We are excited to welcome Caleb Quaid, the founder and owner of Regenerative Shift. Caleb’s background is in professional sports, as he worked for 12 years in the NFL overseeing stadium operations and capital projects. In 2021, Caleb had a personal realization that the story of unlimited natural resources and continuous growth is no longer working, and that business and development will need to shift towards growth in connection with nature, its resources, and the biodiversity of life. Out of this personal call, Regenerative Shift was born! Now, the company works to promote, educate, and assist in the transition to regenerative practices, all in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This is the first episode in the relaunch of our official IDEAS For Us podcast!

Oysters are a keystone species. They filter water at 50 gallons per day, they protect shorelines, and they provide habitat for a lot of juvenile species. They are powerhouses. Oyster Boys Conservation's mission is to get “more of them boys back in the water!”

We sat down with Oyster Boys Dom and Skylar to talk about threats to water quality on Florida's Coast and beyond and how OBC is intervening with Vertical Oyster Gardens. Listen about their deployment of VOG's on Florida's Sun Coast.
