This is Not the End - A 360 review on Regeneration

After an incredible 7-year journey, Julian Guderley has recorded the 360th and (for now) final episode of Green Planet Blue Planet podcast. In this special episode, Julian is interviewed by his friend and collaborator Hope Paterson as they reflect on the genesis, evolution, and impact of the show.

What started as a childhood dream of having his own "radio show" blossomed into a platform for sharing the voices and visions of inspiring change-makers from around the world. As Julian shares, his intention was to "meet some of the world's impact creators, people that make change, people that bring positivity to the world" through projects, businesses, art and more.

Over 360 episodes, Julian has done just that - providing a space for authentic, insightful conversations that illuminate pathways towards individual and collective regeneration. The tagline "More than Sustainability" reveals the underlying ethos - going beyond superficial eco-trends to explore how to truly heal ourselves and build a more beautiful world.

The Power of Authentic Conversations

A central theme explored is the power of honest dialogue to connect, inspire and transform. Julian reflects that "every single person has something insightful, powerful and authentic to share" if you listen deeply. The intimate podcast format allows guests to "take off the makeup" and speak straight from the heart.

Julian's own voice as a host also evolved greatly, sharpening his ability to "sharpen my opinions and own them" rather than holding back. As Hope notes, his "bold voice" and willingness to break rules allowed for brave, unfiltered exchanges.

The Regenerative Renaissance

One of the most powerful aspects of Green Planet Blue Planet was its role in uplifting and spreading the concept of "regeneration" and "regenaissence" - a rebirth and modern renaissance of regenerative thinking and living.

Julian shares about celebrating the win of "contributing to the movement of people seeking a more beautiful world". The mission from the start was to create a platform to give a voice to elders and cultural leaders like: Bruce Lipton, Cynthia Jurs, Swami Chidananda, Charles Eisenstein, James Nestor, Alessa Berg, Daniel Christian Wahl and many more... The podcast surfed the "wave" of an evolving cultural consciousness.

Balancing Ambition and Appreciation

While celebrating the show's impact, Julian also explores the tension between ambition and contentment. As one of the top 2.5% most popular podcasts globally, there is success to appreciate. Yet the "competitive comparative culture" can breed a nagging sense of "what am I doing that it's not 100,000 listeners?"

Ultimately, Julian seems to land in an understanding that trusting the intention behind your authentic expression is what matters most. The podcast created a "360 degree circle of regeneration" - and that completeness is worth pausing to honor.

What's Next?

Though Green Planet Blue Planet is ending for now, Julian and Hope are already flowing their creative energy into new channels like the "Breaking Rules of Business as Usual" video series. They are excited about facilitating more in-person gatherings that "dive deeper into one's own evolution" in an intimate group setting.

As Julian shares, "This is not the end. This is just wrapping a 360 degree circle of the regeneration conversation." The wave of personal, cultural and planetary regenaissence continues to swell, with Julian riding alongside as a guide and catalyst.

So stay tuned for whatever surprising form Julian's voice takes next as he keeps embodying the core message: Invest in "the bonds of relationships" as we co-create a more beautiful world.

The Boring Revolution.

The matter of this Better Worlds episode is far from mundane. As advocated by Indy Johar, co-founder of Dark Matter Labs, who visited with Green Planet Blue Planet Host Julian Guderley for this podcast episode, a boring revolution is a fundamental shift in how we as humans perceive ourselves, our relationships, and the institutional frameworks that reinforce those perceptions. The old world view created over time, positions humans as dominion over everything instead of recognizing the agency and aliveness of everything, including objects.

This episode explores multiple facets of this paradigm shift challenges us to fundamentally rethink what it means to be human and how we relate to each other and the planet. Indy suggests our current worldview and societal structures are extractive, guided by externalities, and they put humanity at risk of self-termination.

In other words, we have constructed a language of humans being in dominion over the world, in control of the world through theories constructed in various ways, including by religions. Next, Indy says, we constructed perspective, which put distance between us and put control into bureaucracy, governance, kings etc. Humans then separated themselves from the world, turned things into objects rather than perceiving them as entanglements in relationship with humans. That led to classifications and language shifts from verb - action oriented terms - to nouns, and finally moved into a thesis of property as a universal means of organizing. The worldview became one of control over, and property - ownership - became an enslavement of things.

This week’s episode of Green Planet Blue Planet perfectly reflects Dana Meadows’s messages from 1972 in her book Limits to Growth. More than a half-century later, humanity is still grappling with the same question. David Peter Stroh, author of “Systems Thinking for Social Change: A Practice Guide to Solving Complex Problems” dives into the subject of  empowering individuals to create change when the world needs it most.

"People don't need enormous cars; they need respect. They don't need closets full of clothes; they need to feel attractive and they need excitement, challenge, acknowledgment, love, joy. To try to fill these needs with material things is to set up an unquenchable appetite for false solutions to real and never satisfied problems." … Dana Meadows from the book Limits to Growth, 1972 

Stroh outlines systems thinking in this episode of Green Planet Blue Planet with host Julian Guderley, beginning with the enormous question: What does the world need most from people?

Simply - it is a deeper appreciation of where joy truly originates.

Taught by the advertisers in the free market, people expect joy to come from the acquisition of stuff. With the gifting holidays approaching, it’s definitely on peoples’ minds and weighing heavy on hearts as they are bombarded with continuous messages to acquire more and more things. 

Stroh said research shows human joy comes from connecting: Connecting with nature, and being nourished by nature, connecting with other people, and certainly connecting with different experiences and different places. Starting out as a transportation designer in government, he ultimately gravitated toward the spiritual aspects of connections and his passion for acting, both useful to him in his next movement into the field of organizational development.  This led him to question the conventional approaches to organizational development to shift to a focus on the underlying visions and aspirations and the way in which individuals relate to each other and the larger environment.

Stroh co-founded Innovation Associates in the 1970s with Peter Senge, who in 1990 authored a book on the art and practices of learning organizations, entitled The Fifth Discipline, based on their pioneering work on systems thinking, which is core to understanding the often non obvious connections between different parts of an evolving system. 

Listen to the entire podcast and engage in the discussion to explore new perspectives on transforming our mindset for effective solutions to chronic complex issues, as well as navigating the paradoxes involved in gaining control of large and unwieldy systems.
