algae, and why quality matters

      • The 5x5x5 framework for daily eating without rigidity

      • How lifestyle, joy, and cultural food traditions shape well-being

      • Dr. Li’s free masterclasses and practical tips for getting started

        • The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy: Progress, Pushback, and the Battle for a Regenerative Future

          A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi

          This week, the global sustainability landscape delivered a swirl of conflicting signals — bold progress in some regions, dramatic rollbacks in others, and powerful reminders that our environmental challenges are deeply interconnected. In this solo episode, or "solocast," Corinna unpacks five major developments shaping the future of climate action, environmental justice, and regenerative systems worldwide.

          From a landmark U.S. court ruling in support of offshore wind, to the UN’s latest warning about our interwoven planetary crises, to troubling policy back-steps in Australia and Europe, and finally, a promising regenerative agriculture initiative here in the United States. This episode explores what these stories mean when viewed not as separate headlines, but as parts of a bigger, systemic whole.

          We are living in a moment of climate contradiction. Together, these global events reveal a world choosing dramatically different pathways: one extractive, one regenerative. Which one becomes our shared future depends on the choices we make today.

          • Why a U.S. federal judge’s ruling on offshore wind is a quiet but powerful climate victory

          • How the UN is reframing climate, biodiversity loss, pollution, and land degradation as one interconnected crisis

          • What motivated Queensland, Australia, to scrap its renewable energy targets and extend coal until 2049

          • Why the EU is considering easing environmental rules for AI data centers and gigafactories

          • How the USDA’s new $700M regenerative agriculture pilot could reshape American farming and rural economies

          • What these decisions reveal about the diverging worldviews shaping global climate policy

          • How systems thinking can help us make sense of this geopolitical climate whiplash

          • Into The Hollow Age: How Climate Fiction Shapes Our Future with Cathryn Bancroft and Ali Horriyat

            Storytelling can inspire us to take action on the ever-worsening climate crisis. Ali Horriyat and Cathryn Bancroft join forces in writing a new cli-fi book, The Hollow Age, which dares to ask the question: if our planet burns, do we run to another planet or risk everything to save it? Together with Corinna Bellizzi, they discuss how they use fiction to shed light on the alarming realities of the earth right now. Ali and Cathryn also break down the best ways to address the immigration problem in the United States and what it truly takes to begin a social revolution that leads to a real difference.

            COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT: https://caremorebebetter.com/into-the-hollow-age-with-ali-horriyat-cathryn-bancroft/

            About Guests: Ali and Cathryn are the co-authors of new cli-fi dystopian novel "The Hollow Age," from Compassiviste Publishing. When Ali contacted Cathryn about a collaboration with Compassiviste, she was excited to work on a novel that doesn't try to sugarcoat the trouble our world is in, but doesn't try to convince us it's hopeless, either. No matter how bad things get, helping each other is the best and only way to make them better again.

          • The Spirit of Giving: Minimalist, Meaningful Gifts for the Holidays

            How much is enough at the holidays?

            In this solo episode of Care More Be Better, host Corinna Bellizzi reflects on the spirit of giving at Christmas and beyond: how we can shift from consumerism to connection, from “more stuff” to more meaning.

            Drawing inspiration from her earlier interview with Stephanie Seferian, host of Sustainable Minimalists and author of Sustainable Minimalism, Corinna explores:

            • The Four Gift Rule and Seven Gift Rule

            • Why experiences and group gifts (like memberships or trips) often outlast toys

            • Ideas for spreading gifts across the 12 Days of Christmas

            • How minimalism and sustainability can deepen joy instead of limiting it

            • Simple, family-friendly ways to give more intentionally—and waste less

              • Clean Beauty Reimagined: Herbal Wisdom & Regenerative Skincare With Megan Douglas

                The skin is our biggest detoxification organ, and yet we put things on it that we do not fully understand. To avoid compromising your overall health with poorly made moisturizers and sunscreens, now is the time to give regenerative skincare products a try. Corinna Bellizzi is joined by Megan Douglas, fifth-generation herbalist and founder of The Organic Skin Co., who advocates for natural health, clean beauty, and sustainability. She talks about their holistic products made from organic ingredients and packed in highly sustainable material, which protect the skin and even the entire planet from further damage. Megan also shares practical tips on reducing toxic exposure in your personal care routine, as well as how the entire beauty industry can do its part in addressing the worsening climate crisis.

                About Guest:

                The founder of The Organic Skin Co., Megan Douglas is a fifth-generation herbalist and naturopath who is a passionate advocate for natural health, wellbeing, beauty and sustainability. This passion is the product of her past -from the many hours she spent out the back of her grandmother’s health food shop as a child, through her experiences in London as a fashion designer, her work as a naturopath (where she was shocked by the amount of women visiting her with skin problems, most of them caused by environmental stressors and toxins), and by her experiences as a mother, with a daughter who grew up interested in all things skincare and makeup.

              • Solving The Problem Of Plastic Pollution With Judith Enck

                Tons of plastic continue to pile up in landfills and find their way in our oceans, and it only gets worse every single year. Judith Enck, founder and president of Beyond Plastics, is leading the charge against plastic pollution for decades. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to share what must be done to accelerate and improve efforts in reducing plastic use, particularly recycling and reusing methods. Judith also explains why most plastics continue not to get recycled, the best way to reduce unnecessary food packaging, and why corporations are the biggest culprit behind the worsening state of plastic pollution.

              • Jim Kwik - The Brain Coach Loved By Oprah and Musk - Featured on Get Obsessed

                Shared with permission from The Get Obsessed With Living Your Best Life Podcast - hosted by Julie Lokun.

                This week, I’m excited to share a powerful conversation from my podcasting colleague and business bestie, Julie Lokun, host of Get Obsessed With Your Life. Julie sits down with Jim Kwik, the world’s leading brain coach and author of the bestselling book Limitless.

                Jim has trained visionaries like Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates — and in this episode, he breaks down how you can learn faster, remember more, and reprogram your brain for success in an increasingly AI-driven world.

                Together, Julie and Jim explore:

                • Why belief drives behavior — and how upgrading your internal “software” changes your outcomes

                • How to cultivate curiosity as a business superpower

                • What it really means to blend AI + HI (Human Intelligence)

                • Jim’s proven methods for improving memory, learning speed, and cognitive flexibility

                • The mindset shift: “Be a thermostat, not a thermometer” — lead the energy, don’t just react to it

                  This episode is more than a conversation — it’s a roadmap for unlocking your potential in work, creativity, and life.

                  Key Takeaways
                  • Your brain is your greatest business asset — train it intentionally.

                  • Curiosity fuels adaptability and innovation, especially in the age of AI.

                  • Your beliefs set the limits of your behavior — change your thoughts, change your outcomes.

                  • AI should amplify your strengths, not replace them.

                  • Mental clarity and focus are skills — and you can learn them.

                    About Jim Kwik

                    Jim Kwik is a world-renowned brain coach, speaker, and founder of Kwik Learning.
