"Mother Nature does not create monocultures". Paying attention to the climate and our soil is something we need to be focusing on these days. I sat down and chatted with Ian Williams on why we should care about climate change and regenerative agriculture and what we can do today to help.

In this episode Ian talks about…

• His story and background in drugs and alcohol and how he turned his life around
• Why he was more into holistic and integrative practices of health and wellness
• Why he is involved in regenerative agriculture and climate change
• Describes his book “Soil & Spirit: Seeds of Purpose, Nature's Insight, & the Deep Work of Transformational Change”

And so so much more, you want to listen all the way to the end. Such an enriching conversation, I could listen to Ian talk for hours and hope you feel the same. 

Ian's Bio: 

Years of addiction and recovery forced Ian to relentlessly pursue self-awareness and behavior modification. Decades of talk therapy, deep immersion in the energy arts, and a single mystical experience led him to a discovery: the only way out is in. In other words, the way to transform the world is to transform ourselves.

That is why, when it comes to scaling solutions to global challenges, Ian believes in the power of people. As a teacher and business advisor, he understands that systemic change applied to the epicenters of culture (individuals) and environmental impact (organizations), can reshape the world for the better.

Ian is a gifted speaker and process facilitator who leverages a background in education and regenerative design to generate simple solutions for complex challenges. He holds a Masters of Public Affairs, with an emphasis in Leadership Strategy and Organizational Culture from the University of Minnesota, Humphrey School.
