In this episode, Jakob Seidler is talking with Mike Gilliland, co-host of the Future Thinkers Podcast. 1,5 years ago, Mike and his partner Euvie Ivanova have started the Smart Village, a future home for regenerative living integrating the various things they learned from their podcast guests. Mike has also been working on launching Portal DAO, which is supposed to aid in connecting various regenerative projects around the world to create a broader sense of support in community. We explore the various design principle decisions they have made when starting the project, the challenges they have had to overcome during these early times, and advice for people trying to do something similar. Enjoy!‌

In this episode we are continuing our series of Earth Regenerators Stories with Jakob Seidler talking to Vivek Gani. Vivek visited Joe Brewer during the in-person workshop he gave back in Costa Rica on The Strategic Framing of Planetary Collapse many years ago. From then onward, he has been involved in the important first discussions when Earth Regenerators tried to find its own identity as it developed from a random assortment of individuals into a community. We hope you enjoy our conversation with him and take his advice to heart: always remain in inquiry, lest you might blind yourself to hidden opportunities.

In this episode we are continuing our series of Earth Regenerators Stories with Jakob Seidler talking to Rachel Olson. Rachel was on the ER Journey before Earth Regenerators was even created, finding Joe Brewer's first Crowdcast webinars through Twitter. She was part of the first study group on the Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth and of the first steps of many of the projects that now host the biggest activity on the Earth Regenerators Mighty Networks Platform, from the Bioregional Catalysts to the ER Fund. She has also just released the second book published with Earth Regenerators Press: Finding Ourselves in the Age of Collapse. We hope you enjoy listening to her journey and feel as inspired as we did.

In this episode, Charles Upton interviews Tom Ash. Tom worked for over 30 years in the public water agency world and was the first to implement a water budget tiered rate structure, adjusting water prices to individual needs and usage. Using the power of data and trusting in their consumers intellect to understand the new system, he created an incentive structure towards conserving water allowing their managed area to reduce water consumption while the population was increasing, all without spending money on an official water conservation program. This episode contains many lessons that can be generalized from water use to all sorts of regenerative initiatives, so listen closely and enjoy!

Charles Upton is an expert in water management and long time Earth Regenerators member. He works with his company osoeco.co to reverse land degradation.

Today we will experiment with a new format: an audio essay on the ever lingering question: why? Why do we do all this? Why put in the effort to regenerate the earth? There are many situations when we are tempted to give up and just return to a "normal life". For those situations we need a why to continue. In this episode, Jakob Seidler shares some parts of his philosophical journey with regeneration and this most important word.
