Trading Nature:  Frontier markets, biodiversity credits with Drea Burbank

Historically trading has been a place of peace. Savimbo is a modern day ‘fair trade post’ launching a frontier market where protectors of nature are valued and paid- fairly.

Drea Burbank, CEO is co-founder of Savimbo, a climate finance social enterprise helping Indigenous Peoples and local communities access markets that value nature, like biodiversity and carbon, directly.

Savimbo structures transparent, results based fair contracts that pay the people who actually protect forests. We talk about why many legacy systems -like REDD, have failed to deliver real conservation outcomes.

This conversation offers a practical look at generative economics, Indigenous land rights, frontier markets that value nature, and the emerging vision of a solarpunk future.

We explore:

• Biodiversity credits versus carbon credits

• Why voluntary carbon markets have failed

• Indigenous led conservation

• Results based nature finance 

• Frontier markets and biodiversity credits

• The Ecological Benefits Framework for real world impact reporting

• Colonial finance structures 

• Rights of Nature 

• Indigenous governance systems

• Solarpunk as visionary thought-form

• How businesses and consumers can support direct forest conservation

I’m joined by profound wisdomkeeper, researcher, and explorer of ancient intelligence, Patricia Lehman. A long-time resident of Egypt and devoted student of indigenous Egyptian knowledge, Patricia brings a deeply embodied understanding of mythology, symbolism, and the ancient codes that shape human consciousness.

Together, we explore how ancient civilizations like Kemet (ancient Egypt) understood cycles of consciousness, perception, time, long calendars, and reality.

This episode is a powerful inquiry into how we remember truth in an age of confusion, how right-brain consciousness reawakens through the heart, and how ancient wisdom offers a living map for navigating NOW.

We explore:

2:42 Solar cycles, chaos, and collective anxiety

3:56 The thinning electromagnetic “veil” and its impact on human biology and perception

6:47 Why discernment—not belief—is the critical skill of this era

7:10 Ancient Egyptian cycles of consciousness and the fall into separation

8:08 Why truth is felt, not defined

9:31 Nothing is real: illusion, perception, and awakening

13:44 The hidden heart, the divine feminine, and the meaning of Amun

14:29 Right brain vs left brain consciousness—and how to restore balance

29:53 Masculine and feminine energies beyond gender

35:33 Fear, confusion, and modern tools of control

47:21 The holographic nature of reality and self-reflection

56:35 How to begin trusting your inner knowing again

In this episode, I am joined by my dear friend, soul sister, and alchemist, Robin Rose Bennett. A legendary herbalist, storyteller, and teacher since 1986, Robin shares a profound perspective on herbalism that goes far beyond substituting a pill for a plant. We dive into the sacred relationship between humans and the "green world," exploring how plants act as our elders, teachers, and wisdom keepers.

Together, we journey through the transition from spiritual seeking to full spectrum embodiment -as nature. Robin shares how the plants helped her fall in love with being alive, how they offer an antidote to the modern ailments of fragmentation, isolation, and loneliness, and simple ways to connect more deeply with the natural world around us.

This conversation is an invitation to come home to your body, trust your senses, and remember your original instructions from the Creator: to give your gifts generously for the benefit of all beings.

In this episode, we explore:

• The wonderous "side effects" of herbal medicine,

• How plants bridge the gap between enlightenment and physical embodiment,

• Moving past supplements to find true connection with living plants,

• The miracle of Hyssop: A story of physical healing and the restoration of trust in nature,

• Plant intelligence and the "Original Instructions",

• Trusting your "Truth Bumps",

• The Microcosm / Macrocosm,

• Finding your "Guardian Tree": A practical exercise for protection and connection, and 

• Why processing grief is essential to accessing true, medicinal joy.

In this episode, I have the profound honor of sitting down with Thomas Drake, a former senior executive at the National Security Agency (NSA) who became one of the most consequential whistleblowers of our time. After exposing post-9/11 mass surveillance and systemic abuses of power, Thomas faced 35 years in prison under the Espionage Act, only to walk free as a living testament to integrity under fire.

We journey through his "moment of truth" at the NSA and dive deep into his evolution from a veteran of the Air Force, Navy, and CIA to a seeker of spiritual and metaphysical truth. Together, we explore the fine line between secrecy and transparency, the dangers of a "highly ordered dystopia," and how we can collapse the potentiality of a dark future to manifest a redeemed world.

This conversation is a bridge between the "shadow lands" of national security and the blazing hope of a human rebirth, reminding us that we are not just human doings, but human interbeings.

In this episode, we explore:

04:34 How a near-death experience at age four sparked a lifelong search for truth.

11:50 Reporting to the NSA on 9/11

11:00 The "Shadow Lands" of secrecy: How government institutions become addicted to hiding the truth.

27:30 The cost of courage: Facing 10 felony counts and 35 years in prison for upholding the Constitution.

30:13 How intentionality collapses the future into our present reality.

36:42 Corporate Futurism vs. Conscious Futurism: Breaking the "spell" of inevitable technocracy.

38:20 Using ancient memory to navigate the complexity of the modern nexus point.

42:15 Why human governments fail and how we must learn to govern ourselves.

50:13 Moving past the pathology of power to find unity on our "privileged planet."

51:55 The vision of a redeemed Earth and the upcoming transition beyond the event horizon.

About Thomas Drake

Thomas Drake is a former senior executive at the National Security Agency turned whistleblower on post-9/11 mass surveillance, government malfeasance, and intelligence failures. A veteran of the Air Force, Navy, and CIA, he was the defendant in a signature Espionage Act case during the Obama administration where he faced 35 years in prison for telling the truth. He holds a PhD in Public Policy and Administration, focusing on the consequences of secrecy. 

Today, Thomas is a dedicated defender of civil liberties and a "conscious futurist" peering past the abyss to glimpse a redeemed world. He has been featured in the documentary "Silenced," PBS Frontline’s "United States of Secrets," and 60 Minutes.
