79. Living a Regenerative Life: Falling in Love with a Sustainable Future with Paul Hawken

Few people believe we can come together to start fighting climate change, but Paul Hawken is one of those people. An environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author, Paul has dedicated his life to environmental sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the planet. He believes in the power of regeneration, which to Paul has two meanings: regenerating life on Earth, and a new generation of humanity coming together to restore our environment. His latest book contains the most comprehensive plan ever proposed for reversing climate change. This conversation provides a fresh perspective on what feels like an old topic and gives us all the tools we need to play our role in healing the planet. &nbsp; Paul is the founder of both Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration; he writes about nature and commerce and consults with heads of state and CEOs on climatic, economic, and ecological regeneration. He has spoken at countless Universities, and has worked with a multitude of impressive organizations and people from Martin Luther King Jr. to the King of Sweden, and has been featured and profiled in hundreds of national and international publications. He has written nine books including six national and New York Times bestsellers: Growing a Business, The Next Economy, The Ecology of Commerce, Blessed Unrest, Drawdown, and Regeneration.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Let’s dig into living with a regenerative way of thinking!&nbsp; &nbsp; [00:01 - 10:28] Opening Segment &nbsp; Paul introduces the ecological regeneration concept.
