The Business of Awakening: Finding a generative future within our businesses with Garry Turner


Listen Later

If we are to create a regenerative future we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us, how can we shift the extractive, profit-based business model that imprisons our industries?  What would happen if we unleashed the creative potential of those who are caught in a model that is no longer fit for purpose?  Insights from Garry Turner, industrialist, businessman, thought leader - and change agent.   

Garry Turner has spent most of his professional life as an international product manager looking after £20m of business within a £3bn business within the chemical industry.  Until 2018, he was locked into the life of job/mortgage/car/KPIs and all that goes with external validation.  And then he woke up - and realised that any sense of meaning and purpose was missing.   His journey since then is one of opening and awakening taken in the most grounded way, so that he can express fully what it means to be human at this time of total transformation.  He still works in the same job in the same industry, but now he runs a podcast dedicated to human transformation, and describes himself as a 'strategic advisor and thinking partner', offering coaching to others on the same path. He spends his days working towards a generative future we'd be proud to leave behind.

In this profoundly moving conversation, we delve deeply into his journey, from his surgery for testicular cancer, through a growing awareness of the change he can make in the world, to a place now where he is actively engaging in many different ways with people and ideas that can bring about the transformation we need to see.
