Been really loving doing a podcast. The title of our podcast is The Way Forward-Regenerative Conversations. We focus on how we need to shift to create a thriving future for humanity and planet. This week we had a conversation with JB MacKinnon author of The Day the World Stopped Shopping and The 100 Mile Diet about how we can reduce consumption for both greater happiness and a sustainable world. Would love your feedback on the podcast and think you all would love our conversation with JB.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: The Way Forward Regenerative Conversations. In this episode, we explore Indigenous World Views as a pathway toward regeneration. We talk with Lloyd Hansen – a humble, curious, and wise person who has earned the privilege of being called a 21st century renaissance man. He was raised by a minister whose focus was love and social justice. As a young man he became intrigued by the work of Joseph Campbell ¬– which led him to recognize that there were different perspectives possible in seeing and experiencing the world. At age 51, Lloyd was introduced to Peruvian shamanism and began his exploration of Native American wisdom. This profoundly shaped his consciousness and informed his life. For the last 2 ½ years Lloyd has been exploring the work of theoretical physicist David Bohm. This work along with other studies has Lloyd saying: everything is about relationships, everything is related, becoming fully human is doing the inner work necessary to create and nurture these relationships and transformation emerges from wholeness.

Speaking today outside of Toronto. Great event with London Drugs partners. As I looked at the auditorium this morning I thought "I miss the stage but not all the travel to get to the podium.” Still there is nothing like an audience of 800 people to remind me of my love for it.

Some people have described the past two years as The Great Resignation because of the number of people who have left the labor pool, but I prefer to call it The Great Reconsideration. People of all ages are reconsidering their relationship to work and life.
