Ready to revolutionize your business and perhaps even the world? Let your curiosity carry you through our enlightening conversation with Robertson Work—an accomplished author, activist, and professor—who introduces us to the transformative concept of Doughnut Economics. It's an economic model that fuses social justice with ecological regeneration. Robertson generously shares his experiences of applying this innovative model in his activism work with the Swannanoa River watershed, inspiring us to tie our financial decisions and business strategies to our deepest values and the wider community. 

As we pivot our conversation towards the business sphere, Robertson decodes how Doughnut Economics can be seamlessly integrated with any venture. Unearthing the possibilities, we learn how this groundbreaking model encourages us to think long-term, foster a culture of courage, and embrace change. Allow yourself to be intrigued as we uncover how Doughnut Economics can unshackle creativity, problem-solving, and fresh perspectives in business. To empower you in this journey, we point you towards invaluable resources like the Donut Economics Action Lab website and the Swannanoa Watershed Action Network.
