E204: We Need To Make The Planet Better- Storm Cunningham Interview
Master of restoration, author and U.S Army veteran, Storm Cunningham joins the show today to talk us through how he earned the name ‘guru of the trillion-dollar global renewal trend’ and what he is doing to help restore the planet. Together they discuss why we do not just have to conserve what we have left on the planet, but how we can restore the damage we have already done, the importance of staying focused on your life mission and why you should raise your standards in life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The planet is in a poor condition currently, which begs the question, why would anybody want to sustain it as surely it is past repair? We do not just have to be satisfied with conserving what is left of nature, we can actually restore the damage that we have already done.
- Once you become attuned to the fact that restoration exists, you start to see it everywhere. You can see revitalisation, repurposing and restoration everywhere once you really begin to look for it, you have just never really noticed it before.
- A process is absolutely essential to reliably produce something. Those who run cities and regions do not seem to understand that.They promise revitalisation however they do not have a process for what they are producing or promising. They figure out that if they do some good things, revitalisation will magically appear.
- No matter how inspiring your mission may be, you are always going to have to deal with ‘ugly’ people and not very bright institutions. Focus on your mission and do not hassle yourself with negativity.
- If you choose your opportunities properly, they will allow you to get paid to do the things that you would usually pay to do. Raise your standards and find a job that can teach you a valuable skill which can open up new, fun and lucrative opportunities for you.
- So many people have very low standards when it comes to jobs, so long as they have a pay cheque they are content. That tends not to lead to living a joyous life.
BEST MOMENTS
“Look around at the planet, this place is a total mess right now. Who wants to sustain this? We need to make it better.”
“Every genre has two great books, the first one that was written, and the best one.”
“These are the people in charge of the future and they are putting their trust in magic and hope.”
ABOUT THE GUEST
“Storm is often called the guru of the trillion-dollar global renewal trend. He started writing The Restoration Economy in 1996, when brownfields redevelopment, regenerative agriculture & restoration ecology emerged.That 2002 book advanced today's regenerative trends: resilience, circular economy, carbon-negative, etc. Storm's new book (January 2020) RECONOMICS reveals a reliable path to inclusive, resilient regeneration.”

ABOUT THE HOST
The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire In The Belly’.
Pete is an Entrepreneur, Mentor, Coach, Property Investor, and father of 3 beautiful girls. Pete’s background is in Project Management and Property, but his true passion is the ‘Fire in The Belly’ project itself. His mission is to help others find their potential and become the mightiest version of themselves. Pete openly talks about losing both of his parents, suffering periods of depression, business downturn and burn-out, and ultimately his years spent not stoking ‘Fire In the Belly’. In 2017, at 37 years of age that changed, and he is now on a journey of learning, growing, accepting, and inspiring others.
